Graffiti Management

The City of Holdfast Bay prides itself on being a premier travel, residential and commercial destination. Anything that takes away from the beauty of the area, such as graffiti, is of high concern to Council.

Council has a strong focus on the removal of graffiti and repair of vandalism and undertakes the following:

1. Provides graffiti removal kits for residents to assist in the removal of graffiti from private property including external-facing fences and buildings. These are available for collection from council offices.
2. Undertakes removal of graffiti on council property with offensive graffiti target of removal within 48 hours of being reported and non-offensive graffiti removed within 7 days.
3. Investigate vandalism on council property and make it safe within 48 hours and schedule repair based on the extent of the damage. If you notice graffiti or vandalism, please report it to Council via:

• Customer request
• email mail@holdfast.sa.gov.au
• phone on 82299999
