Removing graffiti is the responsibility of whoever owns the property that’s been vandalised.

We remove graffiti from Council-owned property as quickly as possible, especially when it’s racist, defamatory or offensive.

If you need to remove graffiti from your own property, you can try:

  • A free graffiti removal kit which you can pick up from Council; or
  • Household cleaning products such as dishwashing or laundry liquid, eucalyptus oil or mineral turpentine. Test on a small area first, and follow instructions on the label.

If you can’t remove graffiti yourself, we may be able to arrange for our volunteer community partners to help. This only applies where the graffiti can be reached and removed from public land.

Our current community partners include Dapto Rotary, Corrective Services, and The Flagstaff Group.

Please call us on (02) 4227 71111 for assistance.
