CCTV

Background on CCTV at Colac Otway Shire Council

Council’s CCTV program commenced in 2013, through funding received from the State Government.  This enabled Colac Otway Shire Council to install cameras in and around the CBD precinct, Colac Skate Park and the front and rear of the War Memorial.  Council received further funding in 2018 to install additional cameras to capture areas subject to antisocial behaviour.

CCTV cameras on areas where there is a high community use and pedestrian traffic.  CCTV can assist in improving perceptions of safety by deterring potential offenders and aid in the detection of crime through Victoria Police monitoring.
