INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The City of Subiaco aims to be a vibrant, safe and accessible city that is a desirable place for people to live, work and visit. The city supports community safety and crime prevention initiatives in the community.
Primary responsibility for law enforcement and crime prevention rests with State government agencies such as the Western Australian Police. However, local governments play a vital role in education, crime prevention and support.
To guide community safety and crime prevention activities, the city entered into a Community Safety and Crime Prevention Partnership Agreement with the State Government in 2004. This agreement was the foundation for the city’s first Community Safety and Crime Prevention Strategy (2006), which provided a framework for the delivery of community safety initiatives. The city has continued to develop community safety and crime prevention plans regularly. This plan replaces the Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 2014–2016.
The Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 2016–2020 outlines new initiatives that build on previous successes and further advance community safety in the city. The plan aims to identify measures of success for safety and crime prevention and foster an approach to community safety that is wholly embraced by the community and the city.
Integrated planning for the City of SubiacoIn accordance with the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework requirements identified in the regulations under S5.56(1) of the Local Government Act 1995 all local governments in Western Australia are required to produce a plan for the future. Organisations are required to develop a minimum of two key documents, including:
• Strategic Community Plan
• Corporate Business Plan
After extensive engagement with the community through the Think2030 visioning process, the city’s Strategic Community Plan was endorsed by council in April 2012. The Strategic Community Plan is being reviewed in 2016/17.
The city’s Corporate Business Plan integrates community aspirations identified in the Strategic Community Plan into local government operations and service delivery. This plan is the city’s contract with the community.
Focus areasSix focus areas were identified as part of the Think2030 visioning process and are documented in the Strategic Community Plan. They are:
1. Our sense of community
2. Parks, open spaces and places
3. A unique destination
4. The built environment
5. An effective and integrated transport system
6. Council leadership
The Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 2016-2020 aligns with focus areas one, three, four and five.
Objectives and strategiesEach focus area includes objectives that identify what the community wants to achieve and strategies to achieve these objectives.
CITY OF SUBIACO COMMUNITY AND CRIME PREVENTION PLAN | 5
Corporate Business Plan The Corporate Business Plan outlines the city’s key priorities and actions over the next four years. It is structured around the six key focus areas and establishes specific actions to achieve the objectives and strategies outlined in the Strategic Community Plan.
Informing strategies, issue-specific plans and operational plansThe Corporate Business Plan links through to a range of supporting and informing policies, strategies and plans. These plans are developed in strategic and operational areas and are integrated into the overall framework (Figure 1).
This plan is consistent with the requirements of Section 1.3(3) of the Local Government Act 2005;
‘in carrying out its functions a local government is to use its best endeavours to meet the needs of current and future generations through an integration of environmental protection, social advancement and economic prosperity’.
Monitoring, review and evaluationActions in this plan exist in the city’s Corporate Business Plan, are reflected in operational branch plans or stand alone in this plan. All actions are monitored and reported against on a regular basis. In accordance with the city’s Planning and Reporting Framework, progress of actions outlined only in this plan will be reviewed biennially and reported to the city’s executive leadership team. The city’s target is to achieve 80 per cent or more of the actions scheduled in each financial year, with achievements included in the City of Subiaco Annual Report. The plan is updated each year.
City of Perth Act 2016Taking effect on 1 July 2016, the City of Perth Act resulted in boundary changes to the City of Subiaco. The Act removed the suburbs of Nedlands and Crawley from City of Subiaco boundaries and reduced the city’s population by approximately 3000 residents. As crime and safety are often strongly related to location, these changes have an impact on the strategies in this plan.
Section 2.3 of this plan uses historical data to determine indicators for the success of future crime and safety initiatives. Where possible, data that reflects the modified boundaries and population has been used. However, in many cases data precisely reflecting the new boundaries is not available. The description of each indicator clearly identifies whether the data used reflects the boundaries before or after the City of Perth Act 2016 takes effect.

