Community Safety Month
Community Safety Month is held every October and reminds us that we all have a role to play in making our community a safer place to live, work and visit. Throughout the month, Council has curated a line-up of both practical and enjoyable activities.
We encourage everyone to participate in these events and learn how we can contribute to a safer community together.
