We're seeking your feedback on proposed CCTV camera locations in Balaclava, South Melbourne and Port Melbourne precincts.

Using Victoria Police data, crime statistics, available infrastructure and street audits, we've identified a number of feasible camera locations. Now we want to hear from the people who know these neighbourhoods best.

Are the proposed CCTV camera locations appropriate for your area? Your feedback will help inform future decisions before any cameras are installed.

Together we can shape safer, more welcoming public spaces.

This project is being delivered with funding from the Australian Government’s Strengthening Community Safety grant program.
