The figure was slightly higher than the $64,000 spent on vandalism in 2014/15, but down from $2013/14 when it cost $102,000.
The largest cost was to the park and landcare division, which spent $46,000 cleaning up after vandals.
There was also $15,000 spent in the technical services department and $2,000 by environmental services.
The corporate development division had to find an additional $1,500 in the budget to pay for vandalism clean up, while it cost community services $200 for the year.
When asked on Facebook what the money would have been better spent on, Amy Lewis said she would have preferred the $60,000 went towards sealing regional roads.
One commenter said they would have preferred organised street art, instead of the illegal graffiti.
Not everyone was against it.
“Just leave it, after all it is part of skate culture,” Chloe Beaumont wrote.
In the past seven years, vandalism has cost the taxpayers almost $550,000.
The largest vandalism bill in recent years was in 2008/09, when $137,433 was spent on repairing damage to the city.
Council interim general manager David Dwyer has previous said how disappointing vandalism was for council staff.
"You'll spend all week doing the work, like planting trees, and sometimes you come back in on Monday and they've all been ripped out,” he said.
"There's $600,000 worth [of vandalism] there over seven years. You could image what you could do with that, That's money that could have been spent on improving something, rather than putting it back to how it was."
Vandalism is classified as willful damage.
A $2500 reward from council is available for any information about vandalism that leads to a conviction, but only one reward has been given to date, in 2013/14.
