‘This includes the possible installation of security cameras that will allow vandals to be easily identified, road sign message boards, and further increasing our presence after dusk when people are likely to be in the reserve.’
The City has received more than 100 reports relating to incidents within the protected bushland since July 2013.
Mr Hunter said there was clear evidence of trampling and damage to native vegetation in the area, sometimes including the removal of plants.
‘The main problem seems to be the clearing of vegetation to allow for the construction of bicycle paths and jumps,’ he said.
‘Often we come across quite extensive holes dug in the ground as a result of attempts to build dirt jumps and this is having a real impact on the reserve and its natural habitat.’
