Greening & Urban Maintenance in Maitland

Over the past months, our teams have been hard at work maintaining and refreshing the Maitland area. These projects are aimed at improving the quality of the public environment for all who live, work and visit here.

Our focus has included:

Urban cleaning and maintenance – tackling illegal dumping, graffiti removal, gutter and drain cleaning, poster removal and high-pressure sanitising.

Greening initiatives – planting, landscaping and maintaining public spaces to create a more welcoming and environmentally friendly urban landscape.

Ongoing upgrades – responding to service requests, addressing problem areas, and ensuring that seasonal changes don’t compromise the safety or cleanliness of our streets.

In Maitland, recent projects have included large-scale deweeding and grass cutting, as well as gutter and drain cleaning to prevent blockages from winter rainfall. The team has also addressed illegal dumping and graffiti removal, ensuring public spaces remain safe and welcoming.

Together, these efforts lay the foundation for a brighter, cleaner and greener spring and summer season.
