• 600 kilometres of bikeways.
• Central business districts (CBD).
• Cavill and Broadbeach Mall.

Events

The City Cleaning service actively supports many major events such as:

• Wintersun Festival
• Big Day Out
• Australian Surf Life Saving Carnival
• Gold Coast Marathon
• IndyCarnival
• Schoolies Festival
• New Year's Eve celebrations

The service meet regularly with organisers of major events to ensure adequate advice, service and support are provided throughout these events. This support includes additional and specialised cleaning before, during and after the events. Many of these events are televised around the world and it is of the utmost importance that the event precincts and surrounding areas are presented in pristine condition.

Beach cleaning

Council ensures public facilities and barbeques in our parks and foreshore areas are cleaned daily.

They usually removed about 31 tonnes of rubbish from our beaches every week, similar to the amount cleared from the city's beachfront and park rubbish bins.

Council’s City Cleaning has a Quality Certificate of Registration covering all facets of its operations as well as third party accreditation for its Environmental Management System.
