Populations are counted and estimated in various ways. The most comprehensive population count available in Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of Shoalhaven City. To provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP) numbers for Shoalhaven City. See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to use each one.

Shoalhaven City is bounded by the Wingecarribee Shire and the Municipality of Kiama in the north, the Tasman Sea and Jervis Bay Territory in the east, the Eurobodalla Shire in the south and the Palerang and Goulburn Mulwaree Council areas in the west.

Land was progressively cleared for agriculture and timber getting. By the 1850s townships were established in Berry, Bomaderry, Kangaroo Valley, Milton, Nowra and Ulladulla, acting as service centres for the surrounding farming districts. Some growth took place in the late 1800s. Significant development occurred during the post-war years, particularly in the coastal areas. Rapid growth took place in the 1970s and 1980s, as increasing numbers of people sought housing for retirement and holidays. The population grew from about 29,000 in 1971 to nearly 58,000 in 1981. The population continued to increase during the 1990s, rising from about 68,000 in 1991 to 83,000 in 2001. Growth continued between 2001 and 2011, although at a slower rate, with the population rising to nearly 91,000 in 2011. Much of the recent growth has been in the localities of Sanctuary Point and Worrigee. Land use Land use Shoalhaven City is a regional and growing residential and tourist area, it is the most visited LGA in NSW outside of Sydney. The City encompasses a total land area of about 4,561 square kilometres, including substantial areas of national park, state forest, bushland, beaches and lakes.

    Report Cover Page ACERA Project 0605 Title Statistical Methods for Biosecurity Monitoring and Surveillance Author(s) / Address (es) David Fox, University of Melbourne Material Type and Status (Internal draft, Final Technical or Project report, Manuscript, Manual, Software) Final Report Summary This report investigates the applicability of traditional methods of analysing surveillance data to biosecurity risks, and explores some more recent innovations designed to detect subtle trends and anomalous behaviour in data over space and time. In particular, it examines control charting and syndromic surveillance methods, and explores how useful they are likely to be in dealing with typical biosecurity disease and pest surveillance. If focuses on disease detection, and methods for optimising surveillance networks and robust methods for minimising levels of inspection. This work provides a proof of concept of these approaches. The case studies, while based on real contexts, are intended only to be illustrative. If the tools are considered to be potentially useful, the next stage would involve development of specific applications to trial their utility.

  • Local Plumbing Regulators in NSW On-Site Plumbing and Drainage Compliance and Inspections
    Local plumbing regulators in NSW On-site plumbing and drainage compliance and inspections This document outlines who performs the functions of the plumbing regulator in NSW. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011 NSW Fair Trading is the plumbing regulator in New South Wales. The Plumbing Code of Australia is the technical standard for compliance throughout NSW. It is the responsibility of the plumbing regulator in each area to set requirements for inspections of on-site plumbing and drainage. Fair Trading’s area of operation includes all areas in which properties are provided with services (either drinking water, recycled water or a sewerage service) by Sydney Water Corporation or Hunter Water Corporation. This area of operation stretches from Gerringong in the south (the Illawarra), to Newcastle, Port Stephens and Dungog in the north (the Hunter), and west to Mount Victoria (Blue Mountains). The function of the plumbing regulator has been delegated by Fair Trading to local councils, county councils, or other qualified bodies. The delegation of the function has been accepted by local and county councils across NSW, with a small number of exceptions where the council declined the delegation. Below are two tables identifying the local authority for plumbing regulator functions, including conducting inspections, throughout NSW by local government area. Please Note: Onsite plumbing and drainage work does not include stormwater, fire suppression; work on network utility assets or roof plumbing. If you are a plumber or drainer in regional

  • Illawarra Councils and Southern Rivers Cma Partnering in Biodiversity Conservation in the Illawarra
    ILLAWARRA COUNCILS AND SOUTHERN RIVERS CMA PARTNERING IN BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION IN THE ILLAWARRA J Lemmon 1, C Presland 2 1Wollongong City Council, Wollongong, NSW 2Southern Rivers CMA, Wollongong, NSW Abstract The Illawarra Councils; Kiama Municipal Council, Shellharbour City Council and Wollongong City Council, have partnered, with support from the NSW Environmental Trust’s Urban Sustainability Program to develop and implement an Illawarra Biodiversity Strategy (the Strategy). Partnerships with Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (CMA) and Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) have enhanced the coordinated approach to developing the Strategy, ensuring it assists in meeting higher order state and regional biodiversity targets. The Catchment Action Plan (CAP) (Southern Rivers CMA, 2006), and Threatened Species Prioritisation (DECCW, 2008) provided guidance for the development of the plan through the setting of regional targets. These targets have been translated into more specific priorities and actions for the partner Councils. By working together the coordination and future management of biodiversity across the Illawarra region has improved. The Strategy describes a method used for prioritising natural areas for investment in bush restoration. To guide conservation priorities across the landscape, it also maps regional biodiversity corridors and prioritises vegetation types using endemism within the region as a key variable. Southern Rivers CMA implements the Strategy through funding restoration work in priority natural areas, and the delivery of the ‘Escarpment to Sea’ project which aims to work directly with landholders within regional corridors to improve land management in high priority areas. The Councils implement the strategy through a range of co- ordinated regional and independent actions in natural area management, land use planning, data collection and community participation.

  • Submission to Council Boundary Review
    ILLAWARRA PILOT JOINT ORGANISATION SUBMISSION TO COUNCIL BOUNDARY REVIEW BACKGROUND The Illawarra Pilot Joint Organisation of Councils (IPJO) represents the Municipality of Kiama, Shellharbour City, Shoalhaven City and Wollongong City Councils. The IPJO’s four member Councils were advised that merger proposals were not required of them by the State Government as they were judged “fit” on scale and capacity, and the IPART Report proposed “no alternatives to standing alone.” The four Councils have contributed substantially to the Office of Local Government Pilot Joint Organisation process, working closely with the Department of Premier and Cabinet, and the other four pilot regions to develop a viable and healthy model of regional co-operation for the future. INTRODUCTION The IPJO’s Vision for the Illawarra/Shoalhaven is: A confident, vibrant and productive region that maximizes its potential and looks after its people and environment. The IPJO will: Lead, advocate and collaborate to maximize the region’s potential and serve the interests of regional communities. Indications are that a JO will be required whether Council mergers take place or not. The Local Government Act will require mandatory membership of Joint Organisations within designated areas based on clear communities of interest, within strategic regional growth planning boundaries.1 However the form, membership and direction of the IPJO may change from the current piloted approach of the IPJO should mergers take place as new entities adjust their priorities. The boundaries of JOs will provide the strategic capacity to engage effectively, reflect strong communities of interest, and not adversely impact others. JO boundaries and membership will not alter without strong justification.
