The allocated budget for 2024/25 has now been exhausted and pre-approval applications for the CCTV Rebate Scheme have now closed. Information for the 2025/26 Rebate Scheme will be available end of July 2025. The Terms and Conditions do not allow for rebates to be issued on CCTV systems installed prior to Pre-approval.
City of Wanneroo residents, businesses and community groups can apply for a rebate of up to 30 per cent off the cost of a new CCTV installation to a maximum of $500.
The CCTV Rebate scheme aims to reduce crime and empower residents to take a proactive approach to crime prevention by supporting the purchase and installation of hard-wired CCTV systems.
A 21st century upgrade to neighbourhood watch, the program aims to increase the number of CCTV systems within the City to help to make our community safer for everyone.
