SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS TOURIST AND TRAVEL ASSOCIATION

INDEX OF MEMBERS 

The Southern Highlands Tourist and Travel Association was established in 1963 by the three local councils in the area, Mittagong and Wingecarribee Shires and Bowral Municipal Council, to promote tourism in the area. A Committee was formed to operate the organisation made up of two Council delegates and six industry representatives. They offered a full range of services to visiting tourists, as well as an agency to arrange Australian and overseas travel for local people. It was funded jointly by the councils involved, NSW Government grants and memberships paid by local businesses and individuals.

In 1969, a purpose-built Visitor Information Centre was opened in Winifred West Park, Mittagong, a distinctive design in the shape of an autumn leaf, with floor to ceiling windows, largely funded by the operations of the association. The builders were Cornwell and Eccleston.

This index lists the members who supported the SHTTA up to its demise in 1988, when its operation passed to Wingecarribee Shire Council. It provides a valuable record of people and businesses in the area, many of which no longer exist.
