Graffiti

The Shire has a number of actions in place to address graffiti vandalism in our Shire, but crime prevention is everyone’s business and we all have a role to play.  The Shire supports everyone to feel proud of their neighbourhood, and relies on your help to report and remove graffiti.  Please report any instances of graffiti.

Graffiti on your property

Always endeavour to remove graffiti as quickly as possible. The prompt removal of graffiti helps defeat vandals as it diminishes the level of recognition and reward achieved by these offenders.

It is a good idea to take a photo of the graffiti vandalism for your records and police records - this will also assist if you have to lodge an insurance claim.

To report graffiti on your property, visit Goodbye Graffiti.

Designing out graffiti

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles are applied with graffiti reduction and prevention in mind.  The WA Police Force Graffiti Team has developed an information resource for community members and asset owners on how to apply these principles to Design out Graffiti.  Click here to download the Designing out Graffiti booklet.

The Graffiti Team have also developed a series of information guides on specific aspects of Designing out Graffiti.  Click here to download the guides.
