Camden Council Destination Management Plan (Summary) - Flipbook - Page 3
Message
FROM THE MAYOR
Camden is an amazing place to live, work and visit. I love
the Camden area, and my desire to share that love with
visitors is what guides much of my work as Mayor. This
Destination Management Plan is all about how we can
show the world what Camden has to o昀昀er and help make
Camden an ideal place to visit.
The Western Sydney International Airport is going to
change the face of Sydney. With this incredible piece of
infrastructure on the horizon, it is important that we
consider how we can leverage this transformative project
and enhance our visitor economy.
Camden’s rapid population growth and an increasing
number of visitors coming for leisure, or to visit friends
and family, coupled with Camden’s position in the heart
of the Western Parkland City and incoming transport
infrastructure such as the Western Sydney Rapid Bus and
South West Rail Link, give us a unique opportunity to
grow visitor spend in the area.
Over the past few years, Camden has faced a range of
challenges which have highlighted our community’s
resilience and ability to recover. This along with some
incredible visitor assets waiting to be discovered, with
diversity from national standard sporting facilities to
unique open spaces and the charming Camden town
centre, means we have the foundations for success.
Camden is a beautiful and exciting part of the world that
people come from far and wide to see. I’m excited for us
to work towards sharing it with even more visitors.
Ashleigh Cagney
Mayor of Camden
