Spring in WA (September to November) is a mild, dry season with warming temperatures and longer daylight hours. While the weather is generally pleasant, spring creates specific security challenges that both public and private facilities should be aware of:
Spring Risks & Patterns in WA:
- Increased foot traffic around parks, beaches, and public spaces
- More after-hours activity due to warmer nights and daylight saving
- Seasonal maintenance work on infrastructure often leaves assets exposed
- Bushfire season begins in spring, especially in regional and outer-metro areas
- Events and festivals ramp up, requiring crowd and vehicle management
What Local Authorities & Businesses Usually Do in Spring
1. Reassess Outdoor Security Infrastructure
- Councils often review camera placement in public parks, playgrounds, and beachfronts as activity increases.
- Commercial property managers retest motion lights and cameras after winter to ensure visibility and coverage.
2. Ramp Up Maintenance and Site Works
- Spring is a peak season for infrastructure upgrades: HVAC work, repainting, carpark resurfacing, etc.
- SCS often helps clients secure these temporary work zones to prevent theft of tools or vandalism.
3. Focus on Garden & Courtyard Security
- Warmer weather encourages staff and community members to use outdoor break areas and courtyards.
- Installing low-profile motion sensors, bollard lights with integrated cameras, or AI sensors in garden zones is common.
4. Monitor Parking Lots and Access Points
- With longer daylight hours and more evening visitors, parking lots and building perimeters become more vulnerable.
- Motion-activated lighting, number plate recognition (LPR) cameras, and auto-arm schedules are adjusted for spring hours.
