The aim of the City Safe plan is to improve safety in Auckland. The concept of safety includes both real and perceived perceptions
and concentrates on areas that prevent, reduce, and/or contain the social, environmental and intimidatory factors that affect the way
that people participate in their communities. The City Safe plan will be effective when research informs that a very large majority of
people interact in Auckland City without having a fear of crime, as well as believing that their community is a safe place to be.
The City Safe plan includes preventive measures that contribute to crime reduction. It does not include safety from injury or road
safety. Other council initiatives target safety from injury and road safety. These are
Communities Living Injury Free and
Road Safety. Consultation on the plan included both internal and
external stakeholders; including representation from across council as well as from groups such as the New Zealand police and a variety
of government departments, not for profit organisations, businesses and community groups.
The plan highlights the need to work with a variety of stakeholders to achieve appropriate and safe outcomes for Auckland City. Such
outcomes include a safe physical environment, as well as a responsiveness to issues associated with 'at risk' groups in the community.
The plan also provides a mechanism to measure improvements in safety as well as responding to new safety needs. This information will be
obtained from feedback through regular safety surveys.
The strands of the City Safe plan are as follows: Working together: A partnership approach; Safe places and spaces:
A safe environment; Living together: A welcoming and inclusive city; Having a voice: An informed and empowered community.
