A colourful mural is ringing in change at the Telstra exchange building on Market Road, Werribee.
A joint venture between Wyndham council and the telco, the mural has transformed the exterior of the brick building, which is a regular target for vandals.
Wyndham safer communities portfolio holder Kim McAliney said it was hoped the mural would help to prevent graffiti.
“Graffiti vandalism not only affects the visual appearance of neighbourhoods and influences perceptions of public safety, it is also costly for communities,” she said. “We know it’s not possible to completely eliminate unsightly graffiti, but we are committed to continuously reducing the amount of it and its negative impacts throughout Wyndham.”
