Where did the timber Entrance Signs to the Bushland Reserve on Rogers Drive Go?

At the beginning of this year, while walking through the Charles and Motee Rogers Bushland Reserve at Highfields, I noticed the absence of the original timber entrance signage on the Rogers Drive side of the Reserve.  I clearly remember this signage and it also had a brochure holder the same as the one on the Community Crt Entrance on the rogers drive side also, which always had the original brochures in it for those visiting the reserve.

During the petition for the reserve and researching the full history, no one I spoke to could remember the signs on Rogers Drive and didn't know anything about it.  I was relieved today to discover these google street view images taken in 2008 which show the entrance signage to the Reserve on Rogers Drive.  While the images are slightly blurry you can see it on the left of the gravel entrance. You will notice also that one large tree on the left hand side of the gravel entrance has also been removed sometime in the last six years.

Any information on why this signage was removed (it has not been re-located within the reserve), why and where it is now would be greatly appreciated. It is possible that the sign was too close to the gravel driveway entrance for access vehicles at the back of the reserve, if this was the case, why was it not moved a little further to the left of the driveway?
