Invercargill City Council owns and operates fixed and body-worn CCTV cameras at various locations around the Invercargill City district. These cameras are in operation for several reasons including to help promote public safety, support the delivery of services, and to protect Council assets.
Temporary cameras may also be deployed from time to time for reasons including compliance monitoring, documenting the progress of work (e.g. on construction sites or similar) and to review service demand.
Signage indicates where fixed cameras are operating and additional information relating to camera locations, storage duration of recorded footage and access permissions for our CCTV network, can be viewed below.
Recorded footage of an individual and their activities is personal information and that individual has a right to view it in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020.
Requests by individuals for access to CCTV footage are treated as a request for personal information, and are handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.
Access can be requested at the Invercargill City Council or by sending the application form below to AccessCCTV@icc.govt.nz. Proof of identity will be required.
Where an individual believes a camera may have captured a crime being committed, they should in the first instance report the matter to the Police.
If a request to view the footage cannot be granted by an authorised council staff officer, alternative options, such as a written or oral description of the footage, may be provided where feasible.
