Body corporates, retail strips and community grounds need a consistent schedule, a single point of contact, and the health and safety paperwork done properly — not just a bloke with a mower turning up when he can.
Tell us the street and we’ll give you a fixed price. Free, no obligation.
Different from a residential lawn, and not just in scale.
A body corporate or retail strip has more eyes on it than a private lawn does — residents, tenants, customers. A missed or inconsistent visit gets noticed and raised, so the schedule has to actually hold.
Facilities managers and committees need one person to raise issues with, not a rotating crew with no continuity. Reporting and communication matter as much as the mowing itself.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, overlapping businesses on a site have to consult, cooperate and coordinate. A site induction happens on the first visit, every time — it isn’t optional paperwork.
General information about overlapping duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act, not legal or compliance advice — see the note below.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, businesses whose work overlaps on the same site — a body corporate, its facilities manager, and a grounds contractor, for instance — are all separate PCBUs with duties to consult, cooperate and coordinate with each other. None of them can contract those duties away.
A contractor’s crew is treated as workers of the lead PCBU on that site for health and safety purposes. That means the site’s own duty of care extends to whoever’s mowing the grounds — it doesn’t stop at the property boundary just because a contractor’s doing the work.
WorkSafe has been explicit that cost-based procurement shouldn’t weaken health and safety standards. A quote that’s cheaper because it skips a site induction, doesn’t document hazards, or doesn’t carry proper insurance isn’t actually a saving — the liability the paperwork was meant to manage doesn’t disappear with the paperwork.
So a proper induction and documentation happen on every commercial site from the first visit, regardless of whether that makes the quote as competitive as one that skips it.
The paperwork happens once, properly, then the visits run on schedule.
We won’t skip the induction to come in cheaper. It happens on the first visit to every commercial site, every time — see the refusal note below.
Compact, coastal, and often more complex than they first look.
The Mount carries a mix of beachfront body corporates, retail strips and community grounds, most on compact sections with the same access constraints as residential properties — plus the coastal exposure that shapes what actually grows and holds up out there.
Compact, access-constrained sites are common here, the same as residential properties on the peninsula — equipment and scheduling are planned around that from the site walk, not discovered on the first visit.
This page provides general information about duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, not legal or compliance advice. For site-specific obligations, consult WorkSafe or a health and safety advisor.
Fixed once we’ve looked. Green waste is in it and GST is already included.
| Small body corporate / retail frontage | Single area, regular schedule | Quoted after site visit |
|---|---|---|
| Community or sports grounds | Multiple areas, coordinated scope | Quoted after site visit |
| Multi-site contracts | Several properties, one point of contact | Quoted |
| One-off tidy or catch-up | Before a regular contract starts | Quoted |
Every commercial quote follows a site visit — there’s enough variation between a small retail frontage and a multi-building body corporate that a fixed table wouldn’t be honest about what either actually costs.
The same seasonal growth pattern as residential lawns, delivered to a fixed commercial standard.
The schedule moves with the season the same way a residential lawn’s does. What doesn’t move is the standard — a committee or facilities manager can rely on the same result at every visit, summer or winter.
Switched after our last contractor turned up when they felt like it and never once mentioned an induction. Different experience entirely — site walk on day one, same schedule every time since, and I’ve got one person to call if anything comes up.
Mostly about the job rather than about us, which is how it should be.
Always after a site visit — commercial sites vary too much in area, access and complexity for a fixed table to be honest. We’ll walk the site, confirm scope, and quote a schedule that suits it.
Yes — one person accountable for your site, rather than a rotating crew with no continuity between visits.
A site walk and induction, identifying hazards and confirming site-specific requirements, before any mowing or maintenance starts. This is standard on every commercial site, not an optional extra.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, a contractor’s crew is treated as workers of the lead business on site, and duties to consult, cooperate and coordinate can’t be contracted away. Skipping the induction doesn’t remove that duty — it just means it isn’t being met.
Set to suit how your site’s run — monthly, per visit, or aligned to a body corporate’s own accounting cycle. Tell us what works and we’ll match it.
Yes — multi-site contracts run through the same single point of contact, with consistent standards and reporting across every property.
Yes, fully insured, and operating as the PCBU that commercial site obligations require — this is a standing requirement of taking on commercial work, not something arranged case by case.
Yes — a one-off catch-up or tidy is a reasonable way to see the standard before agreeing to an ongoing schedule.
Most people add one or two of these, since we’re already on the property.
