Join us to discover how CPTED can be applied at a precinct scale to drive revitalisation, collaboration, and integrated place management

This interactive workshop introduces Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and placemaking principles tailored for decision-makers, local services and security professionals. You’ll explore simple, place-based strategies to support long-term revitalisation goals.

Through case studies, group activities, and leading examples, the workshop blends practical learning with hands-on activities to give you ideas that can be applied immediately to your precinct.

Participants will leave with greater awareness, practical tools, and an action list tailored to their precinct scale, helping to create community spaces that are safe, vibrant and welcoming.

Who is this for?

This workshop is designed for those shaping the future of towns and community spaces, including:

· Local government decision-makers

· Community and town planners

· Local services and place managers

· Security professionals (professionals who may later become trained CPTED auditors)
