About Buangla

Buangla is a small rural locality in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales, situated approximately 10 kilometres north-west of Nowra. Covering around 35 square kilometres of gently undulating farmland and bushland, it falls within the Shoalhaven City Council local government area. Census data indicates the area has very few permanent residents, with the land predominantly used for rural residential and agricultural purposes. The locality sits between the Shoalhaven River valley and the Cambewarra Range, offering picturesque views and a quiet semi-rural character.

Buangla's residents enjoy the best of both worlds — a peaceful rural setting within easy reach of Nowra's full suite of services, schools, and shopping. The South Coast's famous beaches at Jervis Bay and Culburra Beach are accessible within 30–40 minutes by car. The area suits families and rural lifestyle seekers who work in Nowra or telecommute. Surrounding state forests and nature reserves provide bushwalking, mountain biking, and wildlife-spotting opportunities close to home.
