Community-Wide Improvements
Burnie City Council has been working with the Local Government Association of Tasmania (LGAT) on a collaborative project to support councils across Tasmania in upgrading and modernising their CCTV networks.
As part of this project, Council will be upgrading our infrastructure through the installation of new servers and network systems, along with upgraded and improved camera installations at:
- Burnie Park
- Alexander Street (near the Courthouse and Communion)
- Burnie Yacht Club – upgraded for improved coverage
These upgrades are all about creating safer public spaces, improving visibility, and ensuring coordination is in place when needed.
