How to Protect Your Home

The How to Protect Your Home flyer provides essential tips and guidelines to help homeowners safeguard their properties. It includes practical advice on securing entry points, maintaining safety systems, and preparing for emergencies. The flyer serves as a quick reference guide, offering simple yet effective measures to enhance home security and protect both residents and belongings.

The City of Mandurah has implemented a network of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras throughout key locations, including buildings, public facilities, and high-traffic areas. This initiative is supported by grants from both the State and Federal Governments.

The primary goal of the CCTV system is to safeguard public and private assets, deter criminal activity, and provide evidence for investigations. Cameras are strategically placed in areas prone to high pedestrian traffic, such as the Central Business District (CBD) and entertainment precincts. 

These "hot spots" benefit from the presence of CCTV as a deterrent against anti-social behaviour and crime and serving as a 'capable guardian' in these spaces.
In partnership with WA Police, the City has formalised its commitment to enhancing safety through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This agreement ensures that WA Police have access to CCTV footage and equipment to support their investigations.

Requests from the public

Access to CCTV footage by the public is restricted and will only be provided under legal orders or through a formal Freedom of Information (FOI) request under the Freedom of Information Act 1992.

For more information on submitting an FOI request, please visit the Freedom of Information (FOI) page on the city’s website.

All CCTV recordings are securely stored and maintained in compliance with the State Records Act 2000, with footage kept for 31 days.

For information on how the City of Mandurah is addressing anti-social behaviour, please refer to this flyer and the articles below:

• Graffiti issues
• Reckless driving or Hooning
