Council Infrastructure Grants Public Safety Infrastructure Grants

Round One – Outcome of Applications announced 12 April 2012.

 

The Public Safety Infrastructure Fund Grants Program

The Public Safety Infrastructure Fund provides local councils with grants of up to $250,000 to help develop public safety and security infrastructure designed to improve community safety and confidence in public places.

The design of environments has an important role in reducing opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour and in promoting safer and more accessible public places that encourage legitimate community use. Measures to improve the safety of public places include improving lighting, improving opportunities for natural surveillance, increasing amenity and public use and improving access to and from public places.

Outcomes of the first round of Grants

The government has funded 24 projects in local government areas across Victoria. Eighteen projects support safer design of public places to reduce opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour. Six projects will fund public place CCTV systems.
