Penrith City Council is prioritising safety across the Penrith LGA by seeking the community’s feedback for the Community Safety Plan 2023-2027.
You are invited to have your say and help contribute to a safe, welcoming and vibrant City through a series of community consultation pop-ups and the opportunity to complete a survey online.
Penrith Mayor Tricia Hitchen welcomed the opportunity for community engagement and said it would provide residents of the Penrith LGA the chance to have their voice heard on the safety issues that concern them in their community.
“We aim to have a City where people can lead fulfilling and vibrant lives with their family, neighbours and friends,” Cr Hitchen said.
“Engaging with the community to hear their safety concerns is of the utmost importance. We want to understand our residents' needs and are committed to working together with our community, local businesses, Police and local services providers on a new Community Safety Plan for 2023-2027.
“I encourage the community to get involved, whether they attend a community consultation pop-up or by participating in the survey online.”
Building on the foundations of Penrith’s Community Safety Plan 2018-22, and previous Community Safety Plans, Penrith City Council is developing a new Community Safety Plan that will capture and respond to the local data, stories, experiences and the needs of the community.
