Eight new CCTV cameras with night vision and license plate-recognition capabilities are set to be installed across Logan.
Cameras like these are monitored by both Logan City Council and Logan police 24/7 for crime detection and are hoped to be a crime deterrent.
The cameras will be installed at:
- Rowan Park (Slacks Creek)
- Cnr Arshad Dve and Wembley Rd (Berrinba)
- Cnr Browns Plains Rd and Wembley Rd (Browns Plains)
- Cnr Nyanza St and Compton Rd (Woodridge)
- Marsden Park (Marsden)
- Cnr Third Ave and Browns Plains Rd (Marsden)
- Cnr Estramina Rd and Vansittart Rd (Regents Park)
- Fleet Park (Browns Plains)
Logan already has 1400 cameras, one of the largest networks operated by a local government in Australia.
The new cameras are funded through an $800,000 grant from the Australian government.
The federal treasurer and Rankin member, Jim Chalmers, said the delivery of the new cameras was evidence of the close cooperation between the local council and federal government.
“These new cameras are an important and practical demonstration of working together to deliver for our local community,” Mr Chalmers said.
“This is all about making our local area safer and more secure and making our community an even better place to call home.”
