How we're preventing and reducing graffiti

The City of Marion Graffiti Removal Program aims

to prevent and reduce

the incidence of graffiti.

Council supplies free graffiti removal products and has a group of volunteers who may be able to assist with graffiti removal.

You can report graffiti

on Council property via the Customer Portal.

In August 2022, Council introduced seven by-laws. Most of these by-laws are already in effect, but by 1 January 2023 by-law 6 ‘cat curfew’ will be fully implemented.

This means you will now be responsible for keeping your cat

at your premises between

8 pm and 7 am.

This will protect our local cats

and wildlife and reduce nuisance complaints.

We’ve curated a list of free, fun activities for the whole family to enjoy across the City of Marion.

Activities include:

• Bike riding through Sturt River Linear Park
• Snorkelling in Marino Rocks Reef
• Exploring the Little Marino Market
• Hiking along the Hallet Cove Coastal Walkway

Wet and warm spring weather has led to abundant grass growth in reserves and along road verges in the City of Marion.

The City of Marion manages around 900km of road verges and 3.2 million square metres (320 hectares) of open space, including more than 260 reserves.

Our 11-member reserve maintenance team and tractor-slasher contractors are working to capacity to keep on top of overgrown vegetation.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

A scoop on dog poop!

We are trialling a new composting system with two ‘doggie dunnies’ recently being installed at our

dog parks at Hazelmere Road Reserve, Glengowrie and

Reserve Street Reserve,

Trott Park. 

The units are specially designed

to accept only the green compostable pet waste bags, which will be collected and used

to create compost for gardens.
