Inverleigh Public Toilets Vandalised

In September, it was disappointing that Inverleigh’s valuable community facilities were targeted by vandals. On the weekend of 18th and 19th of September, several cubicles at the Inverleigh Public Toilets at the corner of High and East Streets were damaged, putting them out of action for all residents and visitors at the start of the school holidays. Initial repairs were quickly undertaken by Council, with the cubicles reopened on Tuesday 21 September. At the time of writing, Council was waiting on three replacement basins to arrive which will be installed as soon as possible. Council appeals to anyone in the community that has information on the thoughtless vandalism to please contact Victoria Police.

Editors Note: On the day that this vandalism occurred, I was contacted by a concerned resident who asked me to follow up as some of the vandalism involved electrical fittings and connections. I rang the Golden Plains Shire number, and being after hours, was put through to a very helpful lady. I then visited the site and took some photos of the vandalism and forwarded them to the lady. A Shire employee was already on site and taped off the area and made safe the electrical items. Well done by our Shire employees, Colleen and Tim, who have responded quickly and appropriately to make good the situation. PeterT. (Editor)
