Hume City Council is actively collaborating with residents to address and mitigate antisocial behavior in our neighborhoods.
On Tuesday, 27 May, a Neighbourhood Safety Forum was held at Willowbrook Reserve, organised by Cambridge Garden Estate residents, Rachel Amore and Leonie Conforto. The forum provided a platform for residents to voice their concerns and discuss safety measures with Council representatives.
Tullamarine Ward Councillor Naim Kurt, alongside members of the City Safety team, attended the forum, engaging in meaningful discussions with community members. Key topics included local reserve upgrades, the upcoming budget and parking, Council's use of CCTV and policy, what's being done to reduce local crime, provisions in the recent Council budget to address illegal dumping and the possibility of future Council crime safety forums.
One significant outcome from the forum is Council's agreement to collaborate with the community on installing signage aimed at deterring criminal activities. Furthermore, there are plans to engage with Victoria Police to address concerns raised and explore the possibility of increasing patrols in the area.
Council is committed to fostering community safety and will be organising additional Community Safety Forums later this year. Residents are encouraged to participate and share their insights.
