North Beach community safety catch up
The City held a Community Safety engagement event at Charles Riley Reserve, North Beach in March as part of efforts to partner with local residents to better understand key issues and address reports of antisocial behaviour and pet-related concerns.
The initiative provided a platform for face-to-face conversations between locals and staff from the City’s engagement, community patrols and rangers teams over a free barbecue breakfast by the Lions Club of Stirling.
Residents shared valuable insights on local safety concerns, including reckless e-bike riding, speeding hotspots, and potential unlawful activities in nearby streets. City of Stirling Councillors were in attendance, highlighting the significance of local leadership in promoting safer public environments.
The City is committed to fostering a strong sense of safety by working collaboratively with the police, residents, community organisations and key stakeholders.
Community safety relies on understanding local issues, perceptions of safety, as well as active participation and ongoing communication. We encourage the community to remain vigilant and report incidents promptly or reports of antisocial behaviour.
