Press Release Tags aren’t Art.pdf
TRRA originally met with The Nelson Bay Business Chamber and Nelson Bay Town Management to discuss the increasing issue of graffiti in the area. The Chamber has employed a Newcastle based group to remove grafitti from the Nelson Bay CBD area. We believe the Port Stephens Council should take the lead in dealing with the ever increasing vandalism and have sent the following letter to Council regarding the matter.TRRA Graffiti letter.pdf
The reply ackowledged the problem and referred to forming a working party of interested people. This has not yet happened. TRRA organised a meeting on the 9th March 2010 with three speakers (including a PSC representative) to address the topic – GRAFFITI – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. TRRA has continued to lobby councillors and council and council has now drafted a Graffiti Management Plan which will be released after input from the Resident’s Panel.
About time TRRA updated the POSITIVE ASPECTS that are still being carried out by Port Stephens Graffiti Action Team (G.A.T.).
Please contact John Bell, Judy Washington or Brian Watson-Will for the current positive results of this BRILLIANT TEAM of volunteers.
Brian, if you want to put a few words together about the current activities of the GAT I will post it on the website. Webmaster@trra.com.au
