Consultation has concluded

At the Ordinary Council Meeting of 23 August 2022, Council approved an amended Graffiti Control and Removal Policy for the purpose of community consultation.

We want to hear your feedback on the proposed Graffiti Management Policy.

Your feedback will help shape the provisions in the policy, around the scope of the City’s graffiti removal service and associated graffiti management strategies.


What are we doing?

Graffiti vandalism has a significant financial and social impact on the community and can negatively impact perceptions of crime and safety.

Well-maintained spaces and places can discourage vandalism and associated anti-social behaviour, and forms a vital part of a whole-of-community approach to managing graffiti whilst maintaining legitimate avenues for the expression and dissemination of community information and urban art.


How will we do it?

The draft amended policy also aims to align with the State Graffiti Vandalism Strategy and Graffiti Vandalism Act 2016 which have created new priorities, offences and penalties since the City’s policy was last reviewed.


Objectives

The proposed objectives of the revised policy are to:

  1. Define the scope of the City’s graffiti removal service;
  2. Reduce the incidence and visibility of graffiti vandalism within the City;
  3. Deter acts of graffiti vandalism and damage on City of Vincent assets, infrastructure and property; and
  4. Encourage a whole-of-community approach to the reporting, removal and prevention of graffiti vandalism.


Next steps

Following the consultation period, we will review and consider all submissions received and present all information to Council. Those who have provided feedback will be notified of the Council meeting date prior to the policy being considered.
