Verges and naturestrips

1. Overview

Council cuts residential verges from late winter to early summer and depending on seasonal factors.

As a result of a service review during 2023, Council supported extra budget allocations for verge mowing. Urban residential verges are to be mown up to six times a year, up from an average of three. This will keep our streets looking neater and tidier. In early January 2024 Council also changed its contractor to deliver this service.  

Council also cuts roadside verges to reduce fire risks and line of site obstructions for motorists. This is done at the end of spring. Cutting outside of this program is only undertaken if high growth creates risks for traffic or pedestrians. Cut grass is not collected but left on the verge.
