Minister for Justice and Police Troy Grant said crime was a social and financial burden that the NSW government was committed to reducing. He said community engagement was an important aspect.
“We know there is always more that can be done to stamp out crime in our towns and suburbs and are working with the community to identify opportunities,” Mr Grant said.
The Community Safety Fund aims to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour through infrastructure, projects and inclusive use of public space.
