Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CTPED)
CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (CPTED), PERTH AUSTRALIA
At Smartsec Security Solutions, we help you create spaces that feel safer, function better, and discourage criminal behaviour—using the proven principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).
Whether you’re managing a park, planning a new development, or improving an existing facility, our independent CPTED consultants provide actionable insights tailored to your site.
What is CPTED?
CPTED is a practical, design-based approach to reducing crime. It focuses on how spaces are planned, built, and maintained to influence human behaviour and discourage criminal activity.
Core CPTED principles include:
Natural Surveillance – Improving visibility to increase passive observation.
Access Control – Guiding movement through clear, secure entry points.
Territorial Reinforcement – Creating a sense of ownership and stewardship.
Maintenance – Keeping spaces clean, functional, and inviting.
Why CPTED Matters?
When CPTED is applied correctly, it helps:
Deter criminal activity by eliminating hidden or vulnerable areas.
Improve public safety and perceptions of security.
Increase property value through better usability and design.
Strengthen community engagement by fostering inclusive, well-used environments.
Our CPTED advice is aligned with Australian best practices and ISO 31000 risk management principles, ensuring your site is assessed to a high standard.
Our CPTED Assessment Process
1. Initial Consultation
We start by understanding your unique site context, concerns, and safety goals.
2. Site Assessment
Our consultants visit your site to assess layout, lighting, landscaping, entry points, and other key environmental factors. We also review local crime trends.
3. Strategy Development
We provide a tailored CPTED report with practical, site-specific recommendations—covering both quick wins and long-term improvements.
4. Implementation Support
We collaborate with your architects, planners, or maintenance teams to help integrate CPTED into your design or operations.
5. Ongoing Monitoring
We offer periodic reviews to ensure CPTED measures stay effective as conditions change.
