Kiama Council is committed to cultivating creativity across the Kiama region. We believe that investing in the cultural arts yields significant returns for our community -economically, socially, and by enhancing health and wellbeing.

Community Consultation
Between 5 August and 30 September 2024, we invited you to share your insights, dreams, and experiences to help us craft a Cultural Plan for 2025-29, that reflects our community's creative aspirations.

Throughout the consultation, we received 89 survey responses, engaged with 17 artists in two creative focus groups, connected with over 50 community members at our pop-up events, and had many more valuable conversations. We also gathered input from many internal stakeholders.

Prepare draft
All insights will be reviewed and consolidated into a Community Engagement Report, which will inform the Draft Cultural Plan.

Public exhibition of draft
Pending Council endorsement, the Draft Plan will then be placed on public exhibition for 28 days, offering the community and stakeholders another opportunity to provide feedback.
