At its meeting on 4th March, the City of Port Phillip passed a motion seeking Victorian Government support and funding for an acoustic camera trial in the City of Port Phillip. This was introduced by Councillor Heather Cunsolo and passed unanimously. The motion also requests the Mayor to write to various state government representatives to promote this cause. It also proposes that council officers investigate the NSW trial of this technology.
The President of the BCNA, Tim Norman, spoke in support of the motion as did Heather Brown, a member and resident of Beach Street. Pleasingly, the topic generated media coverage such as this.
