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.
