D.O.L.E. — Department Of Lawn Enforcement. Known locally as The Dole. No, you cannot claim it. No, it does not turn up fortnightly. It turns up when you ring.
Three details and we will come back with a figure, usually the same day. No obligation, and nobody will chase you.
Photos price a block faster than any form. Text a couple to 0478 910 970 and we can usually quote off those.
Paddock work. Tractor and slasher, Mount Crosby district.
Most of what we do is acreage. Long grass on a big block is not a cosmetic problem, it is a snake problem, a fire problem, and eventually a council problem.
Grass has taken a paddock and is holding it. The Department attends with a tractor and slasher and settles the matter, however tall it has got.
Remedy · SlashingVacant land, rentals between tenants, and blocks nobody has looked at since winter. No property has yet been declined.
Remedy · Full clean-upA letter has arrived from an actual council with actual powers. We remove the cause before they follow up.
Remedy · Hazard reductionOrdinary suburban lawns, kept in line on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly cycle. Smaller matters, handled the same way.
Remedy · MowingEdges have blurred. Fencelines, driveways and easements have quietly merged into one another.
Remedy · Edging & trimmingA hedge planted for privacy has developed ambitions. Shaped, thinned and returned to its original purpose.

Left a season too long. Still routine work.
Based at Mount Crosby, working the western corridor and out toward Ipswich. Acreage anywhere in the district.
Beyond these boundaries our authority is even less enforceable than it is within them. Call anyway. Arrangements can usually be made.
The Department runs zero-turn mowers and tractors. The zero-turns handle the open ground and get around trees, tanks and fencelines without leaving a strip behind. The tractors and slashers take the paddocks and anything that has got well away.
We are based at Mount Crosby, which is how the jurisdiction came to be drawn where it is. We quote the jobs ourselves, and we turn up on the day we said we would.
There is no head office and no call centre. You get the people who do the work.
4.(1) The Department does not issue fines. It issues invoices, which are considerably harder to appeal.
4.(2) In determining the penalty, the officer shall have regard to—
4.(3) A figure is provided before any work begins. You are free to ignore it entirely.
We answer when we can hear the phone over the slasher. If we can't, we call straight back.

No. The Department holds no statutory powers of any kind. It holds a slasher. The distinction is important and we are reminded of it often.
Departmental abbreviation. D.O.L.E. Any resemblance to a fortnightly payment from another department entirely is coincidental and, frankly, unhelpful. You cannot claim it, you cannot be breached by it, and it will not ask you to look for work. It cuts grass.
It is not. We checked twice. It is a mowing and slashing business operated through Northward Group Pty Ltd, ABN 18 701 489 401. The uniform is olive green because it hides grass stains, not because we are affiliated with anybody.
Acreage is the day job. Paddocks, house blocks, vacant land and easements are all routine. If a tractor and slasher can get onto it, it can be dealt with.
No property has yet been declined. Blocks untouched for a season are ordinary work. Where a matter needs slashing rather than mowing you will be told before it starts, not after.
No. Provided the officer can get onto the block and any gates are unlocked, attendance is not required. Tell us about dogs, gate codes, stumps or soft ground and we will work around it.
Yes, and genuinely so. Public liability cover is held for every job. This is one of the few claims on this page that would survive scrutiny.
Bank transfer on invoice, after the work is done. No deposit. The Department extends credit to all citizens, having no realistic means of enforcement.
The Department writes a few times a year and no more: before fire season, when the spring growth starts, and when the rain has done something unreasonable. If your block needs doing, we will say so before it gets away from you.
