Risk Profile in Melbourne's South-East
As the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula, this suburb carries a different risk profile to the quieter pockets further along the coast. Break-in rates here run well above the state average, and the rate of motor vehicle theft and violent crime is also markedly higher than both the Victorian and national averages. Recorded criminal incidents in the local government area rose by close to 19% in the year to June 2025, driven largely by theft from motor vehicles and residential burglary.
Around 37,000 residents call the suburb home, and its mix of a major retail centre, a beachside foreshore, established residential streets, and pockets of active development means the security challenge changes block by block.
Along the Nepean Highway and Wells Street, the issues are retail theft, antisocial behaviour after dark, and pressure on late-trading venues around Bayside Shopping Centre. Closer to the foreshore and Kananook Creek, the concerns shift to unattended parkland after hours and unauthorised access on construction sites tied to the area's ongoing residential growth.
