Community Engagement Committee

Late last year, six local Port Stephens residents were appointed to provide a community voice to the NSW Government Steering Committee throughout the development of the master plan for the site. The Community Engagement Committee will focus on strengthening community involvement and will help ensure local voices are represented in the ongoing future planning for the site.

The Steering Committee includes representatives from the Department of Communities and Justice, National Parks and Wildlife Services, Create NSW, Department of Planning, Housing & Infrastructure and NSW Fisheries, along with Port Stephens Council.

Please contact tomareecommunityengagementcommittee@dcj.nsw.gov.au if you have any questions.

Community reflections

The Department of Communities and Justice invites community members to share their reflections on Tomaree Lodge’s rich history and community significance. Whether you have treasured memories, historical insights, or photos capturing moments from the past or present, we’d love to hear from you!

Your contributions may be featured in upcoming newsletters, helping preserve and celebrate Tomaree’s legacy for future generations. Please send all reflections to tomareelodge@dcj.nsw.gov.au.
