Dear Community Member
Did you know that you're one of nearly 2,000 registered participants of Connect 2 Campbelltown who together made over 750 contributions across 13 different engagements throughout 2024? Thank you for contributing to the future of your community - your time is appreciated!
As we wind up the year, here are a few final updates.
CURRENT ENGAGEMENTS
Magill Campus Community Engagement Extended
Renewal SA has extended the engagement period on the Magill Campus to Monday 10 February 2025. Details of how to submit comments as well as further information about the project is available at this LINK.
COMPLETED PROJECTS
Lochiel Park Recreation Areas Draft Master Plan
Following consideration of the consultation feedback on 17 December 2024, Council decided to adopt the Lochiel Park Recreation Areas Master Plan as presented but excluding the proposals for the regulatory dog on leash and off leash areas. This means there will be no change to the existing leash arrangements at Lochiel Park.
The Community Engagement Outcomes Summary and accompanying Council Report may be viewed HERE.
FUTURE PROJECTS
Representation Review Consultation opens January 2025
Council is required to review its structure every 7-8 years to ensure fair representation for residents and a balanced workload for our Councillors. We've been working through such a review and propose having 4 wards, a Mayor and 10 Councillors from the 2026 Local Government elections.
Community members will be invited to comment on the proposed changes as outlined in the Representation Report from Monday 20 January 2025. Keep an eye on Connect2Campbelltown for further details and the opportunity to share your views.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION
Campbelltown Cool Spaces
With predictions of a long hot summer ahead, Council has established 'Campbelltown Cool Spaces' to provide community members with some respite. When a severe or extreme heatwave is declared by the Bureau of Meteorology cool spaces will be available at the Campbelltown Library, The ARC Campbelltown and St Martin's Anglican Church (Paradise).
Register HERE to receive alerts of when these spaces will be activated.
