Andrew “Pie” Adams	Former councillor; Carrum Patterson Lakes Sporting Club	“I would like to thank Cameron on behalf of the sporting clubs of the area that he has assisted with promotion and videos. Running a local sporting club is hard work and done by volunteers. They need all the help they can get, to encourage sponsorship and membership. Cameron’s work in the community, especially through the Carrum and Patterson Lakes Forum and crime page has been fantastic. Not only keeping the local community informed, but also being a voice for the community in both Council and crime related matters, I know his work is appreciated by the locals of our area.”
John Ronke	Former mayor and councillor of 19 years	“Cameron has tremendous energy and knows his community well. He will make the perfect representative on Kingston council.”
Principal, Nicola Forrest	Cornish College	“Cornish College has appreciated Cameron’s passionate advocacy for our local community.

Cameron’s work is professional, persistent and of a nature that highlights advocacy and good will for others. His capacity and dedication to make a difference is commendable.”
Principal, Daniel Dew	Patterson River Secondary College	“Cameron, through his work with the community and Carrum and Patterson Lakes Forum, has been a great advocate and platform for our school to engage with the local community. Our dealings with Cameron have always been timely, honest and in the community’s best interest. He is committed to the local community and has been instrumental in gathering greater support for grass-root issues.”
Blaise Northey	Long Beach Tennis Club, Carrum	“Cameron Howe is a champion of Carrum and Patterson Lakes. He cares, listens, advocates and communicates issues concerning our communities. Ten years of service for someone so young is a mighty achievement. We are very proud of you Cameron. He helped out the Long Beach Tennis Club by taking a keen interest in our development. Cameron checked in regularly to see how we were progressing and we will always be grateful for his support over many years. The return to the community is an improved facility to be enjoyed by all.”
Peter Caspersz	Chelsea and District Basketball Association	“Cameron has done an enormous amount of work and study for our association in the past 3 years. Through his help and expertise in council knowledge and media work, we have been able to progress in our fight for more courts. I could not have had the contacts nor the energy to continue this push if not for Cameron’s assistance, and I have been impressed with his eye for perfection when it comes to his media work; in addition to his ability to get information for our project that I have not been privy to in the past. I personally congratulate Cameron on his work for us, but also the amount of work he puts into the local community, and I know so many that are also in appreciation for all he has done.” Discussions with schools and the council on potential sites have occurred.
Andrea Sfarlea	Former Bonbeach Primary School Councillor	“Cameron helped our [Bonbeach] school community get the ‘help is needed now’ message out and subsequently helped us receive the government funds we desperately needed. The joint efforts of everyone involved translated into a whole school and preschool rebuild, exceeding our best hopes.” “Cameron cares about the people in our community and is tirelessly working towards helping others for the greater good. The amount of community support Cameron has shown in the past three years is outstanding. We are better off because he is so invested and active in helping others.”
Jade Holi and Amy Le-Dowling	Bonbeach Farmers Market; Growing Green Thumbs	“Cameron’s involvement with Bonbeach Farmers Market and Growing Green Thumbs make him an asset to our community, and we are thrilled to have his video media showcase our community spirit. His creativity and skilled professionalism is always appreciated.”
Nino Cuciniello	Ercolano	“Would like to say thank you to Cameron for his tireless efforts in maintaining our local community Facebook page. This has given our family business Ercolano in Harbour Plaza a great opportunity to connect with our customers. The boat moorings in the lake opposite our outside dining area, is a fantastic draw card weather and COVID restrictions permitting for our locals to cruise down and enjoy all the eateries in Harbour Plaza. We really admire the time and effort Cameron has put into giving us traders a much-needed shout out during these challenging times, his diligent use of social media has assisted us all with a urgently required boost and bringing attention to all the small business in Patterson Lakes. Cameron’s efforts in driving works for the Mordialloc Freeway will also benefit this region moving, bringing in more people to enjoy our suburban water playground. Hopefully, Kingston Council and the local bayside residents will appreciate having a young focused person on there team. I personally support the creation of a local Traders Association, Cameron, and myself both share the view that having a local member on our team in council would truly help getting things done in all of 3197 area.”

Cam Leslie	Patterson Lakes Community Centre	“Cam is clearly a champion of the community. He was very generous with his time and advice for the Patterson Lakes Community Centre to bounce ideas off and offer community view points. Cam clearly has a passion for great community outcomes that permeates throughout his conversations and actions. He was available, supportive and a passionate community advocate in all of our dealings.  Our community relies on so few to step up to do so much. People like Cam who are proactive agents of change that advocate so strongly for great community outcomes is highly commendable.” Note: the volunteer association operating the centre has been dissolved.
Franz Grasser	Fishing industry spokesman	“Unlike many others he has always shown empathy to the fact that the community is heavily based and engaged in boating and fishing. If Cameron’s attitude were better reflected by our politicians and bureaucrats we would achieve more equitable outcomes for public policy in the area. His ability to communicate is also a highlight that contributes to effective public policy for the area.”
Deanne Semmens	Coast Guard Carrum	“Cameron has always been a large supporter of Carrum Volunteer Coast Guard, and over many years has been very helpful with the publicity of our events, such as our volunteer recruitment drives and annual Around the River Fun Run. Some of the projects he has been involved in are the upgraded Inner Harbour mooring facilities and requests for clearer maritime beach signage. He is constantly supporting Carrum Volunteer Coast Guard, as we strive for maritime safety for all waterway users in the local area. The Carrum Community is definitely a big winner with a constituent like Cameron Howe in it. Safety by all means.”
Hamish Mitchell	Mitchell Torre Real Estate, Patterson Lakes	“Cameron is a huge asset to the local area – for 10 years now he’s been an advocate and a voice for his community, putting in endless amounts of time and energy to ensure the local voice is heard. A lot of people will share their ideals online and do little to back them up – Cameron puts action to his words and has helped achieve and create some highly critical local foundations, including Neighbourhood watch and the Carrum & Patterson Lakes Forum. We have been delighted to be associated with Cameron and be given the opportunity to support his causes as he goes along, knowing he gets things done on behalf of his local supporters. Keep up the great work!”

One such example is his contribution to the Patterson Lakes Public Jetty – Inner Harbour. We sincerely thank Cameron for his tireless efforts in attending the countless meetings with local community stakeholders and Government authorities and their representatives, to make this happen. We admire and are very grateful for Cameron’s ongoing selfless dedication and motivation in improving our local and broader community.”

As a result Melbourne Water is now investigating a flow through solution for Lake Carramar, as has been successfully adopted in the adjoining lakes Illawong and Legana.”
Alison Yates	Patterson Lakes Quiet Lakes Owners Residents Association	“Cameron Howe has been an advocate for the community for several years. I first became aware of his work through a local issue and have been impressed by his determination to hold the various authorities to account. Cameron’s forensic investigation of the facts of an issue and his work to prosecute those issues and protect the amenity of Carrum, often at some personal risk, have been of great benefit to residents, many of whom would be unaware of an issue which had the potential to adversely affect the character and amenity of the their neighbourhood.”

Cameron’s local knowledge and familiarity with local and state government agencies and services within sand-belt suburbs makes him a first go to for advice and advocacy, which has made him a champion for positive change or to voice concerns via community awareness and public discussion.
