Making Queensland safer – Improving community safety for Moreton Bay

An investment of $250,000 by state government and in partnership with the City of Moreton Bay Council has assisted with the installation of new CCTV and licence plate recognition technology to improve local safety as part of a key election commitment to improve community safety through targeted local infrastructure and crime prevention initiatives.

New CCTV and licence plate recognition technology has been installed at the corner of Plantation Road and Old Gympie Road in Dakabin, providing enhanced monitoring capabilities and supporting efforts to identify and prevent criminal activity. 

“Queenslanders voted for action on community safety, and this investment delivers exactly that by providing local authorities with additional tools to help deter crime and improve public safety,” Minister Leahy said. 

Member for Redcliffe Kerri-Anne Dooley said the new technology would strengthen community safety outcomes across the area. 

“Local residents deserve to feel safe in their neighbourhoods, and these upgrades provide important additional tools to help deter crime and support community safety,” Ms Dooley said. 

City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said the completed project would deliver significant benefits for the local community. 

“The additional CCTV and licence plate recognition technology will help make our community safer. We thank the state government and the Queensland Police Service, for their support in helping deter crime across City of Moreton Bay,” Mayor Flannery said. 

“The delivery of this project is a testament to what can be achieved when local and state governments work together to deliver meaningful outcomes for our community."
