Reporting long grass

Published on 23 January 2025

We're always working hard to ensure that the maintenance of grass on Council-owned and managed land is carried out in a timely manner, with mowing occurring every four weeks on a scheduled program. 

We understand that sometimes grass might grow quicker than we can cut it, so we appreciate when community members flag overgrown areas.  

When it comes to reporting long grass to Council, you can do so via Snap Send Solve or our Report an issue webpage.  

It is important to remember that not all grassy areas within the municipality are owned and managed by Council, some of them are the responsibility of VicRoads – who are in charge of ensuring their areas remain well-maintained. These areas include:*

• Cranbourne-Frankston Road – centre median 

• Frankston-Dandenong Road – centre median  

• Hall Road – centre median  

• Hastings Road – centre median  

• Moorooduc Highway – centre median  

• Nepean Highway from Olivers Hill – centre median  

• Westernport Highway – roundabouts  

*Note: Council is responsible for maintaining the outer separators along Cranbourne-Frankston Road, Frankston-Dandenong Road and Moorooduc Highway. 

You can check whether an area is the responsibility of Council or VicRoads via our My Address property information webpage. If the grass is on ‘VicRoads Declared Roads’, then it is VicRoads responsibility to maintain it. You can find this out by going to ‘Layers’ clicking on the ‘Transport’ dropdown menu and clicking on ‘VicRoads Declared Roads’.  

If you have feedback about long grass on any of VicRoads’ declared roads, we ask that you please lodge it with them directly via their website.
