Free Graffiti removal kits available for Greater Shepparton residents

Posted on Tuesday 2nd of September, 2025,

Greater Shepparton City Council is reminding residents and business owners that free graffiti removal kits are available through the Wipeout Graffiti Removal Kit Program, a joint initiative between Council and Victoria Police.

This initiative supports residents in removing graffiti from private and commercial properties, while supporting Victoria Police and Greater Shepparton City Council to better track trends in Graffiti activity in the community.  

Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said the program reflects a shared effort to maintain pride in the local area.

“This initiative gives our community the tools to respond quickly to vandalism. By reporting graffiti, and using these free kits, we can empower locals to take pride in their streets, while also giving Victoria Police and Council the information needed to identify trends and act on them,” he said.

Graffiti Removal kits can be requested in person at the Shepparton Police Station or at the Customer Service Counter at Council’s Welsford Street Office.

When requesting your graffiti kit from Council, please provide details of the property affected by graffiti. This information will help support future community graffiti prevention initiatives.

We encourage the Greater Shepparton community to report incidents of graffiti through the Police Assistance Line (131 444) to enable recording of graffiti trends and locations to support future preventative measures.

Graffiti kits include:

  • Safety and removal instructions
  • Safety glasses
  • Gloves
  • Sensitive surface graffiti remover
  • Paint brush
  • Cloth

You are eligible to collect a kit if you:

  • Are a Greater Shepparton resident
  • Are a Greater Shepparton business
  • Have reported the unwanted graffiti you want removed.

How to report graffiti:

Incidents of graffiti on your private property or commercial premise can be reported to the Police via:

Online reporting provides you with the same service you would receive at a police station at a time or place convenient to you.

Once Victoria Police have processed your report, you will receive a notification with support information and a police reference number. This will be sent to you either by email or post.

Graffiti kits can be collected from:

  • Greater Shepparton City Council, 90 Welsford Street, Shepparton
  • Shepparton Police Station, 155 Welsford Street, Shepparton

The Wipeout Graffiti program is a proactive way for residents to take ownership of their neighbourhoods and help maintain clean, welcoming public spaces across the region.
