Projects and programs

The Love Your Place program is a free community partnership with the City of Canada Bay and local the local community. The program encourages community groups, residents, local businesses and schools to get involved in the preservation and enhancement of our many great parks, open spaces, streets, foreshore and playgrounds. Bring your friends, family, neighbours and colleagues together to increase pride and cleanliness in your neighbourhood. City of Canada Bay will provide the materials and support needed to complete your clean-up activities.

As a Love Your Place partner, you will:

• Act as ambassadors at your nominated site
• Host a minimum of two community clean-up days a year
• Report illegal dumping, graffiti, damaged facilities and anti-social behaviour at the nominated site
• Regularly visit your nominated site to monitor its upkeep and report maintenance requirements to Council.

In return, to keep your nominated place clean and green, Council will provide you with:

• Clean-up kit with first aid kit, trash pickers, gloves, rubbish bags and hi-vis vest
• Educational material such as display posters, pamphlets and dog poo bags 
• Support and promotion of mini events
• Commitment to Work Health and Safety.

Get involved:

The first step is to nominate a site you and your group would like to adopt. Then submit an application form to Council and the Sustainability Projects Officer will contact you to meet and discuss your application. Once approved, your clean-up kit will be sent to you!
