Safer communities
Inner-Melbourne’s residents deserve neighbourhoods where they can live, work and socialise safely.
We want a collaborative approach to addressing community safety in Melbourne. Working with the Victorian Government to strengthen safety initiatives, support for local partnerships that address mental health, youth engagement and social inclusion, and seeking prevention strategies that build trust, social cohesion and wellbeing as our population grows.
A safe Melbourne is a shared responsibility. M9 is leading a collaborative approach that brings together government, community, business and services.
M9 is calling for:
- Establishment of a formal Inner‑City Safety Partnership between Victoria Police, the Victorian Government and the M9 councils.
- Investment for ongoing, recurrent funding for assertive outreach in every M9 council.
- Commitment to deliver an additional 10,000 social homes across the M9 region in the next 15 years, supported by integrated wraparound services.
