2019 – Wollongong Pedestrian Lighting Audit Study – This research aimed to assess different forms of public and private lighting in the Wollongong CBD and surrounding streets in a defined study area and to examine its relationship to the night time city in terms of pedestrian movement, the activation or otherwise of public spaces and the general condition of the nocturnal environment. The study included exploring the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) as they applied to specific locations such as transport interchanges namely the train station, bus stops and taxi ranks as well as Crown Street Mall, surrounding streets and lanes and other public and semi-public areas. The report highlighted specific locations where lighting could be improved and where access control measures could be better employed to delineate private and public space.
