Knox City Council has introduced the first phase of the Knox Empowering Communities project and is asking for the community to give feedback.

“As our local community, no one knows what crime and safety issues to address better than you. Therefore, the first phase of our project will be gathering your input and feedback,” Knox City Council said.

Council is asking what the main concerns for residents are, what contributes to or causes crime and safety issues, what can be done to address the causes and improve safety and any addition feedback regarding local safety and the project.

“Your feedback and ideas will directly inform and help design a grants program that will be available for community groups and organisations later this year,” council said.

“The Knox Empowering Communities project is funded by the Victorian Government’s Empowering Communities initiative as part of the Building Safer Communities Program and will support community designed and delivered initiatives as part of our grants program, that address local safety in Knox.”
