Citizens may self-approve their road gardens

Posted by on Sunday, March 3, 2013 · 1 Comment 

Sydney City Council has recognised that its citizens don’t need nannying if they wish to garden.

Citizens may give themselves  approval to garden in public in the road verge.

A new policy adopted by Council on Monday 25 February 2013 makes clear that Sydney citizens may self-approve their own road gardens.

“The Footpath Gardening Policy (the Policy) allows residents and businesses to put planter boxes on the footpath and/or carry out gardening on footpath verges outside their properties under certain conditions.”.

Let a thousand gardens bloom, and a thousand more . . .

Citizens – you may download the policy as a PDF (598kb) here.

    Thanks for sharing this, Michael. I have linked it to our Lord Mayor and a Councillor to see whether they have anything like this in the pipeline for Adelaide.
