Graffiti Action Day Tagged A Success

Australia’s first ever Graffiti Action Day was held on Sunday 2nd May 2010, and it was a great success. 237 individual sites were targeted and 4178 m2 of illegal graffiti vandalism was removed.

A range of participants were involved on the day across the state. NSW Attorney General John Hatzistergos thanked the volunteers for pitching in on Graffiti Action Day 2010. “Everybody who rolled up their sleeves to help clean up the scourge of graffiti from communities on Graffiti Action Day should be congratulated. Their efforts send a clear message to graffiti vandals that they’ve had enough.” Mr Hatzistergos said.

Graffiti Action Day is a joint initiative between Keep Australia Beautiful NSW and the NSW Government.
