(Australian Institute of Criminology 1992. Crime Prevention Series) …crime prevention and community safety should be about providing people with half-decent things so that they don’t have to commit crime. (Year 9 student, Cosgrove High School, Glenorchy, 2000) i Acknowledgments This report is the culmination of a number of consultations that occurred in Glenorchy around the development of the Community Plan, Strategic Plan and for this Community Safety Strategy. I should like to acknowledge and thank those who gave freely of their time to discuss their views and experiences about crime prevention and community safety. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with the community of Glenorchy and I should like to acknowledge the strength, courage and wisdom of the people who are proud to live, work or visit in Glenorchy and care about its future. These people demonstrate that it is possible to keep the community strong and safe through caring for one another, working together in partnerships and wanting quality life for the people of Glenorchy. I should like to thank the Community Development and Participation Manager of the Council, Narelle Calphy, Mayor Terry Martin and the City Council for their assistance and support for this project and for the opportunity to be involved in this important work with the community of Glenorchy. Gwenn Murray ii Safe and Sound: building a strong and confident community. A Safer Community Strategy Executive Summary Introduction The Glenorchy City Council is a progressive organisation that exists to serve and work with the community in understanding intimately what must be done to meet the community‟s needs. It approaches this philosophy in an open and accountable fashion and by focussing on a two-way partnership with the community. It prides itself on its ability to listen to community representation, and strives to develop innovative and entrepreneurial solutions through good ideas. The Mayor, the Aldermen and the Council of Glenorchy work towards informing the community about issues and listening to their experiences in a response to address them. The development of a crime prevention and community safety strategy is an example of this. The recent development of the Community Plan prompted the Council to develop a Community Safety Strategy in response to safety issues that were raised during consultations. It is a consolidation of work undertaken since 1992 in response to crime and safety, with further research undertaken concerning crime and justice in Glenorchy. Methodology of the project and summary The project to develop a Community Safety Strategy was completed in three months and undertook the following methodology. Literature Contemporary crime prevention and community safety literature from Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States were reviewed and considered in order to understand current theory, causes of crime and programs.

  • Citylink Rail Southern Tasmania Transport Solution
    CITYLINK RAIL SOUTHERN TASMANIA TRANSPORT SOLUTION SUBMISSION TO THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT MARCH 2020 MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR KRISTIE JOHNSTON Glenorchy is on the cusp of an exciting future with more jobs and opportunities, and more people energised to help us be the best we can be. Glenorchy City Council is working with developers, partners and our people to grow the economy and make sure our city is a great place to live. Because we know the key to a thriving city is a reliable and efficient transport system, we are working hard to establish CityLink Rail as a priority. CityLink Rail will provide a reliable, efficient transport system along the already established Northern Suburbs Transit Corridor, to get people to work, to school, to the shops, to see the sights and home again. City Link Rail will link residents and visitors between Hobart and cities to its North, including New Town, Moonah, Glenorchy, Claremont, Bridgewater, Brighton and beyond. CityLink Rail will also encourage development, create jobs and reduce congestion on our roads. The Hobart City Deal, signed last year, allocated $25 million towards reactivating the Northern Suburbs Rail Corridor – an important first step forCityLink Rail. But, a further $125 million is needed to complete the CityLink Rail project between Hobart and Bridgewater. Together with other projects funded under the Hobart City Deal, including the $576 million Bridgewater Bridge upgrade, $82.3 million to bring international flights to Hobart Airport and $20 million to link Hobart to the South, CityLink Rail will see Greater Hobart connected to the world. This prospectus outlines opportunities for investment in CityLink Rail.

  • Glenorchy Parking Strategy 2017-2027 Was Finalised, to Include
    Glenorchy Parking Strategy 2017-2027 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council has recently recognised the need to review Council’s parking strategy for commercial precincts (named ‘Commercial Precincts Car Parking Plan’, November 2010) and develop a broader parking strategy for the City of Glenorchy. The development of this parking strategy has been a collaborative effort between Aldermen, Council staff and business representation from the Moonah Glenorchy Business Association. A working group was convened in June 2015 to oversee the preparation of this strategy. The development of the Strategy started with the review of all relevant documents and previous studies which had a focus on parking related issues in Glenorchy. Subsequent to the review phase, the issues in relation to parking in Glenorchy were discussed and investigated through the working group meetings and categorised into five different themes, being: Parking Infrastructure; Parking Management; Parking Enforcement; Parking Finance; and Parking Education. Subsequent to categorising these issues, a strategy statement was developed for each theme. Each strategy statement is framed to show Council’s vision of parking in Glenorchy in the future. Thereafter, issues associated with each strategy statement are detailed, followed by a list of actions to address those issues. Finally, each strategy is concluded by a summary of the objectives that the strategy is expected to achieve. The Parking Strategy is applicable to the area of the Glenorchy City Council and covers the period up to 2027. The Parking Strategy will be reviewed after five years to assess the progress of implementation and to make any changes to the Strategy as required.
