A high-tech CCTV security system being installed around Cherbourg will have a bonus spin-off for local residents … wi-fi coverage for the town.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Security managing director Steve Carter told Cherbourg Radio excavation work had begun on the project after months of preparation.<\/p>\n

He said there had been a couple of minor setbacks in planning the cabling for the system but these had now been overcome.<\/p>\n

“That’s now given us the opportunity to provide an additional facility which will be community wi-fi,” Steve said.<\/p>\n

“With the upgrades that we’ve done and after a very brief discussion with Council, Council has agreed and funded the additional community wi-fi element to the system.<\/p>\n

“That will provide all the residents of Cherbourg, all the government agencies, schools and health with a stable wi-fi platform, which will be fantastic.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said the network would be looped through the powered fibre optic cable that his company was installing and would come back to a controller at the library before being linked to the NBN.<\/p>\n

“The tower at Council has about a 900 metre coverage. It will broadcast wi-fi right across the community,” Steve said.<\/p>\n

He said the poles that were being put in place for the security system provided a wonderful opportunity to create a network of sub-stations for the wi-fi coverage.<\/p>\n

“That will give everybody access to stable and reliable internet,” he said.<\/p>\n

“That’s a great outcome for agencies and all members of the community.”<\/p>\n

Steve said the cost for individual users was still being decided however the possibilities that Council could consider included periods of free access, a small payment for longer periods or the cost could be assessed on the quantity of data downloaded.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We have simply provided the functionality and Council will make decisions in due course about how they control that,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Using fibre optic opens up a whole raft of opportunities for the expansion of these systems.”<\/p>\n

These could include the eventual development of a “heritage” trail.<\/p>\n

Steve said at the conclusion of the project, Cherbourg would have one of the most advanced systems in the world, with not only a great camera system to provide community safety but also wi-fi which could be extended.<\/p>\n

“It is really Council that is driving the delivery of these projects and it is getting extraordinary value for money out of all of these items for community benefit,” he said.<\/p>\n

In February, Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien announced a\u00a0$987,000\u00a0grant\u00a0to install 54 cameras at strategic locations throughout Cherbourg.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The money came from Round\u00a03 of the Federal Government\u2019s $30 million Safer Communities Fund, created from the proceeds of crime.<\/p>\n

As part of an initiative to be known as “Cherbourg Security and Traffic Management”, Kingaroy Security will also be organising for 10-12 candidates to undertake comprehensive training to\u00a0gain security officer licences.<\/p>\n

“Then we will deliver a community safety element to Cherbourg by licensed security officers who come either from Cherbourg or have deep links into the Cherbourg community,” Steve said.<\/p>\n

“Once again, this is an initiative which has been fully backed by Council … it will retain about $300,000 of wages in the community. This is by community, for community.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
