CCTV cameras were activated in the main street of St Leonards on Friday May 20.
Installation of CCTV cameras was funded by a $70,000 federal government election commitment.
The five CCTV cameras will cover the Murradoc Road shopping strip, St Leonards Hotel and the foreshore playground.
This week, Senator for Victoria Sarah Henderson joined City of Greater Geelong acting mayor Trent Sullivan to mark the switch on of the cameras.
“I want to congratulate the entire St Leonards community, especially the Beautification Committee, for its advocacy on this and other projects,” Ms Henderson said.
A further $430,000 has been committed to a St Leonard’s foreshore upgrade by the federal government.
“Every community matters,” Liberal candidate for Corangamite Stephanie Asher said.
“If elected, I am determined to ensure St Leonards gets its fair share of funding.”
