Upcoming review of streetscape and public open space maintenance
In May 2022 Councillors supported my motion that Council engage with the community to gain a comprehensive understanding of resident, community group and business expectations regarding streetscape and public open space maintenance.
Council will prepare a report including findings, draft service standards and service schedules, proposed scheduling and service levels, and associated timelines to deliver maintenance standards that more closely align with customer expectations by March 2023 which can then inform future service levels and allow input in time for the 2023/24 budget process.
In 2024 Council allocated an extra $2 million a year for parks and street maintenance, cycling and walking paths, urban tree canopy. Yay!
