A continuing audit on grafffiti will define where clean-ups are required.
By contacting the Gold Coast City Council GRAFFITI HOTLINE - # 5581 7998 residents are able to have graffiti cleaned ffom their boundary fencelines for FREE. Additional information is available on the Council website - www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/t_standard2.aspx?pid=45 showing the Graffiti Reporting Form.

WATCH OUT FOR SCAMS and IDENTITY THEFT?
SCAMS: come in different forms - from emails, telephone calls to someone knocking on the front door offering special deals. If it sounds too good to be true - it usually is!
The latest is a door to door scam requesting donations for Neighbourhood Watch!
IDENTITY THEFT: is also becoming more prevalent - so ensure your PERSONAL details are secure.
Be careful when receiving emails requesting personal details and if unsure about using credit cards on-line with your computer then best not to! Collect mail as soon as possible and keep your mailbox locked.
If you think someone is scamming then contact the Office of Fair Trading Queensland on 13 74 68 to verify the offer.
