to maximise the safety and security of
public and private areas by—
(a) clearly defining the boundaries
    between private and public spaces;
(b) promoting casual surveillance of
    buildings and public areas from the
    street and other public areas for
    personal security reasons;
(c) avoiding concealment spots; and
(d) maintaining safe site distances to and
    from road and building corners,
    carpark entrances and driveways (see
    Figure 14-17);
(e) maintain safe site distances at planting
    bed ends within carparks;
(f) protecting solid fences from graffiti by
    incorporating elements such as
    landscaping, creepers, murals or
    vandal resistant paint; and
(g) separating and defining pedestrian
    and vehicle circulation routes.
