(1) - (2) The current wet film speed cameras were introduced into Western Australia (WA) in 1988. The Camera Project Team consisted of Inspector Robert Moorman (retired), Senior Sergeant Ray Nesbitt (retired) and Sergeant Gregory Butcher (deceased). Senior Sergeant Nesbitt visited Europe in 1987 to view camera operations and assess the impact on WAPOL. Around the same time the remaining two team members visited other Australian states to discuss camera issues and the practical application for WA operations.
Continuous monitoring of the internet by the OIC of Infringement Management and Operations Section provides current research on speed camera operations in other jurisdictions and analysis reports by Dr. Max Frith of New Zealand and reports from the British Home Office. These reports outline the benefits of speed cameras, possible lives saved and recommendations for enforcement.
A tender is currently in process to replace wet film with digital cameras and utilise speed and red light cameras at intersections. As part of this tender process an evaluation team comprising of WAPOL and Main Roads WA members attended Germany, Holland and Sweden interviewing police and speed camera manufacturer representatives. Further details cannot be provided at this time due to probity obligations.
3) Original Business plans to implement speed cameras were submitted in 1985 and these were destroyed in 1991 in accordance with document retention schedules.
