City of Shellharbour is a Local Government Area located in the Illawarra region, on the east coast of Australia, about 100 km south of Sydney. It covers southern suburbs of the Wollongong urban area centred around Shellharbour, and has an estimated population of 66,905[1].

The area is bordered by the City of Wollongong to the north, with the boundary being the Lake Illawarra entrance (and the suburb of Lake Illawarra) and Macquarie Rivulet (Albion Park Rail). To the south lies the Municipality of Kiama.

History

Indigenous occupation of the area, particularly of Bass Point, can be traced back to 17,000 BP. The area was discovered by Bass and Flinders in 1796. Free settlers began arriving between 1817 and 1831 and the township was founded in 1851.

The Shellharbour (Municipal) Council was constituted on 4 June 1859, and was gazetted as a City in 1996. In May 2009, Shellharbour City Council celebrated its 150th birthday.
