The Draft Employment Lands Strategy will provide a strategic planning framework to guide the management and growth of employment lands within the Kiama Local Government Area (LGA) over the next 20 years. Employment lands are used for employment generating activities and include Commercial (ie office, retail and business premises) and Industrial (ie light and heavy industrial premises).

The Draft Employment Lands Strategy has been prepared in accordance with the NSW Government’s Guideline and informed by community and stakeholder feedback. The Strategy includes a vision, information about the Kiama LGA workforce, a supply and demand analysis, land use opportunities and constraints, as well as place-based opportunities and actions.
