At the heart of Community Planning is a dynamic, participatory and consultative process that allows communities to have their voice heard and enables them to identify priorities and actions to achieve their vision - the responsibility of which is to be shared between the community and Council. Community-Council Action Teams (CCATs) are being established in each community to help develop the Community Plan and then to work together with Council to prioritise, scope and deliver the identified actions. Council is looking to establish up to 18 such CCATS throughout the LGA. The CCAT is a genuine partnership between the Community and Council. The responsibility for the delivery of the actions detailed in this Community Plan are project dependent. Implementation will rest either with the Council or jointly with the Council and the Community. Consultation between the Council and the CCATs on local issues is imperative for the future operation and existence of the CCAT partnership with Council. 6 PORT MACQUARIE-HASTINGS COUNCIL 7 CAMDEN HAVEN COMMUNITY PLAN 3.

INTRODUCING THE CAMDEN HAVEN The Camden Haven, with its coastal and semi-rural character, is a vibrant and connected community that celebrates local stories and values its natural environment and tranquil lifestyle. The area is attractive and unique due to a high proportion of protected land - bounded in all four points of the compass by natural environment retained in national parks and various reserves. The area’s natural attributes include expansive native forests, heathlands and waterways, which are overshadowed by the prominent Dooragan (North Brother) Mountain, one of the more dramatic landform features on the North Coast of NSW. It is this spectacular natural environment that draws many people to live here and will continue to provide a major draw card for tourism to the Port Macquarie-Hastings Local Government Area (LGA). Today the Camden Haven CCAT area comprises six villages, namely North

  • NORTH HAVEN - JAMIE ROBLEY - As Featured in Trailerboat Fisherman Magazine
    NORTH HAVEN - JAMIE ROBLEY - As featured in Trailerboat Fisherman Magazine The mid north coast of NSW has a number of excellent destinations to suit everyone from the serious offshore angler to the casual weekend family fisho. Pretty much everything from marlin and wahoo to bream and bass can be caught in the waters along this part of the coast, depending on the season. Just to the south of Port Macquarie is the mid sized town of North Haven, which is one of those very versatile places which would appeal to most people who enjoy casting a line. North Haven is situated on the northern side of the Camden Haven estuary system and there are several other small towns also in the vicinity including Laurieton and Dunbogan. So although the area has that laid back north coast appeal, it’s certainly not backwards as far as shopping and facilities go. I had previously visited the area on numerous occasions, enjoying the high standard of estuary fishing there. During my latest visit however, I got to sample the offshore scene and didn’t come away disappointed. My mate Wayne towed his plate alloy boat up from the Central Coast and we camped in our tents for a few nights at the Brigadoon holiday park. Sadly, some heavy rain greeted us as we arrived, which didn’t make for very suitable tent setting up weather. The rain soon passed though and we enjoyed a few days of fantastic weather and great fishing, with plenty of kingfish and teraglin to keep us busy. OFFSHORE OPTIONS It was interesting to check out the depths and reefs systems along this part of the coast.
