Draft Camp Creek Master Plan
We invite the community to review Council’s Draft Camp Creek Master Plan and provide feedback on the future of this important natural corridor. This draft plan has been developed with input from environmental groups, specialists and key stakeholders, who we thank for their valuable contributions throughout the process. Now it’s your turn to give us your thoughts
We are seeking feedback on:
Habitat protection and sensitive environmental areas
Walking trails and community access connections
Native planting, revegetation and shade opportunities
Stormwater, drainage and litter issues
Education, signage and local stories or wildlife information
Which actions and improvements should be prioritised first

Why is this plan important? Camp Creek is a small but ecologically significant waterway that provides important habitat, improves environmental health and offers valuable recreational and community connections.
Feedback closes 21 June 2026. For more information and to have your say: www.warwyn.tas.gov.au/projects/camp-creek
Behind Every Number is a Child. What is the Data Really Telling Us?
Connected Beginnings Lutruwita warmly invites you to attend the upcoming Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) Community Data Workshop. This free community workshop will bring together families, educators, early years professionals, service providers, community leaders and stakeholders to explore what the AEDC data is telling us about children and families in our community, and how we can work together to create positive change for children in Pataway/Burnie River community.
The AEDC provides valuable insight into children’s development across five key domains linked to health, wellbeing, learning and school readiness. More importantly, it provides an opportunity for communities to come together, reflect on local strengths and challenges, and identify meaningful actions that can support children to thrive at home, at school and throughout life.
The workshop will include discussion around:
- What the local AEDC data means for our community
- How children’s development is tracked across five key domains
- Simple ways to support children’s growth and school readiness
- Community strengths, ideas and opportunities for collective action

We are pleased to welcome Jill Clennett, AEDC State and Territory Coordinator, and Michael Dempsey, Manager, Early Years Research and Data from the Department for Education, Children and Young People (DECYP), who will support discussion around the data and how communities can use it to guide positive outcomes for children and families.
