Following an extensive community consultation in October this year, Council resolved to continue the patrol service in The Vines for three years but not reinstate a community security patrol in Ellenbrook at the December Ordinary Council Meeting.
The City of Swan will undertake a competitive tender process for a 24 hours a day, seven days a week, service from July 1, 2022.
Property owners in The Vines will be asked to provide feedback again at the two-year mark and prior to the service continuing beyond its contract.
This service is cost neutral to other ratepayers who are not in The Vines.
Community safety is a key priority in the City's Strategic Community Plan. The City provides a range of crime prevention and community safety initiatives in The Vines and Ellenbrook, in partnership with WA Police and local community groups.
