community development Local residents have been lobbying Council in relation to this issue with a resolution on the matter being delayed due to a range of contributing factors. Outcomes to Achieve A Special Electors meeting was held on the 7th April 2011 and was attended by almost 500 local residents. The outcomes of this meeting was that the City would prepare a Council Report which the main objectives to determine a Coastal Pool Working Group, the appointment of a Project Officer and a Architect. Furthermore the scope of the project is to be reviewed as well as potential funding options considered. The Council has resolved to prioritise this project. There are some financial constraints associated with this project with high development costs expected. Several development sites are also under consideration, with the Hamersley Golf Course being identified as a potential site. 1. 2. 3. 4. Introduce new and existing community programs to residents within the Local Area. Hold events which attract people from within and surrounding the Local Area, to help encourage community interaction. Target events and programs to people of all age groups, needs, interests and capabilities. Attracting City budget to improving community facilities, such as Community/Day Centres, Sports Clubrooms and reserve facilities. Safety and Crime The community consultation showed that one of the major issues for residents is Community Safety. The main concerns relate to anti-social behaviour and speeding/traffic offenses. The people with most concern regarding these issues however are those residents in Doubleview; whereas the Crime Statistics below show that this suburb has a much lower crime rate than other suburbs in the Local Area. The most common type of crime within the Local Area is assault and burglary. 5. 6. Continue to work closely with the WA police to help reduce crime in the Local Area. Integrate Crime Prevention Through Environmental design principles to road and house designs. Sometimes actual crime rates do not reflect the ‘perception of crime’ amongst residents. Some of the steps to combating this problem are to educate residents regarding crime prevention methods and to better connect residents with their community. There is research available which suggests that neighbourhoods that are more active in the community and take time to get to know their neighbours are more likely to feel safer within and outside their homes. The community plays an important role in local safety and security and must continue to report suspicious activities, crimes and problems to the Western Australian Police or the City’s security services. The City of Stirling’s Community Safety Business Unit facilitates the development of a safe and secure environment through the operation of a 24-hour security patrol service. As part of the ‘Safer Suburbs’ program, the City has initiated the ‘Hotspots’ initiative which patrols and monitors popular areas. This program is run in conjunction with the WA Police and has already encountered great success. The installation of CCTV systems in and around Scarborough Beach and the proposed Morris Place shopping centre are examples of such improvements. The City has also initiated the development of a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Policy. This policy will ensure that crime prevention has been considered in the design of all development applications to the City. Most principles are based on natural surveillance such as the use of low fences, lighting, street facing living areas as well as visible single entry points. Use of these methods act as a deterrent for criminal acts and anti-social behaviour, as well as better connecting homes to the streets. Such design principles should be adopted for all development applications and urban design projects. City of Stirling doubleview -innaloo - scarborough local area plan January 2012 17
