Residents will be pleased to see work start on a deep-clean of Airlie Beach main street next week, polishing the pavements to bring a shine back to the faded streetscape.
A $20 million main street upgrade transformed Airlie Beach into the modern family-friendly village back in 2013 and understandably over the years general wear and tear has created a need for a refresh.
Councillor Jan Clifford said that the grey tiles that line the street are very porous, soaking up everything from kebab stains to ingrained dirt and she is looking forward to seeing a sturdier sealant placed on them.
“Council is trying to fix a historical problem,” she said.
“We have engaged a contractor to deep clean and the re-seal the street and I am really looking forward to it.”
Most mornings at about 5am the street scrubber attends to the street and removes litter and surface grime with ease. This hasn’t, however, prevented more ingrained dirt from causing stains which have been impossible to remove until now.
“Once the deep clean and re-sealing has taken place, this will make it a lot easier for our street scrubber,” said Cr Clifford.
“Work was postponed until after Australia Day and the school holidays so not to disrupt unnecessarily, but now we are ready to go!”
