Street sweeping


The ACT Government conducts a comprehensive street sweeping program to remove leaves and debris from kerbs and gutters along our road network.

We aim to give every street in Canberra at least 2 full sweeps each year.

For information about upcoming street sweeping please refer to the weekly maintenance update which is published every Friday.
