Greening Verges are back for 2020! Unley residents and organisations are now eligible to apply for a Greening Verges Incentive to assist in greening their verge (nature strip). For a limited number of successful applicants, Council will remove existing dolomite and replace with 100mm depth of soil at no cost, leaving the verges ready for planting.
Applications are available online or hardcopies at the Council Civic Centre. Applications close on Monday 28 September, note that spots will be allocated on a ‘first qualified in, first served’ basis.
Please note that applicants must agree to source and pay costs associated with plants, planting the verge and ongoing maintenance.
