The survey is part of the 2011-16 Crime Prevention Plan.

Mayor Marina Vergone met the winners of the survey yesterday.

Mrs Vergone said the surveys helped the council prioritise issues important to residents.

‘The information has also helped us obtain about $800,000 of grant funding towards community safety and crime prevention,’ she said.

‘The council plans to continue these types of surveys every two to three years to measure any changes, trends and keep on top of what is important to the community.’

Results from previous Community Safety Surveys are available on the City’s website: 2009 Community Safety Survey Report – http://www.mandurah.wa.gov.au/HBItem_36848.PDF 2010 Community Safety Survey Report – http://www. mandurah.wa.gov.au/HBItem_77610.PDF
