Perry Tsand, Nowra resident

Stockland Nowra stayed open to assist travellers and local Shoalhaven customers who were trapped because of road closures. On New Year’s Eve over 40 people sought refuge there from the fires, including local resident Perry Tsang and his family.

“Penelope and her team of security guards kept the doors open for us, lifted and shifted centre couches around, and even came around with supplies of water/fruit/snacks. We are truly thankful for the goodness in humanity during the crisis.”
