Community Safety Awards

Nominations are now being invited for the 2010 Community Safety Awards!

The awards, established by Council in 2006 (with the support of the Holroyd Community Safety Committee) are held annually. They are open to not-for-profit groups and organisations which provide community-based services within Holroyd City.

The awards acknowledge and celebrate the initiatives undertaken by local groups to promote safe neighbourhoods and prevent crime. They also aim to stimulate further safety initiatives, foster partnerships and promote positive media stories.

Two prizes are awarded each year - a major prize of $1000 (and a commemorative plaque) and a minor prize of $250 (and a certificate of recognition).

Nominations should be submitted on the 2010 Nomination Form.

Schools, community groups, service providers, registered clubs and volunteer groups (that have made a significant contribution to community safety or crime prevention within the City) are encouraged to nominate for the awards.

Nominations for this year's awards open Monday 5 April 2010 and close on 14 May 2010.

Nominated projects/events/activities will be rated according to the following criteria:

  • Occurred during the past 12 months
  • Used an innovative approach or model
  • Demonstrated benefits to local residents
  • Contributed to crime prevention, neighbourhood safety or reduced fear of crime
  • Encouraged partnerships

The winners of the two awards will be formally announced during 2010 Local Government Week.
