Advocating for Camden

As one of Australia's fastest-growing regions, Camden's population is expected to surge by 81%, reaching over 257,000 residents by 2046. We are committed to ensuring Camden's voice is heard across all levels of government and key industries.

The Time Is Now - Camden demands urgent investment in critical infrastructure, education and healthcare to support the fundamental wellbeing of our community.

What we are advocating for?

Rail Services

Southern Extension of Sydney Metro WSA (North South Line), South West Rail Link (Leppington to Bradfield), St Marys to Tallawong Metro Connection

Western Sydney Rapid Bus

High-frequency bus network and connection to the Western Sydney International Airport.

Road Infrastructure

Camden Bypass Extension, Spring Farm Parkway Extension, Leppington Road Network, Camden Valley Way, Raby Road and Rickard Road Upgrade

Schools and Education

Schools in Camden are at or over capacity, with only five public schools serving 23 suburbs.

Healthcare Services

A new public hospital near Oran Park and the redevelopment of Camden Hospital are vital to meet the healthcare needs of our growing community.
