The ACT is reviewing of its road safety camera program, to be completed in mid-2022. This will assess the impacts of average speed cameras in reducing crashes on ACT roads and explore new and emerging enforcement technology, with specific consideration given to mobile average speed cameras. The ACT Government will consider outcomes of the review before any expansion of its camera program is undertaken.

NSW is currently installing seven additional average speed camera enforcement zones in the Sydney metropolitan area. This will bring the total road length covered by these cameras to around 860km. The cameras will be fixed and will only target heavy vehicles.

The NT is planning rollout of average speed cameras. This includes legislative changes, data analysis, site identification and procurement.
Types of cameras and the extent of coverage is yet to be determined. However, it is anticipated that the focus will be on high-risk roads in regional areas and cameras will cover all vehicle types.
Deployment is expected in medium term, noting challenges associated with infrastructure, power supply, asset security and maintenance.

No plans to deploy or extend the coverage of average speed cameras. However, SA’s Road Safety Strategy to 2031 recognises the important role that automated enforcement, including average speed cameras, play in deterring dangerous or high-risk road use.

The Tasmanian Department of State Growth engaged the Centre for Automotive Safety Research (CASR) to help identify technologies for priority implementation. CASR advised that reintroducing mobile speed cameras would provide the greatest safety benefit.
The Tasmanian Government is expecting to implement a mobile speed camera program in the first half of 2022. This will have capacity to increase levels of enforcement over time and implement emerging technologies including mobile average speed cameras.
Tasmania has also undertaken preliminary analysis to identify potential mobile speed camera locations. The results of this analysis are yet to be finalised.

Plans to progressively increase deployment of fixed average speed cameras and explore options for deployment of mobile cameras. Research also underway on options to enforce speeding for all vehicle types, including motorcycles.
Total km covered by average speed cameras will depend on the outcome of research into where the cameras should be deployed. Funding secured to install two new average speed camera networks.
