About Conjola Park
Conjola Park is a semi-rural locality situated on the South Coast of New South Wales, within the City of Shoalhaven local government area and the 2539 postcode. Geographically, the area is characterised by its prominent position on the northern shores of Lake Conjola, surrounded largely by native bushland and littoral rainforest within the broader Conjola National Park ecosystem. Demographically, it is a small, quiet residential and holiday community with a population largely comprising retirees and families, alongside a significant proportion of holiday homes.
Local life in Conjola Park is centered around water-based recreation, including fishing, boating, kayaking, and swimming in both the lake and nearby coastal beaches. Because of its small residential footprint, commercial amenities within the locality are minimal, relying instead on the adjacent community of Lake Conjola for basic services, while major retail, medical, and educational infrastructure is accessed nearby in Ulladulla. The area is heavily constrained by its natural topography and single-access road network, which shapes both its isolated village character and local emergency management planning.
Historically, the lands surrounding Lake Conjola are the traditional country of the Yuin Nation Aboriginal people, who maintained a deep connection to the rich coastal and lake resources. European settlement in the wider Conjola district began in the 19th century, initially driven by the timber industry, milling, and later dairy farming and commercial fishing, before transitioning toward tourism and residential development in the latter half of the 20th century. The locality gained national attention during the devastating 2019–2020 Black Summer bushfires, which severely impacted the built environment and local ecosystem, leading to subsequent recovery and rebuilding efforts throughout the community.
