Honouring History, Shaping Tomorrow
The North Arm Cove Initiative champions sustainable development and heritage conservation inspired by visionary designs once planned for our unique village. Nestled on Port Stephens' northern shore, our work honours the legacy of Walter Burley Griffin and the cultural heritage of the Worimi people, the land's traditional custodians.
Through community-driven projects, we aim to protect the natural landscape, recognise historical significance, and foster a connected, sustainable future that respects both environment and heritage in North Arm Cove.
