Business Support Grants

The City of Kwinana is providing a grant for local businesses of up to $750 for the cost of new closed/open circuit television (CCTV) installations in the City that include a public angle field of view overlooking the road, footpath, front verge, or any other applicable public area that improves the overall security of the business.
