We seek your advice, knowledge and ideas on verge gardens and sustainable streets.

In direct response to considerable community interest and grass-roots activism, Marrickville Council has adopted a new approach to verge management and maintenance. Verges, also known as nature-strips are important areas of public land that have the potential to provide ecosystem services and help create more liveable spaces.

An ongoing process of collaboration with the community to manage and maintain footpath gardens will see more sustainable streetscapes emerge.

Your knowledge, advice and feedback is important and we would like to hear from you!
