Sutherland Shire Council is one of seven local councils across the state being provided with NSW Government grants to address illegal graffiti in the local areas and revitalise public spaces.
Council has been awarded a Graffiti Management grant of $88,500 for a third round of the Walk the Walls street art festival.
The third round in Cronulla from 9 to 11 December follows hugely successful festivals in Caringbah in 2018 and Cronulla in 2019.
The Graffiti Management Program was set up to fund the removal of unwanted graffiti and the activation of areas with street art.
We know that revitalising unused spaces increases perceived public safety, creates community pride, and lowers the incidence of crime including graffiti. However, a ‘one-size fits all’ approach isn’t always the best response.
The NSW Government’s Graffiti Management Program draws on local knowledge and expertise to build tailored projects for local councils, with the aim of reducing incidents of graffiti.
Great street art is a legitimate way to beautify and revitalise public spaces. It can bring communities together, mark significant moments in time, inform, inspire, and lead people to think in new and different ways about a variety of subjects.
This isn’t just art for art’s sake. Projects like the Walk the Walls street art festival add to the local environment in a way that the community can enjoy, create opportunities to bring people together and even boost the local economy.
The objectives of the Graffiti Management Program include preventing and minimising graffiti vandalism and reducing the social, environmental, and economic impact of graffiti vandalism.

Harnessing the enormous potential of AI will be a central component of a future NSW Liberals / Nationals Government delivering better government services and higher living standards for the people of NSW.
Yesterday James Griffin MP, Gurmesh Singh MP, The Hon. Jacqui Munro MLC and I joined a fantastic roundtable with industry heavyweights (including AI data centre builders, start-ups and financiers) telling us what they think needs to be done for NSW to maximise its AI potential and to so responsibly.
Many thanks to Freshwater Strategy for organising.

I'd like to see AI replace the RBTU workforce
This is beyond fantastic. Innovative, cutting-edge and genuinely progressive. AI isn’t the devil’s work — it should be the hard, serious work of government done well. This is the kind of vision NSW so desperately needs from government. Harnessing AI responsibly while driving better services and higher living standards is exactly the type of leadership the public expects in 2025 and beyond. Hats off to you Mark Speakman prepared to think big, bold and for the future.

I’d like to see the LNP grow some and drop Mark Speakman. The LNP have no chance of winning with him and we don’t need labor in for yet another term. Speakman is a weakman and must be dumped as leader immediately.
