Bass Coast Council addresses coastal vandalism with signs highlighting Inverloch foreshore vegetation damage and restoration efforts
Council installed 'Tree Vandalism' signs after vegetation poisoning along Inverloch Foreshore. Defaced signs reveal persistent issues. Additional signs aim to deter actions endangering coastal beauty, stability, and assets. Report anonymously.
In response to previous deliberate acts involving poisoning of coastal vegetation along the Inverloch Foreshore path in the vicinity of Toorak Road and Ramsay Boulevard Inverloch, council installed two 'Tree Vandalism' signs. These signs acknowledge the act of vandalism and occupy the space as if there was vegetation until it regrows.
Defaced signs cannot be cleaned without damage. Existing signs remain until replaced. Council will install additional signage after further vegetation poisoning
Protect Inverloch foreshore
Earlier this week, these signs were defaced with spray paint. Unfortunately, our Maintenance Team has been unable to clean the signs without damaging the sign. The existing signs will remain in place until replacements can be sourced. Following further deliberate poisoning of vegetation in the area, council will install an additional sign further along the Inverloch foreshore.
The Inverloch Foreshore is a much-enjoyed part of our community, attracting visitors and contributing to our local economy. These actions impact on the beauty of the foreshore and increase the risk of coastal erosion, threatening the long-term sustainability of the beach and surrounding community assets.
Council urges everyone to respect and protect our environment for current and future generations. If you happen to witness or know how the damage to our vegetation is occurring, these matters can be reported to council. Reports can be made anonymously via Bass Coast Shire Council website.
