A proposal for extra CCTV cameras in Sydney's busiest nightspots is set to become a reality after the City of Sydney Council endorsed the plan.
At a council meeting on Monday night, council unanimously carried the proposal to install the 10 new cameras in Surry Hills, the CBD and Kings Cross.
The push for extra security follows the one-punch death of teenager Thomas Kelly.
Mr Kelly died after he was king hit in Kings Cross in July 2012.
After the CCTV plan gained the rubber stamp, Lord Mayor Clover Moore said in a statement the new cameras would bring the total number in council's city network to 97.
"Our entire CCTV network is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week and we work closely with the NSW Police Force, regularly providing video footage and intelligence," she said.
Recently Ms Moore took a swipe at the state government, which she claimed was responsible for law and order.
She said council had stepped in to fund CCTV because no one else had.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell said on Sunday co-operation between the state and city council had seen a reduction in violence in Kings Cross following Mr Kelly's death.
