City Safety and Wellbeing

The City Safety and Wellbeing Plan is our renewed approach to safety in Pōneke. It outlines all the ways we hope to make the city safer and enhance the experiences for everyone who lives, works, and plays in Wellington.

The plan builds on strong existing relationships we have with police, local businesses, community organisations, and residents in our inner-city neighbourhood.
