148 Waverley Council Access and Equity Activities 2005/2006 General (continued) Dept Page No Community Safety Audit complete. L&CS 116 Community Safety Audits of the Bondi Beach Place Management Area were conducted on15 September 2005 (7.00pm-8:30pm), 2 December 2005 (11.00pm-12:30am) and 27 April 2006 (8.00pm-11pm). The Bondi and Beaches Divisional Manager and Eastern Suburbs Crime Prevention Police Officer undertook these audits. A representative from the Bondi Beach Precinct Committee also attended the April 2006 Audit. The safety audits include assessing the ‘look and feel’ of the area using safety by design principles. A report is developed providing a summary of the evening as well as listing any significant issues, which are promptly addressed by the relevant authorities. Issues identified include street lighting repairs, trimming of trees that cause shadowing, compliance matters, waste management issues and suggested improvements to traffic related matters. The audit also identifies any requirements for early intervention programs to prevent crime and improve the perception of safety in the area. eg the development of projects working in partnership with the Liquor Accord like ‘night without a fight’ or an education program targeting vulnerable groups such as youth. The information collected from the safety audits has also supported Council applications to the Attorney General’s Department for grants to develop and deliver safety and crime prevention projects such as those mentioned above. It has also assisted the Police and Council to pro-actively address issues before they escalate. Specific strategies in the Waverley Community Safety Plan for L&CS 116, 123 Bondi progressed. In 2004/05, the first year of implementation of its Community Safety Plan, Council undertook three major projects: the development of a youth protocol for Bondi Junction, the development of a homeless persons protocol, and development of a model strategy for promoting safe celebrations at Bondi Beach over Christmas/ New Year. A comprehensive campaign promoting safety in celebrations at Bondi Beach over the Christmas/ New Year period was implemented in December. Based on the successful model developed in 2004, the Safe Summer in Bondi campaign combined education (advertising campaign), enforcement (alcohol fee zones) and environment (providing safe, alternative events for target groups) to manage crowds and alcohol consumption and provide safe and inclusive events for different groups. Events included: Sunbeats with DJ Judge Jules at Bondi Pavilion on Christmas Day, and DJ Fatboy Slim at the Pavilion on New Year’s Eve complemented by a family oriented event at Dudley Page Reserve. A booklet, Safe Summer in Bondi provided an attractive means for distributing information about the program. It included information about events for different groups, activities for kids, alcohol free zones, public transport, safe summer parties, surf safety, sun protection, traffic and road closure information, noise complaint hotline, emergency contact telephone numbers etc. The booklet was widely distributed through cafes, shops, clubs, pubs, backpacker hostels, Waverley Library, Bondi Pavilion, Council Chambers, and a letter box drop to residents.
