Town of Bassendean (CCTV Rebate Scheme 2024/25)
Council Area and Suburbs: The Town of Bassendean covers the suburbs of Bassendean, Ashfield, and Eden Hill.5
The Town of Bassendean offers a rebate specifically for the installation of new residential CCTV systems to enhance community safety and assist WA Police investigations.4
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be residents of the Town of Bassendean (suburbs include Bassendean, Ashfield, Eden Hill).5
- Crucially, individuals holding a Western Australian Seniors Card are not eligible for this Town rebate; they are directed to apply for the WA State Safety and Security Rebate scheme instead.5 This explicit exclusion highlights the interaction between state and local programs, ensuring council funds target residents not covered by the state initiative.
- Only one application is permitted per household.5
- The property type must be residential, business, or community group.5
- Renters require approval from the property owner/landlord/manager.5
Covered Items:
- The rebate applies only to new CCTV systems purchased after 1 May 2023.5
- A key requirement is that the installed system must have at least one camera with a public angle field of view, overlooking areas such as a road, footpath, front verge, or other applicable public space. Proof via high-quality screenshots is required.5
Rebate Amount:
- The rebate covers 50% of the total cost of the new CCTV system.5
- The maximum rebate amount is capped at $200 per project/household.5 This relatively modest cap compared to other councils may suggest a focus on encouraging broader adoption of basic CCTV systems rather than subsidizing high-cost, high-specification installations.
- Funding for the scheme is budgeted, and applications are accepted only until these funds are depleted.5
Application Steps:
- Purchase and install the new CCTV system.
- Register the CCTV system with the WA Police Force’s Cam-Map WA online register.5
- Complete the online Application Form available on the Town’s website.5
- Upload all required supporting documentation during the online application.5
Required Documents:
- Completed online Application Form.5
- Receipts demonstrating purchase and cost of the new CCTV system.5
- Confirmation of registration with Cam-Map WA.5
- High-quality screenshots clearly showing the public angle field of view from the installed camera(s).5
- Bank account details (Account Name, BSB, Account Number) for electronic payment.5
- Confirmation of owner approval if the applicant is not the property owner.5
