Graffiti
- Graffiti is a criminal offence and can result in a criminal record, fines and/or penalties.
- Graffiti costs are paid by everyone in our community in some way.
- If you witness someone doing graffiti, you can make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Graffiti removal
- The City of Fremantle will remove graffiti that is visible from a public road or public open space.
- The removal of offensive graffiti – that is graffiti that is of a rude or racial nature – is given priority.
- The City’s graffiti team carry a limited amount of paint and are not always able to match the paint on your building.
- Generally, graffiti can be removed within 2 working days of being reported.
- The City has chemicals to remove graffiti, but this does not always remove the graffiti in its entirety. These chemicals can only be used on certain surfaces (bare brick, limestone, glass etc), therefore repainting is generally a better option.
