Message from Lord Mayor: Safer City

Today the State Government released details on new measures to tackle anti-social behaviour and boost safety in the Perth CBD and Northbridge over Summer

Hello,

Today the State Government released details on new measures to tackle anti-social behaviour and boost safety in the Perth CBD and Northbridge over Summer.

It is something I have been calling for since elected as your Lord Mayor and I am pleased the State Government is listening to the City of Perth Council and to you, our ratepayers.

This is a win for our ongoing advocacy. It is a win for the City. It is a win for our ratepayers, residents, business owners and visitors.

It continues on from our successful advocacy for additional police resources for the City which saw an extra 100 police officers deployed to the CBD and Northbridge in September.

The State Government is listening to us and I thank all of you for contacting me over the past 12 months.

This announcement complements what the City has been doing over the past 16 months to make Perth a safer place to work, live and visit.

We all want a safer city and the announcement (below) is a big step in the right direction.
