Kiama Council is updating our Community Land Plan of Management for Neighbourhood Parks.
Council has over the past few years acquired 36 new parcels of community land that need to be added to the Plan of Management for Neighbourhood Parks.
We're also taking the opportunity to update the Plan of Management to cover all Parks, General Community Use and Natural Areas of community land in our municipality.
Community Land refers to property which Council retains for use by the general public and requires a plan of management identifying how it will be managed and used.
The updated Plan further breaks down community land as Natural Area, General Community Use as well as Park. This change is to provide clearer information for our community.
Park land is mainly for (non-sporting) recreational, social, educational and cultural pursuits.
Natural Area land includes bushlands, wetlands, escarpments, watercourses and foreshores.
General Community Use land can be used for any community purpose.
The updated Community Land Plan of Management is currently on public exhibition until Wednesday, 23 April 2025.
