OK, I tracked down an earlier discussion which is quite informative. This is one bit of legislation you need to know, informatio supplied by StrataGuru Whale:
- The cameras should not invade resident’s rights to privacy in their units, so avoid positions that look directly at entry doors and windows;
- Compliance with the NSW Workplace Surveillance Act (2005) requires that Owners Corporation’s (O/C) and Residents provide advice of the surveillance to all contractors that they engage to work on the property. Our O/C covers that by placing a small CCTV symbol followed by a brief note on the bottom of all Work Orders that it issues.
