Council has a team of staff who maintain our parks on a full-time basis. We aim to achieve the following turf maintenance standards 90% of the time, noting that it may not always be possible to meet standard in periods of warm weather and high rainfall.
Park type | Grass height maintenance standard (under normal weather conditions) | Weed content maintenance standard |
|---|---|---|
Regional Parks -
Receive a high level of use and are very important to the community and beyond. The parks are maintained to a high standard (eg. Ashfield Park, Camperdown Park and Pioneers Memorial Park)
| 35mm – 60mm | <10% in any 1,000m2 |
Sub-Regional Park –
Receive a moderate level of use and generally only attract visitors from the local LGA and surrounding community (eg. O’Dea Reserve, Reg Coady Reserve and War Memorial Park)
| 35mm – 70mm | <15% in any 1,000m2 |
Neighbourhood (Pocket) Park -
These are small parks which receive a low level of use for passive recreation by local residents within walking distance (eg. Hearn Street Playground and Trevor Street Reserve)
| 35mm – 70mm | <20% in any 1,000m2 |
