 Eurobodalla Shire is a Local Government Area in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located in a largely mountainous coastal region on the South Coast of New South Wales. It is on the Pacific Ocean, the Princes Highway and the Kings Highway. The shire chambers are located in the town of Moruya in the central part of the Shire. Other major towns within the shire include Batemans Bay and Narooma. Smaller towns and hamlets include Durras, Nelligen, Mogo, Malua Bay, Broulee, Mossy Point, Rosedale, Bodalla, Potato Point, Nerrigundah, Mystery Bay, Central Tilba, and Wallaga Lake Koori Village. The Eurobodalla Shire Council was formed in 1913 with the responsibility for administering local government functions along 110 kilometres of the NSW coast between Durras and Wallaga Lake. The Council administers only about 30% of the area of the Shire as the remaining 70% is non-rateable crown land held as national park and state forest: 40% of the shire is national park, 30% is state forest, 20% is productive farmland and 10% is urban settlement.[3] The Shire is unusual in that nearly half of ratepayers are non-residents. Just over 17% of ratepayers are residents of Canberra. Although the permanent population is around 34,100, the visiting population (who stay more than 3 nights) is 3.1 million per year.[3] The main growth industries in the area are Construction, Government Services, Real Estate, Retail, Retirement, Aged Care, Tourism, while dairy farming, forestry, sawmilling and commercial fishing are traditional industries in decline. Eurobodalla Shire is serviced by two highways - the Princes Highway between Sydney and Melbourne (part of the renowned Highway One around Australia), and the Kings Highway (National Route 52) linking Batemans Bay to Canberra, the national capital. Moruya Airport, just east of the township of Moruya, is serviced by regular scheduled commuter flights to Sydney and Melbourne. There are no railways or major seaports in Eurobodalla Shire. The Eurobodalla Shire was originally the home of the South Coast Bugelli-Manji and Yuin Aboriginal peoples. The Council signed a Commitment to Indigenous Australians and a Local Agreement with the Aboriginal Community. [4]
