Community Safety Plan 2015 - 2020 | 3
Perceptions of safety are a key indicator of the overall health and wellbeing of a community. A safe community is one where people are able to participate and live their lives in an environment without fear or risk of harm or injury. Community safety is about providing an environment where people are informed, engaged and welcome.
The Northern Mallee Community Partnership Safety Operational Group has developed this five year Community Safety Plan to address and improve perceptions of safety within the local community. The plan has been developed through a collaborative approach, is based on local data, informed by research
IntroduCtIonand evaluation and aligned to the 2013-2017 Mildura Rural City Council Plan and 2013-2017 Mildura Rural City Council Community Health and Wellbeing Plan.This plan focuses on perceptions of safety and considers a broad range of issues impacting on perceptions of safety within the community.
A number of priority areas for actions were identified based on the information and data collected through the development process. The key priority areas are:
ρ safe, active and well maintained public spaces
ρ partnerships and collaboration
ρ communication, media and safety messages
ρ supporting people, community strengthening and capacity building activities
ρ reducing harm associated with alcohol
ρ minimising the impact of illicit drugs in the community.
Local organisations and services are currently working in all of the key priority areas. There are increased opportunities for collaborative efforts, greater community engagement, access to resources and service improvements by combining all key priority areas into an overarching community safety plan.
‘Everyone has the right to life,
liberty and security of person’
(Article 3, Universal Declaration
of Human Rights)
Community Safety Plan 2015 - 2020 | 4
Perceptions of safety are a significant measure of the broader health and wellbeing of a community. When people feel unsafe, they are less likely to be connected to, or actively involved in their community. When people feel unsafe they are more likely to be isolated and fearful which are important factors in a person’s capacity to engage in social and recreational activities, education, employment and access services and facilities.
Community safety is consistently identified as a high priority for local residents. The 2013-2017 Mildura Rural City Council Plan and the 2013-2017 Mildura Rural City Council Community Health and Wellbeing Plan both commit to the development of a ‘Community Safety Plan’ as a way of addressing the concerns identified through the engagement and consultation process.
The Northern Mallee Community Partnership (NMCP) Safety Operational Group (SOG) was established in 2007 and its focus is to bring together representatives from different sectors to identify, collect and analyse data related to safety indicators and make recommendations to the NMCP. As part of annual planning in 2014, the SOG identified priority areas for action and a project group was formed to address perceptions of safety within the community.
The alignment of Council and the NMCP Safety Operational Group priorities created an opportunity for a collaborative approach to developing a plan to understand, address and improve perceptions of safety within the community.
BaCkground
‘Neighbourhoods which are perceived as safe, foster community
participation, encourage physical activity, community connectedness
and add to the health and well-being of local residents and visitors. Neighbourhood safety can only be achieved through the development and support of partnerships, within local communities, with business,
residents, community groups, police, agencies and councils, which identify
local solutions to local issues. The built environment and the way
neighbourhoods are designed and maintained, impact greatly on
perceptions of safety and are critical factors in any strategy for improving
safety in neighbourhoods.‘ (Community Indicators Victoria)
Community Safety Plan 2015 - 2020 | 5
The SOG project group initiated and oversaw the development of the Community Safety Plan.
The development of the plan commenced with a review of data captured through past engagement processes including the community consultation undertaken as part of the development of the Mildura Rural City Council Plan 2013-2017. A review of national and international literature on perceptions of safety and community safety was undertaken as well as analysis of data from a range of sources.
The information gathered confirmed the broad and complex nature of community safety. Further consultation was undertaken to determine the main concerns of the community in relation to feeling safe via a broad based community survey which was undertaken in late 2014. The survey drew a significant number of responses with over 400 members of the community participating. The success of the survey can be attributed to the collective efforts of the project group and the organisations represented. The engagement approach built on connections within community and the knowledge of how to engage effectively with a wide range of community members.
Priority areas and opportunities for action were indentified by the SOG project group through analysis of survey data in conjunction with the existing data, literature and consideration of evidence based best practice in community safety. A detailed action plan has been developed to respond to the priority areas identified.
Methodology
The partners involved in the development of the plan represent key organisations with different roles and expertise who are involved in promoting safety in the community and crime prevention:
ρ Victoria Police
ρ Department of Justice & Regulation
ρ Mildura Rural City Council
ρ Youth Justice, Department of Human Services
ρ Mildura District Aboriginal Service
ρ Mildura Law Courts
ρ Northern Mallee Community Partnership
ρ Neighbourhood Watch
ρ Victims Assistance and Counselling Program, Sunraysia Community Health
ρ Mildura City
ρ Healthy Together Mildura
ρ Sunraysia Mallee Ethnic Communities Council.
The Community Safety Plan enables a holistic approach to community safety and will support:
ρ collaborative efforts for prevention and response to safety concerns
ρ improved coordination
ρ shared commitment to improving community safety
ρ better allocation of resources.
The implementation of the plan will be guided and supported by all SOG partner organisations. A project officer based at Council will work with the partnership to deliver the plan and coordinate and implement community safety initiatives as identified in the action plan.
