CPTED Site Assessment Report

Rex Morpeth Park

Xyst reviewed recent incidences of crime and other safety issues at Rex Morpeth Park – analysing data and interviewing local police, Neighbourhood Support, WDC’s Aquatics and Open Spaces teams and the Athletics Club to better understand the specific issues.

CPTED site assessments were then undertaken, during both day and night time visits, to assess natural surveillance, formal surveillance (CCTV), access control, territorial reinforcement, maintenance and lighting.

Prioritised recommendations were made for improvement actions in the immediate, short and long terms.

Project Benefit

Xyst was engaged by Whakatāne District Council to conduct Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessments and prepare recommendations to help reduce incidences of crime and improve user safety at Rex Morpeth Park.
