City of Cockburn Verge garden policy
This council also has a Water Wise Verge Incentive Scheme that offers residents a rebate of up to $500 on creating a WA native waterwise verge.
You need to apply for approval for fruit and vegetable planters, play equipment and hard surface treatments.
The verge guidelines is quite a complex document – you need to read it carefully. Local native West Australian species are preferred. They have a Grow Local brochure.
