When you see the stripes it means that there is a speed camera. The locations for these new cameras are listed below. The one in question is located at the bottom of a very steep hill. Of course it is illegal for a radar or mobile speed camera to be set up in these sort of positions but its ok if its fixed.

The list above was and still is the list of upgraded sites from old wet red light film camera's to the new digital redlight / speed cameras.
From my knowledge the new cylindrical system was a new range of cameras Vic Pol / State Gov were trialing but the company was unsuccesfull with the tender.
The reflectors across the road way would have been a secondary system for corroboration purposes only, These Radar systems do not need so called reflectors as they use the Doppler Principle.
