STATE GOVERNMENT

The State Government is delighted to be associated with the PAV initiative. The Premier Alan Carpenter launched the group on 12 May 2006 and was impressed by the extent of the local community's support for the concept.

The State Government recently provided a grant of $5,000 to PAV for its Graffiti Busters Brigade. The grant will enable the volunteers who will operate the brigade to receive professional training in Graffiti removal.

The State Government has an initiative called Goodbye Graffiti, but one of the problems all government programs encounter is exactly the one which PAV's Graffiti Busters Brigade will address, that they cant clean graffiti from private premises without the permission of the owners.

By enlisting local residents and businesses as members, PAV not only solve this problem but give the community a sense of ownership and participation. The State Government is proud of the contribution of WA police to the PAV initiative and supports any initiative which facilitates a closer relationship between authorities and the community.
