Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour, in Australia, is a coastal city located on the north coast of New South Wales about 540 km (340 mi) north of Sydney, and 390 km (240 mi) south of Brisbane. Its population was 45,580 in 2011 with the greater region having a population of 70,990 in 2012.[3]
Coffs Harbour won an international Bloom award for population 20,001 - 75,000 in 2002.[4] In addition an Enhancement of the Landscape in 2004 from the same organisation.[5] Coffs Harbour's economy was once based mainly on bananas, now being superseded by blueberries as well as tourism and fishing. The wider region is known as the Bananacoast. [6]
The city has a campus of Southern Cross University, a public[7] and a private hospital, several radio stations, and three major shopping centres. Coffs Harbour is near numerous national parks, including a marine national park. There are regular passenger flights each day to Sydney and Melbourne departing from Coffs Harbour Airport.[8] Coffs Harbour is also accessible by road, by NSW TrainLink trains, and by regular bus services.[9]
Attractions[edit]

Coffs Harbour was the hub for a thriving banana industry. One of the biggest attractions is the Big Banana, one of the first of Australia's Big Things (it celebrated its 40th birthday in 2005), with the World's Largest Banana celebrating the region's best known export. There is also a popular underwater diving spot on a small natural reef.[vague]
The Coffs Harbour Jetty is an historically important timber wharf where coastal shipping once moved the timber from the hinterland. The jetty area is the subject of current planning[when?] by Council and consultants to develop a cultural precinct and rejuvenated residential area.
Nearby, the Solitary Islands Marine Park preserves a diverse underwater ecosystem that mirrors the terrestrial biodiversity, covering the southern limit of northern tropical species and the northern limits of the southern temperate species. Muttonbird Island is accessible by walking along the breakwater from the harbour, with the nature reserve protecting a significant wedge-tailed shearwater breeding site. The Muttonbird Island footpath leads to a viewing platform where whales are often spotted between June and November.
There are many national parks, reserves and marine parks surrounding the city, including:
Bellinger River National Park (west of Bellingen in the Bellinger headwaters)
Bindarri National Park (20 km west of the city, near Ulong and Dairyville)
Bongil Bongil National Park (south of Sawtell)
Cascade National Park (north of Dorrigo)
Coffs Coast Regional Park (beachside reserves and parks along the Coffs Coast)
Dorrigo National Park (just south of the Dorrigo township)
Hayden Dent Nature Reserve (northwest of Coffs Harbour)
Junuy Juluum National Park (north of Dorrigo)
Moonee Beach Nature Reserve (Moonee Beach-Emerald Beach)
Nymboi-Binderay National Park (north of Dorrigo, east of Glenreigh, on the Nymboida River)

The town's water supply comes from the nearby Orara River at Cochranes Pool and is supplemented by the Nymboida River. The city hosts the Coffs Harbour Regional Botanic Garden.

ETC Community Support Fund Recipient - North Coast Botanic Gardens
Japanese Garden to be Regional Drawcard
The Japanese section of the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden is going to be a real showpiece thanks to community support from ETC, Rotary, TAFE, Coffs Harbour City Council and the Friends of the Gardens.
Gardens Curator Ian Corbett said they were in the midst of creating a unique regional asset.
Our Japanese Garden has been five years in the making. The Japanese say it takes 100 years to building a garden so I figure we've still got a way to go, Mr Corbett said.
ETC has recently donated $10,000 for the purchase of decorative rock, garden edging and paving materials.
Rocks are the most important feature in a Japanese garden because that's where the spirits reside, Mr Corbett said.
We've sourced the rock from Manilla, near Tamworth, to give us the look we were after.
Mr Corbett said the $575,000 project to enhance the Japanese garden relied heavily on community involvement.
Our funding is very thin so we rely on our community partners like ETC as well as Rotary who are funding the construction of a pergola and TAFE who will be constructing the contemplation room, Mr Corbett said.
The important thing is that the community is building it with us.
We have made a long term commitment to supporting employment schemes which has resulted in many currently unemployed people gaining confidence and experience working in the gardens that has helped them to re-enter the workforce.
Our working bees are also well supported by people with a range of disabilities, who with their carers, carry out general garden duties. This boosts self-esteem, self-confidence and helps remove the stigma of mental and physical disability.
Mr Corbett said once the latest stage of the Japanese garden had been completed the focus would be on attracting visitors through education programmes, weddings and other events.
Currently the Botanic Garden has annual visitation of around 60,000 people. Of this 38% are from outside the area, or interstate visitors, making us a significant tourist attraction for the Coffs Coast, Mr Corbett said.
We've already had strong interest from bridal parties to hold weddings in the Japanese garden and we expect it will be widely used by all regional schools for LOTE (Language other than English), Geography and Botanic Studies.
ETC Director Graeme Singleton said ETC was pleased to be able to support the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden through the ETC Community Support Fund.
ETC is setting aside $200,000 per annum through the ETC Community Support Fund. The fund is designed to help organisations improve the social and economic development of local communities, Mr Singleton said.
