Copper Theft Prevention in Melbourne – Protecting Your Site from Costly Crime
Copper theft continues to be a serious concern for construction sites, vacant developments, infrastructure projects, and commercial assets across Melbourne, Geelong, and regional Victoria. Thieves often cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage for just a few hundred dollars’ worth of scrap metal.
At Corrective Services Pty Ltd, we are trusted by developers, asset managers, and insurers across Victoria to provide tailored, professional copper theft prevention services. Our blend of skilled guards, visible deterrents, and 24/7 monitored patrol vehicles is designed to stop theft before it starts.
🔒 1. Secure the Site Perimeter
A strong perimeter is the first step to protecting your copper:
- Install tamper-resistant fencing, solid gates, and lockable access points
- Use anti-climb mesh or razor wire for added height
- Add motion-activated floodlighting to expose intruders before they get close
We conduct free on-site risk assessments across Melbourne and regional Victoria to help plan your site’s defenses.
👮 2. Professional Static & Mobile Security Guards
Our team of trained, licensed, and uniformed guards offers:
- 24/7 on-site static security
- Mobile patrols with GPS tracking
- Emergency call-out and incident response
- Real-time photo logs, reporting, and supervisor oversight
All guards are based locally in Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, and the surrounding regions. We do not outsource. We know our guards. We’ve trained them. We trust them.
🚨 3. High-Visibility Security Surveillance Vehicles
Our Security Car Hire Division offers purpose-built deterrent vehicles for high-risk locations. These units are:
- Clearly branded and parked prominently on-site
- Equipped with IR-capable surveillance cameras
- Monitored back-to-base 24/7
- Staffed by rotating patrol officers for long-term deployment
This highly visible presence is especially effective at large sites across outer-Melbourne suburbs, regional builds, and vacant land with open street access.

🔐 5. Secure and Track Your Copper Materials

- Lockable storage cages or shipping containers
- Scheduling copper deliveries just before installation
- Chemical etching and traceable paint markers
We assist site managers in designing smart storage plans that limit temptation and increase accountability.
💡 6. Keep Your Site Well-Lit
Darkness gives cover to criminals. We recommend:
- Solar-powered floodlights at site entries
- Temporary lighting towers for regional builds
- Motion-sensor lighting across high-risk areas
Lighting combined with patrols is one of the most effective deterrents for copper theft.
