City Safe plan
Contents
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 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.
