Lord Mayor’s message

Mowing season in full swing 

With the warmer weather, you’ve probably noticed you’re mowing your own grass more often and that’s the case across our city’s parks too.

Each year our crews mow more than 70,000 hectares of grass – the equivalent of mowing Suncorp Stadium 63,000 times over. November marks the start of our summer mowing schedule, with teams working long days, even through weekends, to keep our parks looking their best.

While the hot weather and summer storms can be great for growing, they’re not always easy for mowing.

Our crews will be out whenever the weather allows to help maintain our incredible parks ready for families to picnic and play.
