Images of Stanwell Park have been beamed across the world in many a commercial or Instagram post. It's renowned on the internation stage for hang-gliding and paragliding off Bald Hill, and for the views over the Sea Cliff Bridge.
Stanwell Park is home to passionate community that values its beaches, escarpment and sense of connection to people and place. The village's laid-back lifestyle is important to those who call it home and is similarly sought after by visitors. It's all these factors that ensure this is a great opportunity to make a mark on the local community as well as Wollongong's prospering tourist market.
