The Community Safety Plan provides the foundation for a safe and thriving community. The plan guides the actions undertaken by Council, community agencies and the community to improve perceptions of safety and reduce the risk of crime and anti-social behaviour.
The Community Safety Plan is based on feedback that Council received from the community, community agencies, groups and other relevant stakeholders and was adopted by Council at its meeting on 24 August 2015.
What does the Community Safety Plan 2015-22 include?
The City of Greater Dandenong's vision for community safety is a diverse, safe and welcoming community, where all people feel included and respected.
The plan will work toward its vision by:

- enhancing safety, amenity and liveability in public places
- increasing safety for all road users and those who travel within and out of the municipality
