  • Bring people together and help develop community spirit
  • Report and encouraging others to report suspicious incidents to the Police
  • Distribute Neighbourhood Watch resources in their local areas
  • Promote crime prevention initiatives
  • Attend Neighbourhood Watch meetings where information is shared with the local Police
  • Increase communication and knowledge amongst neighbours
  • Provide a visible sign that residents care about their community

In November 2017, the Shire was one of the first local government authorities to be presented with the inaugural Neighbourhood Watch Gold Award for Participation by a Local Government Authority.   The award recognised the Shire’s positive contribution in supporting the program’s objectives in creating a safe place and preventing crime in the community.