Section 1: Community safety in Subiaco
‘In matters of justice and the rule of law, an ounce of prevention is worth significantly more than a pound of cure… prevention is the first imperative of justice’ Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary General
A safe, crime-free community is an ideal everyone holds dear. In this section of the plan, the city has identified the most relevant statistics and evidence available to measure community safety in Subiaco since 2010 and over the course of the Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 2014-2016. Section 2 uses the same evidence to establish a traffic light indicator system to guide the use of resources moving forward.
In Western Australia, and in Subiaco, there are several organisations and levels of government working towards making our communities as safe as possible, namely:
• Western Australia Police
• Government of Western Australia
• Australian Federal Government
• several departments at the City of Subiaco
• non-governmental organisations.
The WA Police has the primary responsibility for crime reduction in WA. The police:
• respond to incidents of crime
• has the powers to apprehend and charge criminals
• is the expert on reducing crime.
The City of Subiaco falls under the jurisdiction of Wembley Police Station, which also responds to incidents in Cambridge, Vincent, Perth and Nedlands. Local government’s primary role in community safety and crime prevention is education and support, ensuring individuals can limit unsafe situations as much as possible. This is achieved through partnerships with specialist organisations, other local governments and the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA).
Emergency management and recoveryEmergency management and recovery is the system used in WA to manage large scale emergencies, such as a bushfires, severe storms and other emergencies. The Emergency Management Act 2005 outlines the responsibilities of different organisations in the event of an emergency, which identifies responsibility on local governments to:
1. establish an active Local Emergency Management Committee
2. prepare and maintain Local Emergency Management Arrangements and manage recovery activities within their districts
3. appoint a Local Recovery Coordinator for that purpose
In relation to items one and two above, the following local governments are part of a regional Local Emergency Management Committee and share a common set of Local Emergency Management Arrangements:
• Cambridge
• Claremont
• Cottesloe
• Mosman Park
• Nedlands
• Peppermint Grove
• Subiaco
• Vincent
These local governments have agreed to prepare Local Emergency Management Arrangements with the view that recovery is best managed by the local government in which the emergency has occurred. Therefore, there is a need for each local government to establish its own recovery plan.
Recovery is defined in the Act as:
“the support of emergency affected communities in the reconstruction and restoration of physical infrastructure, the environment and community, psychological and economic wellbeing”.
The city has developed a comprehensive plan and set of standard operating procedures to manage recovery from emergencies.

Crime ratesThe statistics below are provided to WALGA each month by WA Police.
Location information is provided at a suburb level (where a suburb is split among multiple local governments all crimes for that suburb are allocated to each of the local governments that claim any part of the suburb).
Any incident deemed ‘domestic’ by reporting police is not included and crime statistics are available only for reported crimes. Crime rates below are indicative of crime within the City of Subiaco, but may not be completely accurate.
Note: Criminal activity in an area is not the same as the number of crimes in an area. For example, one burglary where five items are stolen is captured as one burglary and five separate thefts, for a total of six crimes.
Crime statistics available to the city include the crime types below, as well as:
• sexual assaults
• deprivation of liberty
• graffiti
• traffic crash offenses
• disorderly conduct
• arson
• robbery.
The crime types above have not been included in these statistics due to the low rate of occurrence (generally less than one per cent of crime in Subiaco) or because they are addressed in other sections of this plan. Figure 2 demonstrates the occurrence of each crime, as well as trends in significant crime in the city since 2010.

Perceptions of safety Highly relevant to community safety is the perception of safety by residents. Perception is important because it is not sufficient that residents are unlikely to experience crime, residents must also feel safe completing day-to-day activities. Figure 3 shows the community perception of safety in Subiaco since 2013, in terms of percentage of the total population.

Crime prevention through environmental designThe planning and design of places, spaces and buildings is important in reducing crime and anti- social behaviour. People are less likely to behave anti-socially if they perceive themselves as standing out or being watched.
By improving lighting, fencing, landscaping or surveillance people are less likely to commit crime or demonstrate anti-social behaviour. These improvements can also increase the likelihood of an offender being caught or seen in the act and apprehended. Additionally, improvement in these areas improves public perceptions of safety.
It is important to note that crime cannot be entirely designed out of an environment, nor can all crime be addressed through environmental design.
Graffiti, vandalism and anti-social behaviour Three linked aspects of safety and crime prevention in public places are:
1. graffiti
2. vandalism
3. anti-social behaviour.
Of these crime types, the most common and easily measured is graffiti. To reduce graffiti the city began a graffiti removal service in 2007. Research suggests that an efficient graffiti removal service reduces the amount of new graffiti, so the service was intended to reduce new graffiti, as well as removing older graffiti. Figure 4 shows a reduction in the amount of graffiti removed per year since the service begun.

Streetscape conditionStreetscape appearance is also relevant to community safety and crime prevention. Active, well maintained streets have a lower crime rate, while unobserved or poorly maintained streets tend to have increased crime rates. The perceptions of streetscape condition are measured in this plan by community satisfaction. Figure 6 demonstrates the city’s history of community satisfaction with our streetscapes.

LightingWell-lit streets not only feel safer but they also improve passive surveillance, whereby a perpetrator is caught committing a crime by a passer-by. As a high percentage of crimes are crimes of opportunity, where perpetrators see a low-risk opportunity to commit a crime, increasing passive surveillance is a good way to reduce crime. Street lighting is measured in this plan by community satisfaction. Figure 7 demonstrates the city’s history of community satisfaction with our lighting.

