Council said every weekend, as well as several times during the week, since October 11 the toilet facility at Joe Caddy Park has been being vandalised with graffiti, wet toilet paper thrown at walls, stalls and the ceiling, and sanitary bins tipped out.

Also, on Monday council staff found street signs pulled out from several locations on Andy Poole Drive and a child's scooter thrown on top of the shade sail above the playground.

Council's urban maintenance coordinator Josh Reeve said from this most recent event it seemed the vandalism in the area had escalated.

He said while it usually takes from half an hour to two-and-a-half hours to clean up vandalised toilets, in the most recent incident at Tathra's toilets he had about three workers there for the best part of the day.

He said this drain on his team's time that came from having to clean up after incidents of vandalism meant they had less time to get to all the other jobs that needed doing.

"Toilet paper is really hard to clean up when it's wet," Mr Reeve said.

"It throws a spanner in the works for the teams."

He said Tathra's toilet block was not the only one to suffer damage like this, for instance the facility at Bega's Rec Ground was hit from time to time and it has even had its toilets destroyed.

"There's bit and pieces across the shire from time to time, you can never pick when and where," he said.

"The Christmas holidays do seem to be a busier time for it to happen.

"But this one in Tathra last weekend has been quite bad."

Mr Reeve said council has now filed a police report on the issue.

"It's hard with these kind of things; you don't often end up finding the culprits unfortunately," he said.

"It's more often that when you get these media releases out you do see it slow down a little."

He said the shire's residents can help reduce vandalism to public facilities by making reports to the authorities if they see such incidents, first to the police, and also to council's customer service team.

"We will try to get to something like that straight away," he said.

"The eyes and ears of the public really is a help in this situation."
