Only 55 kilometres from the coast, the western border of the Shire is at the top of Brown Mountain on the Great Dividing Range.

    More than two-thirds of Bega Valley Shire is covered by native forest—33% is State Forest and 32% is National Park. Bega Valley Shire Council is responsible for management of the remaining 27% of the Shire. More >>

  • Guide to the management of roadside sites with significant native vegetation - Bega Valley Shire Council 2004
    Vegetation of conservation significance occurs on many of Bega Valley Shire’s roadsides. Roadside sites containing significant vegetation have been identified with red and green markers at each end.

    The marker plate with red at the top shows the start of the site and the marker with the green at the top shows the end of the site. Start and finish points of each site are identified in this guide according to the rural address numbering convention.

    This guide provides a description of each site, assists with identifying the many significant sites that have not been marked, and recommends actions that help protect the conservation values of roadside vegetation.    More >>
