Have Your Say on Community Safety in the City of Busselton.

The City of Busselton, in partnership with WA Police, the Department of Communities, St John WA, WA Country Health Service (WACHS), and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES), is working collaboratively to develop a Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan.

Edith Cowan University (ECU) has been engaged as an independent facilitator to support this work.

They want to understand which crime and community safety issues matter most to you.

To assist in setting priorities and shaping future actions, residents, workers, and business owners across the City are invited to complete a short online Community Safety Survey. Your feedback will help inform local strategies to improve safety and wellbeing for everyone.

The survey is open to people aged 15 years and over who live, work, or own a business in the City of Busselton.

Dear DDPA members.

We thought you might be interested in the City of Busselton community information evening to share details of about some upcoming coastal adaptation works planned for the Vincent Street and Bayview Crescent Foreshore in Dunsborough.

As the use of granite outcrops is a new option within the foreshore management program, the CoB would welcome the opportunity to spend some time with you explaining how these structures work and the proposed benefits they may offer. You are warmly invited to join the CoB at this information evening:

Thursday 19 March, 6.00pm – 7.30pm

Naturaliste Community Centre, 21 Dunsborough Lakes Drive, Dunsborough

If you’d like to attend, RSVP via the link below (registrations are essential).

We warmly invite you to our information evening. We'll share details of works planned for the Vincent Street and Bayview Crescent foreshore in Dunsborough.
