1.0 Introduction

1.1 Purpose of Report

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) provides a foundation for problem

solving using the principles of environmental design to lessen the opportunity for crime. This is

achieved through a variety of measures with the aim of CPTED being to:

• Increase the risk to offenders and likelihood of being caught

• Increase the effort required to commit a crime

• Decrease the reward and perceived benefit of crime

• Remove the excuses by removing conditions that encourage/facilitate rationalism of

inappropriate behaviour.

Under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act), a

consent authority is required to take into consideration certain matters when determining a

development application (DA). This includes s79C(b) of the EP&A Act, ‘the likely impacts of that

development, including environmental impacts on both the natural and built environments, and

social and economic impacts in the locality’ and s79C(e) of the EP&A Act, ‘the public interest’.

The elements of CPTED considered within this report relate to:

1. Surveillance

2. Access Control

3. Territorial Reinforcement

4. Activity and Space Management

The proposed development is located within the Marsden Park Industrial Precinct forming part of

the North West Priority Growth Area. This CPTED report has been prepared to review the design

of residential flat buildings and consider how the proposal achieves the principles of CPTED to

minimise the opportunity for crime.

1.2 Tasks undertaken

The following tasks were undertaken in the preparation of this CPTED report:

• Review of architectural plans prepared by Architex

• Review of CPTED information provided by NSW Police – Safer by Design

• Meeting with Sue Carter (NSW Police) on 5th July 2017 – A summary of key issues from

this meeting is listed at section 1.3 of this Report.

• Review and completion of NSW Police Checklist.

• Assessment of the development against the CPTED elements and items listed in the

checklist provided by NSW Police.

CPTED Assessment


1.3 NSW Police Meeting – Summary of key issues

A meeting was held with NSW Police on 5th July 2017 (Sue Carter) to discuss relevant matters to

consider on DAs for residential flat buildings. The key matters raised to be reviewed as part of the

overall CPTED assessment are listed below.

• Design and location of mailboxes

• Installation of CCTV

• Graffiti resistant coating

• Fencing and other barriers to restrict access into and through the site

• Security to ground floor units (lighting, patio bolts, fencing)

• Style of fencing (not to facilitate climbing)

• Lighting around the site

• Security within the car park and to individual car parking spaces

• Identification of the site for emergency personnel and maps for orientation.

Where these details are not known at the time the DA is assessed, appropriate conditions have

been recommended for this information to be provided at a later stage. This includes either prior

to the issue of a Construction Certificate or Occupation Certificate condition matters.

2.0 The Site

2.1 Site Location and Description

The site is situated within the Marsden Park Industrial Precinct forming part of the NSW

Government’s North West Priority Land Release Area. A masterplan has been prepared to

develop Lot 30, DP 262886, South Street, Marsden Park which is comprised of various DAs.

The subject site (Lot 30) is illustrated within Figure 1.

Source: Six maps

Figure 1 Subject site

The area will ultimately be redeveloped in accordance with the Marsden Park Industrial Indicative Layout Plan (ILP) shown at Figure 2. Key features of the locality surrounding the subject site include:

• South Street (sub-arterial) is located along the northern boundary to future Lot 2. This road continues eastwards and connects into Richmond Road.

• Future medium density residential development to the east along South Street and to the north opposite the site.

• Future business use development (B7 zone) located to the south and west of the subject sites.

• A future drainage basin located within Lot 30 in the north-east corner of the site.

CPTED Assessment


• A large regional recreational facility to the north. Access to this area will ultimately be provided approximately 400m to the west of the site along an RE1 corridor.

• The future Marsden Park Town Centre located eastwards along South Street approximately 800m away.

The area has already undergone significant change from the previous rural land uses particularly

within the industrial zoned areas of the Precinct. This includes the construction of the Sydney

Business Park with a number of large format businesses located within the Precinct including

Ikea, Bunnings, Costco and Master’s. Generally, the residential and business zoned areas are

yet to be developed.

