Community Safety

Leichhardt Council is committed to enhancing community safety. Community safety is as much about the way people feel in our community as it is about the level of crime.

Leichhardt Council works in partnership with police, businesses, community groups and individuals to ensure that Leichhardt is a safe, vibrant and enjoyable place for people to live, work, play and visit.

Council’s 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 reducing victimization.
