Victoria Police crime prevention officer Linda Hancock and Yarra Ranges graffiti project officer Merryn Auldist look on as Healesville Chamber of Commerce members Joanne Tate, Gary Slater and Michael Thompson test out the new graffiti kits.
WILLING hands and a specially adapted wheelie bin could provide the answer to keeping Healesville graffiti-free.
The Healesville Chamber of Commerce and Industry (HCCI) has adopted Yarra Ranges Council’s latest initiative in graffiti clean-up, the Portable Graffiti Removal Kit to keep the streets free of graffiti.
The kits, housed in a wheelie bin, are available for traders in 10 Yarra Ranges townships.
Each kit is equipped with graffiti removal chemicals, paint, brushes, bins, goggles and gloves to assist traders to safely remove graffiti from small areas including windows, walls, signs and other areas.
Trader, township and community groups wanting to use the graffiti trailer or the new portable kits can contact the council’s Community Links or Yarra Ranges Youth Services on 9294 6750.