As the area continues to change, the anticipated crime patterns within the area will also change

as the area develops and intensifies.

Vehicle and pedestrian access to each development is provided from the permiter roads to be

constructed around the individual developments. Internal walkways are also provided through the

site and to connect different blocks within the development where building blocks are not

proposed to be separated by a local roads.

CPTED Assessment


4.0 CPTED principles

This section of the report assesses the different elements of CPTED which relate to:

1. Surveillance

2. Access Control

3. Territorial Reinforcement

4. Activity and Space Management

These elements have been assessed in relation to the overall development of the site and

individual DAs proposed within the masterplan. This report then highlights recommendations

proposed generally across each of the developments.

A separate NSW Police CPTED checklist has also been prepared for each individual development

(Appendix A to C). These checklists provide a more detailed review relating to various aspects

of the development NSW Police consider to be key elements to assist in addressing crime and

security at the site.

4.1 Surveillance

Surveillance can assist in deterring criminal behaviour. This includes the opportunity to see and

to be seen. There are three levels of surveillance which include:

• Natural surveillance

• Technical / Mechanical

• Formal surveillance

Table 2 outlines matters considered in relation to surveillance and how they relate to the proposed

residential flat buildings.

Table 2 Summary of key surveillance elements

Comments

DESIGN The buildings have been oriented to overlook the perimeter streets and central courtyards to provide passive surveillance opportunities. This includes locating balconies along these elevations and ground floor courtyards.

Residents are encouraged to use the communal open space areas including BBQ areas located centrally within the sites and between buildings blocks. This encourages surveillance by residents and an ownership of this space. These areas also overlook the building entries within future Lot 3, 4, 5 and 6 which are located internally within the design.

A review of the ground level courtyard fencing has been undertaken within the CPTED checklist for each development attached at Appendix A to C.

CPTED Assessment


Fencing is proposed around the ground level courtyards. However, some fencing is proposed in the form of horizontal slats.

Recommended: Where horizontal slat fencing is proposed within the ground level fencing design, the plans should be updated prior to the release of CC to replace these with vertical palisade fencing as this reduces opportunities for climbing.

Passive surveillance along the surrounding local roads will be provided by local traffic within the area and pedestrians. Due to the number of developments going on in the locality, there is anticipated to be an increase in the number of resident’s movements (both walking and driving), particularly when the Marsden Park Town Centre is developed.

Foyer entries will be constructed of glazing to allow for a line of sight into the building and opportunities for surveillance. However, the design and location of some entry foyers are positioned internally within the development (i.e. Future Lot 3, Block A and B, Future Lot 6, Block A and B).

Recommended: If changes are proposed to the building, it is recommended that the foyers of the building (Future Lot 3, Block A and B, Future Lot 6, Block A and B) be reviewed and amended to orientate these entry foyers from the street (rather than from internally within the development).

All pathways through the site and leading into the building foyers will be illuminated for safety during night time periods.

The developments have been designed with a number of internal pathways both through and connecting blocks within each development. No shrub landscaping should be planted adjoining these pathways which would provide opportunities for people to hide.

The carparks will be illuminated to provide for increased visibility within this area.

Units are accessed off internal corridors. These corridors are generally straight and provide for a line of sight along the full corridor.

Bike storage has not been identified on the submitted plans.

Recommended: The CC documentation should demonstrate how the bike storage area will be secured with materials that also allow for surveillance opportunities (i.e. steel mesh fencing)

CCTV AND FORMAL SURVEILLANCE

Risk assessments should be carried out by the Building Manager or appointed security firm periodically.

NSW Police require CCTV within the development. CCTV surveillance systems are to be placed in all car park facilities, stairways, lifts, foyers, entry/exit points, loading bays and near to waste and near mail box facilities.

Recommended: A security plan should be provided prior to the release of the CC. This plan should identify the location, type and number of CCTV systems within each development to be installed. The CCTV should provide surveillance over all car park facilities, stairways, lifts, foyers, entry/exit points, loading bays and near to waste and near mail box facilities.

