Access to the surveillance monitoring equipment will be restricted to authorised staff. CCTV is mainly used for security reasons, with cameras at entries, exits and around the outside of council facilities and buildings. There are some cameras within council offices and in customer service areas, near worksites, plant and fleet equipment. Computers generate "vital information and data which is considered to be council's property". The council is allowed to access and review system storage, download volumes, internet usage, suspected malicious code or viruses, email usage including content sent and received, hard drives, and mobile phones. Tracking surveillance may also be used.
