Inconvenient? Maybe. A sign of activity and investment? Most certainly!
The Dunbogan Bridge, Beach to Beach Shared Pathway, the resurfacing of Ocean Drive from North Haven to Bonny Hills, construction that has begun at the pedestrian crossing, the resurfacing of Ocean Drive from the school to Bold Street, the Schools to Schools Shared Pathway near Lakewood, and a new pedestrian refugee island between the Laurieton United Services Club and Grounded Espresso Bar...
Thank you to all levels of government for their investment in our area, in particular the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council who have also confirmed commitment to the Beach to Beach Shared Pathway which will see the amazing project become shovel ready.
The Camden Haven's amazing retail and hospitality sector have continued to embrace online ordering and delivery.

They have also been at the forefront of ensuring that the community feels SAFE by adopting low transmission practices such as no cash, marking out 1.5m spaces for queuing, developing customer flow that sees people order separately to pick up areas and, of course, the availability of hand sanitiser.
Let's make sure we acknowledge our retail and food outlets with thanks when walking past!
As part of our recovery strategy, the Chamber has been doing the groundwork on a number of key projects which aim to keep the dollars people spend in the Camden Haven as well as stimulate new spend to the Camden Haven through attracting new businesses, personal relocation and visitors (when travel restrictions are lifted).
Stay tuned for announcements to come soon.
Keeping our sight on a master plan for the revitalisation of Laurieton, an email was sent to all commercial property owners along the main street of Laurieton this week, inviting them to come together and take a first step towards an independent group to lead the revitalisation of the main street.
If you are a commercial property owner and didn't get the email, please contact the Chamber for meeting details via president@camdenhavenchamber.org.
Finally, Chamber is very excited to announce that we have invested funding into Camden Haven Gift Card through the Why Leave Town program.
Many local businesses have shared their support for the program which will see the use of the card from Lake Cathie to Kendall and all in between.
It is anticipated to provide local shoppers and visitors alike a convenient way to shop and an easy way to give the gift of local choice.
We thank Laurieton Residential Resort for coming on board as a major sponsor of the program and look forward to the whole community reaping the rewards of this project.
