Information for Commercial Property Owners

Information for Commercial Property Owners

The Trust has a programme to assist commercial property owners and occupiers in the Manukau region, with the eradification of graffiti and tagging from their premises.

After the initial clean-up of the premises (either by MBCT or the owners) the Trust offers two options for on-going support to commercial properties:

i) CASUAL : we will supply and provide all labour, plant, equipment and materials for the removal of tagging on the commercial site, as requested by the property owner. These visits will be charged individually, as previously agreed between the owners and the Trust.

ii) REGULAR : We will supply and provide all labour, equipment, plant and materials for the removal of tagging and the Trust will make twice weekly checks of the site, for a twelve month period. This will be charged as an annual maintenance fee.

The Trust will endeavour to complete the removal of any tagging within 24 hours of being made aware of the presence of tagging at the property.

OTHER SERVICES :

We are able to assist comercial property owners with the planting of trees and shrubs adjacent to 'high risk walls' - this is a proven deterrent to tagging and vandalism.

We are also able to provide property owners with advice for protective coatings and other tagging preventative measures.

PARTNERSHIPS :

The Trust is keen to partner with private business owners to assist them in the persistent war against tagging.
