Don’t miss out on CCTV funding

If you think your community could do with some more CCTV surveillance, make sure you get your applications in now!

Applications for Western Bay of Plenty District Council’s CCTV Fund close at 5pm on Thursday 10 August.

The $50,000 fund is designed to prevent crime and deter anti-social behaviour by adding to the growing network of CCTV (closed circuit television) cameras around the District.

Council’s Operations Manager Kerrie Little is encouraging people not to leave their applications to the last minute.

“We don’t want any areas of the District to miss out, so no matter where in the Western Bay you live or how big or small it might be, please apply!”

“It’s so important that people feel safe where they live, work and play, so we’re keen to find out from the community what locations need that added security the most,” says Kerrie.

All applications will be considered by a panel including Councillors Rodney Joyce, Margaret Murray-Benge and Richard Crawford, Council’s Operations Manager Kerrie Little and a NZ Police representative.

See westernbay.govt.nz/cctvfund for application forms and more information. Applications close at 5pm, Thursday 10 August 2023.

Completed forms can either be emailed to info@westernbay.govt.nz (subject 2023 CCTV Fund) or dropped off at one of our library and service centres at Waihī Beach, Katikati, Ōmokoroa, Barkes Corner or Te Puke.

Please note, applications to monitor private property will not be considered.
