Community Consultative Body (CCB)
Huskisson Woollamia Community Voice envisages a future that recognises and maintains the built, natural and cultural values of our local area. We accept and want future growth and planning to co-exist with the existing size and feel of the built environment to maintain our magnificent views, our historical tree-scapes, and both our European and Indigenous history and heritage. We aim for collaboration between the council and the community for a harmonious future.
The Huskisson Woollamia Community Voice (HWCV) is the Community Consultative Body (CCB) representing the views of the Huskisson and Woollamia villages to the local government authority, Shoalhaven City Council. The main administrative centre for Council is in Nowra on the south coast of NSW, Australia. The HWCV is an incorporated association under NSW Office of Fair Trading Model Rules.
The goal of the HWCV is to provide the Huskisson and Woollamia community with a forum for influencing the future of Huskisson, Woollamia and the Jervis Bay area generally.
The HWCV is open to all ratepayers and residents of Huskisson and Woollamia, who are members automatically. We do not require membership fees. All visitors from outside our CCB are welcome, but naturally enough, visitors don’t have voting rights.
