Sanctuary Lakes Resort - gated community:

The co-ordinated security system provided for residents at Sanctuary Lakes Resort (SLR) is in three parts:
Mobile road patrols
Residential back-to-base Alarm System monitoring
Monitoring by Stay Safe Security Pty Ltd, a specialist electronic monitoring station.
Since 1 July 2015, the security service has been provided by SLR SECURITY Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanctuary Lakes Resort Services Ltd (SLRS).
Security hut 002SLR Security is based in the Security Office on the corner of Sanctuary Lakes North Boulevard and Broadbeach Circuit at the entry to the Lakeside Central gated community.
In previous years, the service had been provided by ClubLINKS Security as a contractor to SLRS. When their contract expired on 30 June 2015, the Board of SLRS decided to bring the delivery of security services “in house”. SLR Security has engaged Stay Safe Security to provide monitoring services through their call centre.
Mobile Road Patrols
A Resort Services Officer (RSO) is always on duty at Sanctuary Lakes Resort, 24 hours every day. On average, he will pass by each house in the Resort three times each day in addition to other duties which take him to random spots in SLRS irregularly. He watches for unusual or illegal activities. He is NOT a police officer but is in regular contact with the local police and collects evidence where appropriate.
There are security cameras at key locations including the entry and exit Boulevards. These cameras are remotely recorded to disc along with the date & time. These records can be used by both Security and police to identify illegal or inappropriate activities. Evidence collected in this manner has been of use to Victoria Police in the past.
Gated neighbourhood sparks social concerns

A Melbourne community with its own security force and CCTV network is beefing up its $800,000 safety system, despite concerns that exclusive neighbourhoods create a ''two-phase society''.
Sanctuary Lakes Resort - near Point Cook - already has number plate recognition technology at its single entrance and a panic button in every home. Now it plans to install new cameras in two roving 24/7 security vehicles.
