9 Local council CCTV camera exemptions
(1) A local council is exempt from section 11 of the Act with respect to the collection of personal information by using a CCTV camera that the council installs for the purpose of filming a public place if the camera is positioned so no other land is filmed (unless it is not reasonably practicable to avoid filming the other land when filming the public place).
(2) The local council is also exempt from section 18 of the Act with respect to the disclosure to the NSW Police Force of personal information by way of live transmission from such a CCTV camera.
(3) In this clause, public place has the same meaning as in the Local Government Act 1993.
