Victoria Police record every reported break-in by local government area. Greensborough sits in the City of Banyule, alongside Ivanhoe, Heidelberg, Rosanna and Watsonia. Here is the most recent full year.
Source: Crime Statistics Agency Victoria, LGA Criminal Incidents, year ending 31 March 2026 (released June 2026). Covers residential aggravated and non-aggravated burglary. Updated quarterly - check the latest figures.
Residential burglary across Greater Melbourne fell 14.7% in the year to March 2026, from 21,991 incidents to 18,761, and 29 of the 31 councils fell with it. Banyule was one of them. If you read somewhere that break-ins are surging, that page is quoting an older release.
The more useful pattern is where burglary happens rather than whether it's rising. Banyule ranks 14th of 31 Greater Melbourne councils on all recorded crime, but 9th on residential burglary. The same flip shows up right across Melbourne's wealthier east and bayside. Burglary follows what's inside the house, not the reputation of the postcode.
Greensborough was largely built through the 1970s and 80s on undulating ground above the Plenty River, with courts, sloping driveways and a lot of properties adjoining the river corridor or its tributary reserves.
The river reserve and its walking trails run along the rear of a significant number of Greensborough blocks. Unlit after dark, publicly accessible, and with no neighbouring property behind. It's the local equivalent of Wheelers Hill's parkland boundaries and it deserves the same priority.
A lot of Greensborough homes sit above or below street level with a steep drive. That means a camera at the street sees the top of a car and nothing else, and a camera at the house misses the approach entirely. Two positions usually beat one clever one.
Brick veneer, accessible roof cavities and generous eaves. Once the mounting positions are worked out, the actual cabling is straightforward, which keeps quotes at the lower end for the camera count.
Typical installed ranges for this part of Melbourne. Your exact figure depends on camera quality, cable runs and whether your roof cavity is accessible.
2 cameras covering the front door and driveway. The most common starting point.
4 cameras: front, rear and both side gates. Suits a typical 700sqm block.
6+ cameras for corner blocks, double-storey homes or larger rebuilds.

“Booked in fast, the installer explained everything clearly, and the price matched what I was quoted upfront.”
“Went from filling out the form to having cameras installed within the week - easy from start to finish.”
“Security Simon made getting a home camera quote so easy, the installer was professional and easy to work with.”
It's an unlit, publicly accessible boundary with no neighbour behind it, which removes any passive surveillance of your rear yard. Rear coverage is the usual starting point for those blocks.
