Draft Surveillance Devices Policy

Hawkesbury City Council, at the Council Meeting on 21 November 2023, has proposed a new Surveillance Devices policy that will allow council to use video cameras in the investigation of activities such as:

• Illegal dumping,
• Pollution or contamination,
• Unauthorised development,
• Community safety enforcement

Council is inviting community members to view and comment on Council’s Draft Surveillance Devices Policy for 28 days.

A hard copy of the Draft Policy can also be viewed at Council’s Administration Building, 366 George Street, Windsor, Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm during the exhibition period.

Council will receive online submissions via the form below or in writing addressed to the General Manager by mail to Hawkesbury City Council, PO Box 146 WINDSOR NSW 2756, or email council@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au up to close of business on Wednesday 13 March, 2024.
