The City of Armadale has developed a Community Safety Handbook to help promote a safer community. This Handbook can be easily downloaded below. Hard copies are also available from the City of Armadale Administration Centre or you can email csadministration@armadale.wa.gov.au to request that a hard copy be posted to you.
The City of Armadale CPTED pilot project is designed to reduce the opportunities of crime and to improvement in the quality of life in the entire City.
The four main principles of CPTED are Natural surveillance, Access control, Territorial reinforcement and Space management.

Security Incentive Scheme is now closed for 2023/2024 Financial Year
The City of Armadale's Security Incentive Scheme offers rebates to help residents improve the level of security within their home by installing security devices. Rebates up to the value of $200 (or $250 for approved concession card holders) are available for the following home security devices:
- Home intruder alarms
- CCTV systems
- Keyed window locks
- Security sensor lights
- Security screen doors
- Security window screens
- Roller shutters
- Video doorbells
- Meter Box Security
- Door deadlocks
Please note eligibility criteria have changed. Residents are now only eligible for a rebate every five years.
Please note that as this scheme has a limited budget, the City provides no guarantee that a security rebate can be provided to all applicants if the allocated budget is fully expended prior to the end of the financial year.
The funding for our Security Incentive Scheme has been exhausted and we are unable to accept new applications until the new financial year in July 2024.
