Street cleaning schedule
Keeping the precinct, streets, and footpaths clean and tidy isn't just about maintaining appearance, it is an important part in managing our impact on the environment.
Residential streets
Residential roads (local roads) are cleaned on a 6 week cycle. Streets can be cleaned on any day within the scheduled week. Weather and heavy leaf fall can sometimes impact these dates. We only clear debris from Council trees, not trees on private property. If you rake any leaves/debris up, please place them in your green bin.
