Consultation closes 5pm, 30 September 2024.

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.

As we develop a new Cultural Plan for our community, we invite your valuable input. Share your insights, dreams, and experiences to help us craft a Cultural Plan for 2025-2029 that reflects our community's creative aspirations and provides something for everyone in our community.
