[member_desc]Georgina has been involved in Georgies Fine Jewellery since the opening of the Eden store back in 1987. She also began her Jewellery Apprenticeship at this time. David became involved in the business in 2001 when Jan Staley (Georgie’s Mum) decided to leave the business. Georgina and David then took over the running of both the Narooma and Eden stores. Since that time they have expanded to include 5 jewellery stores on the far South Coast of NSW. There is now a Georgies Fine Jewellery store in Batemans Bay, Narooma, Bega, Merimbula and Eden, plus our separate dedicated workshop located in Narooma.

Georgies Fine Jewellery has always had a strong jewellery repair and custom made jewellery pedigree and we take great pride in the work we produce and carry out on a daily basis. We have now combined this with our Diamond and Gemstone buying from around the world to give every one of our customers the ability to obtain an item of jewellery specific to their needs.

Whilst we have brilliant Store Managers and staff in each town, Georgina and David still work in each of the stores on a regular basis. This gives our customers access to the owners who care for their business, where in many of the large chain stores you never meet the owner. They are accessible to all our customers and happy to meet with them.

They love life on the Far South Coast of NSW and live in Narooma with their two dogs, and fish. Georgina and David believe in giving back to the community by actively sponsoring local events such as Bega Show Girl, Eden show Jumping Cup and Bega Ladies Golf, as well as school events, charities and for their love of animals the Animal Welfare League.

[member_desc]Eurobodalla Shire is located on the south coast of New South Wales, 280 kilometres south of the Sydney and 150 kilometres south-east of Canberra.

Our 110 kilometres of coastline includes the Batemans Marine Park and 3,400 square kilometres of land. More than 80 percent of the land is either national park or state forest.

Eurobodalla Shire Council’s boundaries stretch from South Durras in the north to Wagonga inlet in the south and Nerrigundah in the west. Within this area we have three major towns, Batemans Bay, Moruya and Narooma and numerous smaller villages.

[member_desc_sub]Information about our local population[/member_desc_sub][member_desc_list]

• Eurobodalla community profile statistics and forecasts

[/member_desc_list][member_desc_sub]History of local government in Eurobodalla[/member_desc_sub]Since 1844, there have been three councils in the area that is now covered by Eurobodalla Shire Council.
[member_desc_sub]Our first Council[/member_desc_sub]The first council for the region linked the south coast to Braidwood and served as a single police and administrative body but did not collect rates or make any decisions which regulated the lives of local residents.
[member_desc_sub]A Municipal Council for Moruya[/member_desc_sub]In 1889, with 1236 people, Moruya had the population to apply for Municipal status as a semi-urban council. This status was granted in 1890 and included a right to collect rates. In 1905, the boundaries of local government grew under the Shires Act which divided NSW into local government shires.

While the Municipal Council continued to look after Moruya, the new Eurobodalla Shire Council – which was proclaimed by the NSW Government in 1906 – was to be responsible for a much larger area that stretched from Durras Lake in the north to Dignams Creek in the south.
[member_desc_sub]The first Eurobodalla Shire Council[/member_desc_sub]The new Shire was governed by an interim Council of public men. They were responsible for organising the Shire’s first election, including the paper supplies, the ballot boxes and the advertising and for supervising the police who verified the name of all the eligible voters. The election when it was held was a tight one, with one of the areas within the Shire won by a Councillor by a single vote.
The six new Councillors were:
[member_desc_list]

• Henry Anderson, a successful Irish-born (1859) dairy farmer from Bergalia and later Pyree near Nowra
• Samuel William Bate, a Sydney-born (1841), Central Tilba and Tuross River dairy, cattle and sheep farmer who was one of the founders of the ABC cheese factory at Central Tilba and the cheese factory at Corunna
• Edward M. Mort, a Sydney-born (1860) cheese maker who was the well-respected director of the Bodalla Company.
• Alfred Allen Shoebridge was born in Araluen in 1862 and lived around the Nelligen area. He worked as a miner, a store-keeper, a saw miller and a promoter of co-operative cheese making and was also a local agent for a steamship company.
• Henry Joseph Mallon, born in Mullenderree in 1845, was a stock dealer when he was younger and later became a beef farmer at Merricumbene on the Deua River who supplied beef to the Araluen miners and local butchers.
• Thomas Taylor, of Balmain in Sydney, was an engineer and worked as a director of the iron and wood bridge building company, Johnston and Taylor and as a Councillor and five-times Mayor of the Borough of Auburn before he retired to Narooma. He was a financial whizz who brought with him invaluable experience building roads and bridges.

[/member_desc_list]

[member_desc_sub]Council’s first jobs[/member_desc_sub]Moruya was chosen as the seat of the new government because of its central location, commercial importance and because there was a newspaper here.

Council then had to appoint a Councillor to the top role of President and Cr Edward M. Mort was unanimously elected because of his social position and business acumen.

Council’s priorities were engineering new roads and maintaining old roads, managing finances and the health of the community and gradually the Moruya Municipal Council became irrelevant. In 1913, Eurobodalla ratepayers voted to amalgamate it with the Shire. Five days after the Municipal Council met for the last time on 17 November 1913, Eurobodalla Shire Council became the sole local government authority.
[member_desc_sub]Eurobodalla Shire Council today[/member_desc_sub]Eurobodalla had a Shire President up until the new Local Government Act 1993 came into force. In 1993, Councillor Chris Vardon became the last Shire President and the first Mayor.

Prior to 1993, the title Mayor was only used in city and municipal councils, but not in shires which covered most rural and regional areas of New South Wales.

We now have nine councillors, a popularly elected Mayor and Eurobodalla Shire Council services have expanded greatly over the last 100 years.
