(16)   Planting Techniques –Preparation of Garden Beds for Public Land, Road Reserves and Parks.
       (a)   Careful preparation of garden areas prior to planting is essential to successful growth of plants, particularly where planting
             areas are adjacent to road or building construction works.
       (b)   The following points should be observed:
             (i)     Soil used is to comply with the Australian Standard (AS 4410) ­ Soil for Landscaping and Gardens;
             (ii)    Soil imported to garden beds should have similar soil structure to that existing in the area;
             (iii)   Remove all weeds, debris, rubbish, grass, etc. from areas to be planted;
             (iv)    In conjunction with roadwork, remove all bitumen and road base from areas to be planted to a depth of 600
                     millimetres from top of kerb. Refer to Figure SC6.3.1 below.

Figure 6.3.1




               (c)    Add topsoil (preferably local soil) as required, form garden beds and spread any stockpiled topsoil to finished
                      levels;
               (d)    Any imported topsoil to be free of large stones, weeds, sticks, rubbish, material toxic to plant growth, Nut Grass and
                      Oxalis, and declared pests such as fire ants;
               (e)    Beds adjacent to hard areas to finish 100 millimetres below paved level or top of kerb to allow for depth of mulch;
               (f)    Garden beds should be left for one month prior to planting to allow the treatment of weeds contained in the soil and
                      to allow for regeneration of natural seeds;
               (g)    When constructing mounding or banks, highly compacted fill material in the top 600 millimetres should be avoided
                      as this can impede root penetration and the successful growth of plants; and
               (h)    Maintain maximum fall of 1:3 to ensure stability of mulch on slopes and allow for access for maintenance. Refer to
                      Figure SC6.3.2.
