History of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
The above link is the Wikipedia history record of CPTED. However, once you start researching history in general and look at different countries, cultures, and cities built centuries ago, these principles have been used for thousands of years. City and village would use CPTED principles to protect water, food and other natural resources from being stolen.
CPTED was also introduced to mitigate the possibility of clans or tribes invading and taking control over their lands. The use of Moate, Castle Walls, Elevated building positions, Rivers or other natural physical barriers or open clearings are all forms of CPTED principles.
Everyone would consider the CPTED principles when designing or planning a city, business or home in a perfect world. However, this is something that is often overlooked in the initial conceptual plans. In some cases, environmental or social frameworks can change over time, and additional control may be required retrospectively. Conducting regular CPTED audits inspections will ensure that you are maintaining the protection of your property.

BIZ SECURE WORKS
A business wanting to make security improvements to their premises submits their application online at bizsecure.nt.gov.au
If the business is approved to access the program, they will be issued a voucher for a mandatory security audit on the business premises by a registered security audit contractor. The cost of the security audit is covered by the program.
Once the security audit has been completed and a report provided, the grant applicant business will be able to seek quotes and apply for up to 4 vouchers to carry out security improvement works (a ‘Cluster Business’ can apply for up to 5 vouchers).
For Individual Eligible Recipient businesses, up to $8,000 will be available on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis to make improvements based on the security audit.
For Cluster Businesses (minimum 5 businesses), up to $43,000 will be available on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis to make improvements based on the security audit.
The NT Government will provide a voucher covering part of the costs (up to 50%) to the business receiving the security improvements.
Once the job is done, the business doing the work receives the signed and dated voucher from the business receiving the work as part payment. The business receiving the work pays the balance.
The business that has done the work redeems the voucher from the NT Government.
