Camden Local Strategic Planning Statement
1
Camden Local Strategic Planning Statement (CLSPS) is a document which demonstrates how the
Camden LGA will meet the community's needs over the next 20 years. The CLSPS is made up of four
themes: Infrastructure and Collaboration, Liveability, Productivity, and Sustainability. These four themes
will be implemented through 21 local priorities.
Access to natural environment and local open spaces is consistently considered the highest priority in
the CLSPS. The COSDM takes forward this priority of providing high quality and accessible public open
spaces in the Camden LGA.
