Brief comments/description

You must be able to answer YES to all points in the checklist below by indicating with a tick. Please contact Council on urbanecology@innerwest.nsw.gov.au if you have any questions.

I have thoroughly read the Verge Garden and Adopt-a-Spot Policy and Guidelines.

My verge garden will be on the verge adjacent to the property in which I live.

I have discussed my verge garden plans with my neighbours and they agree to my plans.

I have contacted Dial Before You Dig and I am aware of any underground services, will only use hand tools and dig no deeper than 300mm.

I will follow all steps outlined in the Verge Garden and Adopt-a-Spot Guidelines on planning a successful verge garden.

My verge garden will have no hard landscaping or ornamental features.

My verge garden will allow room for putting out bins and collection by trucks.

I will maintain my verge garden regularly and ensure it is always safe for myself and others.

I accept that my verge garden is on Council land and prone to unpredictable damage.

I am responsible for any costs and work associated with restoring my verge garden after any damage.

I will advise Council if I move away or no longer wish to maintain my verge garden.

I understand that Council provides public liability insurance for registered verge gardeners who follow the Verge Garden and Adopt-a-Spot Policy and Guidelines, but Council does not provide personal accident insurance.

I understand that I need to receive written approval from Council before I start my verge garden.

If you are renting, please attach an approval letter from the property owner. If you live in a multi-unit dwelling, please attach an approval letter from Strata.
