The most recent invoice to Police for an instal ation on a single vehicle from April 2022
has a total cost of $41,400 (incl GST).

There is no specific annualised budget for mobile ANPR cameras. Districts determine
their needs at the beginning of the financial year and take into consideration any
additional requirements, such as aging technology or transferring a camera from an older
fleet vehicle to a newer model.
I trust you find this information useful.
