Abstract: Three separation properties for a closed subgroup $H$ of a locally compact group $G$ are studied: (1) the existence of a bounded approximate indicator for $H$, (2) the existence of a completely bounded invariant projection of $VNleft(Gight)$ onto $V{N}_{H}left(Gight)$, and (3) the approximability of the characteristic function $ch{i}_H$ by functions in $M_{cb}Aleft(Gight)$ with respect to the weak${}^{\ast }$ topology of $M_{cb}Aleft(G_{d}ight)$. We show that the $H$-separation property of Kaniuth and Lau is characterized by the existence of certain bounded approximate indicators for $H$ and that a discretized analogue of the $H$-separation property is equivalent to (3). Moreover, we give a related characterization of amenability of $H$ in terms of any group $G$ containing $H$ as a closed subgroup. The weak amenability of $G$ or that $G_d$ satisfies the approximation property, in combination with the existence of a natural projection (in the sense of Lau and "Ulger), are shown to suffice to conclude (3). Several consequences of (2) involving the cb-multiplier completion of $Aleft(Gight)$ are given. Finally, a convolution technique for averaging over the closed subgroup $H$ is developed and used to weaken a condition for the existence of a bounded approximate indicator for $H$.
