A Guide to Maintaining Your Nature Strip in Meridian
Welcome to Meridian, a thriving community where residents love to call home! As you continue to love and live in your new home, remember that maintaining your front garden and nature strip plays a crucial role in contributing to the overall aesthetics and pride of our community. Lush greenery and well-kept landscapes and streets foster a sense of belonging and appreciation for our shared environment.
Understanding Your Responsibilities:
While we’ve been taking care of the recently settled nature strips, it’s important to note that although nature strips are council property, ultimately, their upkeep is the responsibility of each homeowner, as defined by Council local laws. The council sets the rules for their upkeep through the Nature Strip Guidelines, which cover mowing, weeding, debris removal, and planting restrictions.
What Does This Mean for You?
As a resident, you’re responsible for the well-being of the nature strip and small garden beds bordering your property, including those behind your garage along the laneway where applicable. Remember, the beautiful trees adorning these spaces are council assets, and tampering with them is strictly prohibited. Additionally, pocket parks and reserves fall under the council’s purview for maintenance.
Maintaining a Beautiful Balance:
Neglecting your nature strip responsibilities can result in the council taking necessary actions, and you might be charged for the incurred costs. To avoid such situations and cultivate a vibrant community together, we encourage you to familiarise yourself with the Nature Strip Guidelines and Parking Regulations readily available on the City of Casey’s website:
Working Together for a Flourishing Community:
By taking pride in our individual spaces and collectively adhering to these guidelines, we can create a truly keep Meridian looking stunning, a neighbourhood where beauty thrives and a sense of community flourishes. We appreciate your cooperation in upholding these efforts!
Remember, a well-maintained nature strip is not just an obligation; it’s an investment in the beauty and value of our community. Let’s work together to make Meridian a vibrant and flourishing place for all!
