Our grass slashing program is well underway 🌱
The City’s annual grass mowing and slashing program commenced in September and is well underway throughout Greater Bendigo.
Through the annual program, the City undertakes grass slashing across various roadsides throughout the municipality to reduce the potential risk and impact of fire in our rural landscapes.
The City undertakes two road-side cuts during the high growth period and aims to have these works completed before the Christmas break. To date, the City’s contractors have undertaken 87% of the first cut.
In addition, the City also delivers a broad range of cuts throughout the urban landscape to over 700 sites across the municipality. Locations include median strips, along waterways, cul de sacs, drainage lines, pathways and vacant land reserves.
It’s important for the community to know that the City is not the only authority responsible for grass cutting and slashing on roadsides and Crown Land areas. Other authorities also play a role in undertaking seasonal slashing works.
