Roster Mowing Guidelines

A key to access the church buildings is contained in a small code operated Key Safe mounted on the brick wall to the Right-Hand side of the car park glass entry doors. For instructions and code pease see KeySafe. (Login required)

Mowing guidelines

Mow all lawn areas surrounding the church buildings and trim edges if required.
Weed garden beds as required.
Sweep paths as required including ramp entrance to the South Extension.
Remove any windblown rubbish from the carpark, lawns and church surrounds.
Please be prepared to mow the lawns even if there is little growth. If it is not necessary to mow please check the grounds for papers and weeds.
Volunteers may prefer to bring their own mower; however, the Church has a 4-stroke mower which is available for use [refer to notes attached to the mower]. Do not set mower blades too low, particularly if the lawn has been re-seeded, as this may tear the grass shoots from the ground.
Use only 4 Stroke fuel in the church mower. Use only 2 stroke fuel in the line-trimmer. Cans of fuel are in the garden shed, marked as 4 Stroke and 2 Stroke.
Place lawn clippings in the green bins, but not more than half full, as a full bin is too heavy for the garbage truck lifting gear. Lawn clippings in excess of ½ bin should be spread over garden beds. Garden waste is cleared fortnightly, so the clippings may need to be spread some weeks and not others. Alternatively, you may take the clippings home for use as mulch.
The mower, line-trimmer and other garden tools are stored in the shed accessible via the children’s playground – the key to access the main church build opens the shed.
