With the rainy season in full swing, our greening teams have been actively responding to the lush growth throughout Riverhorse Valley. Increased rain has brought an added focus on grass cutting, tree trimming, and enhanced maintenance to keep the precinct looking vibrant and well-maintained.
Greening and New Garden Installations
This month, our teams have installed a new garden along Riverhorse Road and undertaken tree trimming around Island Circle. The rains have encouraged rapid growth, making these additions and upkeep essential for preserving the precinct’s inviting appearance.
