Senseless vandalism of road signs

Published on 03 July 2025

Loddon Shire Council is seeking public help after road signs were recently damaged in what appears to be an act of vandalism.

Signs on Boort-Kurting and Fiery Flat Rds were recently knocked over and then driven on.

The incidents have been reported to Victoria Police.

Loddon Shire Council Operations Director Steve Van Orsouw said the damage was disappointing.

“Council staff work hard to ensure our roads and infrastructure are in top condition,” Mr Van Orsouw said.

“It’s work that takes time but while we are dealing with senseless vandalism like this, it means we can’t be doing the things that really make a difference.

“I’d encourage anyone with any information on these incidents to contact Victoria Police.”

The damage has also come at a financial cost to ratepayers, with replacement and repair expected to cost more than $600.
