Council is expanding its Smart CCTV network along Riverside Drive from Clareville Avenue to Brantwood Street.
The cameras will act as a deterrent for illegal and antisocial behaviour, while also assisting parking enforcement of the ‘No Stopping’ areas along Riverside Drive.
The 25 cameras across eight poles have been installed and are expected to be operational by the end of July 2024.
They will also provide a level of improved community safety in Scott Park.
The NSW Police and the St George Local Area Command will be able to access live feeds from the cameras with recorded footage providing evidence for prosecution.
After consulting the community, Council made some changes to the layout and design to address visual clutter and minimise privacy intrusions.
Mayor Bill Saravinovski said:
“The implementation of these cameras is part of Council’s ongoing crack down on hooning and antisocial behaviour,” Mayor Bill Saravinovski said.
“The community has had enough, and Council’s position has always been that this disruptive and law-breaking behaviour is totally unacceptable.”
