Open Spaces Management and Maintenance Services Region 2

Parks and gardens within the City of Melbourne are internationally renowned for their diversity, history, and horticultural excellence. The City of Melbourne seeks the provision of Open Space Management and Maintenance Services for all park, garden, and open space assets included within Region 2.

Region 2 comprises the larger parks to the north of the CBD including Royal Park and Princes Park and also parks and gardens in Docklands.

The major focus for works in Region 2 is the provision of high-standard maintenance in the Docklands and maintenance for sports grounds, nature parklands (in particular Royal Park), and extensive shrub and perennial beds. A high proportion of Region 2 consists of lawns, nature strips, medians, and boulevards which require holistic maintenance including weed control, irrigation, fertilizing, and routine mowing. Region 2 has a significant reclaimed water system at the Royal Park Wetlands which supplies water to the Royal Park Golf course, Royal Park playing fields, and the Royal Parade elm boulevard.

Maintenance of parks and gardens must ensure service levels are maintained in line with community expectations.
Service tasks required are Management, Horticulture, Infrastructure, Cleansing, and Waste and Water Management.
