Last week Strathfield Council hosted a Litter Enforcement workshop with another Metro Council to learn how we can better keep Our Streets Clean.
Did you know littering is a $250 on the spot fine? You can also report littering from vehicles to the EPA.
Do the Right thing and place your litter in the bin to help keep our Suburbs clean.
Strathfield was an important location for war efforts in Sydney, with many servicemen enlisting here, and Strathfield Rail Station the site of many departures and arrivals during both the first and second World Wars.
The Australian Army used Strathfield Park as a military training area during World War II. Freshwater Park was used as an anti-aircraft searchlight station, with service personnel accommodated in a private home in Myee Avenue Strathfield. On occasion, the Strathfield Town Hall was used to billet soldiers.
