The achievement was announced at the City’s Safe Day Out last month, a free family event designed to educate residents about safety in fun, interactive and engaging ways.
Melville Mayor Russell Aubrey said the City had been aligning to the International Safe Communities Framework for four years.
“Working together with key partners such as the City’s Community Safety Service, WA Police, Neighbourhood Watch, Injury Control Council of WA, Safer Melville Advisory Committee representatives, Road Safety Travel Smart Committee and many others allows the City to deliver targeted initiatives that address our community’s key priorities in a cost-effective manner,” he said.
“Creating a safer Melville is up to everyone, so I encourage everyone who lives, works, studies or visits Melville to help inform the 2017-2021 Safer Melville Plan and let us know what your safety priorities are.”
