South Burnett Regional Council will get a $16,000 grant from the State Government to either rid local areas of graffiti or give a facelift to community facilities.<\/p>\n

All of the State\u2019s 73 councils will share in funding for the next four years to ensure public buildings and amenities are looking their best.<\/p>\n

Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington said the Council can decide how it uses the money.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome communities are more seriously affected than others but our government won\u2019t confine grants to the big cities,\u201d Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn line with the Newman Government\u2019s view of empowering local communities, the South Burnett council will decide how best to use the money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local Government Minister David Crisafulli said graffiti was costing councils thousands of dollars each year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s a pedestrian bridge or a picnic table, locals are proud of their community assets and they don\u2019t want them to be tagged by graffiti vandals,\u201d Mr Crisafulli said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncils may also choose to paint a mural on a wall or give a lick of paint to a public toilet.<\/p>\n

\u201cEither way, we know the local community will get bang for their buck.\u201d<\/p>\n

In conjunction with the grants, Crime Stoppers will run a new State-wide GraffitiSTOP hotline, website and Facebook page so people can alert authorities to new graffiti by phone 1300-472-334 (6:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Fridays excluding Public Holidays), text or online<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The initiative will also give Council the opportunity to join with the Department of Community Safety to use community service offenders to help remove graffiti where appropriate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
