The latest mobile speed camera locations for Melbourne and regional Victoria have been published for January 2026, with authorities approving 2262 sites where enforcement vehicles may be deployed this month.
The Victorian Government updates the list of approved mobile speed camera locations on the first day of each month. January’s update includes six new locations and the removal of ten sites compared to December 2025.
Speed camera locations approved in January 2026
As of January 2026, there are 2,262 approved mobile speed camera locations across Victoria, covering metropolitan Melbourne and regional areas.
These locations indicate where cameras can operate; however, being on the list does not guarantee a camera will be active at all times.
Mobile speed camera locations added in January 2026
Six locations have been added to the approved list this month, including:
- Warrnambool: Aitkins Road, Raglan Parade, Princes Highway
- Hamilton: Mt Napier Road, Coleraine Road
- Toolern Vale: Diggers Rest–Coimadai Road
Mobile speed camera locations removed from the list
Ten locations have been removed from the January 2026 list, including roads in:
- Bell Park
- Hawthorn East
- Horsham
- East Melbourne
- Doreen
- Kyneton
- Buffalo
- Barwon Heads
One of two approved sites on the Princes Highway in Moe has also been removed, although a single listing remains in that area.
Why are mobile speed camera locations approved?
To qualify for approval, a mobile speed camera location must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- A documented history of speed-related crashes or road trauma within the past three years
- A validated complaint regarding excessive speeding from residents or local councils
- Identification by police as a speed enforcement priority
- Locations where fixed cameras or alternative enforcement methods are unsuitable
Drivers can view the full list and explore each site using the official interactive mobile speed camera map, which explains why each location qualifies.
Who operates mobile speed cameras in Victoria?
While Victoria Police decides when and where cameras are deployed, mobile speed cameras are operated by Serco, a private contractor that has provided traffic enforcement services in Victoria since 2007. Serco’s current contract was awarded in 2019 and has been extended until October 2029.
Victoria’s mobile speed cameras use Gatso T-Series camera systems, supplied by Sensys Gatso.
Trailer-based speed cameras may expand in Victoria
Mobile speed cameras in Victoria are currently installed in unmarked vehicles, but this may soon change. A recent trial of trailer-based portable speed cameras suggests the technology could be rolled out more widely. Sensys Gatso has signed a contract to supply these trailer-based units to Serco through to October 2029, indicating the trial was successful. Trailer-based speed cameras are already used in Tasmania, where Sensys Gatso supplies and operates the technology.
