94 km²

Far fewer homes are within easy walking distance of daily needs here than in the rest of New South Wales. Batemans Bay is a regional hub where a large First Nations community lives and works. While it serves as a key centre for the area, the layout makes it harder to get around on foot than the state average. It is a place where the natural landscape and a growing population shape a distinct coastal lifestyle.
