Laura Geoghegan @laurageo.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Fun little drain garden outside Coburg Leisure Centre - I see drain gardens being taken out a lot now - without regular specialized maintenance they don't work as intended. Often the maintenance requirements weren't understood at install and are too much for the owners. 041

Laura Geoghegan @laurageo.bsky.social · 12/05/2025City of Melbourne posting this at the same time as the announcement no Greenline is amusing (for sad policy people like me). Seems like the finger is being pointed pretty hard at the State Govt. 000
Laura Geoghegan @laurageo.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Very disappointed at the news in Melbourne with no additional funding for Greenline. Yes it was an expensive project, but transformative urban projects that retrofit nature into badly designed concrete public space are expensive. Being costly doesn't mean not worthwhile 1244
