Overgrown vegetation in yards 9 Sep 2020 8:37 AM - Lachlan Shire Council would like to remind residents that they are responsible for the maintenance of their yards, including any grasses, weeds, plants or other vegetation growing in large quantities within their property.Due to the recent significant rainfall coming out of the drought, household vegetation is thriving and needs to be maintained.We are coming into warmer weather and, if plants are allowed to grow out of control, the vegetation will dry off and create a fire hazard.Overgrown vegetation also poses the risk of creating a habitat or harbourage for snakes and other vermin.Given the already wet weather, and with summer on the way, minimising the overgrowth will minimise mosquito breeding habitats.If vegetation overgrowth is not attended to and the vegetation becomes a hazard, a notice may be served on the owner or property occupier.
