Video 1: City of Belmont's RUAH Community Services’ Belmont Safeguarding Families Advocacy Service
The City of Belmont takes the issue of Family and Domestic Violence (FDV) very seriously and has invested significant amounts of money and resources into services such as the RUAH Community Services' Belmont Safe Guarding Families Advocacy Service since 2017.
This free service offers face-to-face or phone counselling to anybody living in the City of Belmont from 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday. To access this service, phone RUAH on 13 78 24.
Video 2: City of Belmont's Bicycle Registration Program
If you enjoy cycling, make sure you register your bike with the City of Belmont Bicycle Registration program. When you register your bike, you will receive a free bicycle lock (while stocks last) and peace of mind that you have taken steps to protect your property from theft.
If police find a bicycle that is lost or suspected stolen, they can check the registered database and, if registered, the bicycle can then be returned to the owner. The City’s Belmont Community Watch team can trace the owners of any abandoned bicycles they find.
Video 3: City of Belmont's Community Safety Taskforce Addresses Metal Theft
The sale of scrap metal is largely unregulated with little identification, traceability or sale controls required or implemented. As such the theft and sale of metal can flourish in a lucrative, ‘cash in hand’ environment.
In 2020, the City’s Community Safety Taskforce wrote to Police Minister Michelle Roberts to call on the Government to introduce new legislation to address the metal theft issue and the sale of scrap metal.
Following the letter, the Government subsequently introduced amendments so that sellers of copper are now required to produce identification and that licensed copper dealers are required to record all transactions and report details to police.
