CCTV Code of Practice
Consultation has concluded
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) is a safety and crime prevention tool. CCTV can be effective in improving perceptions of safety, deterring antisocial and criminal behaviour, protecting assets and assisting in prosecution.
Our CCTV system is part of a layered security response with an aim to reduce crime. Other strategies include activating public space, appropriate lighting, natural surveillance, access control and signage.
We have a Code of Practice (policy) with principles that council staff will consider to determine the establishment, operation and management of CCTV in public places.
We invite your feedback on the revised Code of Practice (policy).
