Cleaning blitz on Inner West main streets

06 March 2026
Announcement
Inner West Council has commenced a 'Street Blitz' program to provide intensive maintenance and street cleaning of main streets across the Inner West.

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

The one-day blitz is now coming to Enmore Road and King Street in Newtown on Thursday 12 March 2026 and will include high pressure cleaning of footpaths, graffiti removal, tree pruning, and deep cleaning of street furniture.

Council has rolled out the blitz program on Darling Street, Balmain and main streets in Ashfield and Leichhardt so far. We will continue to expand this program to all main streets across the Inner West.

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.
