Kiama Mayor Neil Reilly has returned to work this week after a month's leave of absence, and has thanked Deputy Mayor Imogen Drasima for acting as Mayor while he was away.
"Cr Draisma has done a sterling job, chairing our March Council Meeting and participating in various civic events and media opportunities, and I appreciate her stepping up. It's great to be back and I'm looking forward to a busy few months ahead."
Cr Reilly said Council was on the cusp of some important developments, such as the Blue Haven divestment, mid-year budgets, and the leadup to September's Local Government Elections and referendum on the direct election of the Mayor.
"So much hard work has been and continues to be undertaken by Councillors and Council staff and I'm positive about seeing some great outcomes realised in this final period of our current term of office."
