Greater Shepparton City Council has received a grant of $190,687 from the Department of Justice to go towards Stage 2 of the Safer City Camera Network. This funding will enable Council to continue its work to achieve the priority goals detailed in Council’s adopted Community Safety Strategy 2018-2021.
The Safer City Camera Network is based on a partnership model between Greater Shepparton City Council and Victoria Police, with the main network control station based in the Shepparton Police Station watch house and a secondary control station located within the station to accommodate Greater Shepparton City Council camera operators between 11:00pm and 5:00am on a Friday and Saturday night.
Council’s Stage 2 expansion of the Safer City Camera Network has resulted in six potential locations for future cameras being identified;
These locations are a result of crime statistics data, community perceptions of safety survey results and consultation with Victoria Police and the Safe Communities Advisory Committee. These locations target areas of high community congregation and existing blind spots within the Safer City Camera Network area. Cameras located at these areas can provide greater coverage and more opportunity for early intervention of anti-social behaviour within key Shepparton locations, and thoroughfares, with a particular focus on late night precincts.
Greater Shepparton residents are encouraged to give feedback on the proposed locations via online survey here by 5:00pm on Monday 17 December.
