Maintenance

Council repairs and maintains all earth, asphalt and concrete footpaths within road and drainage reserves. This maintenance activity includes the repair of any footpath defects that could constitute a safety hazard to pedestrian traffic.

Council is responsible for cutting grass in all non-residential areas within the roads and drainage reserves. The purpose of grass cutting is to provide safe, aesthetically appealing and functional road and drainage reserves for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. In peak growing conditions grass is cut every ten days to four weeks, depending on the priority and use of the location.

Unless extreme circumstances apply, Council does not mow residential footpaths. The mowing of footpaths in an urban area should be carried out by residents.

Enquiries regarding the mowing of footpaths on Council roads should be directed to Parks on 07 3412 5338 or email parksdepot@logan.qld.gov.au.
