CCTV Partnership Program

Terms and Conditions

1. One application per property will be considered each Financial Year.
2. The system must meet the minimum technical requirements as follows: 6-Megapixel or equivalent and night-time capable.
3. There must be adequate lighting such as sensor lights or in-built night vision capabilities to capture adequate footage.
4. CCTV must be installed within the Town of Victoria Park and remain within the Town.
5. The system must be fully paid for, and all forms must be completed in full before the rebate is issued.
6. The Town will rebate half the cost of the CCTV system, up to $750. Allocating funding to a project remains at the Town’s discretion. The Town does not guarantee rebates to all applicants if the allocated budget is fully expended.
7. The applicant must provide the Town with photos/video for all cameras funded as part of the program to confirm camera field of view covers the public realm and camera field of view for neighbouring properties. All camera installations need to comply with the Surveillance Devices Act (1998) WA.
8. Any alleged breach of the Surveillance Devices Act 1998 (WA) is a matter for the WA Police as the agency responsible for investigating and enforcing offences under the Act. The Town does not administer or enforce the Act and cannot provide a determination as to whether a particular surveillance device installation complies with its requirements. Applicants and property owners remain responsible for ensuring their surveillance devices are installed and operated lawfully.
9. The system must be installed, and all forms must be completed, within 90 days of Town approval.
10. The applicant must agree to provide footage to the WA Police Force upon request and register their system with Cam-Map WA. Failure to do so will result in the Town retrieving any payments it has made to the applicant.
11. If the applicant is not the property owner, there must be permission from the property owner or agent authorised to act on their behalf before the system is purchased and installed.
12. Devices purchased more than 12 months prior to submitting an application are ineligible for the program.
13. The Town will send a follow-up survey in the following financial year, seeking feedback regarding applicant feelings of safety, the effectiveness of their systems, and general feedback.
14. Applicants are eligible for newly installed systems or upgrades to an existing system to meet the minimum technical requirements.
15. Applicants must inform their neighbours (whose property or activities are visible in the camera’s field of view) about the system because they may either benefit or object to the field of view. Applicants will need to confirm neighbours have been consulted and are supportive of the field of view as part of the post installation requirements.
16. At least one of the cameras installed must overlook the public realm such as the road, footpaths, front verge, parks, or laneways.
17. Rear properties or buildings with limited view of the public realm may not be eligible. The Town will assess on a case-by-case basis.
18. Systems that have received funding from this program in previous Financial Years are not eligible for funding.
19. The applicant must not have any current outstanding debt with the Town.
20. If the applicant opts for a payment plan, seek advice from the Town.
21. Concession card holders will not receive a greater rebate amount. Seniors can visit seniorswa.gov.au for additional State Government rebates on security devices. Receiving a State Government rebate for this program does not make the applicant ineligible for the Town’s CCTV Partnership Program rebate.
22. The applicant is ineligible if they are an elected member, staff of the Town or an immediate family member. State and Federal Government properties are not eligible for funding.
23. The Town reserves the right to cancel rebate arrangements at any time if the above conditions have not been satisfactorily met. The Town is not liable for any cost incurred by the applicant and may require repayment of any rebate fund provided if the conditions of the rebate program are not met.
