New graffiti trailer available for bookings

Published on 03 September 2024

Community groups, trader groups and businesses impacted by graffiti can now book our new Community Graffiti Removal Unit for free, to help with removal of paint and tags from private property.

Council has upgraded the popular trailer to better assist community groups to tackle graffiti removal from a range of surfaces. The unit also includes supplies, such as graffiti removal chemicals, a pressure washer and other handy tools to help remove graffiti.

Yarra Ranges Mayor, Cr Sophie Todorov, said the trailer would help make removing graffiti easier and quicker for the community.

“We know that tags and graffiti are a huge pain for a lot of businesses, and can be difficult to remove without expensive equipment,” she said.

“We also know that leaving graffiti and tags encourages other people to vandalise property, leading to more graffiti and more damage, which makes our neighbourhoods look less friendly.

“Our teams work hard to remove graffiti from public property, but there’s a lot of graffiti that we can’t manage on private properties.

“Fortunately, this trailer is bookable for free and stocked with everything needed to remove large and difficult graffiti from wood, brick, concrete and just about any surface you can think of.

“We’ve had extremely positive feedback on our original, smaller graffiti trailer and wheelie bins stocked with materials. The wheelie bins are still available from our Community Links, and this larger trailer will be useful for those wanting to remedy vandalism on their property.”

Council encourages community members to also report vandalism and graffiti on their own property to the Police Assistance Line on 131 444 or online via onlinereporting.police.vic.gov.au
