Keiraville Branch of the Country Women’s Association Wollongong

🌿 Community Planting Day – Bellambi

We’re excited to be partnering with Wollongong City Council for a relaxed community planting morning as part of our branch’s environmental focus on the Glossy Black Cockatoo and its habitat.

Bellambi is a place of rich natural beauty and layered history—something of a “diamond in the rough” that invites exploration. Alongside the planting, visitors may enjoy a walk along the beach, take in the historic jetty, and reflect on the stories of shipwrecks along the reef. The area also features the lagoon, rock pools, surf club, cycleways, pay public transport and sites of Aboriginal cultural significance, offering a lovely opportunity to connect with the landscape in a relaxed and meaningful way.

Thursday 16th April

• ⏰ 10:00am – 12:00pm
• 📍 200m north of Bellambi Surf Life Saving Club

(Closest parking and toilets at the Surf Club)

Council staff will bring the plants and equipment, and the holes will already be prepared to make planting easy.

This is a relaxed activity—you’re welcome to plant a few trees, or simply come along for a walk, chat, and enjoy the morning.  All welcome the event runs through the school holidays. (Family friendly).

What to bring:

• • Water
• • Hat and sunscreen
• • Long sleeves and long pants
• • Sturdy enclosed shoes
• • Gloves if you have them (Council will also have some)

For those who prefer a slower morning, Olives Café at Bellambi is open from 8am–2pm, and you’re very welcome to enjoy a coffee or breakfast nearby while the planting takes place.

Please RSVP by 31 March so we can confirm numbers with Council at [email protected]

1. We’d also love people to bring along any stories, photographs, or memories of Bellambi to share on the day.
