The policy sets out to consistently manage the maintenance of grass verges in our district.
The draft Grass Verge Policy states that the maintenance of grass verges is the responsibility of the connecting property owner. However, there are exemptions. If the connecting land owner is ill, elderly, has a steep grass verge or if the grass verge is over 300m², an application can be made to Council. If approved, Council will maintain the connecting grass verge.
For further information, or a copy of the draft policy or submission form – visit www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz or any Council office or library.
