solution in reducing graffiti with its free graffiti removal kits.
Available from all Central Coast libraries and Wyong and Gosford Customer Service Centres, the kits provide residents with the chemicals and equipment needed to remove graffiti from their own property or, with permission, the properties of friends and neighbours.
The council’s Director Connected Communities, Julie Vaughan, said while Council staff removed graffiti from its own assets, it was also important to help private property owners combat the problem.
“We know that removing graffiti quickly is one of the most effective ways to tackle graffiti vandalism,” Ms Vaughan said.
“Rapid removal is a proven strategy to discourage graffiti vandals and it’s also a lot easier to remove if it’s tackled as soon as possible.”
Two different kits are available. One kit contains the chemicals used to remove graffiti from masonry, while the second is suitable for use on painted surfaces.
Both kits also contain instructions, safety information and equipment such as gloves and goggles.
To collect a kit, residents must be aged over 18 and show proof of their address. Visit
