The former Camden police barracks, now vacant since 2011, represents a risk of neglect and disrepair. The Tharawal Local Aboriginal Land Council, which acquired the site in 2020, has yet to disclose plans for its future use. The community seeks clarity on whether the building will be utilized or sold.

Designed by James Barnet, it features historical architectural elements, including a paved verandah and brick chimneys. Currently vacant, it is recognized for its heritage value within the Camden community.