The Building Manager or appointed security firm will monitor the CCTV surveillance systems and provide surveillance footage to the NSW Police in a timely manner if requested.

CPTED Assessment


Appropriate signage will be installed to let residents and visitors know that CCTV surveillance is in operation at the site.

LANDSCAPING The architectural plans nominate the locations of deep soil zones to support larger plantings around the site. Detailed landscaping plans have not been reviewed.

The deep soil zones are generally located around the perimeter of the building. Shrub plantings should not be used adjacent to footpaths and should not provide opportunities for people to hide between.

Street trees will be planted along all street boundaries and typically within the nominated deep soil zones.

LIGHTING Provision of appropriate lighting internally and externally contributes to a more secure atmosphere and space. The appropriate lighting will potentially decrease opportunities for crime to occur and provide residents and community members with a sense of safety and a greater understanding of the environment at night.

Adequate lighting will improve natural surveillance and assist to direct people around the site by encouraging movements to particular areas that will be lit. It will also help to orientate people to entry/exit points, footpaths and to highlight signage from the street.

Carpark lighting will confirm to the relevant Australian Standards.

Lighting will be further clarified as part of the CC documentation.

Recommended: A lighting plan be provided prior to the release of the CC. This plan should demonstrate how that the following areas will be lit to support surveillance opportunities:

• Entry/exit areas

• Internal pathways through the site and externally leading up to the building entry

• Throughout the car park

• Motion sensors to ground floor courtyards

• The street number of the building to identify the site.

MAILBOXES CCTV is proposed to provide surveillance of the foyer and mailbox area for additional security.

Details of the mailbox arrangements are unknown and need to be clarified prior to the release of the CC.

Mailboxes should be located in areas where surveillance can be provided. This includes both natural surveillance and formal surveillance from CCTV. It is anticipated that mailboxes will be provided within the foyer of the buildings with Australia Post typically requiring sightlines to their motorcycle if entering a building to deliver mail. Future Lot 3, Block A and B & Future Lot 6, Block A and B have been designed with the internal foyer located centrally within the development which is not visible from any street frontage. This may require further review and redesign if Australia Post will not service mailboxes within the foyers of these buildings.

Recommended: Early discussion with Australia Post is recommended in relation to the location of the mailboxes for Future Lot 3, Block A and B & Future Lot 6, Block A and B to ensure the location of mailboxes within the foyers of these blocks can be serviced by Australia Post. Alternatively, the mailboxes should be located within an area that has surveillance

CPTED Assessment


opportunities, and is located within a secure area of the development requiring swipe card access to etc.

Recommended: A condition of consent be imposed prior to CC that for mailboxes located within the building foyer, a key lock is shown on the plans near the building entry intercom and that arrangements are made with Australian Post to purchase a cylindrical key lock to facilitate access to the foyer.

VANDALISM & GRAFFITI

The development includes some blank walls facing the street which could become a target for graffitists (i.e. base fencing to ground level courtyards and concrete panels within ground level elevation.

Recommended: All ground level materials should be painted in a graffiti resistant coating and landscaping be provided in front of walls fronting the perimeter roads to discourage access for graffiti.

4.2 Access Control

Access control is used to attract, channel, encourage and restrict people and vehicles into,

throughout and out of an area. The environment within an area should provide cues in relation to

access control which can include: landscaping, barriers and personnel.

Key access control measures have been outlined in Table 3 below.

Table 3 Summary of key access control elements

Comments

BARRIERS / ACCESS

The developments include multi-level basement car parks.

Barriers to the proposed car parking areas will be provided in the form of gates / roller shutters with secure access provided to residents of each building. These barriers, coupled with signage, CCTV and lighting, will help to deter people from entering the basement areas.

Recommended: The location of barriers to the car park should be nominated on the plans prior to the release of the CC. The location should allow for some queuing to avoid vehicles being queued on the road.

