Unless otherwise specified above audio recordings are not made as part of the footage.
Appropriate signage is available in areas where camera surveillance is in operation. Covert use of camera surveillance systems may be considered in circumstances where the law permits it.
Surveillance footage will only be viewed by authorised people in accordance with the purpose it was collected for or to ensure the system is operational.
GWRC provides KiwiRail Train Control with access to surveillance footage from the rail station facilities (stations, subways, bridges, carparks) to assist them with situational awareness on the rail network.
In the event of activity being recorded on our surveillance cameras which appears to be unlawful, we may pass that footage of the incident over to Police for the purpose of an investigation. Likewise, if the Police believe some unlawful activity was carried out, then they may view or ask us to hand over any footage that may assist in their investigation.
No attempt is made to identify individuals from footage except in relation to a reported or suspected incident requiring investigation.
If you would like to request access to GWRC-controlled camera footage you can contact us at privacy@gw.govt.nz.
