Antisocial behaviour, crime and safety

The City is always looking for ways to make Subiaco even more livable, safe and accessible.

If you require assistance in keeping our community safe, please note the below channels to ensure the right organisations are contacted. Where criminal activity occurs, the City advises the public, as well as our own staff members, to contact WA Police on 131 444 for non-emergencies, or 000 in an emergency.

More information on the City’s approach to antisocial behaviour, crime and safety can be found in our Community Safety Framework.

Frequently asked questions about community safety

Antisocial behaviour refers to behaviour by a member of the public which causes or may cause harassment, alarm or distress to another member of the public. Examples of antisocial behaviour include trespassing, noise nuisance, uncontrolled animals, littering, and drug use.

The City is undertaking a number of proactive measures to discourage antisocial behaviour, including upgrades to public open spaces with increased night-time lighting, maintaining good working relationships with WA Police and referral agencies, and stationing responsive staff members out in in the field. The City also works closely with a volunteer outreach team, and provides support to rough sleeping community members at the City-supported Salvation Army Homelessness Services Team walk-in centre every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm at The Third Place on Barker Road, Subiaco.
