70th anniversary

TOGETHER. FROM DAY DOT.

We’re celebrating 70 years in the Shellharbour Community in May.

For 70 years, the Club and its community have grown side by side. Supporting, shaping and showing up for one another – from day dot.

This is more than a milestone, it’s a celebration of our relationship with our community… It’s about everything we’ve built together and what comes next.

 

COMMITMENTS TO OUR COMMUNITY

We’re giving back to the community that has supported us from day dot. 

Throughout May, we’re strengthening our connection by making three key Commitments to our Community.

COMMITMENT # 1

$70K reinvested back into our Community

We’re supporting local community groups this May with over $70,000 worth of funding being granted via the ClubGRANTS Scheme. Watch this space for funding announcements!

COMMITMENT # 2

70 x employee volunteering hours

We’re doing good this May by volunteering our time to local organisations. Our team will be giving back to the community by volunteering at a range of local not-for-profit organisations including Illawarra Multicultural Communities, Lifeline South Coast, Wollongong Homeless Hub and helping out at the Shellharbour Sharks Women’s in League Round. Keep an eye out for our team while they’re out there doing good!

COMMITMENT # 3

70 x trees planted in our Community

We’re committed to growing our future in May by planting over 70 x trees on Shellharbour Council Land. Our Directors will be rolling up their sleeves to help plant seedlings where our land needs it most.

community mural

Created in real time. Finished by the community.

e’ve engaged an artist to draw a custom mural of the Shellharbour Community. The mural will be live drawn on Friday 1st May and will capture the spirit of Shellharbour — its people, places and shared history.

The mural will be on display in reception throughout the month of May and students from Shellharbour Public School will help us add colour to the mural before it finds a permanent home on Club walls.

KIDS COMPETITION

Creative community.

To celebrate our birthday, we’re running a colouring-in and drawing competition for the kids. Simply pick up a colouring sheet in-venue, let the little ones get creative and return the submission by Sunday 31st May for a chance to win a $50 Precinct voucher– imagine the Bon Bon delights you could enjoy with that!

Winner will be contacted via phone on 1 June 2026. T+C’s apply.
