Delivering for Camden region: 100’s of new businesses open, low unemployment, infrastructure investment in the $billions

Friday, 03 May 2019

Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor has outlined the wins for the Camden region under the Coalition Government. What’s happening around Camden >>

“With large numbers of new businesses opening up, low unemployment and Federal investment in the area’s infrastructure in the billions of dollars, Camden is thriving,” Mr Taylor said.

“I spend a lot of time here – working as well as relaxing; you’ll probably see me in the Park Run or the cycle club races, or cheering on the kids’ comps at Narellan Sports Hub and the footy in winter. I’ll be at the Camden junior rugby league this weekend.

“The Camden Show is one of the best weekends of the year for me. It was great to chat to so many people at the show last month.

“This is a strong community, rich in history and we need to get infrastructure and population planning right to support the growth.

“Let’s keep the momentum happening!”
