Wyndham City council pays for private security patrols for Truganina
“This is a ridiculous use of council resources. We are not a special security agency. These patrols carry the risk of damaging relations with Victoria police… and blur who is responsible for public security.”
He said that some of the inhabitants of some properties such as McIntry, Mambourine have already paid for their own private security.
“Will we return them? Will we offer patrol in every ward? Because if we do, costs will be tremendous,” he said.
Feedback to Wyndham’s draft budget showed that 43 percent of the participants opposed the hearing, while 34 percent wanted to keep in the proposed budget, and asked 23 percent to change.
However, Singh claimed that many opposition presentations at the Council meeting on Tuesday were “copy paste” answers.

He also rejected the criticism that the attempt ignored other parts of the municipality.
The proposed three different changes tried to hit or change the hearing of $ 372,000 from the budget. However, none of them were successful thanks to the opposition of the council members Shannon McGuire, Jennie Barrera, Maria King, Mayor Josh Gilligan and Mayor Mia Shaw.
The total budget was 8-3.
The Council’s Movement to finance private security patrols comes after financing a small handful of guards for the CBD after the Melbourne Municipal Assembly in the May budget.
A Wyndham City spokesman said that the council is still working through the application details, but it is not a new concept ”.
“In the context of Wyndham’s budget of $ 800 million, we have made a modest investment in a modest investment to try safety patrols for an area of the city as part of a wider community security program. Patrols are designed to address a void perceived in Victoria police resources,” they said.
“The hearing will be measurable and the results will return before the Council to determine the next steps.”
