FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

The 2016 – 2020  Strategy is coming to the end of its life cycle and needs a revision to guide our crime and safety initiatives for the next 4 years. All going well, the SafeCity Strategy 2020 - 2024 (the Strategy)  is planned to be fully completed by August 2020.  

This Strategy will provide the blueprint to support actions to achieve several of the Strategic Community Plan objectives, namely:

          1.1          Safe, clean and inviting public places that are well patronised and enjoyed by all.

          1.5          Infrastructure, activities and programs that stimulate and entertain youth to reduce antisocial behaviour. 

          2.7          Safe and enjoyable experiences in the public realm enabled by smart technologies, innovative design and quality infrastructure.

The whole community, business, residents and Government has a role to play in managing their own safety and contributing to the safety of others. This includes personal safety, creating safe spaces, protecting property, promoting safe behaviours and working towards minimising harm.
