No Mow Program (opt‑out)
If you prefer to maintain the verge next to your property, you can opt out of Council mowing by following the instructions below:
- Contact Council and ask to join the No Mow Program.
- Council will mark the verge perimeter with a small “no mow” logo on the footpath or kerb.
- Your verge is added to the program, and you take over maintenance. You can ask Council to resume mowing at any time.
