Inner West Council recognises that community safety and community development are core responsibilities of local government. Council is committed to enhancing community safety and well-being.
Council works in partnership with police, local businesses, schools, churches, sporting clubs, other community and civic organisations, groups and individuals to ensure that Leichhardt is a safe, vibrant and enjoyable place for people to live, work, play and visit.
Council’s community safety and community development projects aim to increase safety through protective measures such as educational initiatives that boost awareness of specific types of crime and offer practical steps towards the prevention of such concerns.
