John Percy Camm (1873 - 1943)
Surveyor-General of Western Australia from 1923 to 1938. Born in Irrewillipe, Victoria on 2 Nov 1873 to John Samuel Camm and Hannah Jane Thorogood. A former employee of the state's survey department, he was a highly respected figure known for his extensive contributions to the state's exploration and development through various surveying and administrative roles, including being president of the West Australian Institute of Surveyors. He joined the survey department in 1895 and held many positions, including inspecting surveyor, district supervisor, and superintendent of South West settlement. Key achievements: He became Surveyor-General in 1923 and was credited with extensive exploration and trigonometrical surveys that aided the development of the state. He was also appointed chairman of the Railways Advisory Board and served as president of the West Australian Institute of Surveyors. He retired from his position as Surveyor-General in 1938 after a long and distinguished career. Camm's work was essential to the exploration and development of Western Australia.
