Love Sydney Road

29 Jul 2024

Love Sydney Road is a program to clean up and beautify an iconic part of Merri-bek - the Sydney Road shopping strip from Brunswick Road, Brunswick to Bell Street, Coburg, so it’s a great place for people to live, work, visit and enjoy.

The community told us this section of Sydney Road needed some love and we’ve listened.

Through Love Sydney Road, we are:

  • Street cleaning daily from Monday to Friday in the 4-kilometre Sydney Road shopping strip and in public spaces in Victoria Street Mall, Dunnes Lane and Page Street, Coburg and Brunswick Mechanics Institute and Sparta Place, Brunswick.
  • Removing graffiti from public infrastructure and buildings.
  • Supporting local traders through help with shopfront improvements and more.
  • Creating 2 new murals expanding Council’s RenuWall public art program to beautify public spaces. This adds to the 3 new murals created along Sydney Road that were completed in July 2024.

All while continuing our daily street sweeping, and our rubbish collection services.

Love Sydney Road has been developed to support local traders and community by continuing to improve the amenity of the area, and responds to community priorities highlighted through Council’s Community Budget Ideas program.

It is one of a range of initiatives along with A Park Close to Home and the RenuWall public art project Council is delivering to support businesses and make it a great place for everyone in the community.
