Project Update - March 2023

We’re actioning our plan for a safer Cockburn

The City’s plan for a safer Cockburn is finalised and underway after receiving unanimous support from Council at their meeting in March 2023, leading to its adoption.

Changes to the draft

After releasing the draft plan for community feedback in late 2022, the City made several changes before presenting the final plan to Council:

Increased the budget for CCTV implementation
Expanded CCTV coverage by including new areas and removing those already funded for CCTV
Minor wording changes.

About the plan

Some of the key actions in the plan include:

Facilitating a mentoring program between CoSafe and youth
Providing an Aboriginal ranger traineeship program
Funding the expansion of mobile CCTV cameras fleet
Providing a residential home subsidy or purchase scheme for the installation of residential CCTV systems

Advocating for increased Police resources within the Cockburn area
Advocating for increased accountability of damaged and graffiti impacted infrastructure
Working with primary and secondary schools to increase youth awareness of community safety, including programs and services.
