These are the top local priorities you've told us are important for Inglewood.
"Preventing break-ins."
Community Patrols actively patrol the suburb of Inglewood. Targeted patrols can be activated for officers to attend specific areas at times requested by residents.
The City currently operates 19 Ranger Service vehicles between 7.00am and 7.00pm, Monday to Sunday, with four Community Patrol vehicles operating 24/7, 365 days a year. Patrol locations and equipment deployment are guided by data, rather than a blanket approach, ensuring resources are focused on areas of greatest need.
This includes the ability to increase the number of Community Patrol vehicles to up to seven during priority times. The City also offers a Safer Suburbs rebate, which supports residents to install CCTV and other security-related equipment to help secure their property and discourage break-ins.
To report suspicious behaviour, call the City's Community Patrol on 1300 365 356 (24/7 services) or report online.

"Ensure that the Beaufort Street crossing at the library is safe. Too many drivers go through red lights and exceed the 40 km/h speed limit."
This matter was raised at the Council meeting on 10 June 2025, with the Mayor to write to the Minister for Transport and the Member for Maylands to request a review of options to improve safety at the crossing.

"Underground power, which will hopefully deliver better street lighting! Some streets are very gloomy and unsafe at night."
"Underground power to help preserve street trees, improve the environment."
The Underground Power Program is determined by Western Power based on the condition of assets, with a link to the program available on the City's website.
"Native plants for local wildlife."
"Maintaining green space and tree canopy. Halt subdivision which is deleting trees and changing the character of the neighbourhood (traffic, density, hardscaping, etc)"
The City is committed to managing our parks and reserves to maximise their value for local wildlife. During the 2024/25 budget cycle, the City trialled a range of new planting techniques to promote biodiversity, provide forage for endangered species, and create new habitat. This work will continue in the 2025/26 financial year.
