The new $3 million dollar Helensburgh Police Station in the Illawarra region has been officially opened on Monday 18 November 2024, bolstering the capabilities of NSW Police in the northern end of the Wollongong Police District.
NSW Premier Chris Minns and Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism, Yasmin Catley joined NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb APM, Deputy Commissioner of Regional NSW Field Operations Paul Pisanos APM, Southern Region Assistant Commissioner Joe Cassar APM and Wollongong Commander Superintendent Karen Cook APM to officially unveil the new modular station.
In June 2024, the old police station was demolished on Waratah Street, Helensburgh to make way for the new modular facility, which was built off site.
