Before you list: three things worth telling a mower about a Mornington lawn
- Which end: the old town, or Tanti Park and beyond toward Mount Martha? Give the nearest cross street and the gate width: under 70 cm is push-mower only.
- Say whether you have opted into the Shire's $178 green bin. Without it, ask for mulch-mowing or clippings taken away.
- Trees over the lawn or a street tree on the strip: mention them. Street trees are the Shire's, and removing one needs a permit.

About Mornington
Alexander Balcombe held The Briars from 1846. A school opened in 1856 and the court house in 1860-61. Beleura dates from 1863, the post and telegraph office from 1863-64. Steamer day-trippers came from the 1860s, and William Pitt's Grand Hotel opened in 1892. The railway from Frankston arrived in 1889; its passenger service closed in 1981. The name honours the Earl of Mornington, or County Mornington in Ireland.
The high school opened in 1957 and the Tanti Park estate in 1964, and growth ran on until the housing merged with Mount Martha by the 1990s. Over 13.5 square kilometres the suburb holds the old town around Schnapper Point, the bay beaches and estates from Tanti Park on. Beleura and the Fossil Beach cement works are among its heritage sites. Tell the mower which part you are in and roughly when the lawn went down.
