Securing today, for a safer tomorrow

trusted. personal. local.

Urban Security Concepts is a local government focused organisation which applies lessons learned from previous councils to help all councils. This understanding underpins our aim to provide the best value in service delivery and shared knowledge across the local government sector.

We have real, current, and relevant experience in the delivery of critical safety and security challenges across local government, community organisations, small business and government facilities including the development of security governance and strategy, safety management planning, emergency management and emergency response planning.

Crime prevention through environmental design.

Urban Security Concepts helps bridge the gap between designers and asset owners. Our experience shows us that consideration for security overlay is often an oversight by many designers and architects when it comes to master planning and even final design.

Through the application of CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) we can start to understand key design shortfalls that haven’t considered:

Lighting
Asset maintenance
Pedestrian safety
Opportunities for concealment
Landscaping and sightlines
People movements
Natural access control
Natural surveillance

strategic planning + public engagement.

Urban Security Concepts understands the value in strategic planning and community engagement. Communication is key.

We gather local intelligence to unlock insights from communities and stakeholders that informs and enriches strategic planning outcomes.

As the pace of change accelerates in our cities and regions, the need to genuinely engage with diverse communities becomes integral to delivering meaningful and transparent planning processes.

“It’s all about creating safer workplaces and communities; and we understand this”

Asset

management.

Urban Security Concepts is accredited through the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) to guide organisations using good asset management principals when making decisions regarding community owned infrastructure assets.

This means providing an understanding of the cost, risk and performance trade-offs in the short, medium and long-term.

Asset management is about ensuring the delivery of services that the community values today – whilst delivering certainty for the generations of tomorrow.
