The Jamberoo Valley Ratepayers and Residents’ Association (JVRRA) will start the ball rolling in the run up to the Council elections in September with a ‘meet the candidates’ session at its next meeting in early July (SEE BELOW FOR POSTPONEMENT).

JVRRA’s chair, Stuart Richards, says the candidates and prospective candidates would have an opportunity to briefly explain their policies and then answer members’ questions in a session to last at least an hour.

The meet the candidate sessions we are aware of are:

• JVRRA Tuesday 6 July, upstairs meeting room of Club Jamberoo, 7pm. Members and non-members will need to register to attend at: [email protected] POSTPONED TO A DATE TO BE CONFIRMED
• Central Precinct Tuesday 27 July, Joyce Wheatley Centre, 7pm
• Minnamurra Progress Association Tues 3 August, Progress Hall, Charles St, 7.15pm
• Kiama & District Business Chamber Monday 9 August, The Pavilion Kiama, 5.30pm
• South Precinct 15 July, Gerringong Town Hall, 7.30pm

We also understand that KiKi Bitofabitch is planning to hold a series of interviews with the candidates at the Art Bar Kiama over July/August. They are sure to face an entirely different set of questions to those at the meetings above.

The Council election will be held on Saturday 4 September.

With the launch of The Bugle App, the Kiama community is going to have access to unprecedented information about the various groups and people vying for your vote. Watch for our new Council Election button on the home page in the coming weeks.
