Footpaths and Verges

Further information is provided below on Verge/Nature Strips, Tree Planting and Removals, as well as frequently asked questions and key documents related to these.

Alexandrina Council encourages all residents to maintain their own verge in front of their property. Residents are encouraged to mow grassed areas and keep the area neat and tidy.

It is an offence to plant a tree, remove a tree or landscape the verge without approval from Council. If you wish to do this, please complete a Residential Landscaping Application form and submit to Council. Download the form Residential Landscaping Application.
