work is especially important as the

population of Campbelltown is steadily

expanding and the demand for active

and passive leisure is increasing.

Industries and employment

Manufacturing is an important part

of the local economy and is primarily

based in Ingleburn and Minto. This

sector continued to sustain itself

through the global financial crisis and

is currently moving towards a greater

degree of specialisation and niche

manufacturing.

Jeff Lawrence says, “The number of

precision manufacturing businesses

is increasing in Campbelltown. That

will be a cornerstone of our future

industrial base, but we are also seeing

activity and market interest in health

and education due to the location of

Western Sydney University and both

the Campbelltown Public and Private

Hospitals. A lot of employment is

anticipated to be generated in health

and education, based on our city’s

significant health and education

assets.

“AlongwithMacarthurSquareshopping

centre, another large shopping facility is

the Campbelltown Mall operated by the

Perron Group who is based in Western

Australia. They have been retailers in

Campbelltown for many years and just

recently, they have talked to us about

future plans for their site. Retailing is

a significant employer for us and we’re

working closely with local businesses

suchas this toensuresustainable future

growth, as well as increase employment

opportunities for our residents.”
