Installing closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras is helping to reduce the incidence of street crime in Lilydale, and cameras are shortly to be installed in some Mooroolbark streets.
In Lilydale, there has been a 77 per cent reduction in crimes against the person and antisocial behaviour since 2004, when CCTV cameras (funded by the federal government) were installed in several streets, which is a most pleasing result.
Over the next three months, cameras will be installed in strategic positions in Mooroolbark CBD streets, and I’m confident we can achieve similar success there.
As well, the penalty for consuming alcohol in alcohol-free zones has recently been increased from $100 to $200, and I’m certain this has also led to fewer offences in our streets.
