Collingwood Children’s Farm has new management.

A successful community business model born on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula is being rolled out at one of Melbourne’s most iconic sites. 

Wallara Australia has been appointed Committee of Management for the Collingwood Children’s Farm, bringing with it the proven Sages Cottage Farm model developed in Baxter on the Peninsula. Backed by a $1 million Victorian Government investment, Wallara will strengthen staffing, upgrade infrastructure and ensure long-term sustainability. 

The transition will create 20 new jobs for people with disabilities, transforming the farm into an inclusive community hub focused on education, employment and connection.
