The City of Stonnington is disappointed by the vandalism of Council's festive decorations. These decorations are for the enjoyment of all community members, residents and visitors to Stonnington.
The 'Make Merry' campaign was developed in response to feedback from residents and businesses that articulated the need for an inclusive way to acknowledge the different celebrations held in December. The decorations aim to bring a festive feel to Stonnington's commercial precincts and support our local businesses and traders by attracting visitors to our shopping precincts.
The motifs on the design are symbols associated with celebrating Christmas. Council also hosts two Christmas carol events, celebrates Christmas within our libraries and has Christmas trees in high-profile locations, including the 12m tree in Prahran Square.
While we understand some residents may have differing views about the wording on the decorations, property vandalism is unacceptable.
Residents can provide feedback to the Council online, by phone, email, mail or by visiting a Council service centre.
