Council is expanding its Smart CCTV network across Riverside Drive including the intersection of Riverside Drive and Clareville Avenue, Waldron Street, Napoleon Street, Duffy Avenue and Brantwood Street.
The cameras will act as a deterrent for illegal and antisocial behaviour, while also undertaking parking enforcement of the 'No Stopping' areas along Riverside Drive.
The 25 cameras across eight poles have been installed and are expected to be operational by the end of July 2024 and will also help improve community safety in Scott Park.
The NSW Police and the St George Local Area Command will also have access to live feeds from the cameras with recorded footage providing evidence for prosecution.
Council also consulted with the community and made some changes to address visual clutter and minimise privacy intrusions.
Mayor Bill Saravinovski said:
"The implementation of these cameras is part of Council's ongoing crack down on hooning and anti-social behaviour," Mayor Bill Saravinovski said.
"The community has had enough, and Council's position has always been that this disruptive and law-breaking behaviour is totally unacceptable."
