Northern Beaches Council will increase the cleaning frequency of public beach amenities across the region effective immediately.

Northern Beaches CEO Ray Brownlee said this is a result of a spike in complaints over the New Year period at our beach amenities.

“We are always open to feedback from the community about the service we provide and recently we’ve been have told the standards of our public amenities have not been adequate over the holiday period.

“We are working with our existing contractors to increase services immediately to address the problem.

“At present, cleaning of our amenities occurs across the region 24 hours a day; however, the frequency will increase over the school holidays especially and continue till the end of summer.” Mr Brownlee said.

Council will continue to monitor the standards at all locations to ensure consistent high levels are met.

Members of the public are encourage to contact Council on 1300 434 434 immediately to report an incident at a public amenity.
