DAREBIN’S STREET ART HOTSPOTS
Have you seen some of Darebin’s vibrant street art?
With longer days and warmer nights, now is the perfect
time of year to explore Darebin’s impressive murals
created by Melbourne’s leading artists.
Darebin’s street art is supported
by the Street Art Subsidy program,
an innovative project that aims
to brighten the street scape
and prevent illegal graffiti by
commissioning professional
artists to create quality street art
in locations that have previously
been targeted by graffiti.
From 2017 to 2018, the Street
Art Subsidy program provided
funding for multiple projects
across Darebin (see map), as one
initiative to reduce the impact of
graffiti on our community.
Council is now seeking community
feedback to help develop the new
2019 – 2023 Graffiti Management
Strategy. This strategy will respond
to Darebin’s current graffiti culture
and community expectation of
how graffiti should be effectively
managed across the municipality.
Tips for preventing graffiti
• Remove graffiti within 24 hours
to prevent it from re-occurring.
• Avoid providing blank walls with
lighting which creates a canvas
for graffiti.
• Use garden planting such as fast
growing vines or spiky plants
like bougainvillea.
• Use dark coloured materials or
bands of colour on surfaces.
• Utilise anti-graffiti coatings.
• Use textured or rough surface to
make it difficult to apply paint
or pens.
• Maintain your property.
Poorly maintained properties
attract graffiti.

unwanted graffiti should be managed in
