Happy April Fool’s Day everyone! It’s been fun, but these goats will of course not replace our Esplanade maintenance crew. Did we fool you?

Council has commenced a trial using a herd of goats to maintain the lawns in the Esplanade precinct.

It is hoped the grass-chomping animals will completely remove the need for petrol-based lawn maintenance equipment, offering a more sustainable alternative.

April Furst, the coordinator of the Animal Lawn Maintenance Crew, says goats aren’t just better at dealing with grass than traditional lawn mowers; they are the greatest of all time.

If successful, the trial will be extended to other green spaces throughout the city.

Residents are advised to keep their distance as the animals can be a bit temperamental.
