Question: Does the BCCM have a Practice Direction for handling CCTV records in a body corporate?
During their CCTV webinar, Frank Higginson and Chris Irons referred to a BCCM Practice Direction for handling CCTV records. Noting the webinar was recorded in 2021, is the Practice Direction available or is this a work in progress?
Answer: The Commissioner’s Office has published a factsheet on CCTV in strata.
While there is not a specific Practice Direction on CCTV in strata, the Commissioner’s Office has published a factsheet on the issue: Video Surveillance in a body corporate. The fact sheet includes input from Queensland Police Service, so that means you will be able to get a fulsome overview of CCTV strata issues (hint: it’s not a straightforward topic).
