Advocacy is the process of working with decision-makers to secure positive change for the Camden community. Many of the key issues that impact our residents and businesses are outside of Council’s control as a local government entity. Council takes a proactive approach to partner with key stakeholders to represent the needs of our community and ensure our voices are heard. This includes working with State and Federal Governments to secure funding, policies and infrastructure that support our growing region.
