Graffiti and Syringes
Graffiti Removal
Graffiti can be defined as the process of defacing property, often with explicit and offensive material. Graffiti is the end result of this process.
In simple terms, graffiti destroys the appearance of property and buildings. In particular, buildings of both private and public ownership may have much of their charm and character marred by such defacement.
Socially, the presence of graffiti may generate considerable concern from the community. A perceived lack of control in an area and a feeling of fear in both residents and visitors may be likely outcomes.
The unchecked sprawl of graffiti has the potential to seriously undermine the attractiveness of the City. Council removes graffiti from Council assets and we encourage owners to remove graffiti from their property.
