City expands free support to help residents tackle graffiti

Wednesday, 12th August 2026

The City has officially launched its new and improved graffiti kits, giving residents another way to take action against graffiti in their neighbourhoods.

Available to private property and business owners, the kits are designed to help remove graffiti from fences, walls and shopfronts visible to the public.

Each kit contains cleaning liquid, safety glasses and gloves, a scrubbing brush, a cleaning cloth and instructions for use. 

The products have been tested on a range of surfaces and are formulated to remove spray paint, texta and felt pen markings.

Residents can collect a kit from the City's Customer Service Centres at Wurriki Nyal, Corio Village Shopping Centre and Drysdale. Proof of identity and address is required, and a waiver must be signed upon collection.

The reintroduction of the kits expands the support available to property owners and forms part of the City's ongoing commitment to maintaining clean, safe and welcoming public spaces.

This commitment is reflected in the City’s strong performance in graffiti management, with 96.6 per cent of graffiti requests on council-managed assets responded to within the target timeframes.

The kits complement the City’s existing paint voucher program, which provides residents with a four-litre tin of colour-matched paint, a roller brush, a tray, and a drop sheet to assist owners with graffiti on painted external surfaces.

Greater Geelong Mayor Stretch Kontelj OAM:

We know that discovering graffiti on your home or business can be frustrating, which is why we're pleased to provide residents with practical and accessible tools to help remove it quickly.

These kits provide a free and convenient solution for residents and business owners, making it easier to remove graffiti and restore the appearance of their property.

Chair of the Safety, Graffiti & Regulation portfolio, Councillor Chris Burson:

Graffiti is most effectively managed when it is reported and removed quickly, which is why the City takes a coordinated approach that combines responsive removal with practical support for residents and businesses.

The Graffiti Kits form part of a broader range of initiatives that help property owners take action, while supporting our efforts to maintain clean, safe and welcoming neighbourhoods across the region.

Timely reporting helps the City respond to graffiti quickly and effectively. Residents can report graffiti by:
