improvement. Streetscape issues included the need for more street<br />

trees and improving the appearance <strong>of</strong> road verges.<br />

Front gardens and verges were also nominated as one <strong>of</strong> the most<br />

important elements in protecting or developing the character <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Local</strong> <strong>Area</strong>. Whilst the <strong>City</strong> provides for and maintains medians<br />

through its Streetscape Upgrade Program and verges to some<br />

extent through its ongoing Street Tree Maintenance Program,<br />

verges and front gardens are otherwise the responsibilities <strong>of</strong> local<br />

residents. The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Stirling</strong> supports more sustainable and<br />

attractive verges and front gardens through the Great Gardens<br />

workshops that are provided free <strong>of</strong> charge each year. These<br />

provide an excellent opportunity for residents to learn more about<br />

native planting and waterwise gardens, creating the potential to<br />

create enduringly attractive streetscapes and the opportunity for<br />

residents to contribute to developing the <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Area</strong>’s character.<br />
