CCTV policy recommendation leaves final call with Central Coast Council The committee noted amendments to the CCTV policy and recommended adoption, but the minutes do not describe the changes or record a separate vote on the CCTV item. Council: Central Coast Council Meeting: 10 November 2026 Recorded status: proposed BRIEF Central Coast Council’s Governance and Finance Committee has recommended that Council adopt a draft Closed-Circuit Television Policy after noting amendments. The item was resolved by exception without debate, as part of a grouped motion that passed three votes to two. The public minutes do not detail the amendments or record final Council adoption. KEY FACTS - The committee noted amendments to the Closed-Circuit Television Policy. - It recommended that Council adopt the draft policy in Attachment 2. - The CCTV item was resolved by exception without debate. - The grouped motion passed with three votes recorded for and two against. - The minutes do not state the final Council adoption date or detail the policy changes. ANALYSIS OF THE RECORD - The source records an adopted committee recommendation rather than final Council adoption of the policy. - The available minutes identify the policy attachments but do not describe the proposed amendments or their effect on CCTV operations. - The vote reported is for the grouped exception motion, so it cannot be treated as a separate tally on the CCTV recommendation. QUESTIONS FOR FOLLOW-UP REPORTING - When will Council consider the committee's CCTV policy recommendation? - What changes are proposed in the policy attachments? - Has Council since adopted the draft policy? RECORDED NEXT STEPS - Council adoption of the draft Closed-Circuit Television Policy remains a proposed next step, not a decision recorded in these minutes. - The minutes do not specify when Council might consider the recommendation. SOURCE PASSAGES Resolution GFC-26/58 was resolved by exception.
