Graffiti vandalism prevention programme review

Mayor Len Brown is bringing together Auckland’s graffiti vandalism prevention teams, trusts and partners to review progress over the past five years.

The event will take place at Auckland Council, 135 Albert Street between 3:30-5pm on Monday 16 November 2015.

The Mayor will be recognising those who have made a significant contribution towards Auckland’s graffiti prevention programme.

Auckland Council’s award-winning graffiti vandalism service was set up after the Mayor made the establishment of a whole-of-Auckland approach to graffiti prevention one of his top priorities in 2010.

The service is based on rapid eradication, targeted enforcement and evidence-based education. Most reports of graffiti are removed within 24 hours or less.

The focus of Monday’s forum will be on celebrating the many successes over the past five years, on sharing best practice and strengthening connections with partners such as the Police, KiwiRail and the New Zealand Transport Agency.

As part of the event, the Mayor will be presenting certificates of appreciation to a variety of individuals and groups across Auckland.
