Consultation has concluded
Background
The City commenced the process of developing its Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan for 2019-2024 which will build on the City’s existing community safety activities and will supersede the previous Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 2013-2018. Part of this process sought community feedback to identify the current perceptions of safety and crime in the City which will help inform the development of the draft Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan.
Engagement Activities & Promotion
The project included two surveys: one for households and one for businesses. The survey was made available online via the City's engagement platform and was also distributed City-wide via letterbox drop. The survey was promoted on the City's social media platforms, one placement in the Echo newspaper and two community popups at local shopping centres: Hawaiian's Forrestfield and Kalamunda Central and one event pop-up at the Connecting Communities Event at Hartfield Park.
The survey was popular with a total of 565 submissions, 530 responses submitted by households and 35 responses submitted by businesses.
The survey will be used as a baseline for monitoring the performance on all future activities. The data from the surveys was able to confirm where the community wanted to see improvements to safety and crime prevention such as increased lighting/police presence for example and was an essential tool for the committee to ensure they were on track with the communities expectations. Feedback from the survey was used to guide the development of the updated Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 2020-2025. Ongoing consultation with the public will include future surveys so that the committee can monitor the trends within community expectations and ensure they continue to align with the committees plans.
