Campbelltown City Council: What your candidates said

Voters in Campbelltown City Council, to Sydney’s south-west, will decide on Saturday which candidates will make up the new council body.

Campbelltown has no wards: the 15 elected councillors represent the entire area. The current council, led by outgoing Liberal mayor George Greiss, has a Labor majority, with the party accounting for five seats.

The Liberals have four seats on the council, but were caught up in the party’s nomination fiasco, and have no candidates running in this election.

There are three independents (two of whom were voted in as Labor councillors), one Animal Justice Party representative and two Community First Totally Independent councillors.

The Sydney Morning Herald sent questions to each of the 73 candidates up for election at Campbelltown about why they are running and what they want to accomplish if they are elected. Of those, two responded.
