I thank the member for some notice of this question. I am advised that the draft “designing-out crime” guidelines published by the Western Australian Planning Commission contain a number of techniques to be used to reduce crime and antisocial behaviour. These include: locate and design features to maintain maximum visibility through developments, including minimising sudden level changes; ensuring clear site lines to public spaces from adjacent buildings; providing adequate lighting and pedestrian routes; avoiding large areas of car parks; locating footpaths and cycleways in view of adjacent land uses; encouraging mixed-use development to avoid isolation of buildings and functions; and avoiding the unsupervised use of back lanes.
