  • Assist community members to create connections with others living in their neighbourhoods;
  • Increase the number of street activities happening in Kwinana;
  • Increase feelings of safety through increased levels of connection and passive surveillance;
  • Reduce feelings of isolation;
  • Identify community leaders and community assets; and
  • Build capacity of our community leaders.

Secure PL8

Secure PL8 is a joint initiative by WA Police and the City of Kwinana, supported by Neighbourhood Watch. It provides complimentary anti-theft screws and access to tools, helping the community make their number plates harder to steal and use illegally.

Stolen number plates can be a major inconvenience. Beyond the risk of your plates being used for criminal activity, replacing them also involves paperwork and potential fees. Lost or stolen state, district, or seasonal licence plates cannot be remade.

See when the next round of Secure PL8 starts

Community Safety Series

Every October, the City of Kwinana hosts the Community Safety Series—a yearly initiative focused on fostering a safer and more connected community.

This series includes interactive workshops, pop-up events, and access to subsidies that support safety initiatives. From home security tips to emergency preparedness and neighbourhood safety, there’s something of value for everyone who's involved.

Stay tuned for updates.Together, let’s build a safer Kwinana!
