Consultation has concluded

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback and comments on the Draft Safe Canning Strategy. Consultation has now closed.

With your help, we have:

  • Evaluated the City’s Community Safety & Crime Prevention Plan 2016-2020 (The Plan), including highlights, achievements and learnings, and;
  • Determined the City's community’s safety and crime priorities, themes and focus areas moving forward.

Now there is just one more step and we need your help!

Community safety is everyone’s responsibility.

The Strategy has been developed through extensive community and stakeholder consultation, analysis of local crime statistics and demographics, and is supported by the Safe Canning Strategy: Implementation Action Plan (IAP) 2021-2022. These documents maintain the City's ongoing commitment to strengthen communities and partnerships in order to improve safety, target crime and anti-social behaviour, as well as the various issues that underpin them in our community.

Documents to Review

The following documents can be found to the right of the screen in the 'Documents' tab. Please review these prior to providing your feedback and comments:

  • DRAFT Safe Canning Strategy
  • DRAFT Safe Canning Strategy: Implementation Action Plan (IAP) 2021-2022

A copy of the 2020 Community Safety Survey Outcomes Report is also available for review for those who wish to do so.

What are we doing differently?

The Strategy looks a little different from the CSCP Plans previously delivered. Traditionally these had specific goals, actions and success measures for a fixed term. This approach has proven restrictive, offering limited flexibility or opportunity for ongoing review to meet changing needs and emerging community safety issues.

The Strategy will enable a broader and less rigid framework to guide the City’s ongoing community safety priorities.

Adopting this approach also provides flexibility to accommodate for major changes in community priorities, such as a large scale or sustained emergency event.

Key changes we would like your feedback on are:

Our Focus

Factors that impact community safety are generally not confined to any one given cause or area. Rather to a range of elements that together combine to influence safety outcomes, both positive and negative.

Looking back on previous community safety surveys, perception surveys and CSCP Plans, there are consistent and recurring themes, that relate to;

  • People
  • Place
  • Partnerships

It is considered that these three (3) focus areas effectively capture the safety concerns that are important to the Canning community and where Council can play a key role in bringing about greater safety outcomes.

Safe Canning Strategy Cycle

The Strategy provides the guiding structure to support the implementation of initiatives and programs that enhance community safety.

This will be achieved through the delivery of the ‘Implementation Action Plan’ (IAP). The IAP and its ongoing review comprises several key steps, which together form the 'Safe Canning Strategy Cycle'. The cycle will be an annual process to ensure our focus remains ‘live’ and fluid throughout the Strategy’s lifetime.

Consult

A Community Safety Survey will be conducted annually. Consultation is intended to build on previous ‘Community Safety Month’ initiatives and provide a platform to seek ongoing community feedback and input.

Prioritise

Setting of priority actions will be determined through ongoing consultation with our community and key stakeholders regarding perceptions of safety.

Consideration to factors such as changes to local crime trends, demographic and census data will also influence actions and their priority and help to inform the IAP and success outcomes.

Implement

Identified actions will be assigned to one or more of the core focus areas People, Place, Partnerships within the IAP.

Report

Regular reporting of community safety outcomes and successes will be promoted to the broader community through a range of communication platforms and mediums. This includes an annual Community Safety Report Card, which provides a progress summary of the IAP, key achievements and completed actions.
