Australian singer Kylie Minogue was raised in Camberwell, and it is now also the home of actor Geoffrey Rush.
Recently, a furore has erupted amongst locals over plans to develop the 'air rights' over the Camberwell railway station, covering over the heritage-listed station building. Geoffrey Rush (a user of the station) led the community in an attempt to stop the development. A decision as to the fate of the station has not yet been made public.
