Roadside Mowing
Roadside Mowing & Vegetation Control
Regular maintenance of our roadside and footpath areas, including mowing and clearing vegetation, is crucial for maintaining clear visibility and access. By keeping these areas well-maintained, we enhance the safety and efficiency of our roadways, enabling drivers and pedestrians to navigate with ease and confidence.
Factors such as weather and the time of year significantly influence the rate at which vegetation grows.
If you notice an area where vegetation is obstructing visibility or access, report it to us.

Raise a request
Before you begin
When lodging your request, you will have the option to attach photos or other supporting documents.
Location matters!
Providing specific details about the location of the issue helps us identify and address it quickly. Please include cross streets, house numbers, or identifying landmarks.
Next steps
- You'll receive an acknowledgement with your request number.
- We maintain certain areas on a regular schedule. When we receive a request, we first check if the area is already scheduled for maintenance. If it is, we will address the issue during the next scheduled visit. If the area isn't on our regular maintenance schedule, we will send a crew out to take care of it.
- Maintenance of vegetation which poses a potential safety issue, such as long grass impacting motorists' visibility, is prioritised.
- Once your request has been completed, you will receive a notification. Please note that the completion of your request may mean the work has been actioned or scheduled.
Time frames
Requests for mowing will be addressed within our scheduled vegetation control cycle, which typically occurs every 6-8 weeks. Please note that cycle times may be affected by competing priorities, such as storm events and other emergency works.
