Kiama Council May 19 2026 – Ordinary Meeting with Supplementary agenda
May 2026 COUNCIL MEETING INFORMATION – Tuesday 19th May at 5 pm
Note: There has been a supplementary agenda added since the original posting of the details for the May meeting. Council has added a late item, Item 17.1 regarding the extension of time offered for completion of the Performance Improvement Order originally issued in November 2022.
A short extract from the report says: “The proposed variation to the PIO does seek to provide Council with more time to make appropriate budget reductions and investigate opportunities to increase revenue. However, staff do have some initial concerns with the content of the proposed variation to the PIO.”
The supplementary business paper can be downloaded here.
