Committee is resourced by the City of Whittlesea’s Community Safety Officer and is co-chaired by the Local Area Commander of Victoria Police and the Director Community Services of City of Whittlesea. The CS&CP Committee agencies represent a range of community settings and population groups and work across the framework of crime prevention interventions. Members of the CS&CP Committee: City of Whittlesea (Aged and Disability, Youth Services, Community Inclusion, Parks and Open Space, Jobs and Investment, Community Wellbeing, Local Laws) Department of Justice and Regulation Hume Whittlesea Local Learning and Employment Network Neighbourhood Watch Northern Hospital Plenty Valley Community Health Uniting Care ReGen Victoria Police Whittlesea Community Connections Support and Advocacy Service The City of Whittlesea developed this Strategy in partnership with the CS&CP Committee through a serious of facilitated workshops exploring evidence, local research and data. Themes were identified and tailored actions were developed to address the community safety and crime prevention needs identified. Early on in these workshops the CS&CP Committee identified extensive work being undertaken that is locally focussed on family violence, including: the Whittlesea CALD Communities Family Violence Project the Project’ a prevention project working with the Iranian ‘Hamdel – community City of Whittlesea’s Family Violence and Gender Equity Strategies Other agency’s strategies and plans the work of specialist family violence services, Victoria Police and many other agencies The CS&CP Committee therefore concluded that this Strategy would not seek to include any additional actions to address family violence and as such includes a reference to implementation of the City of Whittlesea Family Violence Strategy. The Strategy will address engagement in crime and negative community perceptions of safety in partnership with the CS&CP Committee. Further, during development of this Strategy, Council resolved to establish a Road Safety Committee and develop a Road Safety Strategy. As such, the CS&CP Committee concluded that particular action to address road safety issues and crime would be articulated through the Road Safety Strategy and are therefore not included in this Strategy. This is a Council Strategy articulates the important work of Council but particularly emphasises the partnerships and collaboration required to undertake
