Following the Council Meeting on Wednesday 26 March Bayside Council resolved to provide in principle support for Transport for NSW Maritime St George’s request to add a Waterway Safety CCTV Camera to the foreshore at Brighton-Le-Sands.

The camera will form part of their surveillance network and enable them to work with St George police to remotely monitor illegal jet ski driving.

Bayside Council will also write to the relevant Ministers and the Attorney General supporting Transport for NSW Maritime St George’s call for changes to the Surveillance Devices Act and the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 No 133 to enable them to issue fines and charges from incidents recorded on their CCTV camera network.
