Decision details

That Council:

1.       Notes that Administration advised Council on 8 September 2026 that, despite the $3 million CCTV Smart Technology Project completed in 2024, the last full joint City of Adelaide/SAPOL evaluation was undertaken in 2003; that a subsequent search identified an external strategic review undertaken in 2017; and that the City/SAPOL Memorandum of Understanding and Operating Guidelines are currently under review.

2.       Requests the Chief Executive Officer to provide Council Members, in confidence and by 30 November 2026, with the 2017 strategic review of the City Safe CCTV Network, or so much of it as can be shared, together with a summary of its recommendations and their implementation status.

3.       Requests that the outcome of the current review of the City/SAPOL Memorandum of Understanding and Operating Guidelines be reported to Council when that review is complete, including any recommendations on CCTV coverage, governance or investment, for consideration in the 2027/28 Business Plan and Budget process.
