Report graffiti

The City of Casey provides a free graffiti removal service and aims to remove graffiti from private property, local businesses, sporting facilities, parks and playgrounds, Council facilities and buildings, and Council signs within three business days. Graffiti deemed offensive is prioritised for removal within one day.

The graffiti removal program started in 2002. With over two decades of experience, we have developed one of the most comprehensive graffiti removal programs in the state. On average, the City of Casey removes 55,000 square meters of graffiti per year within our community. 

To put this into perspective, this is equivalent to annually painting the MCG playing surface 2.75 times. Live service information and historical graffiti data and hot-spot mapping is available on Casey’s Open Data Exchange.
 

CFA logo While the City of Casey recognises the difference between illegal graffiti and appropriate street art we still maintain a zero-tolerance approach to all graffiti vandalism. The Graffiti Management Program 2026-2030 takes a holistic approach across the full graffiti lifecycle, guided by six principles: Eradication, Engagement, Education, Engineering, Enforcement and Evaluation.


How to report graffiti

Good photos can help us remove the graffiti sooner, as we can prepare for the job in advance.

What does a good close-up photo show?

  • The material the graffiti is on e.g. brick, glass, timber etc.
  • The type of graffiti e.g. paint, scratches, stickers

What does a good distance photo show?

  • Where the graffiti is in relation to other objects e.g. roads, signs, landmarks.
  • How high the graffiti is off the ground.
  • The size of the affected area.
  • Any access issues.

Using the Snap, Send, Solve also enables reported graffiti, not on Council managed assets to be directed to the relevant Authority:

  • VicRoads - graffiti on major roads, traffic lights, signal boxes and road signs
  • Public Transport Victoria - graffiti on train stations, trains, buses and bus stops
  • Optus or Telstra - graffiti is on public telephones, telephone exchanges
  • Ausnet or United Energy - graffiti on power poles, light poles and electricity sub-stations

You can report graffiti directly using the Snap, Send, Solve website or contact our Customer Service Team.

Report graffiti

If you see graffiti in progress, you can report it to Victoria Police by calling Triple Zero (000).

Authorising graffiti removal from private property

Council requires access authorisation before entering private property to remove graffiti. The online form can be completed after the initial report has been made and a Notice of Intention to Remove/Obliterate Graffiti has been issued.