Road safety programsWith a fatality rate of 6.2 per 100 000 in 2015, WA’s road fatality rate remains significantly higher than the national rate. In the metropolitan region, particular items of concern include pedestrian and motorcycle safety.
As shown by figure 8, road traffic accidents in the City of Subiaco are dominated by Property Damage Offenses (PDOs). However, road traffic accidents have claimed two lives and resulted in seventy-seven hospitalisations in the City of Subiaco between January 2010 and December 2014.
Black SpotThe city actively participates in the Black Spot program, which aims to improve road safety around WA. Blackspot is a State Government partnership that targets potential hazards such as intersections, mid-block sections and short sections of road. To measure how hazardous roads are, the city uses annual crash statistics that measure the severity of incidents and risk factors associated with these incidents.
Our street’s safety can also be measured through school students’ tendency to walk or cycle to school. As some of the more vulnerable members of our community, children will only walk or cycle to school if parents perceive the streets to be safe. To increase this perception of safety, the city supports schools to run Cycle to School Day and Walk to School Day events. Figure 9 demonstrates the high rates of cycling and walking to school that occur on special event days, compared to the rate of cycling on a random day throughout the year. Data is not available for the rate of walking to school on non-event days or for years in which events were not held.

2.2 Responding to new situationsDespite the proven history of the city’s ongoing crime and safety actions, there may be an unpredicted spike in one or more types of crime over the next four years. If this happens, WA Police may call on the city and other partners to develop actions, with the exact nature of these actions dependent on specific details such as:
• What type or types of crime are involved in the issue?
• Does the issue have ‘hotspots’, and where are they?
• What other actions are being taken in nearby areas or to address similar issues?
• Would improved public awareness assist in addressing the issue?
• Would improved reporting assist in addressing the issue?
• Which organisation/s are best placed to address the issue?
While a spike is unpredictable, it is possible that a similar spike has occurred elsewhere or in the past. As a result, the city has prepared a number of actions that can be implemented at short notice. These actions are consistent with the city’s role in safety and crime prevention and focus on education and support.
Responsive actions
Host community safety forums
Revisit the ‘Eyes on the Street’ training program
Create collaborative initiatives with other relevant organisations
Participate in relevant initiatives run by WA Police and WALGA, such as promotional safety campaigns
Creative solutions to prevent or reduce the occurrence of graffiti
Work internally and with stakeholders to improve city services in key areas
Provide advice and consultation to property owners on Crime Prevention through Environmental Design principles when a location susceptible to crime is identified
Promote the principles of crime prevention through environmental design with City of Subiaco residents
Conduct initiatives designed to encourage public use of streets
Community information campaigns

2.3 IndicatorsCrime and safety can change quickly, so it is critical that WA Police, the City of Subiaco and WALGA continue to measure these issues throughout the city. The following tables demonstrate the measures that will be used to determine the city’s safety in the future, compared to previous averages. It is acknowledged that primary responsibility for law enforcement and crime prevention rests with State Government agencies such as WA Police.
GreenGreen indicators will confirm that ongoing crime prevention activities, implemented by WA Police and the city, are keeping crime rates at or below the historical average.
AmberAmber indicators will see the city consult with WA Police and other stakeholders to consider and implement crime reduction measures if necessary.
RedShould red indicators occur, the city will work closely with WA Police and/or other stakeholders to immediately implement measures aimed at reducing crime.
The actions taken in response to amber or red indicators are listed in section 2.2.
Note: The crime statistics below, including the averages shown for periods before July 1 2016, reflect City of Subiaco boundaries as of 1 July 2016, when the City of Perth Act 2016 comes into effect. Crime rates will be measured on a quarterly basis. Other indicators reflect City of Subiaco boundaries before 1 July 2016, and their future results may differ based on the city’s changed population and boundaries from 1 July 2016 onwards. All percentages listed are percentages of the surveyed population. Perception indicators are measured on an annual basis.
2.3.1 Crime rate traffic light indicators, per quarterThe crime types listed are the most common crimes in the city. Crime rates for graffiti and traffic crash offences, while comparable to the below crime types, are addressed in indicators 2.3.3 and 2.3.7.

2.3.7 Traffic crash history, five year totalThe following figure demonstrates the traffic crash severity measures that will be considered a green, amber or red indicator in the future. This indicator is calculated in total over a five year period. The period used to set the indicator was January 2010 to December 2014 and the next period will be January 2011 to December 2015. This means that all traffic crashes between January 2011 and December 2014 will be captured in both sets of statistics. For example, if a fatality occurred in 2013, then the fatality will remain captured in the record until the five year period in 2014-2018.
Note: The amber and red indicators for minor property damage are not absolute, as the ranking will be dependent on the total number of incidents. If the number of more serious incidents is lower but the total number of incidents is the same or lower, a higher number of minor property damage may be considered a green light. However, if the total number of incidents increases, then a higher number of minor property damages may be an amber or red light.
Subiaco five year total traffic crash indicators are measured annually by Main Roads WA.

2.3.8 Rates of cycling and walking to school, annuallyData is currently not sufficiently accurate to establish an indicator on the rates of cycling and walking to school. However, one of the city’s ongoing actions is to improve monitoring of cycling and walking statistics, paying particular attention to students’ cycling and walking habits (Strategy 5.1.1 Additional Action 1). This action will be completed by the end of financial year 2017-18. It is anticipated that indicator 2.3.8 will therefore be established in 2018.
