CCTV safety cameras

Shoalhaven City Council has installed 18 Closed Circuit Television cameras (CCTV) in Nowra Central Business District (CBD).

The cameras transmit video footage and images to a central location and have been installed following concerns about the level of street crime in the area.  

CCTV cameras assist us to work with Police to help provide a safer environment by:

• Reducing crime levels by deterring potential offenders
• Reducing anti-social behaviour
• Aiding crime detection
• Aiding apprehension of offenders
• Reducing fear of crime
• Helping secure a safer environment for those people who live, work and visit Nowra’s CBD
