Water wise strategy for Village landscape |
|
|
With Brisbane heading towards Level 3 water restrictions in the coming weeks, steps have been taken at the Kelvin Grove Urban Village over recent months to reduce the water needed to maintain lawns and landscaping. A biodegradable foam product has been applied to the root systems of lawns and trees to help the soil hold water, air and nutrients and reduce the need for watering. Computerized water sensing devices have also been installed to monitor surrounding soil moisture content so already moist areas are not watered unnecessarily. Under the current level 2 restrictions, the irrigation system has been switched off and any additional watering is carried out by a water tanker truck using purchased water. The estate management consultants for the Village are liaising with the Brisbane City Council to establish how Level 3 restrictions will impact on public parks and landscaping. |
