The cameras, equipped with cutting-edge surveillance software, transmit live footage directly to a 24/7 security monitoring center, enabling officers to track activity and respond quickly to any incidents. This modern system is designed to deter unlawful behavior and assist authorities with critical evidence when required.
Minnippi Parkland, which features sprawling meadows, looped cycling and hiking trails surrounding a lagoon, and a scenic birdwatching deck, remains a favorite spot for families, nature lovers, and fitness enthusiasts. With the recent addition of CCTV cameras, visitors can now feel even safer while spending time in the park.
The rollout, which is part of Brisbane’s Suburban Safety Cameras program, follows increasing concerns over suburban crime across the region.
According to the Online Crime Map, Murarrie recorded 96 offences in the last quarter, from September to December 2024. These cameras are expected to help reduce criminal activities and offer additional support to law enforcement agencies.
