Grass and weed maintenance
We manage grass and weeds across Hume City parks and reserves. Our mowing crews work across Hume covering 20,000,000 square meters of grass.
If you have any concerns, we encourage you to use the Snap Send Solve app to report a problem and it will be directed to the appropriate authority to action.
Our target is to mow 95% of our parks and reserves every four-weeks (some every two-weeks) alongside maintenance such as weekly or fortnightly brush cutting, litter pick-up and mulching works.
Service level explanation of turf management:
- Level one – popular locations with high foot traffic are serviced weekly/fortnightly with litter collected weekly. Eg Galaxyland and Jack Roper.
- Level two – Fortnightly service, high profile sites with less attention to detail.
- Level three – 80% of sites. Less detail in garden beds and longer turf.
Council may not always have the authority to address concerns along certain roadways, for example major roads are sometimes managed by the Department of Transport and Planning (eg. VicRoads).
The Department of Transport (VicRoads) are responsible for the roadside maintenance of the following roads:
- Sydney Road
- Pascoe Vale Road
- Mickleham Road
- Somerton Road
