Vacant property security for developers – Melbourne
The Hidden Risks of Vacant Property in Melbourne
In Melbourne’s fast-paced real estate market, vacant buildings and development sites are a frequent sight as projects await approval, construction, or sale. But even a brief vacancy can expose developers and investors to major risks that go far beyond inconvenience.
Vandalism, Theft & Damage
Vacant properties attract vandals, metal thieves, and trespassers. Damage to interiors, copper wiring, and air conditioning units can cost owners thousands.

🏠 Why Traditional Security Measures Often Fail: The Role of Ajax
The Limits of Traditional Security for Vacant Sites
Delayed response
Patrols only visit on schedule, leaving long gaps where break-ins or theft can go undetected for hours.

CCTV limitations
Cameras often just record incidents but can’t stop them. Without 24/7 monitoring, footage is only evidence after the fact.

Alarm fatigue
Old wired alarms can be disabled or cause too many false alarms, making staff less alert to real threats.
