Following reports fruit bats have prevented ambulances from using Bendigo Hospital, the Bendigo Easter Fair Society says bats are threatening the future of the 150-year-old fair.

President of the society, Simon Mulqueen, says the bats have always been a problem but have gotten worse.

“Now they’ve gone from one portion of the park to basically the whole park … and it’s destroying the availability of the park itself to the community to use on a daily basis and threatening the future of the fair,” he told Neil Mitchell.
