Nature strips in Kingston

Consultation has concluded

**For the latest updates on this project visit the News Feed at the bottom of this page**

Background information

Nature strips account for a significant proportion of open space in the City of Kingston.

They play a range of important functions: practical, aesthetic and environmental.

Changes in climatic conditions and environmental action, including efficient water use and biodiversity goals, have resulted in more residents seeking alternatives to the traditional lawn nature strip.

Nature strips also provide opportunities for vibrant streetscapes and habitat creation through the use of creative plantings.

Council is responsible for ensuring nature strips allow for safe and accessible public use.

This document provides guidance for residents regarding the modification and maintenance of nature strips throughout the City of Kingston. The Guidelines are designed to support residents in modifying their nature strips whilst complying with important safety and legal requirements.
