25.01.2022 I was delighted to present one of our local residents, Keith Kent, with a community service award this afternoon to recognise his contribution to Campbelltown over many years, particularly with the Lions Club of Ingleburn. Earlier this year Keith received a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
25.01.2022 This week we've been celebrating the 80's in our Campbelltown 2020 project. Here's a flashback of my own to the 80's, can you guess which one is me? I thought it would be a good opportunity this week to model the haircut of the decade and see how the mullet works now. Check out all the highlights from the decade online now at www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au//200Years/1980sOurCampbelltown #Campbelltown2020 #200YearsTogether

23.01.2022 Today is Citizenship Day, a day we celebrate Australian citizenship and the peaceful, and inclusive society we share, and reflect on the role we play in shaping the future of our wonderful community. I am honoured and excited that I have been able to welcome 452 new citizens to our community this year, 212 online and 240 at ceremonies pre covid. Congratulations to our newest citizens, and my high regard to all citizens of our wonderful city. Here are some photos from the most recent ceremonies I completed for Sharon who is originally from Ireland, and Shella from the Phillipines. #CitizenshipDay

21.01.2022 Today marks the start of Police Week, a week to recognise the work of police officers across the country and remember officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. I'd like to offer a special thanks to our local police from Campbelltown and the wider Macarthur region who have responded to a difficult year with the professionalism and dedication we expect of them. Whether it be helping our fire-affected communities, working at quarantine hotels or travelling to the V...ictorian border to help with the Covid health situation, our local cops have done a fantastic job adapting to the challenges that 2020 has thrown at all of us. https://policeweek.org.au/about-us/

12.01.2022 It's safe to say it's been a tough year for our whole community and also globally. Today, R U OK DAY is a reminder to check in on the people you know and care about. If you have a feeling that someone you know or care about it isn’t behaving as they normally would, trust that gut instinct and act on it. Learn more about the signs and when it's time to ask R U OK? and then what to do afterwards. There are some great videos and resources online and I encourage you to check the...m out and reach out to those you care about today and every day. https://www.ruok.org.au/get-involved
