Caring for Our Local Environment
Protecting the place, we call home
Located directly beside North Wollongong Beach, our local environment is more than just part of our view, it is part of what makes staying with us special.
We want to protect it so that our guests, our community and future generations can continue to enjoy it.
The Illawarra coastal plain has experienced significant historical clearing, leaving isolated areas of native vegetation that remain vulnerable to ongoing environmental pressures. This makes protecting and restoring our local environment particularly important.
Our approach includes considering the environmental impact of our operations, supporting responsible landscaping practices and looking for opportunities to contribute positively to our local surroundings.
THE EMMA MCKEON PROMENADE & COASTAL PROTECTION
Wondering what’s happening along the beach?
If you've visited North Wollongong Beach recently, you may have noticed construction taking place along the Emma McKeon Promenade.
The works you can see are Stage 2 of Wollongong City Council’s coastal protection project, designed to help protect the foreshore and surrounding open spaces from storms, wave action and coastal erosion.
For a beachfront destination like North Wollongong, protecting our coastline is an important step towards ensuring it can continue to be enjoyed for years to come.
The project is currently scheduled for completion in mid-2027. North Wollongong Beach remains open throughout the works, with year-round patrols by Council lifeguards and volunteer lifesavers.
