About This Project

Community safety and social inclusion is a priority for Brimbank City Council. It shapes how people interact in our neighbourhoods, streets, parks, community facilities and services. A safer and more inclusive Brimbank means better health outcomes, stronger social connections, and improved economic opportunities.

Community safety is a shared responsibility across all levels of government, police, service providers, grassroots organisations, business, and the individuals in the community.

The Draft Statement of Commitment for a Safe and Inclusive Brimbank outlines Council’s role and approach to community safety.

Council plays a primary prevention and early intervention role in community safety. This means we work to address underlying issues to prevent harm from occurring. For example, Council runs local programs and activities that encourage positive use of public spaces, such as community events, youth activities and social connection programs.

Council supports community safety and inclusion by advocating for local needs, maintaining safe public spaces and promoting community activation, and partnering with services to prevent harm and address underlying issues.

Get involved: Your voice matters!

We want to hear from you! Below you will see three separate tabs. You can choose to give feedback on one, two, or all the three strategic priority areas for a safe and inclusive Brimbank.

Your feedback will help us to continue building a Brimbank where everyone feels safe, included, and able to participate.
