Member for Goulburn Pru Goward urged community groups, council, businesses and organisations to apply for a grant up to $250,000 for ideas to boost local safety and pride.
“The Community Safety Fund will invest in projects that address local crime hot spots and promotes safe and inclusive use of public space,” Ms Goward said.
“I know many people in our community have innovative ideas of how to make our community a safer place and I encourage them to take up this funding opportunity.
“The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government is committed to reducing crime and making our state a safer place to live.”
Minister for Justice and Police Troy Grant said crime is a social and financial burden that the NSW Government is committed to reducing.
“We know there is always more that can be done to stamp out crime in our towns and suburbs and are working with the community to identify opportunities,” Mr Grant said.
“The reasons and consequences of crime in one region of NSW can be very different to other regions therefore it is important to invest in local solutions.”
Attorney General Gabrielle Upton said the $10 million program over four years has already helped make local crime reduction ideas a reality.
“The NSW Government is proud to partner with the community to prevent crime.
