Campbelltown City Council unveiled its bold vision for the City of Campbelltown in front of Sydney’s leaders in government, business, tourism, health, education and sport, at a recent event at Parliament House.

The Mayor and General Manager kicked off the event, which focused on Re-imagining Campbelltown – a future vision for the Campbelltown CBD and the creation of more activated, connected and sustainable places. Council engaged specialist consultants Deloitte Access Economists for the project, who assembled a renowned team of specialist professionals with a wide range of expertise in urban analytics, economic development, urban design, sustainability, transport and infrastructure, tourism and leisure management, strategic and structure planning.

The Health and Education Precinct strategic vision was also officially launched at the event by Minister for Education, Rob Stokes. Premier of NSW, Gladys Berejiklian also made an appearance, and awards were presented to Jim Marsden OAM and Lisa Wilkinson AM for their efforts in promoting Campbelltown City to a broad audience.

Phase 1 of the project did not include physical works, but provided the first step towards clarifying the vision of the CBD and its future as a vibrant, dynamic, active centre for the greater Macarthur region. Throughout this process, the consultant team held meetings with an extensive range of stakeholders groups, and undertook a number of tours of the CBD and surrounds to establish context and understanding of the issues and challenges the CBD faces.

The next step of the Reimagining Campbelltown will be to develop an economic masterplan, as well as an implementation plan.
