Forum 3000 : Safety, Street Waste & Grafitti

Our guest speakers from the City of Melbourne and Victoria Police work cooperatively on the important issues of safety, street waste and graffiti in public places. They will present updates on their current activities, and insights which explore how city cleanliness and policing interact and relate to perceptions of public safety and amenity for visitors, workers, and residents living in the city.

• Vince Macolino, Director Waste and Recycling, Infrastructure & Amenity, City of Melbourne
• Steven Pilinis, Manager, Clean City, City of Melbourne
• Dean Robertson, Director City Safety Security and Amenity, City of Melbourne
• Anthony Johnson, Acting Inspector, Melbourne East Local Area Commander, Victoria Police
• Arthur Makridis, Acting Sergeant, Neighbourhood Policing Co-Ordinator, Victoria Police

There will be plenty of opportunities for questions and comments from the audience, to be answered by the guest speakers either during the question-and-answer session, or in the social session afterwards.

This is an event not to be missed for the usual lively debates on how waste collection, graffiti, tagging, general cleanliness and safety can be improved within our city neighbourhoods.
