Melbourne’s Lygon Street, renowned as the birthplace of the city’s world-famous cafe culture, has seen an uptick in crime over the past few years and is set to undergo a security overhaul with the installation of new CCTV cameras aimed at deterring individuals engaged in antisocial behaviour by enhancing monitoring capabilities for both people and vehicles.
Securing a funding of $260,000 from the state government, Melbourne has brought seven new cameras that will be installed between Elgon and Victoria Streets in Carlton. The total investment for this initiative amounts to approximately half a million dollars.