Access to internal areas of the buildings are controlled by electronic access systems to ensure a clear delineation between the different aspects of the development. Access for visitors to the residential areas should be provided via intercom to apartments requiring someone within the building to let them in.

A key concern of the NSW Police relating to the developments is unauthorised access internally within the developments (i.e. through the site and within common open space areas, not just within the buildings). To address this, palisade fencing is recommended to be installed around the perimeter of each site with gates to provide secure access into each development for residents (i.e. through swipe cards, etc). This is to deter people who should not be at the site from accessing the common areas and internal areas of the development.

Recommended: Perimeter fencing should be installed to restrict access between blocks within each development (i.e. through swipe cards etc. for residents). Details demonstrating this should be shown on the plans provided prior to the release of the Construction Certificate. The location

CPTED Assessment


of fencing to be installed is highlighted within the individual checklists attached at Appendix A to C.

All units will be provided with lockable doors and windows.

Recommended: All sliding doors and windows within the ground level units shall be provided with patio bolts to secure these access points.

As these areas are capable of use by the public, it will be necessary to incorporate additional security measures to dissuade the potential for crime, such as the installation of CCTV. Signage and lighting area is also a crucial design consideration to secure the car parking areas.

Ground level courtyards are provided with fencing to restrict access to these areas.

Each garage storage space is to be separated by steel-welded mesh fencing. Individual storage areas are not currently shown on the plans and should be updated prior to the release of the CC. Recommended: Storage areas for each individual unit should be nominated on the plans and individually secured by steel-welded mesh.

WAYFINDING / SIGNAGE

A street number will be provided at the entry to the site and illuminated at night which should be visible from the surrounding street.

Where relevant, clear signage identifying the loading dock shall be provided that is visible from the driveway entry point.

Each entry footpaths into the building and basement level used for visitor car parking should be provided with a site plan identifying the buildings within the overall development to allow visitors to orientate themselves around the site. This should be installed prior to the occupation of the building.

Recommended: Locational signs should be provided near the foyer entry of each building and within the basement level identifying the location of that building block within the overall development for visitors to orientate themselves around.

VANDALISM & GRAFFITI

The types of building and landscape materials used in the developments along the ground level should be graffiti resistant (i.e be coated with graffiti resistant material).

It will be important to ensure ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the external and internal features. A well-kept area will deter vandalism and graffiti. However, if vandalism or graffiti is experienced the access control measures may need to be adapted to the particular area (landscaping, change of material, or other barriers to prevent access).

FENCING Appropriate fencing will be installed to private courtyards.

Some of the buildings propose fencing comprised of a mix of concrete base with horizontal slats above (see example below). Where proposed, the horizontal slats should be amended to vertical palisade fencing to limit opportunities for climbing and foot holes.

CPTED Assessment


Recommended: Where horizontal slat fencing is proposed, the plans should be updated to replace this with vertical palisade type fencing.

COMMON AREAS

Access control to common areas could be controlled by sign posting the

nominated hours and locking access to these areas outside of these

times. If the access to these areas becomes a problem once operating,

the Body Corporate could consider different methods to restrict access.

4.3 Territorial Reinforcement

The purpose of territorial reinforcement is about identifying ownership of a space. Individual

buildings will be managed by the relevant Body Corporate.

Criminals are typically deterred by the presence of people who are connected to and protect a

space acting as the ‘guardians’ of the site. Environmental maintenance is a relevant matter for

consideration in enhancing territorial reinforcement.

In considering territorial reinforcement, it is necessary to minimise any conflict between the

design, definition (use) and designation (whether it is used for the purpose built). Conflict between

these principles can lead to undesirable behaviour and/or crime and have been further outlined

within Table 4 below.

Table 4 Summary of key territorial reinforcement elements

Comments

GUARDIANS The guardians of the site are anticipated to be:

• Residents who live at the site and who will access the site during

different times of the day.

• Body Corporate who will monitor complaints, CCTV and

maintenance around the site to ensure it is regularly maintained.

