Security Crowd Management Strategy
AUSWIDE primary crowd management strategy is delivery of effective customer service to prevent patron dissatisfaction and crowd degeneration.
Critical to AUSWIDE strategy is effective communication of access control and implementation of entry search procedures (executed in co-operation with VICTORIA Police Force and in
accordance with legislative limitations), primarily to assist in overall harm minimisation.
The best deterrent is to have a distinct presence at all patron entry gates, at all areas of perimeter weakness, and at targeted high risk locations so that there is a visual impact of control
systems in place as the public access and observe the event site.
This will ensure the public’s perception of the event is that of a safe site controlled by proper authorities, this will also reduce the incidents that may occur.
This perception is best achieved by the existence of adequate staffing resources and use of technology to increase patron accountability.
The strategy is supported by bright distinct Hi-Viz event uniforms, with strategic positions supported by Hi-viz vests.
AUSWIDE personnel provide all internal event specific security functions (within the defined event area). Any general issues outside the event area are the responsibility of Northern
Grampians Shire Council and/or Police (as relevant).
This planning document is limited to AUSWIDE provision for internal security services [event asset protection, crowd direction, crowd behaviour, restricted area access control].
The aim of AUSWIDE security service provision is to:
provide a visible security presence
maintain access control
maintain a professional security image throughout the event operations
implement documented security risk controls for identified risks
respond to Babylon festival 2017 and associated stakeholders security concerns.
The plan is reliant on coordinated application of effective risk management to mitigate security and safety risk hazards; including;
Event overlay considering safety by design principles
Effective access control infrastructure
Effective access control accreditation systems
11 | P a g e
Effective access control policies and procedures
Committed harm minimisation practice
Effective communications systems and protocols.
The plan incorporates the following strategies;
1. Physical security recommendations (access control infrastructure, crowd management infrastructure communications systems, ID Scanning technology)
2. Administrative security controls (accreditation systems, preventative security procedures, incident response procedures),
3. Human resource (manpower) security controls / deployment (control and command, surveillance, static, response, vehicle mobile patrols, vessel mobile patrols).
Physical Security Infrastructure
The plan includes the requirement for installation of the following security equipment;
1. Adequate perimeter fencing to ensure site integrity to avoid unauthorised access by patrons to maintain crowd capacity at the approved level.
2. Adequate internal fencing to direct crowd movements and control access to restricted areas.
3. Adequate staging barricades to manage crowd movements to reduce the likelihood of crowd crush and provide a safe environment for patrons and staff.
Security Command Structure
Hardware Corporation will be responsible for logging and recording all incidents emergency calls put thru operations to event control.
Emergency Command Locations The event will operate a primary Command Centre (Event Control)
Command Name Description Location

Security Communications Protocol
Babylon festival 2017 has prepared an Event Communications Plan which governs event communications. Security Operations are
integrated into the overall event communications protocols.
Two Way Radio
The primary communication across the event is via two-way radio. All key security positions will be allocated a two-way radio.
Security will operate on a dedicated communications channel.
BASED ON THE VOLUME OF STAFF AND FREQUENCY OF COMMS, AUSWIDE REQUIRES ONLY 1 CHANNEL.
1. Security
All security is trained in the use of two-way radio and radio communications. AUSWIDE prepare and implement its own radio call
signs (distributed as laminates with radio issue).
All security officers will be supplied with radio communication ear muffs and microphones to enable communication within a high
noise environment (stages) between security officers.
Commercial In Confidence
15 | P a g e
Show Stop Procedure
In the event of an EMERGENCY (if it is deemed necessary to do so) the Security Manager can affect a SHOW STOP without requiring the authorisation of any stakeholders.
Any situation where there is a very high risk of the loss of life or serious injury is deemed an EMERGENCY. A SHOW STOP can only be used if the continued use of amplified music is detrimental to people’s safety or in the event of the necessity to make emergency announcements.
Examples are; extreme weather conditions, unsafe staging, unsafe electricals, prevention of people climbing objects, medical emergencies, fire emergencies, unruly crowd behaviour.
This procedure is to adhere to these guidelines (where practicable).
1, Call thru to ECC and log where, when and why a SHOW STOP is to occur.
2, Speak to the Stage Manager and instruct them to scale back the volume.
3, Carefully consider what announcement is to be made to not induce panic.
4, Address the crowd via a microphone thru the PA system and inform them of the situation.
Loud Hailers
Nominated Emergency Wardens and Security Supervisors will be equipped with supplementary loud hailers which will be available
for emergency communication. Loud hailers are primarily used when a power outage or emergency egress requires a power shut
down so PA systems are not able to provide emergency or safety messaging. Pre-recorded emergency messaging and emergency
site egress plans should be at all production areas if PA power is still available to assist emergency directions.
Production staff needs to be briefed on emergency protocol chain of command and communication requirements.
Whilst amplified music may inhibit the effectiveness of loud hailers they provide optimum redundancy in emergency scenarios,
particularly for situations which restrict the use of two-way radio and/or failure of primary communications systems. Similarly,
standard emergency protocols for performance require ‘stop’ procedures to be implemented for stage areas assisting the
implementation of emergency response and enhancing the efficiency of loud hailers.

