Mawson Lakes Safe Community Network

he Mawson Lakes Safe Community Network (MLSCN) was established 5 years ago by Delfin Lend Lease to work collaboratively with other key stakeholders to further support the development of safety promotion and injury prevention.

The network is a coalition of volunteers from the Mawson Lakes community including the University of SA, Endeavour College, Mawson Lakes School, SA Police, the Australian Safe Communities Foundation, local businesses and residents.

In December 2010, Mawson Lakes became the 2nd community in South Australia and 226th in the world to be designated as an International Safe Community by the World Health Organisation’s Collaborating Centre on Community Safety Promotion in Sweden.

This year the MLSCN is focusing on a new communication strategy to keep the community informed about important issues to do with injury prevention and community

Tsafety. This includes the promotion of SAPOL’s new e-Watch program and the use of injury and crime data to inform and improve preventative programs in the community. Secretary of MLSCN, Alan Peucker, said the network aims to engage more with the community, businesses and other organisations.

The Mawson Lakes Safe Community Network meets on the third Thursday of each month from 1.00 – 2.00pm in The Mawson Centre. Meetings are open to anyone in the community and people are most welcome to join the group.

For more information or if you can help in anyway, contact: Alan Peucker on 0432 336 955.
