Bugle Bulletin: Ward resigns, local awards, Bundanon art and another NRL debut

Another Monday, another Bugle Bulletin - our weekly video roundup bringing you the latest local news and weekend sports highlights is out now.


This week’s episode kicks off with major political news: Gareth Ward has officially resigned. We unpack what this means for Kiama and explore who might be in the running to replace him.



Next, we head to the Kiama Pavilion for the 2025 Local Government Awards, where Sabrina Kelly was among the standout achievers.


We also report from the homelessness forum held last Thursday at the Kiama Leagues Club, before hearing from Anna-Lee Hamilton, Chief Operations Officer of the Disability Community of Wollongong.


In arts and culture, we speak with Rachel Kent, CEO of Bundanon Art Museum, and review Shore Break, which lit up the stage at the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre last Tuesday.



On the sporting front, we recap the fiery local derby between the Kiama Knights and the Gerringong Lions, celebrate a try on NRL debut for Gerringong junior Hayden Buchanan, and spotlight Juan Castilla, who is set to compete at the 2025 Australian Bodyboarding Titles later this month.





The Bugle team is committed to pairing compelling visuals with meaningful local storytelling - creating a news experience that’s informative, entertaining, and immersive.
