Police have been notified by the Robe District Council about an increase in vandalism to community assets.

Council chief executive James Holyman said there had been vandalism within the public toilets around the town, including the Long Beach and Front Beach toilets.

“This ongoing issue is costing the community a lot of money as we have to pay to repair the damages done to these important community assets,” Mr Holyman said.

“The police have been notified and they will be regularly patrolling the areas to help protect our assets.

“We need the help of the community to try and find the culprits so we can put an end to the costly vandalism.

“Sadly, our only alternative if the vandalism continues will be to close the public toilets to reduce the financial impact on the community of these unexpected repairs.”
