The personal information on this form is collected by the City of Melbourne for the purposes of administration of this Greening Melbourne permit application, and information provided will be kept for record keeping and audit purposes. The applicant is asked to report any change of primary contact or significant changes in the operation of approved Melbourne Greening permits to the City of Melbourne as soon as possible. City of Melbourne collects and retains personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act.
The applicant must ensure the safe removal of the green infrastructure when it’s no longer in use, or if the Greening Melbourne permit is cancelled by the City of Melbourne. If elements of the green infrastructure are clearly left unattended, or if the presentation is visibly unacceptable for an extended period of time, the City of Melbourne may remove the green infrastructure and vegetation, following at least two attempts to contact the primary permit holder. City of Melbourne retains the right to cancel a Greening Melbourne permit, or relocate the permitted green infrastructure, if the designated site is later required for use by the City of Melbourne or for other approved community purposes.
Permit holders are responsible for their own safety while working on the permitted green infrastructure and should be mindful of potential risks. Consideration should be given to basic safety precautions: wearing appropriate clothing, using tools safely, careful handling of materials, and using soil- and sun-smart practices.

The permit holder acknowledges and agrees that the City of Melbourne is not liable for any loss or damage to any crops, plants or food grown or planted or structures situated on the site (including, for example, theft, willful damage or vandalism).
