About Us

DSSS is one of seven Destination Networks (DNs) in regional NSW. Its principle role is to represent and coordinate the growth and development of the Sydney Surrounds South visitor economy. The Sydney Surrounds South region comprises the five local government areas: Kiama, Shellharbour, Shoalhaven, Wollongong and Wingecarribee (the Southern Highlands). Each has their respective vision for the future, and projects and priorities, which are relevant to the sustainable growth of the region.

A great day trip or overnight holiday, known for its beautiful coast and highlands, dynamic attractions, events and rich food and wine culture.
