You will need to ensure that your neighbours are supportive – news story
From their website:
“In Boroondara the most common type of residential naturestrip is mown grass, often with one or more street trees. This is Council’s preferred naturestrip treatment and does not require a permit.
“Council relies on the established community expectation that residents maintain their own naturestrips as neat and tidy.”
Boroondara Council covers Melbourne suburbs, east of the CBD, including Kew, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Balwyn, and Surrey Hills.
