Callala is loved for bays, beaches, wetlands, estuaries, salt marshes and a friendly village atmosphere - all surrounded by a coastal forest where endangered greater gliders and many other unique Australian animals live.
But plans to clear 40 ha of forest for a 380-lot subdivision will shred the fabric of this community and destroy critical habitats for endangered plants and animals.
Shoalhaven lost 85% of the region's forests, with countless millions of animals incinerated, during the black summer bushfires. The surviving land has future potential far more valuable than real estate for a fortunate few.
We cannot afford to throw Callala's future away through greed or poor planning. We can grow Callala sustainably for all to enjoy the beauty, peace and diversity of life here.
These sliding photo interpretations show the potential impact of sprawl on Callala's forest.
We acknowledge the Jerrinja people, the Traditional Custodians of this land. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging and recognize their ongoing connection to the land, waters, and culture. This land has always been and always will be Aboriginal land.
