Description of the Flag

The City of Campbelltown is a local government area in the south west of the Sydney metropolitan area. Settlements at Campbelltown and Ingleburn were founded by Governor Macquarie in 1820. Campbelltown has grown to become a regional centre for south-western Sydney. The municipality was created in 1882, merged with Ingleburn in 1949, and was designated a City in 1968.

The city flag (see http://www.macarthuradvertiser.com.au) is white with council's corporate logo accompanied by the text "campbelltown city council" in black. The logo is made up of a green leaf shape positioned vertically, representing the area's bushland, a blue arch at the bottom (meeting the green at the bottom right) as a symbol of water, particularly the Georges River, and a red shape, taken from the red mural crown of the City's arms, and also forming a downwards pointing 'C' for Campbelltown City Council. The blue and green curves spread apart from each other towards the top left of the logo, symbolising wide open spaces. The logo as a whole takes on an active human form, in reference to sporting nature and the legend of Fishers Ghost. The logo and the older heraldic emblems of the City can be seen at the city website, http://www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au/Emblems.