These guardians are anticipated to each provide a level of territorial

reinforcement through the day and during the evening period. Due to the

nature of residential flat buildings with secure access points, crime is

anticipated to typically take place within basement car park areas and

along ground level units (i.e. break-ins, graffiti).

If the security measures outlined within the report are maintained (i.e. car park barrier, secure access into the building and basement, CCTV) it will assist in minimising opportunities for crime at the site.

CPTED Assessment


SIGNAGE Signage at the site is recommended to be installed at foyer entries to the building and at the key pedestrian entry points to the sites providing a masterplan map to locate the different blocks.

This signage helps to identify the space within each development (i.e. common open space, orientate people to different blocks within the development). Recommended: Signage is recommended to be installed around the site at the following locations:

• Clear street numbering (illuminated) visible from the street at each building foyer and or entry point to the development where the foyer is not positioned along the street frontage.

• Masterplan of the site showing the different building blocks at the pedestrian entry points (i.e. near the foyer) to help people navigate around and assist emergency services.

• Basement signage to direct visitors to the relevant lift.

SEPARATION OF SPACE

The design of the site effectively delineates the different spaces within each development. This is achieved by the use of fencing along private courtyards, the location of pavements and landscaping.

A key concern of the NSW Police is limiting unauthorised access internally within each of the developments (i.e. through the site and within common open space areas).

To address this, palisade fencing is recommended to be installed around the perimeter of each site with gates to provide secure access into each development for residents (i.e. through swipe cards, etc). This is to deter people who should not be at the site from access common areas and internal areas of the development.

Recommended: Access into the development should be restricted (both internally into buildings and within the central outdoor common areas of the development). This can be achieved by installing palisade fencing between building blocks around the permitter with secure access gates to enable authorised people only into the site (i.e. through swipe cards etc. for residents) as illustrated within the Appendix A to C. Details demonstrating this should be provided prior to the release of the Construction Certificate.

The central courtyards include a range of uses within the different developments which have been designed to encourage residents to gather. This includes items such as BBQ areas, landscaped areas and planter beds which encourage territorial enforcement of the space.

The shared common areas have generally been designed to be enclosed by the orientation of the buildings. However, as recommended above, the developments should be secured through the use of fencing between building blocks to restrict access to the internal areas of each development from the general public.

ENVIRONMENTAL MAINTENANCE

Environmental maintenance primarily relates to the regular maintenance of the site.

Generally, the on-going responsibility of buildings and landscaping will the Body Corporate who will be responsible for the timely maintenance of things such as graffiti removal, rubbish removal, fixing lights or other broken equipment around the site. It is anticipated that residents would

CPTED Assessment


log issues with maintenance to the Body Corporate who would fix in a timely manner or raise them at the Strata Meetings.

4.4 Activity and Space Management

Space and activity management involves the supervision, control and care of space. Typically,

places that are infrequently used are commonly abused. Therefore, it is important that the space

is well designed and achieves the intended purpose for patrons of the site.

The residential flat buildings will be frequently used by the various residents and visitors coming

and going at the site. Key periods when the site may be vandalised are likely to be during the

night time when there is less activity and during the middle of the day (Monday to Friday) when

people are anticipated to be at work.

The sites are provided with different elements to encourage a mix of uses. Multiple access points

are provided within the developments linking to the various surrounding streets and to other

buildings which will assist in providing surveillance of the development.

The control of the site will largely be by the Body Corporate with residents providing some

surveillance on a daily basis acting as guardians of the area. It is anticipated that any damage

that occurs at the site would be reported to the Body Corporate for fixing with the building manager

also reviewing the condition of the building on a regular basis.

Signage has been recommended to be installed around the site to identify the different areas of

the site which will help to define the different uses (i.e. common open space).

CPTED Assessment


5.0 Conclusion

This Report has been prepared to review the design of various residential flat buildings located

at future Lot 2, Lot 3, Lot 4, Lot 5 and Lot 6 in Lot 30, DP 262886, South Street, Marsden Park to

consider how the proposal achieves the principles of CPTED and minimise opportunities for

crime.

