Vandals have caused more damage to Council-owned infrastructure around the region over the past few days.
A fire was lit in the public conveniences at Wooroolin on Friday night, badly damaging the men’s toilet.
Vandals also damaged a barbecue area and other infrastructure in Pioneer Park at the weekend.
Last week, the South Burnett Regional Council announced the public toilets in Butter Factory Park, Nanango, had been temporarily closed due to vandalism.
