Verge Beautification Program

The City of Fremantle has implemented a Verge Beautification Program throughout the city.  The aim of the program is to green verges in the City with native plants that have a low water demand to reduce water use and costs associated with mowing grassed verges. 

As part of the program, the City of Fremantle offers subsidised native groundcover plants for verges in Fremantle.  At the time of writing (December 2003), residents can pay $5.00 for approximately $13.00 worth of plants.  City of Fremantle also supply free mulch and free street trees to residents to assist with the establishment of the native verge garden.

Recently completed Verge Beautification areas include Wray Avenue, Fremantle and Russell Street, Fremantle.
