An elected Dutton Liberal Government will provide $127,600 from a revitalised Safer Communities Fund (SCF) to install CCTV to make the Meander Valley safer.
Liberal candidate for Lyons, Susie Bower, said this funding would help ensure people in the local communities of Deloraine, Hadspen, Prospect and Westbury feel safe as they go about their daily lives.
"This funding is a direct response to concerns raised by our community. I've heard firsthand from residents across the Meander Valley that safety is a priority, and we're responding with practical measures to help make public spaces safer for everyone," Ms Bower said.
These cameras will be installed at the Deloraine Community Complex at Alveston Drive, complementing the redevelopment of the public amenities there, announced by Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, Hon Sussan Ley, in March.
CCTV will also be installed at the Prospect Vale Park complex at Harley Parade, which attracts more than 1,000 sport users per week, the Hadspen Bull Run Park at Bull Run Reserve, and finally the Westbury Function Centre.
Shadow Minister for Home Affairs and Cyber Security, Senator James Paterson, said under a Dutton Liberal Government, local communities will be stronger, more secure, and better supported to tackle crime.
"Getting Australia back on track means keeping Australia safe - safe for families, safe for businesses, and safe for communities," Senator Paterson said.
"Projects delivered under the Safer Communities Fund will help protect local communities by ensuring they have appropriate security infrastructure in place such as CCTV cameras, alarm systems and security lighting."
This commitment is part of the Coalition's plan to strengthen local communities and get Australia Back on Track.
