Graffiti Removal

 

As part of Lane Cove Council’s commitment to a sustainable community, we run an ongoing Village Graffiti Removal program to ensure that graffiti is minimised in the Town Centre.

Public Areas

Prompt reporting of graffiti vandalism leads to prompt graffiti removal, which in turn can reduce the likelihood of more graffiti vandalism.

If the graffiti is on Council property, please call the Council graffiti hotline on 9911 3555.

Private Property

If the graffiti is on private property, products and removal advice are available at hardware stores. The quicker graffiti is removed, the easier it is. The NSW Government website www.graffiti.nsw.gov.au has suggestions for removing graffiti from your property – with recommendations for removal from painted surfaces, bare or raw surfaces and from glass and synthetics. In addition to prevent Graffiti you may wish to consider using appropriate plants which cover areas to minimise the opportunity for Graffiti.
