Campbelltown City Council

Our Councillors and Our Plan for Campbelltown

An affordable housing plan for new development

Campbelltown is experiencing massive growth, with large amounts of southern Campbelltown planned for development as well as redevelopment of existing suburbs. The Greens will work for a 20% public and social housing target in the plans for any new major development in Campbelltown.

 

Council accommodation for domestic violence services

The Macarthur Legal Centre operates the Macarthur Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service, a vital program for aiding and advocating for victims of domestic violence in Campbelltown. The service is under threat from massive Federal budget cuts. The Greens will secure a rent-free Council building for the Legal Centre.

Protect wildlife corridors

Campbelltown is home to unique wildlife, including one of the only disease-free koala colonies in NSW. Campbelltown needs planning for protected wildlife corridors, to keep our local wildlife safe and healthy.

No high-rise without new infrastructure

Campbelltown has seen an explosion of high-density development in the last few years, placing a strain on local roads and services. There needs to be a clear, funded plan for the provision of new infrastructure before any new high-rise units are constructed.

Refurbish the Animal Care Facility, with longer opening hours and more humane conditions

The Campbelltown Animal Care Facility has been, despite the best efforts of dedicated staff, one of the worst-operating pounds in the state. The Greens will push for the full implementation of the Therian Animal Care Solutions recommendations for the facility, with $5 million in capital works and an $895,000 p.a. increase in the facility budget for staff, vaccinations and a volunteer program.
