Council's Asset Planner for Parks and Buildings, Michelle Green, said the most recent incident occurred over the weekend of June 23 and 24.
"Volunteers from the Mount Gibraltar Landcare Bushcare Group arrived after the weekend to discover vandals had climbed over a wall and unbolted structural steel supports to remove locational signage from the Jellore lookout," she said.
As part of another recent act, vandals used a blowtorch to remove a heritage brass sundial installed by the Rotary Club in the 1960s.
The plaque went missing over the Queen's Birthday long weekend, despite it being screwed and glued to the trachyte plinth at the top of the Stone Stairway at the Bowral Lookout Picnic area.
Originally made in the 1950's, the plaque was missing in 1993 when restoration work initially began at Mount Gibraltar Heritage Reserve. It was returned in 2012, where the plaque was fastened and secured in to position.
"I'd ask the persons responsible to consider the impact of their actions on the community and return the sundial," Ms Green added.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Southern Highlands Police on 4869 7899.
