Sutherland Shire

Sutherland Shire Council manages a 370-square-kilometer territory that extends from Cronulla Beach to the Royal National Park, serving over 218,000 residents.

Lieutenant James Cook first landed in this region at Kurnell on April 29, 1770, before the area was considered for the initial British settlement.

The region maintains strong connections to its Aboriginal heritage through preservation of Dharawal artifacts and rock engravings dating back 8,500 years.

The council headquarters in Sutherland on Eton Street coordinates municipal services, infrastructure development, and community programs across multiple suburbs.

The Lucas Heights facility within the shire houses ANSTO, Australia's primary nuclear science and research center, contributing to medical and scientific advancements.
