Is graffiti or noise getting you down?

People are entitled to make a reasonable level of noise, but everyone also has the right to have excessive noise stopped or reduced, provided the noise is under human control.

Graffiti vandalism (tagging) is a crime that affects the whole community.  It can lower property values and encourage more vandalism and other types of crime. It also costs a lot of money to clean up – money that could be better spent on other things for Tauranga City.

• If you have an issue with noise, you can call the Council on 07 577 7000 at any time of the day or night to report it. 
   
• If you see someone tagging phone 111 immediately.  The Police have a better chance of taking legal action if they can catch an offender in the act.  For general graffiti reporting please call the Council 07 577 7000.
