Its Clean City Strategic Plan and Action Plan, which was developed to bridge the gap between the council’s investment and the community’s expectations, will focus on five key focus areas: Prevent illegal dumping; Clean and tidy town centres; Clean and tidy parks; Clean and tidy public toilets; and Healthy waterways.
Community Feedback also showed the depth of concern that the community has around an
‘unclean’ City and their wish for the council to take greater action.
The aim will be to direct investment in time, engagement, money and resources to better achieve the community’s wishes.
Mayor Khal Asfour said having a clean and green City had always been a priority for the council and the adoption of these plans was a major step in the right direction.
“This new model outlines practical steps on how the council will be able to provide a clean Canterbury Bankstown that our residents can be proud of,” Mayor Asfour said.
“This model will proactively use data to develop new initiatives, see the installation of new infrastructure, and the creation of new education and enforcement programs.
“A Clean City will not only help discourage anti-social behaviour like graffiti and vandalism, it encourages us all to feel safe and proud of our community, and to love where we live, work and play.”
