LAC Overview
Command Overview: Port Stephens Local Area Command
History:
Port Stephens Local Area Command commenced on 13 July, 2008, after the split of the former Lower Hunter Local Area Command into the Port Stephens and Central Hunter Commands. This development has provided the opportunity to deliver a more targeted policing approach to the area incorporating strategies specifically designed to meet local issues. HR management is likewise now local. The Worimi People were the original aboriginal inhabitants of the area. Local industries include oyster farming (2,000 ton p.a), commercial fishing (50 boats), rural produce and tourism.
Geography:
The command comprises an area of 3694 square kilometres. It extends from coastal areas such as Nelson Bay and other towns situated on the Port Stephens estuary (166 sq km) through to urban centres such as Raymond Terrace and rural areas such as Dungog, Clarencetown and Stroud. The Pacific Highway is a major national highway that traverses the command north.
Population:
The command has a total population of 77,482 persons (tourist increases in summer).