A summary of the security operational activities implemented for Babylon festival 2017 is outlined below;

Medical
Comprehensive operational plans are in place for medical response implemented by The Provider (tbc). AUSWIDE Security Officers
will serve as first respondents and refer all cases for primary medical response. Please refer to the providers medical response plans
for details of medical operations. AUSWIDE will brief guards at the pre event briefing to make them aware of any recent medical
(recreational drug trends) and symptoms our guards should be aware of and methods of communication to St John Ambulance.
Emergency Management
Comprehensive operational plans are in place for emergency response implemented by Babylon festival 2017 Safety Officer and
Emergency Services. AML Risk Management will serve as Wardens (where nominated) and act in accordance with directions of the
Emergency Command Organisation (ECO), with responsibility for emergency evacuation.
Please also refer to security schedule, job role descriptions and risk assessment sections of this document.
Security Risk Identification and Analysis
In accordance with its obligations to practice effective risk management, AUSWIDE assesses the risks of each of its contracted
security operations.
This plan is prepared in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management and HB 167:2006 Security
Risk Management.
AUSWIDE has assessed the known risks identified in consultation with representatives of Babylon festival 2017 (based on
documentation provided).
The plan requires extensive consultation prior to finalising risk identification, analysis and control detail.
Risk Scope
This document is an internal Risk Assessment restricted to crowd management and security related issues. It includes only identified
risk which may impact on the service provision of Auswide Security Services as event contractors for Babylon festival 2017, staged
99 Torney Road Carapooee West..
It does not consider general event risk factors such as financial and public relations risks. It does not consider Work Health & Safety
(WHS) risk hazards. AUSWIDE have specific WHS risk assessments for its employees which are implemented for all operations. This
security assessment provides an overview of the crowd management issues that may impact on the event activities and AUSWIDE
activities related to this event. The risks identified and the suggested treatments are based on information available at the time or
preparation.

