Creating Places for Our Community to Belong

Media coverage highlights the role community clubs can play in supporting the changing needs of their communities.

Campbelltown Catholic Club was recently featured in both the Daily Telegraph and on 7 News as part of a broader story exploring how clubs across NSW can help meet future community needs. The coverage highlighted a report by the McKell Institute which identified club-owned land as a significant opportunity to help increase housing supply across the state.

Our Club was showcased as a leading example of how surplus land can be thoughtfully developed to help address local housing needs through the creation of Siquilla Retirement Residences, our new retirement living community currently under construction within the club precinct.

Designed for people who want to remain connected to the place and community they know and love, Siquilla provides an opportunity for local residents to stay close to family, friends and the community they value. With more than 60 per cent of apartments already sold, many to local residents and Club members, the response from the community has been strong.

“Community clubs have a long history of evolving to meet the needs of the communities they serve. Siquilla is an example of how clubs can use surplus land to create housing opportunities while continuing to strengthen the communities that surround them.

We’re proud to be contributing to a solution that supports local people to remain connected to the place and community they know and love, while helping meet future community needs” said Michael Lavorato, Campbelltown Catholic Club CEO.

The broader story explored how clubs can play an important role in helping address future housing and community needs while continuing to provide the services, facilities and community connections that local residents value.

At Campbelltown Catholic Club, we remain committed to creating places where people can belong, connect and thrive, supporting our purpose of Living the Good Life Together.
