Data Sources & Methodology

SpeedCamsAU combines selected government open-data records with OpenStreetMap. It is a public-data directory, not a live or complete enforcement feed.

Mapped records

Dataset processed: 5 August 2026

Camera-location sources currently used

New South Wales — Transport for NSW

Mapped records are imported from all three published NSW open-data layers: fixed speed, fixed school-zone and red-light speed camera locations.

Australian Capital Territory — Data ACT

The ACT dataset includes fixed sites and published mobile camera deployment locations. A mobile record does not indicate a live camera.

Victoria — Road Safety Camera Commissioner

The fixed-camera register provides official coordinates, camera IDs, commissioning status, test dates and certificate links. Monthly Victorian Government workbooks separately list approved mobile and distracted-driver detection sites.

Queensland — Queensland Government camera map

The permanent-camera map supplies coordinate-level fixed, red-light, combined red-light/speed and point-to-point records. Combined systems are grouped under red-light locations while retaining their official type note.

Australia-wide — OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap supplements government data where a usable coordinate-level government feed is not available. Community-maintained records can be incomplete or stale.

OpenStreetMap licence and contributors

Coverage by jurisdiction

NSW, Victoria, Queensland and the ACT use government coordinate-level records. South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory currently rely primarily on OpenStreetMap. State totals describe this directory's mapped coverage and should not be interpreted as official enforcement totals.

How records are processed

  1. 1

    Fetch: Source files are downloaded without changing the original raw values.

  2. 2

    Normalise: Camera types, coordinates, state names and display labels are converted to one schema.

  3. 3

    Assign states: OpenStreetMap points are checked against Australian state and territory boundaries.

  4. 4

    Deduplicate: Records within 50 metres are merged, with government sources loaded before OpenStreetMap.

  5. 5

    Label areas: Missing area labels can be reverse-geocoded for navigation. A geocoded label is not a source verification of the camera itself.

  6. 6

    Create useful area pages: A dedicated area page is available when the data contains enough local records to provide meaningful road and map context.

Important limitations

  • A listed mobile site is not a live camera position.
  • Absence from the map does not mean a road has no enforcement.
  • Camera types and road labels inherit the quality of the source record.
  • Coordinates can be approximate, moved or retired after the source was published.
  • Always follow posted speed limits and official road signs.

Fines data

Fine and demerit schedules are maintained separately from the camera dataset and show their own checked date. They can change without notice. Calculator outputs are estimates only; the infringement notice and relevant authority are controlling.
