What matters for landscaping & gardening in Geelong

  • Geelong is drier than most of coastal Victoria. The Bureau station at Breakwater records a mean annual rainfall of 510.3 mm with rain on 145.3 days a year, and an average of only 0.7 days a year at or below zero, so hard frost is rare but not unknown.

  • Under section 148 of the Water Act 1989 you need the water corporation's written consent before building, excavating or landscaping over an easement or close to its water or sewer assets. That catches sheds, tanks, pergolas, decks and fences, and unapproved structures can be ordered out.

  • Victoria has five internal biosecurity zones that restrict what you can move within the state: phylloxera, potato cyst nematode, the Toolangi Plant Protection District, green snail and tomato yellow leaf curl virus. They catch grapevines, potatoes, nursery plants, soil and the equipment that touched them.

  • There are six Phylloxera Infested Zones in Victoria and two Phylloxera Exclusion Zones, Western Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula. If you own grapevines, even potted ones, you cannot move them or vineyard soil between zones without a permit, and Agriculture Victoria has an address lookup so you can check a property before moving day.
