Greener Places, Healthier Waterways: A Vision for the Camden Green and Blue Grid

Camden Council has developed a long-term strategic vision to create greener places and healthier waterways across the Camden area. We want to work with the community to create a local Green and Blue Grid network that is accessible, connected, healthy, maintained and valued.

The Greener Places, Healthier Waterways: A Vision for the Camden Green and Blue Grid outlines Council's approach for joining and enhancing green open spaces, biodiversity corridors, riparian areas, and natural bushland (the Green Grid) using creeks, rivers and lakes (the Blue Grid) as the spine for these connections.

Connecting the Green and Blue Grid supports the delivery of a sustainable, liveable and healthy community - enabling people to move comfortably between key destinations such as open spaces, schools, workplaces, town centres and transport hubs. It also helps to cool the urban environment, restore and reconnect habitat and biodiversity corridors for wildlife, and provide new walking, cycling and recreational trails for people to explore the Camden area.

Camden Bushcare is an environmental volunteer program coordinated by Camden Council to encourage local communities to actively participate in managing and maintaining the remnant urban bushland areas in the Camden local government area.

Connect with Nature encourages the community to explore our unique natural environment by going on quest to find nest boxes through Harrington Forest and to create a habitat garden in their own backyards to provide homes for lizards, bees and frogs.
