Parks and reserves maintenance

Published on 04 February 2026

Burrawang Close Reserve Brookfield

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. 

Concerned about overgrown grass near you? Let us know one of the following ways:

  2. Submit the online parks and reserves maintenance form

Thanks for doing your part to keep our community safe and beautiful.
