Frequently asked questions

If you see a street or park tree that needs maintaining, report it to Council.

Before you make a complaint, talk to the owner about the issue.

Residents are responsible for mowing the grassy area of nature strips, also known as the verge garden.

Nature strips are the areas of land between the front of a property and the kerb and channel, including the footpath.

Council is responsible for maintaining the footpath on the nature strip.

Sometimes weather conditions delay scheduled Council maintenance, causing grass in parks and other areas to become overgrown.

You can report overgrown grass to us.
