FORRESTFIELD police have commended the establishment of the Hawaiian neighbourhood chats group bringing together a diverse cross-section of local stakeholders to develop informed solutions to local issues.

The new community group, which met earlier last month, includes representatives from schools, businesses, community organisations, the City of Kalamunda, and Forrestfield Police.

Forrestfield Police OIC Brad Robinson, said the initiative being driven by Hawaiian was an excellent idea.

“It brings everyone together, connecting them, and all striving for the same thing: a safe, secure community.

“Making sure we have the right people connected at the right time is critical. I’m impressed with the effort Hawaiian is making to deepen its commitment to the community,” he said.

The chat group’s aim is straightforward yet impactful: to gather the right people in the same room to identify key challenges and work collaboratively on sustainable, practical solutions.

“These meetings serve as a valuable platform for inclusive discussion, ensuring every voice in the community is heard and respected,” OIC Robinson said.

At the recent Neighbourhood Chats’ session, key discussions focused on how Hawaiian could enhance awareness of and access to local services such as community groups and organisations.

Recognising the evolving needs of the neighbourhood, the group also explored ways to foster long-term community engagement by discussing opportunities for residents to actively participate in place-making activities and initiatives.

Additionally, participants highlighted the need to improve accessibility and public transport infrastructure,
