Council Amalgamation a threat to Kiama’s Biodiversity
The proposed forced amalgamation of Kiama and Shoalhaven Local Government Areas ignores the significant differences between the two areas topographically, geologically, agriculturally and biologically.
It also ignores the differences in the approach that the two Councils have taken to the protection of significant natural resources and how those differences are expressed in the Local Environment Plans for the areas.
GEPS Submission re Amalgamation highlights these and other issues that support the case for rejection of the forced amalgamation proposal.
Information about the proposed forced amalgamation and the submission process can be obtained by visiting a number of web resources:
