The Southern Suburbs Railway will offer an attractive, fast, frequent and safe means of public travel that will be competitive with private car use and will attract large numbers of people to use the system over extended hours of the day. The maximisation of the use of public transport is one of the key objectives to designing out crime by encouraging people to use the rollingstock and stations so that there is human activity and people-support available at most times.
In the design of all stations on the Southern Suburbs Railway, the requirements of occupational safety and health, and personal security of public transport users and staff is given paramount consideration.
At these stations, the Public Transport Authority has maximised personal security in the design of stations and car parks. This has been done through the adoption of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles that are the 'Designing out Crime' strategy of the Office of Crime Prevention.
The key design features include the provision of good and uniform levels of lighting, appropriate landscaping design, the provision of clear, logical and well-directed access pathways, appropriate signage as well as through passive security measures including the widespread use of CCTV within the station building and the adjoining car parks.
The Police Rail Unit is currently working with the Public Transport Authority to produce policing plans that are specific to the new Southern Suburbs Railway
