The Ballito UIP Cleaning and Greening Team has been hard at work throughout February, ensuring the precinct remains well-maintained, safe, and welcoming for residents and visitors alike. This month\u2019s efforts focused heavily on weeding, vegetation clearing, infrastructure repairs, and general maintenance to keep Ballito looking its best.<\/p>\n

Below are 2 images of Wakenshaw gardens, illustrating how the palms, plants and lawn have matured in the past 18 months.<\/p>\n

Garden maintenance and litter control<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Weeding has been a primary focus, with significant progress made in ensuring the precinct\u2019s gardens and public spaces remain neat and well-kept. In addition, our team has worked tirelessly to keep public areas clean, using approximately 3,200 refuse bags throughout the month.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To maintain a clean and enjoyable environment for all, our dog waste bag dispensers along the Promenade continue to be stocked daily, helping to encourage responsible pet ownership.<\/p>\n

Vegetation clearing and infrastructure repairs<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The team has been busy with grass cutting, vegetation clearing, and removing palm fronds and debris across the precinct. These efforts play a crucial role in keeping Ballito\u2019s public spaces tidy and accessible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Road and paving repairs<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Our maintenance efforts in February included pothole repairs, with:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 17 minor potholes and six major potholes attended to across the precinct.<\/li>\n
  • Curbing repairs completed around two traffic circles.<\/li>\n
  • Paving repairs carried out at the M4 and P445 intersection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Stormwater drain and ablution facility maintenance<\/strong><\/h6>\n
      \n
    • A stormwater drain repair was completed on Compensation Beach Road, with another scheduled for later this month.<\/li>\n
    • Ablution facilities at Salmon Bay and Hawkins Parking received a fresh coat of paint, further enhancing these public amenities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      Ongoing commitment to maintenance and improvement<\/strong><\/h6>\n

      Our teams remain committed to continuous upkeep of the precinct, ensuring that Ballito remains a sought-after warm water destination on the North Coast. The work carried out this month reflects our dedication to cleanliness, safety, and infrastructure maintenance as we move into the year ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
