Before you start
We inspect hot spots every day and aim to remove new graffiti in 24 hours, or when consent is obtained.
The broader local area is inspected every 5 days. Again, the aim is to remove graffiti once it’s found within 24 hours.
Other information
We aim to minimise incidents of graffiti on public and private property by prompt removal, while providing legitimate avenues for the expression of community information and art.
For more information about our response in the local area, please read our graffiti management policy.
