Community health and safety

Byron Shire Council has an ongoing commitment to improving community safety.

Our community safety work includes education campaigns, crime prevention, and designing public spaces to discourage anti-social behaviour. We also partner with NSW Police, businesses, and residents to make the Byron Shire a safer place.

Our Community Safety Plan

We are currently working on a new Community Safety Plan that explains the work we’re doing to create a safer community. You can read our previous plan below.

Safety in public spaces

How our public spaces are designed, used and maintained plays a big part in making people feel safe.
