New move to tackle crime

Work will start soon on upgrades to CCTV and licence plate recognition technology in the City of Moreton Bay.

It follows the announcement of a $250,000 “investment” by the Queensland Government to boost crime prevention in this region.

Minister for Local Government and Water Ann Leahy said the funding will help Council meet the safety needs of communities.

“This project will significantly enhance community safety for Queenslanders and delivers on a key election commitment by the Crisafulli Government,” Minister Leahy said.

“We are investing in our Moreton Bay community to ensure everyone feels safe in their neighbourhoods.”

City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery welcomed the election commitment funding for CCTV cameras.

“Every person in our community deserves to feel safe, and by expanding our CCTV network, we’re taking a proactive approach to not just solving crimes but preventing them,” he said.

Projects expected to be completed by the end of June.
