An elected Dutton Liberal Government will provide $8,787 from a revitalised Safer Communities Fund (SCF) to install CCTV security at the Beaufort Country Fire Authority station, protecting critical firefighting equipment and ensuring the brigade can respond effectively to emergencies.
Member for Wannon, the Hon Dan Tehan MP, said this funding would help ensure people in the Beaufort community feel safe as they go about their daily lives.
"This funding is a direct response to the concerns raised by our community. I’ve heard firsthand from Beaufort CFA volunteers and residents that protecting firefighting equipment is a priority, and we’re responding with practical measures to safeguard these vital resources," Mr. Tehan said.
"Our CFA volunteers put their lives on the line to protect us. This investment ensures they have the resources to do their job safely."
Shadow Minister for Home Affairs and Cyber Security, Senator James Paterson, said under a Dutton Liberal Government, the Beaufort community will be stronger, more secure, and better supported to tackle emergencies.
"Getting Australia back on track means keeping Australians safe – safe for families, safe for businesses, and safe for communities," Senator Paterson said.
"Projects delivered under the Safer Communities Fund will help protect local communities by ensuring they have appropriate security infrastructure in place, such as CCTV cameras, alarm systems, and security lighting."
This commitment is part of the Liberals’ plan to strengthen our local communities and get Australia back on track.
