FAQs
Why are we replacing the fence?
The current fence frequently requires repairs to keep the park safe for everyone. It has reached the point where repairing the fence is no longer sustainable and therefore it needs replacing.
Why is the fence Homestead style?
This style is consistent with other recently upgraded fences across Vincent. We've chosen Homestead fencing because it is proven to be more durable, easier to maintain and better value for money.
Why are you using gravel?
The purpose of eco zoning is to replace under-utilised turf with more eco-friendly materials. In this case the gravel reduces the amount of water used, but still allows water to permeate, rather than run off into roads and stormwater drains. Another benefit is the reduction of mowing close to the roads, which can be hazardous to staff and road users.
Why plant bird-attracting varieties given there are dogs using the park?
We will be reviewing the plant species selected and choosing the most appropriate ones for this park, keeping this feedback in mind. Priority will be given to plants that require less water, and less roadside maintenance, for safety.
