Community Management Committees
Under the Local Government Act 1993, Camden Council delegates some of its functions to Council's Community Management Committees. These committees of Council are responsible for the care, control and management of some of Council's facilities or the provision of community functions in the Camden Local Government Area.
This section includes information on:
The Access Community Advisory Group (ACAG)

The community are encouraged to become involved in the ACAG either through becoming a member or by raising access issues with the group.
