Before you list: three things worth telling a mower about a Keilor lawn
- Brimbank's green bin is opt-in. If you haven't taken it, say so and choose 'mower takes the clippings' when you list.
- Blocks running down to the river valley: tell the mower what the bottom boundary is and how steep the drop gets.
- Hume side of Keilor? Say so. Your bin days and strip rules come from a different council to the village's.
Keilor lawn mowing questions
How much does lawn mowing cost in Keilor?+
A 180 m² Keilor lawn comes out at $100-$145 per cut in our model. A lawn front and back sits inside the band, and a big block with a long strip goes over it.
Does Brimbank mow the strip outside my Keilor house?+
No. Brimbank keeps the strip as council land but runs no mowing round for it, so it relies on residents to mow theirs and keep it free of hazards. List it with the lawn and it is cut in the same visit.
Is there a green bin in Keilor for clippings?+
Only if you've opted in. Brimbank charges $103.30 a year for a 140 L bin or $115.49 for 240 L, fortnightly, with a 12-month minimum. Collection goes weekly under the four-bin system from 1 July 2027.
About Keilor
James Watson took up the land around 1838-40 and named it after his father's Chapel Keilor property in Scotland. Overnewton homestead was built between 1849 and 1859, the post office opened on 2 March 1854, church schools in 1853, St Augustine's in 1863 and Christ Church in 1877. The township was still under 600 people in the 1960s, a farming district. Post-war suburban expansion followed, and Overnewton Anglican College opened in 1987.
Around a million years ago lava covered the older landscape and left the basalt plain, and the Maribyrnong has been cutting down through it since. The Keilor cranium, found in 1940 near the river's junction with Dry Creek, is dated at about 14,700 years. Basalt clay is wet in winter and cracked by high summer. A block down in the river valley is on different ground, so say how yours drains.
Brimbank keeps the strip as council land but has no mowing round for it, so it relies on residents to mow theirs and keep it free of hazards. The food and garden organics bin is opt-in: $103.30 a year for 140 L or $115.49 for 240 L, collected fortnightly, on a 12-month minimum. From 1 July 2027 a four-bin system makes it weekly. The northern part of Keilor is in Hume, whose rules are different, so check which council rates you pay.
