Logan City Council has a new strategy to keep the city safe over the next five years.
There are four key areas addressed by the plan: Research and planning; community empowerment; creating safter places and spaces; and partnerships with police, other government organisations, non- government organisations and the community.
Lifestyle chair Laurie Koranski said council was “committed to addressing public perceptions of crime through proactive programs”.
“Time and again, crime and the fear of crime are cited as a major issue for our residents and businesses,” Cr Koranski said.
“That’s why Council has taken a targeted approach to identify and address safety issues.
“The strategy and action plan involves not just Council, but partner organisations such as the Queensland Police Service, community groups and the general public working together towards solutions to reduce crime in our city.”
Council’s Community Safety Program delivers a number of initiatives dedicated to making our neighbourhoods more welcoming, inclusive and safe.
It oversees the Logan Safety Camera Program which has a network of more than 450 CCTV cameras.
It helps other branches of Council such as Parks to design cityscapes that are safe and which adhere to key crime prevention principles.