The design and layout of the sites has been assessed against the requirements of section 79C

of the EP&A Act and the principles of CPTED and has been found to be an acceptable design

subject to recommended conditions of consent. These conditions relate to either minor changes

or further detail being provided either prior to the release of the Construction Certificate or prior

to the release of the Occupation Certificate as outlined within this Report.

A periodic review of each development should be undertaken by the Body Corporate once

operating. This will be required to ensure it continues to achieve the intent and function originally

envisaged. This should be undertaken periodically and in the event of any issues arising at the

site to ensure the development appropriately responds to the surrounding environment and to the

needs of the users to limit opportunities for crime at the site.

• Building foyer

• Mailboxes

• Building entry and exit points

• Basement car park including bike storage area

• Lifts

• Waste rooms A graffiti resistant coating will be applied to all materials at ground level in particular the base of all ground level courtyard fencing. The development is open with no perimeter fencing. The CPTED report recommends that palisade fencing be installed between buildings to restrict unauthorised access into the central areas of the development and through the site. This could be achieved by installing fencing as nominated by a blue line in Figure 1 below. Restricting access internally within the development is particularly important for this development due to the design of the central and eastern building blocks which rely on access from along the sides of the buildings which are not visible from the street. If changes are proposed to be made to the design of the development, this would be an area to consider reviewing. Consideration should be given to redesigning the building entries so that they are accessed directly from the street as opposed to centrally within the building block which may provide concealed areas for people to hide within and limited opportunities for surveillance.


YES


Figure 1 Location of fencing gates to be installed to secure access to the site

✓ The basement will be secured by a physical barrier preventing access unless opened by a secure access arrangement (i.e. swipe card (or similar) which residents will be provided with). The location of the barrier should be nominated on the plans prior to the release of the CC and should not cause a back-up of vehicles onto the public road. All ground floor courtyards have been designed with fencing to deter people from accessing these areas. Fencing is proposed as a as a mix of a concrete base and horizontal slat fencing above (see Figure 2 below). It is recommended that the horizontal slat fencing be amended to vertical slat fencing to reduce opportunities for foot holes and climbing.

In particular the development includes some courtyard fencing comprised of solid flat walls which should be coated and provided with landscaping in front of to limit opportunities to deface. The development is open with no perimeter fencing. The CPTED report recommends that palisade fencing be installed between buildings to restrict unauthorised access into the central areas of the development and through the site. This could be achieved by installing fencing as nominated by a blue line in Figure 1 below. Restricting access internally within the development is particularly important due to the design of Block A and B within future lot 3. These building blocks rely on access from internally within the development which are not visible from the street. If changes are proposed to be made to the design of future lot 3 (Block A and B), this would be an area to consider reviewing. Consideration should be given to redesigning

the building entries so that they are accessed directly from the street as opposed to centrally within the building block. The current design may provide concealed areas for people to hide within and limits opportunities for surveillance. Further consideration will also need to be given to the mailboxes with Australia Post needing to access the perimeter gate and foyer security door. It is anticipated that this could be achieved through the mechanism described under ‘mailboxes’ below, however, a better outcome for other aspects of security would be to relocate the entry foyers along the street facades.

✓ The basement will be secured by a physical barrier preventing access unless opened by a secure access arrangement (i.e. swipe card (or similar) which residents will be provided with). The location of the barrier should be nominated on the plans prior to the release of the CC and should not cause a back-up of vehicles onto the public road. All ground floor courtyards have been designed with fencing to deter people from accessing these areas. Fencing is proposed as a as a mix of concrete or horizontal slat fencing (see Figure 2 below). It is recommended that the horizontal slat fencing be amended to vertical palisade fencing to reduce opportunities for foot holes and climbing or changed to another type of solid construction material (which would need to be coated in graffiti resistant material). Fencing will be maintained by the Body Corporate to ensure it is kept in good working condition.
