Mayor of Camden, Cr Theresa Fedeli, said the community’s safety is of paramount importance to Council.

“Council staff are still 100 per cent there for our residents, even though we can’t physically be there at this time,” Cr Fedeli said.

“There are so many ways to get in touch with us for whatever you might need. Our staff are ready and waiting to assist with any request or community need.

“I find the ‘OurCamden’ app to be such a fantastic tool. You can use to make a request, set bin reminders and much more right from the palm of your hand and is easily downloaded from the Apple Store of Google Play Store.

“It’s also important to note that residents can access a range of eResources for their families from the Camden Council Library services website to keep you entertained throughout this difficult period.”
