Our CCTV cameras

Why do we have CCTV cameras?

CCTV cameras help us manage our services, assets and facilities. We don't operate CCTV cameras for criminal law enforcement. If a law enforcement agency wants to install and operate a CCTV camera on our land, they need to contact us and seek our permission.

What do we do with footage and images?

We manage, use and store CCTV footage and images in accordance with our guidelines and policy, as well as laws including the:

• Surveillance Devices Act 1999 (Vic)
• Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic)
• Public Records Act 1973 (Vic)
• Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (Vic)
