CAMDEN IS THE
PLACE TO BE
The ‘secret’ everyone already knew – that Camden is a
fantastic place to live – has been con昀椀rmed, following
the conclusion of two surveys.
Council engaged consultant Micromex to give
residents the chance to comment on their level of
satisfaction with Council services and facilities, the
importance of services and much more.
The survey found that 97% of respondents said
they had an ‘excellent’, ‘very good’ or ‘good’ quality
of life in the Camden area. This was in comparison
to Micromex’s benchmark with other metropolitan
councils and growth councils, which were both only
93%. Similarly, 96% of Camden residents reported
being ‘very satis昀椀ed’, ‘satis昀椀ed’ or ‘somewhat satis昀椀ed’
with Council’s overall performance, compared with
the metropolitan council benchmark of 90%.
SUMMER SAFE
Over the summer, we launched our Summer Safe
campaign across our social media and at our two
water play spaces in Oran Park and Elderslie. The
campaign encouraged the use of sun protection
and proper hygiene measures, which allowed our
water play spaces to be enjoyed by all. Dozens of
kids were lucky enough to score themselves a free
‘Stay Cool’ bucket hat, as part of the campaign.

6
Earlier, the Liveability Census by PlaceScore,
which polled residents of Local Government Areas
across the country, found Camden was ahead
of the NSW and Australian averages in seven of
the nine categories. The Camden area beat the
average on Character, Environmental Sustainability,
Movement, Community, Housing
& Development, Open Space and
Management & Safety.
Council will utilise the data of
both surveys to inform future
improvements.
