City of Kalamunda verge rules for Maida Vale
Maida Vale is in the City of Kalamunda. The City says residents generally look after the verge next to their property, and it provides a basic annual slashing of unmaintained residential verges. The City has verge landscaping conditions, so check with the City which works need a permit before work starts.
Before you dig for a new garden bed, fence or crossover, call Dial Before You Dig on 1100.
Lots, zoning and soils in Maida Vale
Maida Vale has a mix of lot sizes. The City’s Local Housing Strategy identifies smaller urban lots of 450 to 700 m2 in Maida Vale Cell 6 and U4. That strategy is about five years old, so check the current figures. Some lots are zoned Special Rural under Local Planning Scheme No. 3, which provides for small rural lots.
On smaller lots, the garden room is tight, so we plan the space you actually have. According to DPIRD, the nearby foothill soils are yellow and brown sands with gravel, and the DPIRD soil-landscape map will show what sits under your lot.
