Join the CCTV Steering Committee
Are you interested in joining Council’s new CCTV Steering Committee?
Expressions of Interest are currently open for community members and local business representatives to join the committee and help the development of a policy for use of CCTV cameras in public places in Golden Plain Shire.
The CCTV Steering Committee has been designed to include community members and local business representative to ensure that community voices are heard on this important local issue.
So far, Council has not received any Expressions of Interest for the committee, and we are encouraging anyone passionate about community safety to put their hand up for this exciting engagement opportunity.
In late 2020, Council was approached by Victoria Police and community members requesting CCTV in public areas in Bannockburn, specifically the Bannockburn Heart Precinct, following incidents of anti-social behaviour and reports of criminal damage to Council assets caused by unknown offenders.
Volunteers for the CCTV Steering Committee will work alongside Victoria Police, Golden Plains Shire Councillors and Council’s Coordinator Community Safety to initially assess whether CCTV could effectively increase safety and confidence in public places in Bannockburn before working to develop a CCTV Policy.
Expressions of Interest close at 5pm, Thursday 26 August, 2021. For more information, please call Council’s Community Safety team on 5220 7277 or email communitysafety@gplains.vic.gov.au.
To apply, please complete the relevant Expression of Interest form, identifying as a community member or local business representative, at Council’s website.
