Lawn mowing in Keilor Park

About Keilor Park

The housing side is the eastern part, and it dates from the 1960s onward, so the lawns are of an age with the streets: half a century and more of the same grass on most blocks, with the odd relaid front. The state primary opened about 1973 and closed in 2008, which dates the run of building. The industrial west is not what this page is about. What matters for a listing is how a lawn that old has worn, where the path across it is compacted, what is under the clothesline, and whether a fence throws shade for half the day.

Steele Creek is the eastern edge, and the Keilor Park recreation reserve, nearly a square kilometre of soccer, tennis, basketball and athletics, has the Keilor Botanic Gardens where the creek crosses it. The Maribyrnong River is the western boundary, Melbourne Airport and Tullamarine are north and the Calder Highway south, with the Western Ring Road on the eastern side. The old Keilor Police Hut stands at 152 Harrick Road, moved there about 2015, and St Augustine's Catholic church has stood since 1863. The suburb sits at 74 m. A block near the creek may behave differently from one up on the flat, so name which you have.

Keilor Park is in the City of Brimbank. Council land, resident's mowing: Brimbank keeps the strip and the tree on it, prunes the tree, and expects the household to mow it, weed it and keep it clear of anything that could trip someone; granitic sand, sleepers and synthetic turf may not go on it. Rates cover rubbish and recycling only; the food and garden bin is ordered separately, fortnightly, on a 12-month minimum, and becomes part of the standard service from 1 July 2027.
