Crime Prevention through Environmental Design

The principle of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design has previously been incorporated throughout the design phase for the permanent structures, and will continue throughout the construction of temporary and permanent facilities. The key principles adopted in relation to the public realm at the Project site include:

• Increasing the perception of risk to criminals by increasing the possibility of detection, challenge and capture. • Increasing the effort required to commit crime by increasing the time, energy of resources which need to be expended. • Reducing the potential rewards of crime minimising by removing or concealing “crime benefits”. • Removing conditions that create confusion about required norms of behaviour.

Below is a description of preventions for this project:

Access control: Minimise opportunities for crime and increase the effort required to commit crime. By making it clear where people are permitted to go or not go, it becomes difficult for potential offenders to reach and victimise people and their property. Fence and barriers are required to be secure however not create a hostile environment. It is noted that the majority of the SMEW works will be undertaken within the existing rail corridor that is not accessible to the general public.

Active surveillance: Existing CCTV systems within the Train Stations acts a deterrent to criminal activity, and will provide video evidence for the police to apprehend offenders

Lighting: Providing a combination of natural and artificial lighting to reduce poorly lit areas will act as a deterrent to crime

Maintenance and Implementing a maintenance & cleaning regime to ensure areas are kept clean & Housekeeping: tidy, with materials and equipment secured to prevent crimes of opportunities. Graffiti removal should be implemented to ensure graffiti is promptly removed

Natural Surveillance: Increases the threat of apprehension by taking steps to increase the perception that people can be seen. Natural surveillance occurs by designing the placement of physical features, activities and people in such a way as to maximize visibility and foster positive social interaction among legitimate users of private and public space. Potential offenders feel increased scrutiny and limitations on their escape routes.

Territorial Reinforcement promotes social control through increased definition of space and ownership: improved proprietary concern. By using fences, pavement, signs, lighting and landscape to express ownership and define public, semi-public and private space, natural territorial reinforcement occurs. Territorial reinforcement measures make the normal user feel safe and make the potential offender aware of a substantial risk of apprehension or scrutiny.

Visual Management

Detailed below are the proposed management measures to be implemented and maintained on the project to minimise the impact on visual amenity to stakeholders for the duration of the project.

8.1. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design

Please refer to Section 6 for details on preventions on this project.

8.2. General

• Where practically possible, construction elements (Plant, equipment, materials, etc) will be located in area to minimise visual impacts, ie within site compounds and behind fencing/hoarding. • Where practical and reasonable, vegetation around the perimeter of the construction sites will be maintained. • Good housekeeping to be maintained. • Stockpiles to be covered. • Opportunities for the retention and protection of existing trees will be identified during detailed construction planning • Existing trees to be retained (within the Project Footprint) will be protected with suitable tree protection measures prior to the commencement of construction (refer AS 4970 the Australian Standard for Protection of trees on Development Sites and Adjoining Properties) • Rubbish or loose items will be removed in a timely manner and not stored on the Site for any extended period.

8.3. Graffiti and Bill Posters

• All graffiti is to be removed, painted over, or covered within a timely manner. • Bill Posters on construction hoardings and fencings will be removed

8.4. Hoardings, Fencings, and Signage

• A combination of Lightweight Temporary Metal Fencings (ATF) and Timber hoardings will be erected to contain constructions work sites. • Shade cloth, either plain or with Sydney Metro approved branding will cover temporary metal fencings. • Timber Hoardings will be painted Sydney Metro approved blue colour, and where required Sydney Metro branded signage installed. • Install hoardings and fencing from new materials and must at all times be maintained in a neat and tidy condition and be sympathetic with the surroundings. Hoardings are to be clean, painted free of snagging or sharp protrusions on both the worksite side and the public side and also comply with the relevant hoarding standards;

Canterbury, Lakemba & Marrickville Metro Station Upgrades Visual Amenity Management Plan

• Fencing, walls, and hoarding will be designed and implemented to increase natural surveillance with straight runs. • Signage will be utilised to clearly define and designate areas with respect to their intended use to the public and construction workers on access. • Install way-finding signage to direct pedestrians, commuters and vehicles around the Construction Site.

8.5. Lighting

• Permanent, Temporary, or mobile site lighting will be installed for both construction activities and security. Installation of lighting will be in accordance with AS4282:1997 Control of the Obtrusive Effect of Outdoor Lighting to ensure outdoor lighting does not impact upon sensitive receivers • Lighting to be positioned and orientated to minimise glare and light spill impacts onto adjacent receivers

8.6. Temporary Works

• Site Sheds and compounds are to be located to minimize the visual impact on the surrounding area where possible • Any temporary works that impacts the surrounding area or public open space would be reinstated or rehabilitated with consultation with stakeholders

8.7. Tree Removal and Pruning

• All tree removal and pruning will be kept to a minimum, and will be in accordance with the Sydney Metro Sydenham to Bankstown Environmental Impact Statement, and the relevant local Arboriculturally Impact Assessment Report
