About …
The Callala Foreshore Alliance (CFA) is a recently formed collective of more than 60 property owners and residents with diverse backgrounds. We are executives, doctors, lawyers, academics, horticulturalists, architects, urban/landscape designers, artists, retirees and more.
As a not-for-profit Alliance we have one common goal: to protect and nurture the foreshore, dunes, streetscapes and marine environment of this pristine piece of Australian coastline, both now and into the future.
CFA members have been property owners and residents of Callala Beach for over 40 years. They have a strong connection to and broad knowledge of Callala Beach and the Jervis Bay region’s unique natural characteristics.
Of the 80+ privately owned residences along the foreshore of Callala Beach, more than 50% are already represented as foundation members of the CFA.
Over 80% of our members are registered to vote in the area. Our voice is strong and relevant and we are able to harness the necessary resources as required.
Whilst membership is targeted at property owners and residents residing in Callala Beach, the CFA welcomes new members with similar interests from the wider Shoalhaven community.
Mission …
The CFA aims to connect foreshore property owners and residents in Callala Beach, keeping members abreast of planning and regulatory changes that may affect their properties and the surrounding area.
The CFA will provide representation to local, state and federal government on behalf of members on topics of concern.
If necessary, the CFA will engage consultants and/or legal representation to ensure their voice is heard.
Our current areas of concern are:
- Proposed changes to zoning/mapping of the properties along the foreshore
- Proposed changes to direct beach access from properties along the foreshore
- Valuation criteria for beachfront properties, subsequent impact on land tax and rates
- Other threats to the pristine nature of Jervis Bay Marine National Park, including Aquaculture expansion, jet skis, cruise ships.
- Future pedestrian/cycle path network
- Vehicular access to the beach, for drag net fishing, etc
