Applications are now open for the 2026 CCTV Grant Program to deploy additional cameras in high-traffic and high-density areas with known hotspots of crime and antisocial behaviour.
The WA Government is providing funding to local governments to install or upgrade CCTV cameras in a bid to stamp out neighbourhood crime and anti-social behaviour.
The CCTV Grant Program funding forms part of a $22.5 million 2025-26 Community Safety election commitment to provide additional resourcing to tackle criminal activity.
The Department of Local Government, Industry, Regulation and Safety (LGIRS), in collaboration with the WA Police Force, is delivering a strategic expansion of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) camera coverage across Western.
By deploying additional cameras in high-traffic and high-density areas with known hotspots of crime and antisocial behaviour, the technology will provide significant public safety benefits for the community.
Eligible local Government Authorities (LGAs) can apply for a grant for the following fixed camera types (as per Australian Standards AS/NZS 62676.1.1:2020 or AS 4806.2-2006):
Eligible local governments can apply by completing the CCTV Grant Application Form, demonstrating how the funds will be used to address community safety concerns in areas of high crime and antisocial behaviour.
More information on the application process can be found in the CCTV Grant Program Guidelines.
Completed application forms are to be submitted to lg.electioncommitments@lgirs.wa.gov.au no later than COB Monday 18 May 2026. Late applications will not be accepted.
