Bawley Point Kioloa Termeil Community Association

Online Survey " Have Your Say" opens 20th February and closes 10 March 2025.
2025-02-20 10:00 - 2025-03-10 21:00 (Australia/Sydney)
The Community Association (BPKTCA) has established a representative team,
working with an independent facilitator to develop a 10-year Community Strategic
Plan for our villages in consultation with our community.
Our objective is for the plan to encapsulate our community’s values,
character, aspirations and priorities, with the aim of ensuring sustainable
development and the protection of our unique environment.
We would love to see you at one of our two in-person “Have Your Say” days.
Bawley Vale Winery- Sunday 2nd March 2025 or alternatively
Kioloa Community Hall- Friday 7th March 2025, or if you can’t make either days
the Online survey gives you another opportunity to get involved.
The purpose of asking you to Have Your Say is to inform the Community Plan, in
respect to the above objectives. Input will not be attributed and anything you share
online will be anonymous and confidential. All adults & kids who live, holiday or
work in the 3 Villages are invited to Have Your Say.
We want to ensure the output is representative, so we will simply ask your name, in which village
you are located – Bawley Point, Termeil or Kioloa and are you under 18 or over 18?

There is also a QR code; see the flyer below.

International Women's Day Events Shoalhaven March 2025
2025-03-03 00:00 - 2025-03-16 00:00
International Women’s Day (IWD)stemmed from the struggles of working-class women for better pay and conditions, and has been observed since the early 1900s.
By then, the English Suffragists had already adopted Green, White, and Violet – Give Women the Vote -as the colours for their flag.
The banner of IWD helped launch new campaigns for suffrage and equal rights. In Australia, women were given the right to vote in 1902.
However, it was only in 1962 that First Nations people were offered the option to vote, becoming compulsory in 1984.
See below for a list of events in March 2025 within the Shoalhaven.

15/03 closes Public Comment-Shoalhaven Community Participation Plan on Planning and Development Matters (CPP)
2025-03-15 08:00 - 17:00
Click here for a copy of the draft Community Participation Plan….
Click here for a link to the GET INVOLVED PAGE and fill in SURVEY
Shoalhaven’s draft Community Participation Plan for Planning and Development Matters (CPP) is on public exhibition until Friday 14 March 2025. During this time, the draft CPP will be available for viewing on Council’s website, as well as on Council’s Get Involved page.
The draft CPP will also be available for viewing electronically and in hardcopy at the Nowra City Administration Centre (36 Bridge Road, Nowra) and the Ulladulla Branch Office (14 Deering Street, Ulladulla). The Customer Experience team is available to assist with
accessing these documents at the front counter.
The draft CPP outlines how Council will engage with the community on matters relating
specifically to planning and development within Shoalhaven. It sets out community
participation opportunities and explains how and when communities will be involved when
Council exercises its land use planning and development approval functions.
The NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment (EP&A) Act 1979 requires the periodic
review and update of these plans to ensure they remain contemporary. The update of the
CPP ensures it remains consistent with contemporary legislative requirements and provides opportunity to respond to feedback and issues identified since Council’s current CPP was adopted 2019.
The draft CPP will also simplify Council’s related policy framework by incorporating the
relevant requirements from Council’s Community Consultation Policy for Development
Applications (including Subdivision). This policy is intended to be rescinded on
finalisation of the CPP.
On finalisation, the CPP will also be included within Council’s broader Community
Engagement Strategy 2025-2029.
The draft CPP is being exhibited in accordance with the requirements under the EP&A Act
1979. Submissions must be received in writing before 5 pm on Friday 14 March 2025 via
either:

Post: The Chief Executive Officer, Shoalhaven City Council, PO Box 42, Nowra, NSW, 2541.
Email: council@shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au
Website: via the link on Council’s Documents on Exhibition page.
Survey: via Council’s Get Involved page.

Please quote Council’s reference 60605E in submissions.
Pre-printed form letters, which have been individually signed, will be considered but not
formally acknowledged. Submissions may become public documents and may be viewed
by other persons on request. All persons who lodge a submission are required to declare
any relevant political donations and/or gifts in accordance with Section 10.4(5) of the EP&A Act 1979.
If you need further information about this matter, please contact the Strategic Planning
Project Team on (02) 4429 5884. Please quote Council’s reference 60605E (D25/52944).
