Mandurah council to report all hate graffiti to police
City of Mandurah now reports all racist and hate-based graffiti to police. It includes private property too, not just council property.
The City of Mandurah updated its vandalism policy after a council vote in October. Racist, offensive, or hate-based graffiti must now be reported to WA Police, including graffiti on both public and private property.
