ACT launches interactive mowing map

The ACT Government has introduced a new online mapping tool to help the public keep up to date on where mowing is being conducted on public land throughout the city.

The interactive map will show which suburbs in Canberra have been recently mowed and which suburbs are due to be mowed next.

It will be updated weekly to let the public know of delays to mowing schedules caused by unavoidable events such as wet weather or high fire danger.

“The new mowing map gives people a convenient way to track the progress of mowing in their suburb and the ACT more generally,” ACT Minister for Transport and City Services Meegan Fitzharris said.

“Keeping the public informed about mowing is part of the service that the community expects. This map will assist by providing that information in an easy-to-understand and visual way.

She said since mowing season began in late August, more than 14,000 hectares of public land, including arterial roads and suburban areas, has been mowed across multiple passes. The current mowing season will run until the end of April.
