2024 Campbelltown City Council election

Sustainable Australia Party is an independent community movement with a science and evidence-based policy platform. We have developed a broad policy platform with sustainable solutions to address Australia's growing economic, environmental and social problems.

We are the only political party to put our environment first - and therefore our health, economy and quality of life.

SAP is campaigning to:

  • Protect our environment
  • Stop overdevelopment
  • Stop corruption

There's also much more in our broad policy platform.


Cameron McEwan for Campbelltown City Council

Cam is in his late 20s and moved into the area with his now-wife several years ago after falling in love with it while working as a courier at the time. Also an active member of local club ‘Campbelltown Joggers’, Cam has a unique perspective his hobby provides him in exploring new places such as parks and streams.

If elected in September, Cam will address the big picture issues like protecting our environment and creating a more transparent planning system in order to reign in unsustainable overdevelopment. He will also advocate for the infrastructure and services that our community desperately needs. With careful planning, Campbelltown has a bright future ahead of it and Cam (pictured below with wife Amy) wants to actively lead this.

Campaign issues and policies

In the 2024 Council election, Cameron McEwan and all Sustainable Australia Party candidates are campaigning to protect our environment, stop overdevelopment and stop corruption:

Protect our environment and green spaces

  • Preserve and enhance our beautiful outdoor spaces including our parks and bushland areas.
  • Take real action on climate change at a local level, including stronger laws to prevent inappropriate land and tree-clearing.
  • Adopt a biodiversity and native species program including land and marine animal habitat protection.
  • Aim for a zero waste outcome by reducing then eliminating local waste production and increasing recycling and repair capabilities, including through the establishment of a local repair cafe in Campbelltown.
  • Support sustainable transport initiatives including:
    • Better bus and rail services to ease congestion and improve local travel times.
    • Better and safer bicycle networks including a fully connected network throughout the Campbelltown area.
    • Better and safer pedestrian infrastructure, including more access and lighting in parks, lanes and other walkways.

Stop overdevelopment

  • Return real planning power to local communities through proper engagement, rather than state government property industry appointees on so-called 'independent planning panels'.
  • Reject the State Government's proposed housing growth targets and determine new targets following a full audit of local infrastructure capacity and proper community consultation.
  • Deliver new community infrastructure before more housing density is approved (including new schools, hospitals, public transport, roads, recreational and sporting facilities, green space, etc).
  • Ensure that planning and zoning changes protect Campbelltown's environment, heritage and local liveability (e.g. access to direct sunlight, scenic views and open space).

Stop corruption and increase transparency

  • Adopt more transparent reporting of political lobbying and all financial contributions, including the requirement for all Councillors to declare any non-personal time they spend with registered lobbyists and property developers.
  • Campaign to ban all property developer donations and contributions to political parties and all candidates - including at federal level, which is often used to support state or local government candidates.

And much more. including:
