Taxi security cameras
In October 2004, the Premier announced the Queensland
Government would fund the supply and installation of security
cameras in approximately 2700 taxis in Queensland. It is
compulsory for security cameras to be fitted to taxis in the
20 'taxi service contract areas' located throughout
Queensland.
The mandatory taxi service contract areas are:
•Bribie Island
•Brisbane
•Bundaberg
•Cairns
•Gladstone
•the Gold Coast
•Gympie
•Hervey Bay
•Innisfail
•Ipswich
•Mackay
•Maryborough
•Mount Isa
•Redcliffe
•Rockhampton
•the Sunshine Coast
•Toowoomba
•Townsville
•Warwick
•Yeppoon.
The installation of cameras was completed in most of these
areas by 31 December 2006.
On 9 September 2005, the Premier and the Minister for
Transport and Main Roads announced VerifEye Aust Pty Ltd* had
been contracted to supply and install security cameras in
taxis.
On 28 December 2006, Premier Peter Beattie and Minister for
Transport and Main Roads, Paul Lucas announced the expansion
of taxi security camera systems to the remainder of regional
Queensland.
Taxis are the one transport service where the fare is paid at
the end of the journey. The installation of security cameras
discourages fare evasion and makes drivers safer. Passengers
can feel safer too, knowing their taxi is under continual
surveillance.
