In 1985, the NSW Government released a landscape report on Camden Park Agricultural Research Station, highlighting its cultural significance amid urban encroachment. It described a complex cultural landscape, emphasising conservation needs. The site, now the Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute, is vital to agriculture and biosecurity, preserving the region's historical and cultural integrity.
