A verge (nature strip) is the area between the property boundary and the kerb and includes footpaths. Verge maintenance is a shared responsibility between Council and residents. While Council provides annual maintenance for road safety and fire mitigation, it is unable to maintain all verges across the district.

Many garden beds within Hamilton Hill now require renewal or modification to ensure sustainable maintenance. Residents are invited to select their preferred verge maintenance option:

1. Self-Maintenance:
   • Residents can opt to maintain their verge.
   • Fill out the S221 Application Form here and email it to mail@ahc.sa.gov.au.
2. Council Maintenance:
   • Council will maintain the verge, topping it with mulch or compacted rubble.
   • Irrigation and declining landscape plants may be removed.
3. Conversion to Parking:
   • Residents can opt to convert their verge to parallel vehicle parking.
   • This may require curb modifications and asphalt sealing.

Important Notes:

• In all cases, verge areas will be non-irrigated, and irrigation will be decommissioned.
• Please notify Council of your preference by emailing mail@ahc.sa.gov.au by 30th April 2025.
• If no response is received, Council will assume you do not wish to maintain your verge, and it will be added to the list for Option 2.
• More information on verge maintenance responsibilities can be found here.
