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.
Congratulations to @sussanleymp on her election to lead the Federal Liberals, the first woman to do so.
Under Sussan’s leadership, the Liberal Party can offer a compelling vision grounded in our core values of individual freedom, personal responsibility, reward for effort, and opportunity and a fair go for all.
The NSW Liberals look forward to working with Sussan and her Deputy @ted.obrien.mp to renew the Liberal Party and ultimately deliver better outcomes for all Australians. ... See MoreSee Less

The Labor govt. and its jackals will tear her to shreds. There is no point in electing a woman leader just because of her sex, unless she has the character and ability of a Margaret Thatcher or a Giorgia Meloni.
The other bloke was blown away by even mention of the potential deputy.
Only way Australian's can have a fair go is if Net Zero is dropped
Due to the closeness of the vote, I think she may have tumultuous time , trying to unite this rabble.
Just fold the party and start again
Unfortunately they are both
Liberals are supposed to have a conscience and support religion, little of this have we seen!!!
Congratulations Susan, go girl, go!
I am counting on you to get things going for Libs. .
VOTE NO Australia need to stop KILLING THEIR INNOCENT CHILDREN! www.facebook.com/DrJoannaHowe/videos/2071684856641316
What’s she going to do about excessive taxation and regulations
Congratulations Sussan. I would have been happy with either you or Angus. I see from the abhorrent comments, the Labor Lying Party supporters; obviously are very salty. Hilarious!
To the new party
Need to know where she stands on what is man & woman & climate folly
Wrong choice…..
Don't support the abortion bill or it will be the last time vote liberal !!!!

It was great to visit Kamay Botany Bay National Park recently and see the new visitor centre taking shape.
The visitor centre is expected to be completed next year. Together with the new amenities blocks at Commemoration Flat and Cricket Pitch, the new whale watching platform, walking track upgrades, car park and other improvements, the park will be an even better place to visit. ... See MoreSee Less

The election of Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost as the 267th pope is a moment of great significance for Catholics around the world.
May Pope Leo XIV’s leadership bring strength and renewal to the faithful and hope, goodwill and justice to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
