Vale Peter Stuckey

Published on 04 July 2024

Kiama Council has paid tribute to the late Peter Stuckey, former Manager of Parks and Gardens at Kiama Council.

Peter was a well-loved member of staff and our community, best remembered for helping to deliver the Kiama Coast Walk between Loves Bay and Werri Beach. 

Peter was also actively involved in other significant environmental initiatives for our region, contributing to the Illawarra Biodiversity Strategy and the Lake Illawarra Authority.

At Council, Peter was instrumental in leading a team that established Kiama’s reputation for having some of the best parks and gardens in the Illawarra.

Following his retirement in 2010, Peter continued to be an active community member, especially when it came to our public open spaces.

He most recently campaigned for the extension of the Coast Walk to Gerroa, which is now in its early stages.

Peter’s funeral is being held at St Matthews Catholic Church in Jamberoo, at 11am Monday 8 July.
