Community Safety and Security

Council recognises and celebrates the unique character of our region’s towns and villages and we are committed to fostering vibrant, accessible and welcoming communities.

An important part of our vision is a sense of safety. People’s perceptions of safety are strongly influenced by the communities they live in and has a significant impact on health and well being.

Crime Prevention and Safety

Council works together with a range of local authorities, organisations and local groups to provide a coordinated approach to community safety and crime prevention in the Snowy Valleys.

Council is committed to the ongoing education of children, young people and families, Councillors, and work participants about their rights, responsibilities and reporting processes relating to child protection.

Road Safety

Snowy Valleys Council plays an active role in road safety within our community by developing and implementing practical solutions to help reduce road incidents.
