Increase in vandalism worries council
ARARAT Rural City Council is concerned by a recent spike in vandalism across the municipality, warning that senseless damage is diverting ratepayer funds away from roads and essential services. In recent weeks, Council has recorded a series of incidents targeting public assets, including damage to the Green Hill Lake toilets and the Travellers Rest pump, as well as damage to a Council grader. A Council ranger ute that was stolen has also been recovered burnt out in a dam, leaving ratepayers to foot the bill for replacement and clean-up costs.
