The Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 2022-2027 (PDF, 1.07 MB) was endorsed by Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday 23 May 2023 following the public feedback period in March 2023. The graphically designed version of the CSCP Plan will be available on the City's website at a later date. Thank you to everyone involved in the development of the CSCP Plan.

Feedback from over 400 completed surveys received last year has helped us to shape the priorities and actions in the City’s draft Community Safety and Crime Prevention (CSCP) Plan 2022-2027, including brand new actions in three of the priority areas.

These new actions reflect the feedback we’ve received from our community, as well as aligning with the objectives of our key partners such as the Western Australian Police.

The draft CSCP Plan 2022-2027 was endorsed by Council on Tuesday 28 February 2023 to go out for public comment, and we want to hear from you. Tell us what you think of the new actions, as well as any feedback you have on other actions or the draft CSCP Plan in general.

How can I get involved?

The feedback period closed at 4pm, Wednesday 22 March 2023.

    Why is there no active security patrols included in the plan, for example, similar to the City of Melville. Police response times are not guaranteed in relation to what the Police may deem as urgent or non urgent. The City of Melville have visible and proactive security patrols to reduce crime however the City of South Perth has none.

    Hi there, thank you for your question. The City considers a range of factors when planning our community safety and crime prevention projects and initiatives, including community need, feedback from WA Police, cost, potential funding sources, etc. In the City’s 2022 community survey to inform the development of the CSCP Plan, more than half of the respondents (combined total of 58.4%) felt ‘safe’ or ‘somewhat safe’ in the City of South Perth. Recent feedback from WA Police (Kensington Police Station) also indicates that crime and anti-social behavior within the City of South Perth is at a low/manageable level compared to other municipalities. In addition, security patrols would result in a significant cost burden on the community, which would need to be funded (for example by a rates security levy or similar). For these reasons, security patrols are not included in the CSCP Plan at this point.
