We're committed to providing a clean and safe environment for our community.
You can report graffiti on private or public property to the police. It will then be removed by trained volunteers. Rapid removal is proven to reduce the likelihood of graffiti reoccurring.
Graffiti is classified as damage to public property. If you witness graffiti vandalism occurring, ring the police immediately on 131 444.
Together, we can work to achieve the goal of a clean city.
Graffiti removal
If you find graffiti on your property, the first step is to report it as property damage to the local police by calling 131 444.
Afterwards, submit a request through our online Customer Portal to report the graffiti to the Council. You’ll need to provide details such as the size, colour, and type of surface affected.
Our trained volunteers remove graffiti throughout the City of Charles Sturt using various methods, such as painting over it, cleaning it with proven substances, or using high-pressure water sprays.
- Offensive graffiti is removed within 2 working days.
- Non-offensive graffiti is removed within 5 working days.
Please note: Commercial property owners are encouraged to make their own arrangements for graffiti removal.
Can I do it myself?
Yes. We have a self-help scheme for graffiti removal. You can access vouchers for free paint from the Civic Centre or any of our libraries. The vouchers gives you up to two litres of paint to cover graffiti on your property.
Submit through our Customer Portal.
What if it's not my property?
As Council, we're responsible for removal of graffiti from all Council-owned property. This includes parks, bus shelters and street signs.
If you see graffiti in a public space or somebody else's private residence, please submit through our Customer Portal.
Volunteers
We rely on the contribution of our volunteers to keep the city clean. Volunteers are fully trained in the use of removal equipment and substances.
