Overall works include the supply and installation of 13 cameras (pole and building mounted); approximately 400m of fibre network, including conduits and pits; 500m wireless link, video monitoring systems/software, power supply and associated networking works.
According to Councillor Alex Christian, Bathurst Regional Council has committed to funding the project, which will see ’15 to 20′ CCTV cameras installed throughout the CBD, after missing out on NSW Government funding.
Cr Christian said it was good to see council appreciate the value the project by committing its own funds in the 2018-19 budget, but disappointing there was no support from a higher level of government.
The cameras are likely to be installed in William Street, Russell Street, Howick Street, George Street and Machattie Park, with council intending to have both fixed and PTZ cameras – the solution is also likely to be monitored by police and council staff with strict protocols governing use of video footage.
Stage 1 of the solution is already operational. In July, Bathurst Mayor Graeme Hanger said 9 cameras were monitoring parts of William and Keppel streets at a cost of around $A270,000.
“We’re happy to announce that these cameras are now operational and will be helping with antisocial behaviour and checking up on antisocial behaviour, and we’re happy to be working with the NSW Police,” Cr Hanger said at the time.
The tender for Stage 2 closes on October 22 – you can find out more here.
