Kiama Council has been granted an extension of the deadline for submissions on the Draft Kiama Harbour Revitalisation Framework.

Submissions from the public closed 5 March, but Council has been given until 17 March so its submission can be endorsed at the March Council Meeting.

As outlined in an earlier edition, many in the community, including councillors, have doubts about the suitability of the Draft, particularly in relation to practical issues about moving the boat ramp and the resulting loss of parking for the public at the Rock Pool.

The Member for Kiama Gareth Ward visited the rock pool today to hear first hand the concerns of community members.

Public Access will give the community an opportunity to further make their views known to the councillors.

The Council Meeting is on 16 March, with Public Access the day before.
