Autumn Street Sweeping 2024

Whitehorse City Council is well known for its tree lined streets and autumn is synonymous with falling leaves. Council's street sweepers will be out in force again this year sweeping leaves and other debris from the streets.

How you can help us

  • While we understand it’s a challenging time of year, we ask you to be patient and understanding when calling our customer service staff.
  • Once the sweeper drives by your property they do not turn around for you to move your vehicle, this allows us to keep to the schedule.
  • Residents are advised not to park their vehicles on the street, on the days their street is being swept to ensure sweeping is more effective.
  • The sweeping is to collect leaves and debris from Council's trees, not from private properties.
  • Do not rake or blow leaves onto the road after the sweeper has passed by.  Please wait until the next scheduled sweep.
  • Please do not place branches and rocks under leaves, this can damage the sweepers, causing downtime.
  • Please do not empty your green bins in front of the sweepers. This is a hazard causing sweepers to stop which may cause traffic issues.
