Future Developments

Bomaderry creek is not a very well-known area and people don’t understand its true value as a Shoalhaven community asset. Many future developments for the Bomaderry creek have been discussed such as further positive community knowledge about the park and more support for land and bush care groups from the council. Currently old gravel winning sites have been left to regenerate but are being destroyed by constant motorbike disturbances.
Possible future solutions to this current problem include giving youth an area nearby for trail riding or fire trails within the park to isolate the damage. Bomaderry creek land care groups discuss issues such as this and the old North Nowra tip off Falcon Crescent which has been capped but doesn’t help the environment and is not aesthetically pleasing. The group has discussed possible future development for this site such as sports areas, camping grounds, or a possible solar panel farm.

These are still in brain storming stages and benefits and disadvantages of each are being discussed, but the main prospect from the group for building something here for the community is so that the community can help appreciate the natural asset in their community and help them preserve its beauty.
Another way Bomaderry Creek Bush care groups wish to spread the awareness of the park is by making a field guide with all the information of the park, as well as its history information on endangered species of flora and fauna. The book is planning to be based on the Field Guide to the Bushland of the Lane Cove Valley by John Martyn ©2010 Step Inc. which is an incredibly informative and interesting way to help people understand and know more about their local area.
