What’s on at The Waterfront, Shell Cove
Our dedicated Community Development team at The Waterfront, Shell Cove help in creating an enriching and engaging place to live by facilitating events and communities each month. These regular events offer residents a space to connect with one another and the opportunity to meet new people in the community.
PromenART
Where: Shell Cove Marina Foreshore,
The Waterfront, Shell Cove
Date: 12 Sept - 31 Oct 2025
Australia’s most scenic sculpture walk is back.
Wander the waterfront and experience PromenART with the popular outdoor exhibition transforming the Shell Cove Marina into an immersive celebration of art, nature, and community once again.
From Friday 12 September, the marina foreshore will come alive with striking contemporary sculptures, including celebrated works from acclaimed Australian artists. Set against the sparkling backdrop of The Waterfront, Shell Cove each piece invites you to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with art and with the world around you.
Free and family-friendly, the walk is open daily and features a rotating schedule of live music and art demonstrations on weekends. This is a rare chance to experience gallery-quality works in the outdoors.
Build Your Digital Skills Workshops
Save the Date: This October, we're partnering again with the team at Shellharbour Libraries to bring a digital skills workshop series to Shell Cove (more details soon).
In the meantime, don't miss out on a great selection of workshops on offer at the Shellharbour City Library to help build your digital skills toolbox!
Loneliness Awareness Week
This week is Loneliness Awareness Week, with the theme ‘moments that matter’ — a reminder that small everyday interactions, like a wave, a quick chat, or a shared walk, can build real community connection.
As Community Development Manager at Shell Cove, I’m proud to support these connections through our events and activities. Why not join in or invite a friend or neighbour along? Every moment counts in creating a stronger, more connected community.
