Mural's meaningful message

The amenities building at East Crescent, Culburra Beach now features a feathery new look thanks to a partnership between Shoalhaven City Council, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Lake Wollumboola Protection Association and Birdlife Shoalhaven. The organisations have united to highlight the importance of local migratory, nesting and water birds of the area.

Read the full article to learn more about the project.

Shoalhaven Heads Master Plan review

The Shoalhaven Heads Landscape Master Plan was developed in June 2014 in consultation with the community.

Given the age of the Master Plan, many projects have since been completed, or the priorities in the community may have changed, and therefore a review is warranted.

In order to review and update the current document, we are seeking feedback on the current Master Plan to identify the community's priorities for future projects. Consultation closes 20 November 2020.

Have your say: Proposed roundabout at Mollymook

The proposed roundabout at the intersection of Tallwood Avenue and Bannister Head Road has been approved for funding under the Federal and State Government Stimulus Commitment, which requires the project to be undertaken this financial year.

Consultation took place in November 2019, with the feedback received informing the current designs. View the plans and have your say by taking our roundabout survey, until Friday 20 November 2020.

Crown Lands Plan of Management review

We are currently in the process of revising three Plans of Management as a result of the legislation changes to the Crown Management Act 2016.

We are seeking feedback on how you value relevant crown land in Shoalhaven, any issues or challenges experienced or identified, as well as what you would like to see as the future direction for the specified categories of land in the Shoalhaven.

You can have your say on the Plans of Management until 5pm 13 November. Visit our Crown Lands Plan of Management project page.
