Hi everyone,
Would like to let you know our neighbour found a tiger snake in there backyard this week. They are not right next door to the golf course either & have a neat & tidy garden so it was quite a shock & having young children and a dog even more frightening. Our street does still have a few vacant blocks on it with over knee high length grass on them. All block owners have a legal responsibility to maintain their properties (occupied or not). If you are concerned about any vacant blocks near you please call the Council on 9705 5200 or Land Sales Office on 9785 9691. Both were extremely helpful when I phoned. One of the owners organised there block to be mowed the very next day (which was most appreciated) 2 Tiger Snakes were found & one Black snake. If you have kids & dogs please be especially vigilant its not even summer yet & they are clearly not just living on the golf course!
