Yes, you are right, this is a FnG, not GnG, the maintenance shall be handled by the MPKJ and residents are not paying to maintain it.. Yes, putting the waterway inside the fenced area should be able to reduce the chances people throw rubbish in it, but if inside the fenced area, MPKJ must come over frequently to do the maintenance, such as collect the leaves, dry twig from the tree etc.. Otherwise it will be a problem and eyesore and worse is inside the fencing area. Since now SEH going to make a linear garden at the waterway as well (presumably some garbage bin are provided), hopefully there will be less irresponsible people to throw the rubbish into the lake thereafter.
Talking about this, so is that mean the linear park inside the fenced area supposed to be stay as it is, RA cannot spend money to beautify or maintain it as it is public amenities belong to MPKJ right?
If really so, hopefully MPKJ can come to cut the grass and do maintenance often, otherwise it can be a problem as well...
Anyway, any idea how long it takes for transferring the public amenities to MPKJ upon VP? As stated in the SPA, the purchaser need to pay 6 months upfront maintenance fees to developer upon VP, so that developer can provide the services such as refuse disposal, drain cleaning, cutting grasses, etc before handling over to authority. If the waterway is inside fencing area, this upfront maintenance fee I suppose shall be abit higher as well, but of course it is not for long term.
Based on PalmWalk also a F&G, Bandar Sungai Long experience, MPKJ cut grass every two to three weeks for our linear garden as well as grass in front of the house.
I think no problem in beautifying the linear garden as our KPT (RA equivalent) recently planted 40+ palm trees and consistently replace the damaged playground. However to add something extra MPKJ's approval is required.
