Our Team
The Camden Haven Chamber of Commerce Executive Committee is a volunteer committee made up of leaders and business owners from the Camden Haven community.
Stuart Bate
President
Stuart Bate has a heart for community and a mind for business. He loves to challenge the status quo and ignite questions from the audience. Stuart’s manner is engaging. He describes himself as a simple person who loves surfing, nature, people and never wastes a moment.
Stuart’s career variety spans from the heart of Australia to England and Canada – spanning the sectors of real estate, hospitality, construction, IT, sales recruitment, and business processing outsourcing. He shifted to community services and worked with people who were long-term unemployed, recovering addicts, and ex-offenders.
Wayne Heilman
Vice President
Wayne Heilman began his career in real estate in Cowra in 1981. Not long after this, in 1983, the company he worked with joined the LJ Hooker family. An advantage Wayne has found being part of such a well-known brand, L.J Hooker, is the ability to combine local knowledge with an international pool of buyers and sellers.
Wayne covers all of the market place including residential homes, smaller hobby farms, from 5 to 100 acres, Commercial & Industrial properties, vacant land of all types including development property and Business sales.

Jenny Peters
Public Officer
Born in Sydney’s northern suburbs in the late 1940’s, Jenny started her career in the travel industry in 1975 following a fantastic 3-week trip around Asia (got “the bug” so to speak).
Jenny moved to the beautiful Camden Haven in 1980 and part owner of Dunbogan Boatshed in the 1980’s whilst working in travel in Port Macquarie. In 1983, Jenny took over Camden Haven Travel and has been there ever since.
Jenny loves her work, arranging wonderful experiences for her clients and enjoy escorting tours to the four corners of the world with like-minded people.
MoreGreg Mitchell
Committee Member
Greg has been a resident of the Camden Haven for more than 30 years. Greg and his family spent 15 years on a small farm at Lorne and 16 years at Dunbogan. Greg’s children were raised the Camden Haven and attended Kendall Central and Camden Haven High School.
Greg and his family arrived in the Camden Haven after purchasing a lease over the Royal Hotel at Kew. Upon the sale of the hotel, they have since been involved in a number of business ventures in the Camden Haven and Port Macquarie, including an outback travel and fishing business, an indoor plant hire business and a café-restaurant in Port Macquarie. During this time, Greg returned to his profession, surveying, and operated from offices in Port Macquarie and Laurieton over a 25-year period.
