I AM PLEASED TO RESPOND TO THE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS CONTAINED IN REPORT NUMBER NINE OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT.

THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE FOLLOW AND

SUPPORT THE THRUST OF THE GOVERNMENT GRAFFITI REDUCTION

STRATEGY. THE DIFFERENCES IN EMPHASIS, WHEN THEY OCCUR,

ARE OF AN OPERATIONAL NATURE RATHER THAN ISSUES OF

PRINCIPLE. THESE DIFFERENCES ARE EXPLAINED IN GREATER

DETAIL IN THE TABLED RESPONSE.

THE REPORT RECOMMENDS THAT THE GOVERNMENT IDENTIFY

AREAS FOR DISPLAYING STREET ART, PROVIDE FUNDING FOR AN

OUTREACH OFFICER AND ALLOW FOR INPUT FROM YOUNG PEOPLE

AND OTHERS INTERESTED IN UNDERTAKING STREET ART.

I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE OBJECTIVES OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BEING MET UNDER THE CURRENT GRAFFITI-REDUCTION STRATEGY. CITY SERVICES HAS IDENTIFIED OVER 400 SITES FOR THE DISPLAY OF COMMUNITY ART. WORKS HAVE BEEN CREATED AT 13 OF THESE SITES, WITH FURTHER WORKS PROPOSED.
