Dear Resident,
REQUEST FOR PLANTS FOR BEAUTIFICATION OF ROAD RESERVE OR
RESERVE
Thank you for your request to receive a supply of plants for planting on the
road reserve or reserve neighbouring your property.
The Council provides these plants to assist residents to beautify the street &
the environment surrounding their properties and as a measure of
assistance towards the maintenance of the unformed road reserve that
neighbours most properties. These plants cannot be used & planted
within your private property.
The Network Services Department have prepared an information
notice (attached) as to where plants can be planted on the road
reserve which you should note before confirming your order for
plants. Any deviation from this will be rectified at your cost.
The Parks & Facilities Department arrange the delivery of the plants
requested to an area by your letter box from the start of September.
The plant delivery form is attached and this should be returned to the
Council prior to the 1st July. Any forms returned after this date may not
be filled until the following year.
We limit the number of plants that can be supplied each year to ten per
property; this is so the maximum number of residents can benefit from the
supply of a limited number of plants within a set budget. You may apply in
future years for additional plants.
In filling out the delivery form we prefer you to complete the General
Requirements section rather than detail the plant species. Our skilled
landscape contractor will select plants that best fit your general plant
requirements from the range of plants we have available.

If you specify a plant species we will endeavour to provide plants that are
the same or similar to the plants requested, but we are limited to supplying
stock that is surplus to landscape projects that we have undertaken during
the winter period. The Nursery production is 80% native tree & shrub
production. Specialist or high value plants will not be supplied: - for
example Camellia, Rhododendron, Protea, grafted trees, fruit trees, palms,
etc.
If you have any question about the beautification project please don’t
hesitate to contact me on 539 5526.
Yours faithfully
Paul Wynen
Urban Landscape Supervisor
