Would your project benefit from a specialist ‘critical friend’ who is specifically focused on Council’s safety outcomes while you focus on quality project management?

Would your project benefit from a new way to facilitate cross portfolio discussions about community needs, emerging populations, perceptions and reality of safety and crime?

Strengthening the connection between great places and safe communities through reducing opportunity for criminal and anti-social behaviour

Creating safe, engaging and sustainable spaces is a major opportunity for Councils to create spaces that ‘speak’ to their community and encourages them to enter and participate.

CPTED is:
The design, planning and structure of physical spaces and infrastructure to reduce potential offenders from identifying opportunities to commit crime. By reducing the level of crime, or the fear that a crime may be committed within a physical space, space user confidence is increased.

CPTED assessments are based on agreed international principles and have been used to assess risk for over 50 years.

CPTED and environmental design can have a central role in:
• Assessing community, commercial and government space and place needs and expectations through a consistent and transparent framework
• Addressing stakeholder concerns regarding behaviours of current and anticipated users
• Aligning Council and local community outcomes for connected and resilient communities
• Connecting different Council portfolio areas and teams to work collegiately to address safety issues
• Understanding long term activation challenges for new spaces, and the potential threats that exist for not managing the change process
