Graffiti is evident throughout Australia regardless of the social, economic or cultural status of the community. Graffiti is vandalism, and just like replacing a broken window, removing graffiti is part of the maintenance of our properties. Penrith Council acknowledges that many people across our City are actively assisting in the removal of graffiti in their neighbourhood. One of the most effective strategies against illegal graffiti is to remove it and continue to remove it. This strategy improves the appearance of the neighbourhood and gives a strong indication that the area is cared for and well maintained.
Prompt removal deprives illegal graffitists of the satisfaction of peer recognition.
Council encourages you to become a partner in the rapid removal of graffiti from your property and hopes that this information will assist your efforts.
