[CULWULLA]

ill have to do more searching.theres some big things happening down there.its growing rapidly

 

[Blue_Copper]

thanks cull

I reckon Wollongong has a bright future. It's close enough to Sydney to benefit from Sydney's growth, yet (I reckon) just far enough away to be able to develop a significant skyline. Hasn't happened yet, but I reckon it will.

Not to mention it's location - lovely beaches with a backdrop of the Escarpment (and the freeway tucked well and truly behind the city).

I havent been there in ages. Looks like its time for a visit. thanks Cul.

 

[cammo2004]

Was down there last night. There were quite a few resi's under construction down there. It's good to see Wollongong finally getting some stuff happening.

 

[Q-TIP]

Anyone heard about a major toursit project aimed to boost Wollongong's tourism sector?

 

[CULWULLA]

LOL - You beat me to it

 

[cammo2004]

Man, they're on steroids down there atm! Good to see, though.

They need a 20-25 storey tower down there to give their skyline some height. It's great that they're getting some good growth down there, they just need a taller one or two.

Seachange looks like the kind of thing you'd find in Cronulla.

Hey guys what is Wollongong's current populate? and do we have a rep for Wollongong?

 

[CULWULLA]

ive put 220,000 on gongs Emporis page.

 

[ncik]

Would Shellhabour and Kiama be included as Wollongong's metro?

If so then the metro pop. = 270,600 (2003 estimate)
[from Emporis too ]

 

[mrgazpacho]

Nah, I'd say Shellharbour is outside the City Limits. Kiama is definitely way out there

I'm not on the inside, but maybe I can wander around and take some piccies of the sites on the weekend for youse all.
