We bought our block over 2 years ago & I can tell you that the grass (weeds) never got over a foot high. The council did do a good job of regularly slashing the block & other blocks in the area I must say. You would have to mow the nature strip once in though.
I reckon some of the levy goes to keeping those geese fed. How huge are they!! Nasty buggers too

Thast is what it should be fore, great to see they do all that. I have heard a few stories where they take thh money, promise the earth and dont do any maintenance.
