HACC Research: Service models for lawn mowing & garden maintenance
The HACC research project, ‘Service models for lawn mowing and garden
maintenance: Cumberland Prospect and Nepean Local Planning Areas’ was
contracted in June 2009 to the Blue Mountains Home Modification and Maintenance
Service by the NSW Department of Human Services: Ageing, Disability and Home
Care Metro North region.
The project was designed to address conditions specific to Western Sydney,
including geographical diversity and residential land use patterns which include
unlevel bush blocks in bush-fire prone areas and large semi-rural properties. In
addition, general issues which impact on the capacity of service providers to meet
the needs of the community, particularly increasing demand associated with an
ageing population and rising service delivery costs, were to be considered.
