The City of Kwinana’s Community Safety Series will dedicate the month of October to enhancing the community safety and wellbeing.
The Community Safety Series is back bigger than ever with workshops, engaging pop ups and various subsidies and rebates.
Mayor Peter Feasey said this month was a chance to boost home security, be ready for emergencies, and know how to report any crime.
“Community safety is more than addressing crime,” Mayor Feasey said.
“It is also about having the right emergency apps on your phone, maintaining cybersafe practices online, knowing your neighbours, responsible pet ownership, and taking meaningful steps to protect your property and family.
“We are dedicating a month to community safety in Kwinana, tackling everything from cyber safety for youth and business, to road safety and traffic calming, illegal dumping, infant resuscitation and even pool safety.
“We will also offer a complimentary hot drink at each of our pop-up events for people who download Eyes on the Street app.
“Information on the City’s CCTV subsides and the State Government’s Safe and Found Rebate, plus our Street Meet rebates, will be available at each event with support for grant writing on 21 October at the Kwinana Public Library from 10am to 12pm.
“In addition to all of this, we are preparing for summer’s risk of bushfires and other emergencies by hosting four Disaster Preparedness Forums across the City.
“We are working closely with Police to build a safer community and they will be in attendance at many of the events,” he said.
