MORNINGTON PENINSULA: $½M for CCTV
Mornington Peninsula Council has reaffirmed its commitment to a safer community, allocating a one-off investment of $500,000 to upgrade the Shire’s CCTV camera system.
A key new feature of the upgrade will be access to footage from cloud-based platforms, enabling police to view footage from multiple devices while on patrol.
The Shire currently maintains 60 CCTV cameras across six localities, each feeding footage directly to the nearest Victoria Police station:
• Hastings – 12 cameras
• Mornington – 25 cameras
• Mount Eliza – 5 cameras
• Mount Martha – 4 cameras
• Rosebud – 1 camera
• Rye -13 cameras
The Council will engage a security contractor to complete the upgrade, which is expected to be completed within the next three months.
Mayor Cr Anthony Marsh (pictured) said: “While community safety and crime prevention remain the responsibility of the State Government and Victoria Police, Council can play a practical role by maintaining infrastructure that assists police in protecting our community.”
