Leichhardt Council is committed to managing graffiti. In 2010 Council adopted a
Graffiti Management Policy (PDF 530.2KB). Maintaining our streetscapes is a priority so we can all enjoy a locality that is cared for, and feels safe for all who work, live and visit it.
A major focus of the policy is to understanding the best practice methods for graffiti management with planning, design, protection and removal. Council provides the following:
- Removal of graffiti as part of regular infrastructure services, with a focus on highly visible and highly tagged spaces.
- Free graffiti removal kits to residents to remove graffiti from private premises.
- Advice to residents on how to reduce the likelihood of graffiti incidences on their property.
- Community and cultural development programs aimed at minimising the potential for graffiti to occur, while enhancing public space through art programs.
