Kiama Council COVID update: January 2022
Published on 20 January 2022
Kiama Council remains open for business but is encouraging the public to take advantage of our phone and online services due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation.
To minimise contact and the risk of contracting COVID or having to isolate, we have reduced the number of people in our offices, with staff working from home where possible.
Our essential services like waste collection, cleaning and maintenance are all continuing.
Our facilities that remain open with COVID-safe QR check-ins and mandatory masks for indoor areas include:
Council facilities currently closed to the public:
Australia Day events:
- Our Australia Day awards event has been cancelled
- Our Australia Day citizenship ceremony has been moved online
- Our Australia Day barbeques, entertainment and helicopter flyover will still go ahead
While our customer service counter remains open to the public, we’re encouraging members of the community to interact with Council via phone or online where possible.
Payments can be made over the phone by calling our cashiers on (02) 4232 1105.
Our over-the-counter planning and development advice services have switched to online and phone meetings. Please refer to Council’s website for more information on our different development advice services and contact us to arrange a meeting via Zoom, Teams or phone.
To submit development applications (DAs), you can visit the NSW Planning Portal or email council@kiama.nsw.gov.au.
