Safety is a high priority for our community. Everyone has the right to feel and be safe. Council heard these concerns, and in 2024, allocated funding to establish a dedicated team to enhance both the actual and perceived levels of community safety within Greater Dandenong.
Council recognises the need for all sections of the community to work together to create a safer environment for people to live, work and travel. In this, Council plays a pivotal role in coordinating the efforts of stakeholders, partnerships and community to deliver a range of safety efforts aimed at enhancing community wellbeing and safety.
The Community Safety Strategic Framework 2024-25 details the role of Council in community safety.
