The City of Shellharbour is a local government area in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia. The City is located about {{convert|100|km}} south of Sydney and covers the southern suburbs of the Wollongong urban area centred on Shellharbour and it had an estimated population of 68,460 at the {{CensusAU|2016}}.

The area is bordered by the City of Wollongong to the north, with the boundary being the Lake Illawarra entrance (and the suburb of Lake Illawarra) and Macquarie Rivulet (Albion Park Rail). The Municipality of Kiama is to the south of the City of Shellharbour.

The Mayor of the Shellharbour City Council is Cr. Marianne Saliba, a member of the Labor Party.

History

Indigenous occupation of the area, particularly of Bass Point, can be traced back to 17,000 BP.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}}

The area was discovered by Europeans Bass and Flinders in 1796.[4] Free settlers began arriving between 1817 and 1831 and the township was founded in 1851. The Shellharbour (Municipal) Council was constituted on 4 June 1859, and was gazetted as a City in 1996. In May 2009, Shellharbour City Council celebrated its sesquicentenary.[5]

A 2015 review of local government boundaries recommended that the City of Shellharbour merge with the City of Wollongong to form a new council with an area of {{convert|831|km2}} and support a population of approximately {{formatnum:276000}}.[6] On 13 February 2017, the New South Wales Government decided not to forcibly amalgamate Shellharbour Council with Wollongong Council.
