About Us
Neighbourhood Watch is a
community based crime prevention program which is aimed at reducing the
incidence of preventable crime, and providing a safer community. Detailed
information about the program is available on the Neighbourhood Watch Victoria website.
STN 1 (Stonnington
Area 1) Neighbourhood Watch is in the Melbourne
suburb of South Yarra and is bounded by Williams Road, Toorak Road, Kensington Road, Rockley Road, Cromwell Road and
Motherwell Street.
(Street map)
This area of Neighbourhood Watch has been continuously active since it was
launched on April 17, 1984. It comprises some 2000 mixed dwelling homes and
includes the Hawksburn Railway Station.
The traditional owners of this area of Melbourne
are the Woiworung people, who are members of the
Kulin Nation.
In 1983 (before Neighbourhood Watch was established) the total reported crime
for the area was 297. Despite the general increased crime rate over the last
18 years, the STN 1 area of Neighbourhood Watch now has a reported crime rate
of about 200 per year.
Residential burglary, theft of cars and theft from cars account for the vast
majority of reported crime in the area.
STN 1 Neighbourhood Watch has a committee of management and 16 volunteer Zone
Representatives who deliver a monthly newsletter to residents.
Residents meetings are held bi-monthly on the first Tuesday of the month at
7.45pm at the Prahran Police Station, 396 Malvern Road, Prahran. The meetings
are attended by the Prahran Police Liaison Officer who provides information
on current crime trends and assists in overcoming any crime problems which
are raised by residents.
Details of the next meeting are in the latest edition of the newsletter.
