Business safety and security
Council and Victoria Police continue to work together to improve safety in the Sunshine Town Centre. Improving safety requires a collaborative approach where everyone plays a role.
What businesses can do
Businesses are the ‘eyes and ears’ of our community and it’s important to always report a crime by ringing 000. There are many ways that businesses can create a safer environment for staff and customers while decreasing the cost of crime to business.

Why presentation matters
- Attractive shops can increase the amount of customers who notice and enter a business
- Effective visual merchandising and appropriately branded shopfronts can have a clear and positive effect on sales
- A creative approach to shopfronts can help businesses get more out of their space without the need for expansion or renovations
