'How-to guide' on preventing terrorist attacks in Australia released

By political reporter Richard Baines

20 Aug 2017,

(Translation of this article appears in Arabic section)

A Federal Government report has identified a range of measures to safeguard public places against potential terrorist attacks.

The Strategy for Better Protecting Crowded Places from Terrorism report was designed to act as a blueprint for how all levels of government can work with business and police on protecting places like shopping centres and sports stadiums.

Specifically it outlined the concept of "layered security" at venues, including CCTV, X-ray screening and physical barriers like bollards to prevent vehicle attacks.

"If implemented correctly, layered security ensures that the failure of any single layer — which may consist of different security measures — will not significantly compromise the overall security of the place being protected," the report said.

"Crowded places such as stadiums, shopping centres, pedestrian malls, and major events will continue to be attractive targets for terrorists."
