Haumoana Domain

CPTED Site Assessment and Recommendations Report

Xyst undertook a high-level desktop analysis of Haumoana Domain, to review current and historic information alongside a high-level crime analysis using NZ Police Crime Snapshot.

Xyst completed three visits to the Domain to conduct the CPTED site assessment – two during the day and one at night.

To better understand community concerns, Xyst met with key Council staff, spoke with two Community Board representatives, and interviewed the local Community Police Officer and servicing contractor. Using this information, we developed a comprehensive set of recommendations to inform CPTED improvements for the Domain.

Project Benefit

Xyst was engaged by Hastings District Council to conduct a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessment and prepare recommendations for improvements to Haumoana Domain to enhance safety and reduce crime by strategically promoting visibility/natural surveillance, and community engagement. As a supplementary, Xyst also provided a concise review of the camping activity at Haumoana Domain.
