Kiama Municipal Council extends its condolences to the family of former long-serving local member Bob Harrison OAM, who has died at the age of 91.
Mr Harrison served as Kiama's state MP from 1986-99 when he retired after 28 years in public office, which included two terms as Shellharbour Mayor totalling more than 15 years.
He was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in 2005 for his service to local and state government.
Kiama's Acting Mayor, Melissa Matters, said Mr Harrison had left a lasting legacy on the local community.
"Bob was a dedicated local member who served the communities of Kiama and Shellharbour for many, many years," Councillor Matters said.
"On behalf of Kiama Council, we pay tribute to the impact he made during his decades of public service and extend our best wishes to his family and friends."
