Kiama Municipal Council is aware of the concerns being raised in the community following the announcement of Tuesday's Extraordinary Meeting.
No decisions have been made at this stage. The information being shared reflects a range of options under consideration as part of the budget process, not final outcomes.
Council is required to work towards a balanced budget by June 2027 under the Performance Improvement Order implemented by the NSW Government. This work is being undertaken in a structured and transparent way.
The timing of the meeting is driven by statutory budget requirements, including the need to exhibit the draft budget for 28 days.
Any potential changes would follow the appropriate workplace industrial processes. These discussions are part of setting the parameters to build a draft budget that meets Council's obligations under the PIO.
We understand the importance of these services to our community and will continue to provide updates throughout this process.
