Repairing vandalised assets is a constant battle for Council’s Open Spaces teams and costs ratepayers over $50,000 per year.

“It is a big drain in terms of time repairing damage caused by vandalism, and quite devastating for staff morale to have to do this on a regular basis,” Open Spaces and Facilities Manager Peter Birch said.
An extensive amount of vandalism took place in the Lower Clarence over the school holidays. BBQ facilities and fences in various parks were destroyed while a number of shopfront windows were smashed.

We ask the community, if you see something, say something:
• Report antisocial behaviour to the police on 131 444, or if you feel unsafe call 000.
• Please report damage to council assets on 6643 0200.
