Can I plant my Road Reserve berm?

No, road reserve berms are to be grassed lawn areas only, and should be kept free of vegetation (including vegetables), to ensure safe use of the road and footpath for all users.

If any road reserve planting is deemed to be a hazard, Council can require that it be trimmed or removed. This is for public safety reasons; to ensure clear sight lines and clearance from footpaths, roads, streetlights and drainage.
