Kiama

Kiama is a local government area in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, situated south of Wollongong along the Pacific coastline. The municipality encompasses farmland, small communities, and coastal areas that form a single administrative jurisdiction managing local services and planning.

European settlement began in the early 19th century, with the area initially developed for agriculture and farming. The municipal administration took shape over time to coordinate local services and infrastructure across the region.

Regular precinct meetings and community forums engage over 21,500 residents in municipal decisions, fostering participation in local governance and development planning.

Visitors can find information about local services and community events through the council website or by attending public meetings. The area is best explored by driving, as attractions and services are spread across different neighborhoods and small towns.

The council acquired a commercial property near the Works Depot for 6.3 million dollars, demonstrating investment in municipal infrastructure expansion.
