In recent years, the Lismore area has faced a growing concern—an alarming rise in malicious damage to property. According to the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOSCAR), incidents of malicious property damage are increasing at a rate of 25.5% each year. This upward trend not only represents a growing threat to the safety and peace of mind of property owners but also impacts the overall well-being of the community. At Herne’s Security, we recognize the critical need for effective security measures to help counter this concerning trend and protect what matters most to you.
Understanding the Threat
Malicious damage to property can range from graffiti and vandalism to more severe destruction of assets. The 25.5% annual increase, as reported by BOSCAR, highlights a growing threat to both residential and commercial properties in Lismore. This rise in property damage doesn’t just mean the inconvenience and cost of repairs; it also signifies a growing feeling of insecurity among residents and business owners.
Such incidents often occur during night hours, and without adequate deterrents, properties can quickly become easy targets for vandals. As the statistics suggest, the problem is intensifying, meaning proactive measures are no longer optional—they’re essential.
