Cleaning blitz on Inner West main streets

Inner West Council will commence a new ‘Street Blitz’ program to provide intensive maintenance and street cleaning of main streets across the Inner West.

The new Main Street Blitz program will see Council deploy up to 50 staff on a single day to repair, upgrade and intensively clean main streets

The one-day blitz will start in Balmain on Thursday 26 June and include high pressure cleaning of footpaths, graffiti removal, tree pruning, and deep cleaning of street furniture and footpaths.

Council will expand the program to main streets across all five Inner West wards.

The program will include:

  • High pressure cleaning of footpaths
  • Hand cleaning of furniture and removal of posters
  • Maintenance and painting of street furniture
  • Graffiti removal
  • Replacement of all street and traffic signs
  • Street tree and ornamental garden replanting
  • Street tree pruning
  • Mulching and weeding of garden beds

We understand the importance of creating clean and welcoming spaces where locals can come together to enjoy their neighbourhood, whilst also supporting local businesses.

We have seen a similar maintenance and cleaning program work successfully in other local government areas, so we are keen to get started here in the Inner West.

If you have a streetscape related issue, please contact Council through our online request management system:
