Before you list: three things worth telling a mower about a Maribyrnong lawn
- Edgewater or the older streets? Say which, and roughly how old the lawn is. Turf age sets the cut height.
- If the block runs down toward the river trail, say what the boundary is and whether the mower can get to it.
- Buildings of five or more units don't get the council green bin. Say if clippings need to leave with the mower.
Maribyrnong lawn mowing questions
How much does lawn mowing cost in Maribyrnong?+
In our model a 180 m² Maribyrnong lawn is around $105-$155 each time. A courtyard lawn quotes under; a full block with a strip lands in the band.
What are the nature strip rules in Maribyrnong?+
The resident maintains it: mowing, weeding, trimming the edges and picking up litter. Council owns the street trees and residents may not plant or remove one. Planted strips need a free permit and stay under 80 cm.
Does the Edgewater estate get the green bin?+
Houses and developments of up to four units do, a 240 L green-lid bin fortnightly inside the rates. Buildings of five or more units are not served yet, so a mower there needs to take the clippings away.
About Maribyrnong
Defence work shaped the place for most of a century. The ordnance factory was added in 1920 and had 8,805 workers at its wartime peak in 1942. Houses grew around it slowly: 697 people in 1921, 2,088 in 1947. The Methodist church opened in 1911, the primary school in 1912 and the high school in 1958 on a former quarry. Highpoint Shopping Centre opened in 1975 with 418 shops, and Homemaker City in 1990. The 128 hectare former explosives factory is earmarked for about 3,000 homes and parkland.
The river encloses the suburb on three sides. The former flood-prone alluvial terraces were developed, and linear parks and river trails follow the bends. Edgewater, near Highpoint, is the main modern subdivision. The terraces are river ground rather than basalt plain, so say what your lawn does after a wet week.
Maribyrnong City Council has the resident maintain the nature strip, with mowing, weeding, edge trimming and litter, and it plants and looks after the street trees. Planted strips need a free permit and plants under 80 cm. The green-lid food and garden organics bin is fortnightly, alternating with recycling, 240 L as standard and covered by the rates for houses and blocks of up to four units. Five-plus unit buildings do not have it yet.
