Community Feeling

Neighbourhood Watch Program

Watergardens Town Centre has joined the state-wide crime prevention project to become the first shopping centre in the country to have a dedicated Neighbourhood Watch area. The program is about working together as a community to help combat crime at our workplace and in our Neighbourhood - so people can shop safely and relax in a secure environment.

Just ask our friendly Customer Service team if you require more information on the Watergardens Town Centre Neighbourhood Watch program, or pick up a brochure from the Customer Service Desk when you next visit us.
