Caitlin's Future Cities Address at the Cube
Caitlin R of Year 11 addressed the gathering at this year’s Anzac Day Service in Mawson Park. She talked about the military service of her great grandfather, H.J. Darley, who had been a POW in Changi and went on to become the Town Clerk of Campbelltown for many years. As a result of her inspiring speech Caitlin was asked by the Committee for Sydney to represent Campbelltown’s young people at the Future Cities event, and speak of her hopes and aspirations for Campbelltown and its role in the wider Macarthur Region at the ‘Future Cities’ event.
The event was held at The Cube on 19 May and Caitlin delivered an address to an audience of over 200 senior government agency, industry and Ministerial Representatives.
Caitlin outlined that public transport, care for the environment and the needs of youth were important areas for future Campbeltlown city planners. Caitlin also reflected on her great grandfather’s time at Campbelltown Council and how he helped transform Campbelltown from a rural town to a modern city.
