For various reasons, the timeframes of the ambitious program of strategic planning initiatives being simultaneously undertaken by Council have been extended.
Here is the latest timing:
Kiama Town Centre and Heritage review
Staff have reviewed the 150 submissions received during the recent exhibition.
Amendments have been made to the Heritage section, which is being put to the June Meeting of Council for adoption.
It is anticipated the final version of the Draft Town Centre DCP will go before the July Meeting.
Housing Strategy
The Housing Strategy has been delayed following the temporary suspension of Council committees and reference groups [Groups assisting Council paused temporarily].
It is now is anticipated that a Discussion Paper will be published in July, with a draft strategy exhibited around September.
Gerringong Town Centre Review
This has also been delayed.
Following a submission from the community, the recently exhibited draft Delivery Program and Operational Plan seeks to undertake the Review in conjunction with the broader Employment Lands Strategy and Gerringong Heritage Review.
Jamberoo Heritage Review
This has also been put on hold due to the committees’ suspension.
Consultants have continued to undertake their work with reports due shortly.
It is anticipated a report, to commence community engagement, will be prepared in time for the August Council Meeting.
