Mr Whitecross - asked the Minister for Urban Services:

In relation to the use of surveillance cameras at landfill sites -

(1) What is the purpose of the cameras at the weighbridges.

(2) How much does it cost to operate the cameras.

Mr De Domenico - the answer to the Member's question is as follows:

(1) The purpose of cameras at the weighbridges is to provide verification of all transactions queried by members of the public and commercial clients. The system provides the basis for proof of debt in legal actions, provides additional security at the weighbridges and fulfils audit verification of commercial transactions as per internal audit recommendations.

(2) The annual costing to operate the cameras is estimated at $6,300; of which $500 is for electricity, $2,000 for maintenance and $3,800 for labour.
