Claymore: Broadening Horizons Within the Campbelltown LGA
Claymore is evolving into a vibrant, mixed-tenure community within the Campbelltown Local Government Area (LGA), with exciting opportunities to broaden its horizons and create a more inclusive and thriving environment.
Key Highlights of the Transformation
New Housing Developments
Plans include 1,610 new homes spanning private, social and housing for older residents - laying the foundation for a renewed and flourishing community.
Demographic Shifts
The area is experiencing notable changes, including:
- An Increase in Families with Children: Enriching the community’s vibrancy and strengthening the demand for family-focused services.
- A Rise in Migrant Families: Many arrive without close family networks, emphasising the need for culturally sensitive support systems.
- Faith-Based Diversity: With up to 45% of new residents identifying with the Islamic faith, Claymore is becoming a beacon of multicultural growth.
Land Ownership and Development Opportunities
Most vacant land and community premises are owned by the Government or Landcom, offering significant potential for developing essential facilities and shared spaces for all residents.
Background
Since the 1970s, Claymore has faced a series of socio-economic challenges that have left the community in a difficult cycle of poverty and hardship. The area’s physical isolation, limited access to community facilities and a combination of high unemployment, crime rates and welfare dependency have significantly impacted residents’ quality of life.
Key Community Challenges
Strain on Facilities and Open Spaces
Claymore’s population has more than doubled, yet there has been no proportional increase in essential amenities such as community facilities, playgrounds or open green spaces.
Evolving Diversity, Limited Support
The area has experienced a significant increase in cultural diversity among its residents, but there remains a lack of tailored programs and support systems to foster inclusion and connection.
Challenges for New Migrant Families
Many new migrant families arrive without local family or social support networks. These families often face cultural adjustment barriers and require greater access to mental health and community services to help them thrive.

🕌 Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
Every Muslim should have a Will (Wasiyyah) that complies with both Islamic principles and Australian law.
Join us for an informative session with Abu Muneer Ismail Davids (Trustee, Awqaf Australia) to learn why having an Islamically valid Will is important and how to prepare one.

Who am I as a Muslim?
It's a question many of us have never truly taken the time to ask ourselves.
We identify as Muslims, but have we ever reflected on what that really means? How should it shape the way we think, the way we act, and the way we live? Come and discover the answer.
