Reward for Reporting Vandalism

In order to promote community awareness and assistance in deterring vandalism to Council property, Council has adopted a policy relating to the determination of rewards for persons reporting vandalism. The maximum amount payable for any reward payment is $1,000. Determinations of rewards will be made on a case by case basis and will apply where information provided has resulted in a successful prosecution.
