CCTV deployment

Published on 31 March 2026

Council has deployed its mobile CCTV 'Iris' in Armour Avenue, Underdale for a week beginning 31 March 2026 to monitor truck drivers' use of the road as a thoroughfare.

Council deploys its CCTV from time to time to assist with public safety.

We understand there are competing needs between security and public safety and the right to privacy, and we wish to assure you that the use of Iris is purely for public safety reasons.

Recordings

Any data recorded on Iris will only be reviewed if it is in relation to the request (in this case safety). Data will be reviewed by a council officer only if a witness can provide a specific date and time in order for the officer to revise the material. If any recorded data is useful, it may be provided to the South Australian Police for law enforcement/investigation purposes.

All CCTV recordings will be retained by the City of West Torrens for a minimum of 31 days. Any recordings or images downloaded from Iris for disclosure to a third party (such as SAPOL) will be retained for a minimum of 7 years. Any recordings that have not been downloaded and are subject to the 31 days retention will automatically be overwritten and, consequently, the information disposed of.

Concerns

Should you have any concerns or questions, please contact Council on 8416 6333, email info@wtcc.sa.gov.au
