Cr Walter, angry on account of the messy, overgrown state of centre medians and edging around major VicRoads roads, is calling on the state government to clean up its act.

"Frankly, it's a joke and I've had enough," Cr Walter said. "I can see a bit of mowing has been going on in some parts but that's just throwing grass around all over the road."

The Friberg Ward councillor called for immediate action from the government and VicRoads to spruce up unsightly median strips.

He said they also posed health and safety risks for motorists and pedestrians. "I'm not impressed by even what has been done. Council is doing its bit and the state government needs to lift its act."

Cr Walter called for all concerned residents to keep the pressure on the government and VicRoads, which is responsible for maintaining the strips.
