New CBD cleansing program kicks off

Campbelltown’s major central business districts will benefit from a new cleansing program to improve their everyday aesthetic and cleanliness.

As part of the $350,000 investment, extra staff will be sweeping roads, collecting litter, cleaning assets and infrastructure and improved weed control and landscape maintenance in the Campbelltown and Ingleburn CBDs.

Council recently purchased a new hot water pressure cleaner and is seeking to employ additional staff as part of the program.

“It is important that our public spaces reflect the pride that residents have in our city and leave a good impression on people visiting our city,” Mayor George Greiss said.

 “Our CBDs are some of the busiest places in Campbelltown so this new investment will help to ensure they are cleaner and more presentable,” Cr Greiss said.

The initiative is part of a wider $2.4 million City Amenity and Appeal Program that will also see the acceleration of new shade sails projects at local parks, facility improvements at leisure and childcare centres and investment to improve public space assets.

“I look forward to seeing the presentation of our public spaces enhanced over the coming months as this investment begins to flourish and further improvements to our public domain get underway,” Cr Greiss said.
