Kiama Regional Economic Development Strategy

In 2018, the NSW Government and local councils developed a series of Regional Economic Development Strategies (REDS) for 38 Functional Economic Regions (FERs) across regional NSW.

FERs are made up of one or more Local Government Areas (LGAs) that work together to create smaller economies with strong economic links.

The Kiama Regional Economic Development Strategy developed by the NSW Government details how our LGA can carefully manage growth and support employment opportunities in:

  • tourism
  • agribusiness
  • other emerging industries.

Our plan also looks at how we can capitalise on our region’s unique digital connections and opportunities.
