                   the replacement or supplementation of aging CCTV camera infrastructure

                    1. A review of the condition of existing infrastructure including identifying
                        areas requiring upgrades or repairs to meet modern safety and
                        operational standards. This review should also include a Crime
                        Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) report to ensure
                        that planning and design of the upgrades incorporate best-practice
                        safety measures, such as improved lighting, signage, and public
                        amenities that directly affect security.

                   and security in Hastings Street precinct, particularly regarding aging
                   infrastructure and limited visibility during peak periods; and
                C. Recognise that while this initiative aligns with the overall shire strategy, it
                   specifically focuses on the immediate needs of the Hastings Street
                   precinct and what can be done to support these concerns without delay.

            Carried unanimously.
