Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 8 Hansard (27 June) . . Page.. 2550 ..

THAT GRAFFITI RESISTANT MATERIALS BE USED WHERE THEY ARE

APPROPRIATE. WITH REGARD TO THE USE OF PLANTINGS TO

REDUCE ACCESS TO GRAFFITI VANDALS, IT IS A WORTHWHILE

STRATEGY THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED AND APPLIED WHEN A

COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF EACH CASE CONFIRMS THE

ADVANTAGES.

IN CONCLUSION, I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE GOVERNMENT'S

GRAFFITI-REDUCTION STRATEGY HAS CONSIDERED AND ADDRESSED

THE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE IN THE NINTH REPORT OF THE

STANDING COMMITTEE ON PLANNING AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

IN ADDITION, THE GOVERNMENT BELIEVES THE COMMUNITY SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE GRAFFITI STRATEGY. IN EARLY SPRING, THERE WILL BE A SERIES OF CLEAN UP DAYS WHERE MEMBERS OF THE

COMMUNITY WILL BE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE. IT IS INTENDED THAT THESE WILL BE LOCALLY BASED AND COORDINATED BY AN INTERESTED COMMUNITY GROUP.

CITY SERVICES WILL FACILITATE THESE CLEAN UP DAYS PROVIDING ADVICE AND THE SPECIALISED SUPERVISION OF THE `CAN-IT' SQUAD. PRIOR TO THE CLEAN UP DAYS THE GOVERNMENT WILL PRODUCE A SERIES OF INFORMATION LEAFLETS ASSISTING THE PUBLIC TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THE REMOVAL OF GRAFFITI FROM

THEIR OWN PROPERTY.
