Member for Canning Andrew Hastie, wants local councils and community organisations to apply for a share of funding through the Safer Communities Fund.
There's $30 million in funding up for grabs through round three of the Morrison Government's Safer Communities Fund.
Local councils and community organisations are able to apply for up to $1 million to upgrade or implement crime prevention and security infrastructure.
Member for Canning Andrew Hastie said he wanted groups and councils in his electorate to apply for money.
“For many people crime, vandalism and anti-social behavior are a significant threat,” he said.
“The Safer Communities Fund is an important program that provides greater protection for our neighborhoods, clubs, and public spaces.
“Local councils and community organisation are invited to apply to the third round of funding for security enhancement infrastructure such as CCTV, bollards, lighting and crime prevention through environmental design initiatives.
“The Safer Communities Fund is part of the Coalition’s commitment to keep Australians safe.”
Following the success of the grants, the Coalition Government announced an addition $30 million in funding in May.
Assistant Minister for Home Affairs Alex Hawke announced the third round of funding.
“As well as the infrastructure stream, I’m excited to announce that the third round includes a separate early intervention stream for community organisations to deliver crime prevention or activity based youth engagement projects,” Mr Hawke said.
Applications for the infrastructure stream are now open and close on 25 September 2018.
