Camden Animal Shelter & Community Education Hub

The $10 million Camden Animal Shelter project is proudly funded by the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program.

About the project

Camden Council has received $10 million through the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program to deliver the Camden Animal Shelter project.

Animal Shelter works will include:

  • A purpose-built animal shelter including adoption viewing areas with meet and greet spaces;
  • Animal housing designed in accordance with shelter medicine principles, sustainable design and Capacity for Care modelling; 
  • Designated exercise yards, enrichment spaces and a walking track;
  • Reception area, staff workspaces and public amenities; and
  • A multipurpose function room that will offer community outreach programs.

Following the close of the exhibition period, the project will move into the detailed design phase before a development application is lodged with the NSW Government mid-2024.

Timeframe

Construction of the new facility is expected to commence in mid-2025 and continue for 12 months.
