Local conditions in Lane Cove

Working in Lane Cove means understanding a village centre surrounded by bushland reserves and quiet residential streets. Lane Cove is a leafy lower north shore suburb close to the CBD, and our operatives plan around that rather than turning up and hoping. Where a matter runs across several days we rotate vehicles and positions so that a familiar car never becomes part of the scenery.

We work regularly across Longueville, Greenwich, Artarmon, Northwood and Riverview, and throughout the rest of Sydney.

What the law allows in New South Wales

It is worth being clear about the legal position. Observation in a public place is generally lawful. Devices are what the law controls. In New South Wales the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW) governs listening devices, optical devices, tracking devices and data surveillance, and licensing of investigators falls under the Security Industry Act 1997 (NSW), administered by the Security Licensing and Enforcement Directorate. Evidence gathered outside those limits is worthless to you, and it hands the other side a much better story than the one you were trying to tell.

Frequently asked questions

Will anybody know I hired an investigator?

No. Our work is covert, our vehicles are unmarked and we report only to you, using whatever contact method you tell us is safe.

Can I use what you find in court?

Material gathered lawfully and documented properly is generally admissible. We keep original files unaltered and can provide a statement from the operative if a matter proceeds.

How soon can you start in Lane Cove?

For most matters we can be working within twenty four to forty eight hours, and faster where the situation is urgent.

Can you put a tracking device on a vehicle?

Only where it is lawful, which generally means a vehicle you own. The Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW) restricts tracking devices and we will not breach it.

How will I receive the report?

In writing, with an indexed log and any supporting media. We can send it to you directly or straight to your solicitor.
