Community Safety in Wyndham
Empowering Communities Grants Program: Wyndham Community Safety Grants
The Wyndham Community Safety Grants, part of the Empowering Communities Grants Program funded by the Victorian Government in 2021, officially concluded in mid-2024 after supporting local initiatives to address crime and improve community safety perceptions. The program strengthened community capacity, fostered stakeholder partnerships, engaged citizens, and established an evidence base for successful community development initiatives.
In total, $370,000 (State Government Funds) was awarded to safety projects focused on:
- Building a sense of community through safety, interfaith/intercultural understanding, and connections.
- Empowering children and young people by providing opportunities and support to make positive life choices.
Successful projects, undertaken by local community organisations, created a lasting impact on the Wyndham community.
A comprehensive overview including a snapshot summary detailing all program outcomes over the 2.5 years is available for download on our council webpage.
