Heritage, history and character
Settled in the early 1800s, Campbell-

that has developed into a dynamic and
energetic city.
Campbelltown is rich in history and
character, with links to the city’s colonial
settlement reflected in the large number
of heritage properties scattered through-
out the city, including Glenalvon House,
Quondong Cottage and the Queen Street
Heritage Precinct.
A cultural city
The city’s innovative and dynamic arts
scene is showcased at the Campbelltown
Arts Centre which features an annual
calendar of contemporary exhibitions and
performances, as well as an interactive
Sculpture Garden and tranquil Japanese
Garden, complete with teahouse, koi fish
and waterfalls.
