CCTV security upgrades have been completed for the Western Downs Regional Council communities of Jandowae and Miles.
The $40,000 upgrade, which were funded by the Queensland Government, saw two new cameras installed for the library at Jandowae and a new 360-degree camera for a busy intersection in Miles.
Minister for Local Government and Water, Ann Leahy said the Government was delivering on its commitment to make Queensland safer by investing in practical crime prevention measures for regional communities.
“Community safety is a priority for our Government, and these CCTV upgrades in Jandowae and Miles are delivering an extra layer of security for local residents and businesses,” Minister Leahy said.
“We promised Queenslanders we would take action to restore safety in our communities, and we are delivering on that commitment for our Western Downs region.”
Western Downs Regional Council Mayor, Andrew Smith said the addition of CCTV was helping ensure the community felt safe, supported and confident in shared public spaces.
“These cameras will help deter antisocial behaviour, protect key community assets and support quicker responses when issues arise, giving residents and visitors greater peace of mind while continuing to enjoy these essential public spaces,” he said.