Security Operations Overview
Security guards are provided as a treatment method for risk controls. Security treatments are typically considered as ‘people’ (i.e.
Security). The presence of a security guard is a fundamental security treatment. Provision of security does not guarantee risk
elimination or a safe environment. In this instance security guards are provided as a visual presence as part of the overall inherent
risk reduction strategy. The security strategies and resources (including security guards) in this plan are limited by the commercial
restraints and tolerability of Babylon festival 2017 of the ALARP principle as noted in HB167:2006 Security Risk Management.
Security figures are based on but not limited to the following:
Risk identification of client and associated stakeholders.
Final deployment determined by event organisers (subject to risk perception, tolerance and budget constraints).
Responsibility for immediate defined event area only.
External review by all related regulatory authorities.
The assistance of all regulatory bodies within their area of accountability.
Psychological crowd classification of Level II Cohesive Spectator Crowd.
Publication of terms and conditions and signage indicating the terms and conditions of entry for patrons.
Signage indicating the limitations of responsibility for patrons prior to entry.
Ticketing information to be provided by Ticket Agency at conclusion of sales (if sold out), or a minimum of 7 days prior, and 1
day prior (for analysis of patron profile).
Crowd services requirements have been determined by Babylon festival 2017 in consultation with AUSWIDE
Event capacity analysis has been prepared and is determined by a professional service provider and crowd is estimated at an
agreed attendance of 7,000 patrons, crowd capacity related professional qualifications not noted on documentation.
Event risk assessment has been prepared and is determined by a professional service provider.
Provision of specific risk reviews for contractor risk areas.
Ingress and egress plans has been prepared and is determined by Babylon festival 2017.
Event traffic management plan has been prepared and is determined by a professional service provider.
Staff redeployment authorised as required as events proceed.
Implementation of medical response and treatment by professional medical services.
Implementation of harm minimisation and treatment by event licensee and harm minimisation services.
Provision of extensive ambient night safety security lighting including redundancy of lighting.
Security Schedule and Ratio
There will be a deployment of 50 Security guards for the event.
Ratio is 1:140 based on 7000 pax.
It is noted final deployment will be determined in consultation with Babylon festival 2017 as planning continues.
Ticketing information to be provided by Ticket Agency at conclusion of sales (if sold out), or a minimum of 7 days prior, and 1

Psychedelic
trance
Psychedelic trance, psytrance or just psy (derived from the Ancient Greek word ψυχή "psyche", mind; soul; breath; spirit) is a genre of electronic dance music characterized by arrangements of synthetic rhythms and layered melodies created by high tempo riffs. By 1998 psytrance had become a mainstream form of music. Psytrance lies at the hardcore, underground end of the diverse trance spectrum. The genre offers variety in
terms of mood, tempo, and style. Some examples include full on, darkpsy, Hi-Tech, progressive, suomi, psy-chill,
psycore, psybient, psybreaks, or "adapted" tracks from other music genres. Goa trance preceded psytrance,
when digital media became more commonly used psytrance evolved. Goa continues to develop alongside the
other genres.

Techno
Techno is a form of electronic dance music that emerged in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States during the mid-to-late 1980s.The first recorded use of the word techno in reference to a specific genre of music was in 1988. Many styles of techno now exist, but Detroit techno is seen as the foundation upon which a number of subgenres have been built. In Detroit techno resulted from the melding of African American music including Chicago house, funk, electro, and electric jazz with electronic music by artists such as Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, and Yellow Magic Orchestra. Added to this is the influence of futuristic and fictional themes[12] relevant to life in American late capitalist society, with Alvin Toffler's book The Third Wave being a notable point of reference. Pioneering producer Juan Atkins cites Toffler's phrase "techno rebels" as inspiring him to use the word techno to describe the musical style he helped to create. This unique blend of influences aligns techno with the aesthetic referred to as afrofuturism. To producers such as Derrick May, the transference of spirit from the body to the machine is often a central preoccupation; essentially an expression of technological spirituality. In this manner: "techno dance music defeats what Adorno saw as the alienating effect of mechanisation on the modern consciousness". Stylistically, techno is generally repetitive instrumental music, oftentimes produced for use in a continuous DJ set. The central rhythmic component is most often in common time (4/4), where time is marked with a bass drum on each quarter note pulse, a backbeat played by snare or clap on the second and fourth pulses of the bar, and an open hi-hat sounding every second eighth note. The tempo tends to vary between approximately 120 to 150 beats per minute (bpm), depending on the style of techno. The creative use of music production technology, such as drum machines, synthesizers, and digital audio workstations, is viewed as an important aspect of the music's aesthetic. Many producers use retro electronic musical devices to create what they

