Parks and reserves maintenance

Published on 12 February 2026

With over 4,700 open spaces to maintain, our crews attend to all our parks and reserves on a rotating schedule to keep our grassed areas looking neat, tidy and safe for all to enjoy.

Recent warm temperatures and significant rainfall have brought on unexpected and rapid grass growth. So, it’s possible the grass at your local park or reserve may be a little longer than normal. It also means our parks and maintenance teams are working hard to tend to the faster than usual growth. But don't worry, we have extra staff on the ground to help stay on top of mowing schedules. 

We appreciate your patience as we work through all the sites near you.
