South Coast Conservation Society (S.C.C.S.) collection guide

CreatorSouth Coast Conservation Society (N.S.W.)Date1969-2004DescriptionThe inaugural meeting of the South Coast Conservation Society (S.C.C.S.) was held on 5th December 1969. The Society's aim was to encourage conservation of the region's natural environment and to protest against excessive development. Major issues addressed included the effects of coal mining on the Illawarra escarpment, transportation problems, coastal development by industry, and preservation of parklands. The records cover proceedings of the Society's monthly meetings, as well as copies of their monthly journal Smoke Signal: Journal of the South Coast Conservation Society. The bulk of the collection comprises pre 1996 correspondence with federal, state, and local government bodies, as well as other conservation groups. Due to declining membership numbers, the South Coast Conservation Society ceased operation in late 2004, after 35 years of service to the local community.
