Continued vandalism and the significant costs associated with repairs may impact the future availability of these facilities for community use.
Mayor Margaret Thomas stressed the impact of these actions, saying, “Every time we repair damaged public property, it’s money we can’t invest in positive community initiatives. Vandalism affects us all, and we’re asking everyone, young people, parents, and the wider community, if you see something, say something.”
To promote community awareness, the City is boosting its See Something, Say Something campaign, encouraging vigilance and reporting. This campaign supports the broader Eyes on the Street initiative led by Crimestoppers WA and WA Police, encouraging residents to be active in safeguarding their neighbourhoods.
The City through the Youth Action Kalamunda Team, continues to engage local youth through initiatives like the Skaters Meet and Greet program, where young people have the opportunity to connect with local Rangers and Police and build positive relationships with community role models.
Together, we can prevent vandalism and maintain a safe, welcoming community. Reports of suspicious activity or vandalism can be made by calling the Police at 13 1444, or by using the Eyes on the Street app, which provides a secure and easy way to report incidents.
