Belowra is a remote rural location in the Eurobodalla local government area in NSW. Approximately 288 km south of Sydney and covers an area of 378 km2 encompassing a picturesque rural landscape.
It has a recorded population of just nine residents. The area is well-suited for outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, birdwatching, and exploring the scenic countryside.
The project faced multiple challenges due to its remote location within National Parks and Nature Reserves, prone to bushfires and difficult access. Additionally, floods further complicated the situation by washing away the side track, hindering access.
Operating in such protected areas required excellent coordination with stakeholders, including park authorities, conservation organisations, and local communities. We successfully navigated these challenges which required careful planning, adaptability, and a commitment to environmental sustainability.
