While I'm in the mood for peevish protest:
Council sets a high standard for private developers when it comes to landscaping and the need to incorporate indigenous species and even more importantly to maintain them to a proper standard.
Why then, does it pay enormous amounts of money to have it's own landscaped areas planted to those standards, and not educate those who must maintain them? The planting at Tooway Creek has been decimated by over zealous use of the whipper snipper and glysophate!
The little brown clumps are native grasses, planted in a revegetation project and happily killed by the maintenance guys. The green lumps, well they are weeds.
Why?
