The reopening of local facilities rolls on with the Campbelltown pound – also known as the Animal Care Facility or ACF – set to open to the public from next Tuesday, June 9.
Also reopening on the same date will be the Campbelltown civic centre customer service area on the ground floor of council’s Queen Street administration building.
It will be open from 8.30am to 4.30pm, while the ACF will be open from 10am to 4.30pm and with no more than four customers allowed in both the office and cattery at any time.
No more than 12 people will be allowed in the kennel area at the same time.
To support dog and cat owners, non-mandatory release fees will continue to be waved for impounded animals.
“We’re thankful for our community’s understanding and diligence in following the advice of health experts during this difficult period,” says Mayor George Brticevic.
“While it’s a great thing that we are able to gradually open our facilities to the public again, it is really important that everyone continues to follow the advice of health authorities to ensure the risk remains minimal,” Cr Brticevic said.
“If you’re able to use our online services then we strongly encourage you to continue doing so where possible,” he said.
All development applications, construction certificates, complying development certificates and subdivision certificate applications will remain an online only service from the NSW Planning Portal.
People are also encouraged to be aware of signposted parking times and other restrictions as rangers will be progressively resuming their regular duties over the coming weeks.
Camden Council has approved the return to sport for residents immediately, with a number of conditions in place.

- 40 square metres to be allocated for groups of 10;
- Arrive dressed and ready to train, play sport and leave immediately;

- Spectators not permitted. One parent or caregiver is permitted for supervision purposes and if feasible are encouraged to wait in their car or outside venue to avoid gatherings;
- Only toilets to open, no other facilities will be open to minimise contact;
- Attendance sheets made available to the clubs and associations to ensure contact tracing.
