2508 District News

Read the last edition of 2021 by clicking the image below or browse our archives here.

First published in February 2014, 2508 District News was a local publication with a long history. It began as a volunteer-run paper almost four decades ago and, while it had several names over the years, the mag was always driven by the same community spirit and commitment to local business. It was free, published on the 1st of each month and letterboxed to homes and businesses in Helensburgh, Darkes Forest, Otford, Stanwell Tops, Stanwell Park, Coalcliff and Waterfall. 

In January 2022, due to Covid pressures and the paper price crisis, 2508 merged with 2515 Coast News, its sister mag for the Thirroul postcode.

Together, the magazines will continue the region's strong tradition of community news as the Illawarra Flame. 

Our motto remains "everyone has a story" and we invite you to share yours.
