Connect 2 Campbelltown Newsletter - NEW Children's Policy, and review of By-Laws and Policies

We hope this sees you well in the lead up to Easter. Today we launch three important consultations and invite your feedback.

Children's Policy

This new policy confirms Council's committment as a Child Friendly City. It is a unique policy that was written in partnership with children and schools.

Do we have it right? We are particularly encouraging the little people in our Community to let us know. Participants will go in the draw to win a $25 Ovo Gelato voucher! Have a look here.

Final Call - Join our Cool Refuge Community Working Group

There is less than two weeks left to register your interest in this innovative project! Experts warn that in the next ten years we will experience a day of 50 degrees Celsius. How will our most vulnerable in the Community beat the heat? And what role can and should Council play to provide cool places to seek refuge?
