We are inspired by the Yuin word for Black Cockatoo, symbolizing change and enlightenment. Our community embodies a rich tapestry of emerging arts, culture, and proud First Nations businesses. Nowra is a place where you can come to be yourself. We are real people who want to make Nowra better for the people of Nowra, who through their authenticity create a refreshing charm. Nowra is more than what it once was. It’s a vibrant hub of innovation and collaboration, where dreams are nurtured and possibilities are endless. Join us in shaping a future where diversity, creativity, and passion define who we are.
A lot of things have been said about Nowra. But something real is happening here, something good. There is a quiet optimism building and a sense of belief returning. You can feel that this might just be the next happening place. Community, sustainability, authenticity. These are not buzzwords here, they are how people are choosing to show up. There are opportunities everywhere to create your own story and weave it into Nowra’s story.
Team Nowra is helping push that momentum forward. From activating empty shopfronts and supporting local creatives, to building partnerships with First Nations businesses, improving public spaces, and backing community-led events, the focus is simple: make Nowra a better place to live, work, and belong. These are practical, people-powered steps that lift the whole town. Join us as we shape what comes next and build the Nowra we all know it can be.
