The Leeuwin Lions Club will use state-of-the-art camera technology in a bid to prevent people dumping rubbish or stealing items at the Lions shed in Hillview Road, Augusta.
The club will use a special security camera donated by Margaret River based company Landmark Southern Ag Services and major supplier Silvan Australia.
Club president Ray Chuck said thanks should go to the two executives involved, Landmark’s Chris Carlsen and Silvan’s Aidan Sheridan who jointly arranged and presented the camera to the club.
“We extend special thanks to both of them for their efforts to help us beat a problem which continues to occur despite all our efforts to prevent stealing and the dumping of unwanted rubbish on virtually a daily basis,” he said.
“We plan to instal this new camera in a position where it will automatically photograph every person who visits the Lions shed during the day or at night.
“We will be able to download photographs straight onto a computer for checking details immediately.
“The new hi-tech camera should make a tremendous difference to how we cope with this massive ongoing problem which is costing the local community hundreds of dollars a year.”
