Community Safety Month

Melton City Council is committed to increasing safety in the municipality through Community Safety initiatives. 

Community Safety Month is an annual event held every October and reminds us that we all have a role in making our communities safer.

The campaign shines a spotlight on a number of community safety issues, including personal safety, cyber safety and mental health and wellbeing.  

If you have an idea for any community safety initiatives or would like more information, contact our Healthy Connected Communities Team on 9747 7200.

To stay up to date with events and activities, like us on facebook: facebook.com/healthymelton.

We are encouraging residents to help build a safer and stronger community by taking part in Community Safety Month events in October.

Community Safety Month covers a number of community safety issues, including personal safety and wellbeing, car safety and knowing first aid in case of an emergency.
