QUESTION 1

Anonymous asked;

The Director of Planning and Sustainable Futures,responded to a question from Neil Doyle regarding street lights on Tuesday 14th March 2023 - quoted as: “The streetlights do not have the ability to collect data, images or monitor movement and have no internet capability or connectivity."

Given the manufacturers datasheet clearly states that the street lights are "smart city devices"...did council deliberately misinform the public, and what action has been taken to correct this?

Kath McClusky, Director Planning and Sustainable Futures:

Thank you for your question, just confirming that the lighting products selected for this project include no smart capabilities. The project will exchange inefficient and redundant lighting with energy efficient LED lighting.

Whilst the manufacturer may have smart capable lighting in their product range, these are not within the scope of this project.The replacement streetlights do not have the ability to collect data, images or monitor movement and have no internet capability or connectivity.

QUESTION 2

Anonymous asked;

In a previous response, council referred to the "Smarter Roads" machine learning (AI) CCTV installed at intersections by Vicroads and the Department of Transport and Planning, but did not address council owned or operated installations as asked. Can council please provide an asset register for all planned and existing installations or works that include such technology, including "interactive" areas, street signs, "art pieces", furniture or devices that are in or can view public spaces?

Hjalmar Philipp, Director Build Environment and Infrastructure:

Thank you for your question,

Council has not installed the Smarter Roads technology on its infrastructure. Therefore, Council’s asset register does not include any asset types relating to Smarter Roads or visual imagery technology.

Since the Council’s last response on Tuesday, 13^th June 2023, in regards to Smarter Roads, the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) have provided a list of CCTV cameras that are installed within the municipality. The Department have stated that the CCTV installed on the network do not have facial recognition technology. The submitter will be provided a list of these installations in the written response from Council.
