In conclusion, the results reported in the March 2013 ACT criminal justice statistical profile are important to acknowledge, particularly when we see such a positive impact on our community’s perceptions of crime. Perceptions of crime are important. Perceptions of community safety are important. They are important not just from a statistical perspective; they are important because they impact on our sense of wellbeing. If people do not feel safe, even if that feeling is not necessarily entirely based on the evidence, they are less likely to participate as broadly as they otherwise would in the community. Therefore, this government remains committed to ensuring that residents benefit from living in a very safe and fair community and that we all have the confidence to participate fully in community life.

Improvements to pedestrian and vehicle connections are to be achieved while ensuring the character of the centre is retained.
Variation 311 also rezones a parcel of unleased territory land that is currently used as a public car park. The zoning changes from commercial CZ1 core to CZ3 services and introduces a public land overlay for urban open space over part of the same block. Variation 311 provides an opportunity for government and the private sector to deliver the vision proposed by the Dickson centre master plan.
