In recent years graffiti vandalism has become a significant concern. It is estimated that South Australia alone spends around $20 million each year cleaning up various kinds of graffiti – predominantly tags, murals, and slogans.

The City of Salisbury, like other Councils in the metropolitan area, is affected by graffiti vandalism. To effectively combat graffiti, the City of Salisbury has adopted the approach of removing the graffiti as quickly as possible. In the cases of racist, sexist or obscene graffiti, Council is committed to removal within 24 hours.

Council employs painters and has a contract with The Department for Correctional Services to remove graffiti from bus shelters.

Council will assist private property owners within the City by removing graffiti from their property frontage or by supplying advice on graffiti removal practises.
