A consultant appointed by the State Government to formulate a Regional Economic Development Strategy (REDS) for Kiama is seeking feedback from the community on its discussion paper.

The introduction of the REDS program will see all of the economic regional areas identified in the State being assisted to develop their strategies by the same consulting group, using the same structure, so that the merits of the various funding decisions can be more easily compared.

While the 2014 Kiama Economic Development Strategy is being used as a starting point for the new document, new ideas are welcome.

The discussion paper includes a SWOT analysis and infrastructure priorities for comment and suggestion.

Details: The paper is on Council’s website. Submissions close 20 January. For more detail contact Megan Hutchison
