Richmond Valley Development Control Plan 2012I10.2 CPTED Principles(1) Territorial ReinforcementCommunity ownership of public space sends positive signals to thecommunity. Places that feel owned and cared for are likely to be used,enjoyed and revisited. People who have guardianship or ownership of areasare more likely to provide effective supervision and to intervene in crime thanpassing strangers and criminals rarely commit crime in areas where the risk ofdetection and challenge are high. Effective guardians are often ordinarypeople who are spatially ‘connected’ to a place and feel an association with,or responsibility for it.Territorial Re-enforcement uses actual and symbolic boundary markers,spatial legibility and environmental cues to ‘connect’ people with space, toencourage communal responsibility for public areas and facilities, and tocommunicate to people where they should/should not be and what activitiesare appropriate.(2) SurveillancePeople feel safe in public areas when they can see and interact with others,particularly people connected with that space, such as shopkeepers oradjoining residents. Criminals are often deterred from committing crime inplaces that are well supervised.‣ Natural surveillance is achieved when normal space users can see andbe seen by others. This highlights the importance of building layout,orientation and location; the strategic use of design; landscaping andlighting – it is a by-product of well-planned, well-designed and well-usedspace.‣ Technical/mechanical surveillance is achieved throughmechanical/electronic measures such as CCTV, help points andmirrored building panels. It is commonly used as a ‘patch’ to superviseisolated, high risk locations.‣ Formal (or Organised) surveillance is achieved through the tacticalpositioning of guardians. An example would be the use of on-sitesupervisors, e.g. security guards at higher risk locations.(3) Access ControlAccess control treatments restrict, channel and encourage people andvehicles into, out of and around the development. Way-finding, desire-linesand formal/informal routes are important crime prevention considerations.Effective access control can be achieved by using physical and symbolicbarriers that channel and group pedestrians into areas, therefore increasingthe time and effort required for criminals to commit crime.‣ Natural access control includes the tactical use of landforms andwaterways features, design measures including building configuration;formal and informal pathways, landscaping, fencing and gardens.‣ Technical/Mechanical access control includes the employment ofsecurity hardware.

Richmond Valley Development Control Plan 2012Practice Formal (or Organised) access control includes on-siteguardians such as employed security officers.‣ Formal (or Organised) access control includes on-site guardians such asemployed security officers.(4) Space/Activity ManagementSpace/Activity Management strategies are an important way to develop andmaintain natural community control. Space management involves the formalsupervision, control and care of the development. All space, even wellplanned and well-designed areas need to be effectively used and maintainedto maximise community safety. Places that are infrequently used arecommonly abused. There is a high correlation between urban decay, fear ofcrime and avoidance behaviour.I10.3 Design standards/controls - CPTED(1) Developments which require CPTED Principles to be appliedThis plan applies to all land in the Richmond Valley Local Government Area.Applicants are advised to contact our Development Assessment staff to clarifywhether this plan will apply in their specific situation. If it does, the Statementof Environmental Effects and site analysis that accompany the developmentapplication should address this plan. A security management plan may berequired to be submitted with the development application. The securitymanagement plan should set out all relevant methods to be used to preventcrime and improve safety of the development.The following types of development proposals are required to be referred tothe NSW Police Force for comment. The following list is not comprehensive,and the decision as to whether a proposed development is required to besubmitted for police comment lies with the consent authority.‣ Multiple units, townhouse/villa developments (20 or more)‣ Mixed use developments (with 20 or more dwellings)‣ New or upgraded commercial/retail developments (major work)‣ New industrial complex (ie multiple industrial units)‣ New or upgraded schools, child care centres and hospitals‣ Railway stations‣ Large sports/community facilities‣ Clubs/hotels, (ie extended hours, gaming rooms)‣ Service stations/convenience stores‣ Unusual developments (ie arcades, brothels, amusement centres,upgrade of Department of Housing properties/estates).The NSW Police will generally respond within 14 days of referral and therecommendations supplied will be taken into account when determining theapplication.Part I – Other Considerations – CPTED I.115
