The Victorian Government has announced grants of up to $250,000 for local councils to fund public safety infrastructure projects.

 

Victorian Minister for Crime Prevention Andrew McIntosh said the grants of up to $250,000 would support local councils in developing a variety of public safety infrastructure, including:

 

  • Closed circuit television  (CCTV) systems
  • Vandal-resistant external lighting systems
  • Security grade doors
  • Perimeter fencing
  • Bollards
  • Window treatments and screens
  • Alarms for community assets and facilities.

 

Mr McIntosh encouraged local councils to consider a wide range of options in developing applications for grants under the scheme.

 

The safety infrastructure grants form part of the Victorian Government’s $39 million community crime prevention agenda which includes Community Safety Fund and Graffiti Removal Grants to support local councils and community groups.
