The only thing preventing a Service NSW centre from being established in Campbelltown is the state government, says local MP Greg Warren.

Campbelltown Council recently wrote to Mr Warren about the possibility of establishing a co-located Service NSW centre at Campbelltown Civic Centre.

Mr Warren lauded the council for the initiative but said ultimately such a concept would never have been needed if the government had followed through with its 2014 promise to build a Service NSW centre in Campbelltown.

Following the council’s resolution, Mr Warren wrote to customer service minister Victor Dominello regarding the issue.

Late last year Mr Warren also launched a petition to establish a Service NSW Centre in Campbelltown.

Thousands of people have already signed the petition with more signatures being added to the list still every week.

Local residents sign Mr Warren’s petition for a Service NSW centre in Campbelltown.

“Myself, council and the entire Campbelltown community know all too well the desperate need for a Service NSW centre to be established in Campbelltown,” Mr Warren said.

“The closure of the Campbelltown RMS office in 2015 has caused havoc.

“It is extremely inconvenient to travel from Campbelltown to the Gregory Hills Service NSW centre – particularly for the elderly and mobility challenged.

“I have conveyed those views to the minister for customer service.

“I applaud Campbelltown Council for their recent resolution regarding a Service NSW centre at the Campbelltown Civic Centre, however, ultimately it should not be a burden the council is forced to bear.

“This is an issue caused by the state government so ultimately it is an issue the state government must also resolve.”
