Roads & Footpaths

Help Keep Footpaths Clear

While we all enjoy the leafy character of our suburbs, this should not be at the expense of the elderly or disabled who have trouble walking around tree branches. Please keep your trees pruned back from footpaths, before the Council does it for you and sends you the bill!

For more information, call 8366 4200.

Verges

You are encouraged to maintain the verge outside your property to enhance our already attractive streets. Landscaping with trees and shrubs can be incorporated but check with Council.

Call 8366 4200 before doing any work.

Property Access and Drainage

Construction of gutter crossings, driveway aprons and property drains to the street gutter is charged to the resident. We are happy to provide advice and costings.

For more information please contact 8366 4200.

Driveway and Gutter Crossing Application

Drains

Street gutters, stormwater drains and creeks are there to take away rainfall. Do your bit for the environment and users of waterways downstream by keeping leaves, litter, car washing water and oil out of gutter and drain inlets.

Phone: 8366 4200.

Underground Telephone Cables

If you damage cables under your yard, Telstra will charge for repairs.

If you are not sure where cables are laid, ring before you dig or you might end up digging into your own pocket!

Call "Dial before you Dig" on 1100 to check.
