CCTV

Our Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) enables us to work together with NSW Police to help provide a safer environment, reduce crime levels by deterring potential offenders and aid in crime detection and apprehension of offenders.

AlburyCity has currently four fixed Public CCTV Networks with a total of 117 CCTV cameras installed throughout the Albury Local Government Area (LGA). These include:

• Albury CBD (Dean Street, QEII Square and Volt Lane):
• Lavington CBD;
• Albury Skatepark; and
• Monument Hill.

AlburyCity has installed CCTV cameras around the LGA with the aim to reduce violence, street crime, anti-social behaviour and increase the perception of safety in our community. A full list of the CCTV locations can be found in the CCTV Code of Practice and Standard Operating Procedure.

The cameras will capture any activity that occurs in the field of view of the cameras. The system provides live footage 24 hours a day, seven days a week to monitors located at the Albury Police Station.

Any CCTV footage is held for a period of 30 days. The footage is then destroyed unless it has been requested by law enforcement agencies, such as the NSW Police, for the investigation of a crime, for legal proceedings, or where AlburyCity is required to release the images by law. The CCTV Code of Practice and Standard Operating Procedure detail the circumstances where the images captured by CCTV will be held and released.

A Code of Practice has been developed in consultation with the NSW Police. This Code contains standards to guide the operation of our Public CCTV Program and is supplemented by our Standard Operating Procedures which provide instructions on the day-to-day operation of the CCTV system.
