Up to 50 Randwick City Council staff will descend on the intersection of Clovelly and Carrington Roads next week to deliver an intensive one-day program of cleaning, maintenance and upgrades.

The effort – scheduled for Wednesday 3 July 2024 – is the third in a series of ‘Blitz Crew’ operations by staff from across Council’s departments, after Randwick and Malabar town centres both received a dose of the special treatment over the past several months.

Randwick Mayor Philipa Veitch said that the crew’s activities complement the regular cleaning and maintenance works performed by Council workers across Randwick City every day.

“By coordinating and concentrating our efforts on one target area at a time, Council is adding value to its daily, city-wide maintenance operations.

“Daily maintenance will always be our core business, but the coordinated and methodical nature of the Blitz crew delivers quick results and progress on priority projects.

"Our staff engage with local businesses ahead of the day to help identify priorities. Our experience so far is that the crew’s public domain improvements provide an instant boost to the local community.”

July’s ‘Blitz crew’ location has been chosen to support other recent Council works in the area including the creation of the Clovelly Road Pocket Park and footpath works near Crust Pizza.

In a single day, workers will complete a range of works, restoring broken pavers, replacing old or damaged street signs, sweeping and water-blasting pavements, removing and replacing diseased or dying trees, landscaping, and other works.

Kerbside parking in the area will be reduced for the duration of the work, and measures taken to mitigate risks of noise, dust or erosion from the crew’s activities.

“We apologise for any inconvenience experienced while our staff conduct these improvements. We really appreciate the community’s patience and understanding,” Mayor Veitch said.

If residents or business operators have any questions related to the works, they should contact Council on 1300 722 542 or on council@randwick.nsw.gov.au.
