Yandina Park, Mansfield is popular for the attention seekers leaving graffiti in public places.
A Council team responds quickly to damage done to the toilet block and under the Wecker Road Bridge.
Identifying owners of tags and helping them to be socialised with community service might help rescue them from the path they are choosing. Painting, planting lomandra and effective vegetation will help give them useful skills.
Speedy removal of offensive vandalism is expensive but the best strategy to minimise gratification.
The Vegetation section of Council has done a great job landscaping and cleaning up near Wecker Road Bridge. Leaving areas looking ugly invites more vandalism
Massive planting of vegetation and regular maintenance is the solution I would like to see used to prevent and discourage the vandalism of public property.
It is such a stress reducer to see well maintained traffic islands and road sides.
Redlands Council does a great job at many of its islands and roundabouts.
Queensland Opposition spokesgirl Ellen Pea proposed new legislation requiring offenders to remove graffiti but it was rejected by Labor. A sunshine coast resident decided to do something about the vandalism of sound barriers on the highway. Apparently he was told to desist.
