Victoria Police record every reported break-in by local government area. Rosanna sits in the City of Banyule, alongside Ivanhoe, Heidelberg, Greensborough 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.
Rosanna is largely post-war, on undulating ground between the Darebin Creek and the Banyule flats, with a station precinct that was rebuilt when the level crossing came out. Blocks are generous and a good many back onto reserve land.
The Darebin Creek corridor and the smaller reserves running through Rosanna put public open space behind a substantial number of back fences. No neighbour, no lighting, and walking trails through it. Rear coverage comes first on those blocks.
Rosanna's ground moves enough that a single standard mounting height across a house produces at least one useless camera. Installers who work the area set heights per elevation, which is the difference between footage you can identify someone from and a good view of the sky.
Level crossing removal altered traffic flow, parking and pedestrian routes around the station. If you're in those streets, the picture from five years ago no longer applies and it's worth looking at your frontage fresh.
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.”
Often slightly. Mounting positions need planning per elevation and cable runs can be longer, though Rosanna's post-war brick veneer construction is easy to work with, which offsets it.
