Have your say: Community Strategic Plan
Published on 29 November 2024
Kiama Council is revising and updating its Community Strategic Plan for 2025-2035 and wants your help.
The Community Strategic Plan (CSP) outlines our community’s vision, aspirations, and priorities for the future. It also includes strategies for how we will work together to achieve them.
While Council’s main focus for the next four years is our financial, structural and operational reforms as directed by the Performance Improvement Order (PIO), a revised CSP will help guide this work, as well as plan beyond these priorities.
The first step is sharing your insights, dreams and feedback to help us shape our community's vision and goals for the next 10 years.
You can do this in a number of ways.
Future direction survey
An online survey so we can learn a little about you, your thoughts about our economic, environmental and social priorities as well as our civic leadership.
Contribute to our ideas board
Post your thoughts and ideas online, no matter how short or long, including photos and video links for discussion. You can also comment or simply ‘like’ posts by other people.
Share your funding priorities
Choose your council funding priorities using your allocated points budget, including:
- Youth and disability services
- Parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities
- Planning and development
- Waste management
- Tourism and events
- Arts and culture
- Economic development
- Environmental management

Next steps
After we wrap up our community consultation at the end of January, we’ll prepare a draft Community Strategic Plan for public exhibition in April 2025.
Community members will get a chance to comment on the draft CSP before the document is finalised.
A final CSP will be presented to Council for adoption by the end of June 2025.
