To have a path alongside lovely green grass, plantation and trees is extremely attractive creating beauty to our area. The joy to walk along our paths admiring the beauty and seeing and listening to the birds I love doing. To imagine this turning to a dustbowl is extremely sad, and for reasons not good enough. Austin Cove does not deserve this unreasonable neglect to stop watering our verges!

I strongly support this petition and also strongly disagree with what the shire is doing. Very little.

I believe if the Shire wants to turn the water off then they should replant a native verge in its place. We have planted our own native verge however it would be difficult if not impossible for some of the older residents to do this on their own, which is an extremely unfair expectation for the shire to have. If they are asking us to plant biodiverse, water wise verges then the shire should install them, and the residents can maintain them from there as we have all been doing with the grass. How about some flowering natives to support our local bee populations? And some native trees and shrubs for the local bird populations? This would also support some local nurseries to supply the vegetation so it's a win-win.

What's a bit of water on the grass verge in order to keep everyone happy.

We pay our rates, we are not allowed to plant in our verges. The site if Murray has a job to do, our rates pay for the crown land maintenance and upkeep.

This is a poor decision. It is effecting the amenity of the estate. I wonder if a compensation claim can be launched.

Keep the verges green and maintain our lovely estate and our property values.

When we bought this property the verges were watered and it's part of the value of our properties. So this needs to be kept up and made as efficient as possible. For instance, minimal watering days to minimise water use - and damage to the sprinklers should be avoided to prevent expensive and wasteful maintenance.

I believe the Shire of Murray should re- instate the water supply to the grass verges at Austin Cove and also supplement the existing planting beds with additional native shrubs to replace those that have died.

Most unhappy with this decision as the grass verge is dead already & downgrades our Estate.

Keeping the area green is good for the environment, reduces urban heat and maintains property values.
