Kiama Municipal Council fully supports the operation of local markets within the Municipality, whether they be at Black Beach, Coronation Park, Reid Park or Gerringong Town Hall.
All market operators hold valid licences issued via resolution in 2023 for a period of 5 years and Council has no intention to close or suspend any markets as all current markets are operating in accordance with Council's adopted Market Policy.
KMC has a constructive working relationship with local market operators and values the role markets play in bringing fresh produce, additional visitor spend, visitor experience and ambience to our Municipality.
Council received a petition related to Kiama Seaside Markets at its meeting on 21 October 2025 and, in accordance with Council's Petition Policy, a report will be prepared for a future meeting.
The operations / composition of stalls within the Kiama Seaside Markets are wholly a matter for the Kiama Business Network to resolve, not Council.
