Feeling safe in Maroondah
Maroondah is a safe place to live, work and play and we’d like your help to keep it that way. In any activity, your personal safety and the safety of your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours should be everyone’s priority.
In developing our community vision Maroondah 2040: Our future together the community identified a strong desire for Maroondah to be a safe and welcoming city with safety continuing to be a key focus for Council.
We are committed to providing programs and services that support our community on important issues such as preventing family violence, reducing alcohol-related harm and perceptions of safety.
