Rosny shopping precinct receives funding support
CLARENCE City Council will receive significant Australian Government funding support to help make the Rosny Park shopping and bus precinct safer and more secure.
Senator Richard Colbeck said a $498,330 grant for the Council’s ‘Safety First at Rosny Park’ project under the round five community partnerships stream of the national community crime prevention program, on behalf of Federal Minister for Justice and Customs Senator David Johnston.

“These grants give proactive organisations - like the Clarence City Council - the opportunity to undertake specific crime prevention and community safety projects, just like this one,” Senator Colbeck said.

”I applaud the Council’s efforts to address community concerns about public safety through this project and am really pleased that the government has been able to fund it,” he said

The Safety First at Rosny Park project will enhance security, community safety and the public transport system at Rosny Park by providing a surveillance function, involving CCTV, to deter anti-social behaviour in and around buses and at identified ‘trouble-spots’.

The Tasmanian Liberal Senate team also announced that the Howard Government will provide $11,700 through the recreational community fishing grants program to build a new floating platform adjacent to the existing public launching ramp at Geilston Bay.

The new structure will replace an ineffective fixed platform that is in need of relocation and replacement to suit user needs.

The Geilston Bay project is one of 14 Tasmanian projects, totaling $720,000, funded under the most recent round of the program.
