Greater Shepparton City Council is after help from the community to help stop vandalism at the Greater Shepparton Regional Sports Precinct.
This has involved destruction of fences, break-ins to buildings and building sites and theft of club and contractor property.
The $21 million redevelopment will be a great asset to the Greater Shepparton community in providing first class training and playing facilities as well as hosting major sporting events.
Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure Steve Bowmaker said damage to the precinct is not only costly but very disappointing to users as well as the whole community.
“The Sports Precinct is something Council is very proud of and with its main purpose being community use we hope our community feel proud and protective of it as well.”
“I encourage anyone who notices antisocial behaviour in the area to immediately notify the Police and help protect this fantastic facility for all of us,” said Mr Bowmaker.
"If you see something, say something": Contact Crime Stoppers Victoria.
