Work schedules — Grass cutting

Brisbane City Council maintains over 70,000 hectares of grass across Brisbane, including grass cutting in more than 2160 parks. This dataset contains the planned and completed grass cutting schedule for Council's parks. Council programs its grass-cutting schedule on a seasonal basis. The frequency of service increases in summer when grass grows faster; however, this can be disrupted by significant rainfall or periods of extended dry weather. In these events, services are rescheduled as soon as it is safe and practical to do so. In most cases, the frequency of service ranges from monthly in winter to fortnightly in summer. High-profile parks which attract higher rates of visitors and sports fields are serviced weekly in the peak of summer.
