Connect 2 Campbelltown Newsletter - Animal Management Plan, Lochiel Golf Building Master Plan and more
We hope you are managing to stay and warm and safe this winter.
New Consultation Opportunities
The Lochiel Park Golf Building Master Plan consultation is also now open. After initial input from local user groups, a Master Plan has been developed to replace the current building with a multi-purpose golf and community hub with a café and potential for mini golf and a play space. Will this plan work for you?
Participants who respond online to this consultation go into the draw to win a Council prize pack valued at $60.
Council’s Animal Management Plan has been reviewed and is now available for feedback. This plan provides guidance to Council and the public regarding day to day animal management arrangements and future decision making with respect to dogs and cats within the Council area. We invite you to have a look at the plan and let us know what you think.
Drop In Sessions will be held for people to chat with Council Staff about either of these projects and view the proposed design for the new Golf Course Building. We would love to meet you at the Lochiel Park Golf Building, James Street, Campbelltown on Wednesday 27 July, 9am-11am or 3:30pm-5:30pm.
Both consultations are open for feedback until 4pm, Friday 5 August 2022.
Consultation Outcomes
Recently we asked the community about our performance. 77 people provided us with information about our service delivery, facilities, customer service and communications.
The results of the Community Satisfaction Survey have been compiled and will be presented to Council at the 15 July meeting. If you would like to view the results they are available from the Council Agenda.
Local Government Elections
Enrolment
There is only a fortnight left to enrol to vote if you would like to participate in the upcoming Local Government elections as a voter or a candidate to the elections.
Whilst most people are already able to participate as they are on the Australian Electoral Roll, other people need to enrol to ensure that they can get involved.
If you aren't sure whether you are eligible to vote or nominate for the elections, please go to our Enrol webpage to find out more.
Are you interested in nominating for the 2022 Local Government elections?
Nominations open on Tuesday 23 August 2022 and close at 12.00pm on Tuesday 6 September 2022.
Becoming an Elected Member (as Council’s Mayor or as a Councillor) provides an opportunity for you to influence local directions and help create long term, positive outcomes for your Community and fellow residents. The role of an Elected Member is both rewarding and challenging. Council terms are for 4 years; they require commitment, responsibility and accountability.
If you are eligible to vote in your local Council elections, you are probably also eligible to stand for a position on Council.
