Work is underway on a $607,400 upgrade of Greenacre
Town Centre, expected to be completed in September. The
improvements will take place along Waterloo Road, from Macquarie
Street to the Citizens’ Centre car park and include:
• Replacement of the existing kerb and gutter;
• Construction of a new footpath;
• Construction of a rain garden and garden beds; and
• Installation of street furniture.
This project follows the recent completion of similar work at
Panania (Stage 2, $1.64 million), Chester Hill ($2 million), Mount
Lewis ($240,000) and Padstow ($260,000).
Greenacre is one of the most vibrant places in our City, and now its
community is coming together to help keep it litter-free.
A number of Greenacre business and community leaders have
signed up to become champions of Council’s new education
campaign, ‘Locals Like Greenacre Litter Free’. The campaign
is aimed at attacking Greenacre’s litter problem and uniting the
community to take pride in their suburb. Some of the changes that
are being introduced include:
• Installation of 12 new bins in Waterloo Road featuring posters
of the local champions;
• Dedicated cleaning staff who pick-up litter up to 3 times a day;
and
• Continuation of regular street cleaning with Waterloo Road
swept twice a day.
