Recent vandalism and theft incidents at the Elma Landfill Site (Atwood) are prompting North Perth to take action.
There will soon be close to $6,700 worth of security upgrades including the installation of video surveillance equipment and motion detectors. Some members of Coucil are so incensed that staff have been directed to find out if it is legal to electrify the perimeter fence.
Manager of environmental Services Mark Hackett estimates the total amouont of damage caused by vandals so far is at least $25,000. He adds thefts of diesel fuel and an attempted break in to the scale house are the most recent occurrences.
North Perth officials are hopeful the security improvements at the Elma Landfill Site will deter criminal activity and maybe result in the apprehension of the culprits.
