FREE KITS FOR GRAFFITI REMOVAL

The Shire has a limited number of free graffiti removal kits available for residents affected by
graffiti.
Lisa Sheahan, the Shire’s Contract Co-ordinator Cleansing, said the trial program aims to help
residents remove graffiti, with the premise “the faster graffiti is removed, the greater the chance it
will not reoccur”.
“Free kits are available for residents affected by graffiti, and larger graffiti removal systems are
available for loan by Chambers of Commerce, nominated sporting clubs and
community groups,” said Lisa.
The Shire is also working with Mitre 10 in Sorrento, Blairgowrie and Frankston to
provide a system of vouchers available through the Customer Service for discounted
paint to rectify graffiti on private property.
“This graffiti removal project aims to empower the community and groups within the
Shire to take control of graffiti on their own property or the property of their
members.”
“The faster graffiti is removed, the greater the chance that it won’t happen again. It’s
hoped that the timely removal of graffiti will lead to the prevention of graffiti into the
future. The associated damage to other infrastructure and the prevention of other
issues such as  litter and vandalism may also result. Removal will also increase
community pride and empower the community to take notice of and report other
issues that affect their local area.”
