Huskisson Reinvented: HUSKY CO. Unites a Coastal Community for a Vibrant Future

Huskisson

A new chapter is unfolding on the New South Wales South Coast as the seaside town of Huskisson steps confidently into a coordinated future. With the launch of HUSKY CO., this much-loved destination is evolving from a seasonal hotspot into a year-round, community-driven precinct powered by collaboration, creativity and local pride.

A Coastal Gem Finds Its Collective Voice

Located in the heart of Jervis Bay, Huskisson has long been admired for its pristine beaches, crystal clear waters and relaxed coastal lifestyle. Now, with the formation of HUSKY CO., the town is embracing a unified vision designed to strengthen its identity and enhance its appeal for visitors throughout the year.

Supported by funding from the NSW Government’s Uptown Grant Program, delivered by the Office of the 24 Hour Economy Commissioner, this new initiative brings together the people who shape Huskisson every day.

Local Businesses Driving a Shared Vision

HUSKY CO. is a collective of cafés, restaurants, retailers, tourism operators and creatives working together to guide the future of the precinct. It is a grassroots initiative, led by locals who understand the rhythm and character of their town.

The official launch at the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum brought together business owners, community leaders and government representatives, including John Graham, Liza Butler and Shoalhaven councillor Luciano Casmiri.

At its core, HUSKY CO. is about collaboration. By working together, local businesses can amplify their impact, support one another and create a more cohesive experience for visitors.

Celebrating Culture, Community and Creativity

HUSKY CO. champions the people who give Huskisson its unique energy, from chefs and producers to musicians and makers. Through a growing calendar of events, activations and cultural initiatives, the collective aims to keep the town vibrant beyond peak holiday seasons.

This coordinated approach not only enhances the visitor experience but also strengthens community connections, ensuring that Huskisson remains lively, welcoming and authentic all year round.

A Structure Built for Sustainable Growth

The HUSKY CO. Committee is led by President Oscar Wright, alongside Treasurer Robert Bartlett and a team of district directors representing the town’s diverse business landscape.

Working in partnership with government and industry, and supported by District Coordinator Bill Dimas, the collective ensures that local decision making aligns with broader tourism and economic strategies.

Backed by organisations such as Destination Sydney Surrounds South and Shoalhaven City Council, HUSKY CO. represents a model for regional collaboration and sustainable development.

A New Era for Visitors to Huskisson

For travellers, the impact of HUSKY CO. is already beginning to take shape. A new digital presence, including a dedicated website and social channels, makes it easier to discover what is happening in Huskisson, from dining and shopping to events and experiences.

The focus moving forward is on creating a steady rhythm of activity that encourages visitors to stay longer, explore more deeply and return throughout the year.
