A verge is the area of land that lies between a property boundary and a road.
Verges are a shared resource and are used in a number of ways:
Enable utility servicing to properties e.g. electricity, gas, water, sewage
Provision of a crossover (or driveway) to connect a property to a road
Enable the City to plant trees which are aesthetically pleasing and reduce heat
Provide frameworks for the installation of a footpath
Potential to serve important ecological functions in urban environments.
Property owners, property managers and residents whose property is connected or adjacent (fronting) to the verge are responsible for maintaining the verge. This includes:
Mowing
Weeding
Pruning
Mulching
Maintaining any approved structures
The City provides a minimum service to ensure unkempt verges are maintained.
A crossover (also known as the section of driveway on the verge), is established to connect a property to the road and is the responsibility of the property owner. For more information please refer to the City’s Crossover webpage.
The City sprays weeds along footpaths and kerbs, when they become a problem. The chemical used is Glyphosate, which is non-residual and kills the weeds by absorption through the leaves and transferring to the root system.
Please refer to Street Trees Pruning and Planting webpage for detailed information.
