Six new CCTV cameras are now installed across neighbouring Keperra and Alderley, completing the north-west Brisbane safety-camera rollout previously announced for communities around The Gap.
The Queensland Government confirmed on 23 September that the wider $1 million Brisbane CCTV project had been completed in partnership with Brisbane City Council. Seventeen cameras were installed across six suburbs, including three in Keperra and three in Alderley.
Camera location choices
Keperra’s cameras are concentrated around Railway Parade and Dallas Parade. Brisbane City Council’s 2025 rollout announcement identified the locations as Railway Parade and Dawson Parade, Dallas Parade and Gilston Street, and Dallas Parade and Tully Street.
The three locations form a relatively tight cluster rather than spreading surveillance across the whole suburb. The installations are part of the neighbouring north-west network reached via the Samford Road corridor.
Alderley received another three cameras. Two were listed for opposite sides of the South Pine Road, Samford Road and Enoggera Road intersection, while the third was allocated to South Pine Road and Railway Place.
Council said in December 2025 that the Railway Place location followed a firebombing that had damaged two Alderley businesses.
Part of an eight-camera north-west cluster
Together, Keperra and Alderley account for six of the eight cameras installed across Brisbane’s north-west under the program. Mitchelton received the remaining two, both on Blackwood Street, while another nine cameras were installed in Fortitude Valley, Spring Hill and Bowen Hills.
The northside component was first funded through the 2025–26 Queensland Budget, which allocated $500,000 for CCTV upgrades across Mitchelton, Keperra and Alderley. A further $500,000 was allocated to the inner-city expansion, bringing the total government contribution to $1 million.
Linked to council monitoring network
Council described the new units during the rollout as next-generation 5-in-1 cameras, including speakers capable of issuing real-time warnings. The cameras feed into Council’s 24-hour Security Operations Centre.
Brisbane City Council currently says it operates more than 4,500 permanent, temporary and mobile safety cameras across the city. Camera locations are chosen in consultation with Queensland Police Service and community-safety partners, while footage may be monitored live by authorised staff and used for law-enforcement purposes.
