Camden Airport is located approximately 60 kilometres south-west of Sydney and just 5 kilometres from the rural township of Camden.Originally, a private airstrip which was developed as an RAAF airfield during World War II, the airport is now used for general aviation operations and aircraft maintenance activities.

Environmental Strategy

CAL is committed to implementing and maintaining environmental management initiatives that promote sound environmental management policies and practices in all airport activities. These initiatives are clearly demonstrated in the CAL Environment Strategy that was approved by the Commonwealth Minister for Transport and Regional Services in March 2000.

The Environment Strategy has a 5 year timeframe and outlines management plans for specific ground-based environmental issues. The associated actions are designed to improve the overall environmental management of activities on Camden Airport. Objectives, targets and management actions have been developed for a broad range of environmental issues.

A copy of the CAL Environmental Strategy is available in pdf format.

CAL has made good progress implementing our environmental objectives and management actions since the approval of the Strategy. Our performance in implementing the Strategy is continuously monitored by our regulator, the Commonwealth Department of Transport and Regional Services.
