Graffiti

The Shire of Kalamunda does not provide a graffiti removal service for private property; however the Shire does support graffiti removal initiatives such as:

General Graffiti
On Shire property, general tags are cleaned weekly, while offensive graffiti is either cleaned immediately or the next day.

Cleaning Graffiti on Private Property
The Shire has a free graffiti-removal kit which works on brick, render or cement surfaces and removes paint and permanent marker pen. A refundable $50 deposit is required to use the kit. The kit contains everything you will need.  Just paint on the mild solvent-based liquid then wash off with water. To obtain a kit or for more information please contact the Building Maintenance Customer Service Officer on 0406 212 400.

Forrestfield/High Wycombe Lions Club Anti-Graffiti Trailer
The Forrestfield/High Wycombe Lions Club  provides a graffiti removal service for private property owners in the foothills area. Owners of the property must sign permission slips before the graffiti is removed. Contact the Forrestfield/High Wycombe Lions Club on 0406 212 400.

Adopt a Bus Shelter Programme
Schools and local non-profit community groups across the Shire are encouraged to adopt a bus shelter and to create artwork on the shelter.  This is an opportunity for groups to identify themselves in the community through the artwork on the shelters.

In some cases Council may provide paint up to the value of $400 for approved projects.

The following general guidelines are applicable:

• The bus shelters should are not to be used for the purpose of direct advertising.
• Participants in the programme are encouraged to maintain the adopted shelter and tidy up the artwork should it be defaced.  In most cases the better the quality of the artwork the more likely it is left alone.

Groups who have participated so far: Youth Action Kalamunda Inc., Girl Guides, Cubs, CWA, New Generation Artists, St Bridges Primary & College, Mary’s Mount Primary, Edney Road Primary and more.

Please contact the Arts and Cultural Development Officer on 9257 9315 for further information about the Adopt a Bus Shelter Program.

Council encourages the reporting of acts of vandalism by offering a $200 reward.
