Call for patience as weather delays park mowing
Council teams care for almost 1100 hectares of parklands and reserves – equivalent to 1464 football fields – but many of these are currently saturated.
Weather conditions have made sites difficult to access, which increases the risk of damaging them if we do and also means mowing and collecting clippings is a challenge.
As many residents will be finding with their own yards, the extended warm weather and humidity also has supercharged grass growth.
We ask the community’s patience as our mowing and maintenance services go about their important work, which will step up once conditions improve.
We appreciate that you, our community, are our eyes and ears on the ground so If you see something urgent that needs attention, or is a risk to the community, you can log requests via our website, phone 5475 7272, or email us at [email protected].
