Good strategic planning enables councils to work with their communities, NSW government agencies and the private sector to deliver new and diverse housing in more liveable neighbourhoods.
Strategic planning strategies use a place-based planning approach to help provide communities with great areas in which to live. They aim to provide walkable neighbourhoods that support active and healthy lifestyles, as well as create and renew great spaces.
Kiama Council's Growth and Housing Strategy will set out a clear plan to support the delivery of housing in our municipality and our region over the next 20 years. It will also identify if new housing opportunities are required, and if so, where and how these opportunities can be supplied.
The Growth and Housing strategy will promote efficient use of land and infrastructure by aligning housing growth with supporting infrastructure and social services, such as schools, health facilities, water, sewerage and public transport, and plan for future needs.
