Safety sites

What are Safety Sites?

Safety Sites are large, open areas in or close to the CBD that can be used as meeting places for large numbers of people in the event of an emergency. For example, if all of the Sydney CBD needed to be evacuated, this would need to be done in a controlled manner, due to the high population that is in the city on any given week day.