consider to be an authentic techno sound. Drum machines from the 1980s such as Roland's TR-808 and TR-909 are highly prized, and software emulations of such retro technology are popular among techno producers. Music journalists and fans of techno are generally selective in their use of the term; so a clear distinction can be
made between sometimes related but often qualitatively different styles, such as tech house and trance.
Dub Dub is a genre of music that grew out of reggae in the 1960s, and is commonly considered a sub-genre,, though it has developed to extend beyond the scope of reggae. Music in this genre consists predominantly of instrumental remixes of existing recordings and is achieved by significantly manipulating and reshaping the recordings, usually by removing the vocals from an existing music piece, and emphasizing the drum and bass parts (this stripped-down track is sometimes referred to as a 'riddim'). Other techniques include dynamically adding extensive echo, reverb, panoramic delay, and occasional dubbing of vocal or instrumental snippets from the original version or other works. Dub was pioneered by Osbourne "King Tubby" Ruddock, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Errol Thompson and others in the
late 1960s. Similar experiments with recordings at the mixing desk outside of the dancehall environment were
also done by producers Clive Chin and Herman Chin Loy. These producers, especially Ruddock and Perry, looked
upon the mixing console as an instrument, manipulating tracks to come up with something new and different.
Dub has influenced many genres of music, including rock (most significantly the subgenre of post-punk and
other kinds of punk), pop, hip hop,disco, and later house, techno, ambient, electronic dance music, and trip
hop. Dub has become a basis for the genres of jungle/drum and bass and dubstep. Traditional dub has survived
and some of the originators, such as Lee "Scratch" Perry and Mad Professor, continue to produce new material.

Electronica Electronica is a music genre encompassing a wide range of contemporary electronic music designed for a wide
range of uses, including foreground listening, some forms of dancing, and background music for other activities.
Unlike electronic dance music (EDM), not all examples of electronica are necessarily made for dancing.The genre
is loosely defined and has different connotations in different regions and time periods.
Electronica has grown to influence mainstream crossover recordings. Electronic sounds began to form the basis
of a wide array of popular music in the late 1970s, and became key to the mainstream pop and rock sounds of
the 1980s. Since the adoption of "electronica" in the 1990s to refer to more underground music with an
electronic aesthetic, elements of modern electronica have been adopted by many popular artists in mainstream
music.

Trip Hop Trip hop is a genre of electronic music that originated in the early 1990s in the United Kingdom, especially
Bristol. Deriving from "post"-acid house, the term was first used by the British music media and press as a way
to describe the more experimental variant of breakbeat which contained influences of soul, funk and jazz. It has
been described as "Europe's alternative choice in the second half of the '90s", and "a fusion of hip hop and
electronica until neither genre is recognisable." Trip hop music fuses several styles and has much in common
with other genres; it has several qualities similar to ambient music and its drum-based breakdowns share
characteristics with hip hop. It also contains elements of R&B, dub and house, as well as other electronic music.
Trip hop can be highly experimental in nature.

Post Dub-Step In early 2011 the term "post-dubstep" was used to describe urban music that was influenced by certain aspects
of dubstep. The breadth of styles that have come to be associated with the term post-dubstep preclude it from
being a specific musical genre. Pitchfork writer Martin Clark has suggested that "well-meaning attempts to
loosely define the ground we're covering here are somewhat futile and almost certainly flawed. This is not one
genre. However, given the links, interaction, and free-flowing ideas ... you can't dismiss all these acts as
unrelated" Such music often references earlier dubstep productions as well as UK garage, 2-step and other
forms of underground electronic dance music. Artists producing music that has been described as post-dubstep
have also incorporated elements of ambient music and early 2000s (decade) R&B. The latter in particular is
heavily sampled by three artists described as post-dubstep: Mount Kimbie, Fantastic Mr Fox and James Blake.
The tempo of music typically characterised as post-dubstep is approximately 130 beats per minute.
The production duo Mount Kimbie is often associated with the origination of the term post-dubstep. The
commercially popular band The xx's Jamie xx has released remixes which are considered post-dubstep, including
We're New Here (2011), a Gil Scott-Heron remix album.
