The CPTED Guidelines focus on how the design of spaces and facilities can positively influence people’s behaviour, improving the perception of safety and leading to a more inclusive workplace with fewer incidents of crime.

The Landscape Guidelines outline a best practice approach to master planning, stormwater management, the design of streets and open spaces, and development with sensitivity to context and landscape character.

The result is a comprehensive set of Guidelines that when applied, will ensure a consistent approach across the Defence Estate that will improve outcomes for both land and people.

The CPTED Guidelines provide a user-friendly tool to translate high-level principles and aspirations into real-world direction, applicable to all levels of planning.
