Spray Can Sales in Australia May Be Banned Soon!
THE sale of paint spray cans could be outlawed across New South Wales in an attempt to tackle graffiti vandalism which generates an annual $100 million clean-up bill.
The NSW Attorney General, John Hatzistergos, has launched an urgent review of legislation surrounding graffiti vandalism and said that a total ban on spray cans may be the only answer.
Graffiti costs local councils millions to remove with Sydney City alone spending up to $3 million a year to clean up in the CBD.
“Last year the Government set up the NSW Anti-Graffiti Action Team to drive new measures to reduce graffiti,” Mr Hatzistergos said.
“One of our election commitments was that the AGAT would review all relevant legislation and examine the possibility of a total ban on spray paints.”
