Events/Other
- Low Rise Housing diversity code came into effect on 1 July 2020. It allows multi-dwellings, dual occupancy, manor houses (blocks of 4 dwellings) – where they are already allowed – to be complying developments. That is, they just need to be certified by an independent assessor and do not need to be considered by council planning staff.

- In a year of significant trauma for the Shoalhaven region, a new local not-for-profit group is offering young aspiring filmmakers the chance to tell their stories on screen. The free My Home Film Project aims to deliver a creative platform for self-expression, a voice and invaluable industry experience guided by mentors. The project launched by the Culburra Beach organisation, Southland Creative, is calling for residents aged 17-24, with a story to tell, to register their interest online.
The project is free to ten selected young applicants.
For more information, including how to register, visit the Southland Creative website.

- The Vincentia Ratepayers & Residents Association has received a request from Council to provide “unequivocal support” for the construction of a fly-over at the Jervis Bay / Highway intersection.

https://vrra.wufoo.com/forms/phghqiv0n1ck3h/
Even if you have signed the petition please vote through this link if you support the flyover. - Shoalhaven Transport Forum will take part in the Education Skills and Employment initiative convened by Andrew Wales, to foster transport to support employment opportunities. The objective of the forum is to improve employment opportunities in the Shoalhaven. Transport is the major obstacle to youth unemployment and therefore transport is of top consideration in accessing funding through this forum. They have nominated the Voice to take part in this forum. As more information becomes available we will pass it on.
- Please find attached a report on the barriers to employment by the Regional Development Authority which was commissioned by Andrew Wales in his role as Employment Facilitator for the Far South Coast.
