The Bega Valley Shire is located at the south-eastern corner of New South Wales, half-way between Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne and three hours' drive from the nation's capital, Canberra. Our coastal fringe extends from Wallaga Lake in the north to Cape Howe and the Victorian border in the south. At over 6,200 km2, the shire is the largest local government area in coastal NSW and collectively this 225-kilometre section forms the beautiful Sapphire Coast, the heart of Australia's Coastal Wilderness.
The Yuin people are the traditional custodians of the shire. The shire's population of around 36,000 is dispersed, with a third of us living in rural areas and the remaining two thirds spread amongst 12 villages, four major towns and adjacent urban settlements.
