Assess the safety of your rural property and identify practical steps to better secure your land, sheds and access points.

Living on a rural or larger property comes with unique safety considerations. With homes often set further back from the road and properties covering large areas, it can be harder to monitor entrances, sheds, equipment and boundary access points.

This quiz encourages you to think about the security of your wider property — including gates, driveways, sheds, machinery, fuel storage, lighting and visibility. It also explores practical steps like knowing who should and shouldn’t be on your property, maintaining clear access points, and building connections with neighbours who can help keep an eye out. Small changes can make a big difference in protecting rural properties.
