Fifteen state-of-the-art CCTV cameras keep Texas residents safe

The Mayor of the Goondiwindi Regional Council, the Honourable Cr Lawrence Springborg AM was in Texas last week to inspect the fifteen new state-of-the-art CCTV cameras installed around the town as part of improvements in community safety and crime prevention measures.

The Texas Customer Service Centre now has six internal and external cameras onsite and the remaining nine cameras are dispersed throughout the township.

Cr Lawrence Springborg said we want to keep the people of Texas and the wider community safe, and this is a fundamental improvement in the region.

Council completed the $32,915 project in two parts. Stage one involved the installation of poles designed for structural integrity and the cutting and removal of tree limbs, while Stage two involved the camera fittings.

The areas in which the cameras are installed have been identified as a priority due to their popularity and public thoroughfare, in consultation with local Queensland Police personnel.

Council will be responsible for carrying out regular maintenance of the CCTV cameras. This includes checking the cameras, cleaning them, and making sure they are functioning properly.

The project was completed in February 2023.
