Wollongong City Council

Wollongong is on Dharawal Country between the Illawarra escarpment and the sea, and is one of New South Wales’ largest cities. Our unique environment includes lush rainforests, pristine beaches and a vibrant city, all just 80km south of Sydney.

Our city’s welcoming, diverse community makes Wollongong a great place to live, work and visit. Wollongong is home to a world-class university, innovative start-up scene, and offers all the benefits of city living, but with the warmth of a smaller town.
