Community safety action plan

Takeaways

• Our local area is home to more than 220,000 residents, and over the past decade had one of the fastest-growing populations in NSW.
• On an average day, including visitors and students, it’s estimated there are more than 1.2 million people in the city. By 2030, the city’s population is estimated to grow by around 46%.
• Sydney is recognised internationally as a safe city. In 2016, PwC’s major comparative report on global city performance ranked metropolitan Sydney the third-highest of 30 cities around the world in health, safety and security. 
• Globally competitive cities are liveable cities, and safety is fundamental to the liveability of a city. The actual and perceived safety of our residents, businesses and visitors continues to be a priority for us.
• The NSW Government is responsible for law and order, public housing, health and public transport, and leads on responses to these issues.
