Wollongong City Council are creating a 20-year Beach Services and Surf Sports Strategy to make sure our beaches and surf sports facilities keep up with the needs of our growing community. Wollongong has 60 kilometres of coastline and 34 beach locations, and this plan will guide how we manage safety, facilities, and activities while balancing costs and community expectations. Beaches are a big part of life here, so we need a clear plan to keep them safe, welcoming, and sustainable for everyone.

The council would like to hear from you about how you use our beaches and surf sports facilities, what improvements you’d like to see, and what should be a priority for the future.
