Kiama Council is establishing a Heritage Advisor Service as part of our new Planning & Development Hub at 32 Manning St, Kiama.
The Planning & Development Hub, at the old Westpac Bank, is where people can get face-to-face advice and guidance from our team of planners, building certifiers and lodgement specialists:

This will soon include being able to book meetings with a specialist Heritage Advisor.
Director Strategies & Communities Ed Paterson said this new service would assist owners contemplating any maintenance or work to their historically significant properties.
"Kiama has a rich First Nations and European history which can be seen in the many heritage buildings, landscapes and historic infrastructure found throughout our towns and villages," Mr Paterson said.
"These structures and landscapes, and the stories they tell of times gone by are highly valued by our community and visitors alike."
Mr Paterson said funding this new service would also support initiatives to identify, conserve and promote places or objects that have significance to the local area and community.
This will include educational programs and developing a Heritage Strategy for the area.
The Heritage Advisor Service has been made possible thanks to funding from both Kiama Council and the NSW Government.
Recruitment for a Heritage Advisor is currently underway.
