Grants to combat graffiti

March 27, 2019 BY

COUNCILS can apply for a state government grant up to $30,000 to tackle graffiti vandalism.

Schools, sporting clubs, police, businesses and other community groups can partner with their local council to put themselves forward for the Graffiti Prevention Grants program.

Member for Wendouree, Juliana Addison said the program will help neighbourhoods to create solid graffiti management approaches.

“Illegal graffiti can have negative impacts on the look and feel of our great city,” she said. “These grants will support community-led projects that prevent graffiti vandalism, beautify spaces and improve perceptions of public safety.”

Applications close on Friday, 26 April. Visit crimeprevention.vic.gov.au/graffitigrants for more information.
