The Rocks / Tallawoladah Women's Safety Strategy
The Rocks | Tallawoladah Women’s Safety Strategy provides an actionable framework to improve the enjoyment and engagement of women, girls and gender diverse people by enhancing their sense of belonging and improving safety and access to public spaces in the precinct. Delivering the actions identified in this Strategy will make The Rocks a safer place for all people to enjoy.
