9/08/2010 - 31/08/2010

We are are calling for public feedback on a new blueprint to reduce crime.

The Safety in the City Strategy (found below as a pdf) will provide a framework to consolidate all the existing activities we do, help us create new initiatives and foster ongoing partnerships to reduce crime and promote a safe and liveable city centre.

We encourage you to send comments to communitysafety@wollongong.nsw.gov.au

A public consultation meeting is scheduled to take place on:
August 26 at 6pm
Where: 41 Burelli Street, Wollongong City Council

A kiosk will be hosted at the Friday markets in Crown Street on 20 and 27 August 2010.

You can let us know if you have any ideas about other actions we can take to help you have a safer time in our city.

Goals for a Safer City

We aim to reduce crime and promote a safer more liveable city for residents, businesses and visitors. The Strategy has three overarching objectives:

1) Increase actual and perceived Community Safety in the City Centre
2) Reduce graffiti and vandalism
3) Reduce antisocial behaviour & crime associated with alcohol use.

The Draft Strategy

Draft Safety in the City Strategy 2010

In accordance with the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009, your submission including any personal information such as your name and address, will be made available for public inspection and may be exhibited on Council’s website. You may request, in the form of a statutory declaration, that Council suppress the personal information in your submission from public inspection, if you consider that the personal safety of any person would be affected if the information was not suppressed. Any such request will be dealt with in accordance with the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998.

You may also make an anonymous submission however if you choose to do so Council will be unable to contact you any further as to the outcome of your submission. It should also be noted that the lack of information as to your place of living may affect Council's consideration of the potential impact of the subject proposal.

Note: If Council receives a submission from any person who is legally required to provide a disclosure of any reportable political donation and / or gift under section 147 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, Council is legally required to publicly disclose all relevant details of the reportable political donation or gift onto Council's website. This will include the name and residential address of the person who provided the political donation or gift onto Council's website for full viewing by the general public.
