How we use CCTV
The City uses closed-circuit television (CCTV) throughout Cockburn to aid in the reduction of crime and anti-social behaviour simply by increased monitoring and recording activity. Footage is securely stored and can only be released to Police upon formal request. CCTV supports the City in security management and community safety by:
- Detecting that something is occurring in a particular field of interest
- Recognising exactly what is happening
- Identifying who (if possible) is involved in the activity.
In Coolbellup, CCTV is currently installed at the Coolbellup Hub/Len Packham Clubrooms.

The City has completed planning for new CCTV locations in Coolbellup. Key findings from community and stakeholder consultation helped to inform the chosen locations alongside budget, policy, and installation and maintenance constraints.
The project scope accommodates the installation of roughly 24 new cameras throughout Coolbellup by late-2023, including key areas near:
- Winterfold Road (nine)
- Coolbellup Avenue (six)
- North Lake Road (two)
- Forrest Road (two)
- Stock Road (three)
- Malvolio Road (two)
The new cameras will help to support security management and community safety by monitoring activity in the vicinity of suburb entry and exit points, major shopping precincts, and pedestrian accessways.
Next steps The City is engaging a supplier to install the CCTV infrastructure. Works will commence once the tender process is complete. The City expects to finish installing the cameras by late-2023.
