2026 CBCity Community Safety Perception Survey

Community Safety Survey

Council is inviting community members to share their experiences and perspectives on safety in our area.

Your feedback will help us better understand what makes people feel safe, identify local concerns and address both real and perceived issues related to crime and public safety.

The insights gathered from this survey will guide Council in developing practical initiatives and actions to improve safety and ensure everyone feels secure where they live, work, study and spend time in our City.

We encourage all residents to participate and have their say. Complete the survey to go in the draw to win a $200 Coles Myer Gift Card.
