The state government had forecast its Camera Detected Offence Program would make more than half a billion dollars this financial year, but is set to fall well short.

In short: Queensland has a range of roadside cameras to detect offences such as speeding, mobile phone use, and not wearing a seatbelt.
The government has significantly revised how much it expects to make from cameras with revenue in 2023-24 tipped to fall $94 million short.
What’s next? The cameras are now projected to make $409 million in 2023-24, followed by $465.8 million in 2024-25.

Brace yourself for a reduction in tolerance. Government relies on that speed camera income so if there’s a shortfall they’ll stop dropping the percent tolerances until we hit the 1kph over fines they hand out in Victoria.

    Government: so we need to make it look like we are encouraging people to drive safely, whilst at the same time wishing they actually don’t.
