8. Graffiti can be defined as any painting, drawing or writing of
something on the surface of in a public place. Graffiti is illegal
everywhere in Australia, including the City of Melbourne. (see
Graffiti Management plan 2014-2018)
Street art is artistic work done with the permission of the
person who owns the wall and the permission of the local
council. With the proper permission street art is legal in
Melbourne.
The council has a street art permit process which enables
property owners and tenants to get permission to let street
artists decorate their walls.
The term “Street art” covers a wider range of media and is
more connected with graphic design.
