As of Monday 2 December Coast and Country Community Services has taken over the operation of Kiama Council’s Blue Haven Community Transport program.
Coast and Country Community Services has established a local office in Kiama to oversee its operations, building on its success across the Shoalhaven City LGA, Bega Valley Shire LGA, and the Young/Boorowa and Weddin areas.
Kiama Council Chief Operating Officer Joe Gaudiosi welcomes Coast and Country Community Services to Kiama as a new provider for community transport clients.
“It will ensure our community continues to receive reliable and high-quality transport services, supporting both residents and staff across the region,” says Mr Gaudiosi.
Blue Haven Community Transport was operated by Kiama Council on behalf of Transport NSW, and has been divested separately from the rest of Blue Haven Bonaira.
The divestment includes five vehicles, three staff, and the majority of its volunteers. The vehicles will temporarily be garaged at Kiama Council’s Works Depot.
All Blue Haven Community Transport clients have been informed about the switch over to the new service provider.
For further information on the divestment, please visit the Blue Haven FAQs page.
