Kiama Council releases masterplans for sport complex and beach reserve

Kiama Council releases masterplans for sport complex and beach reserve
June 11, 2025

The draft masterplans for Kiama Sports Complex and South Werri Beach Reserve have been released by Kiama Council. The draft masterplans will help the future layout and design of these two community facilities and are important part in attracting the necessary government funding to carry out the work.

The masterplan for the Kiama Sports Complex (including the Kiama Leisure Centre) is designed to address the need for significant upgrades to the playing surface, lighting, buildings and amenities, which are nearing the end of their lifespan.

It provides options for an integrated design with high-quality infrastructure and amenities, that enhance sport participation.

The masterplan for the South Werri Reserve reflects the community’s desire to preserve as much native habitat as possible while creating more opportunities for recreation.

This includes an improved playground, picnic area, skate park and pumptrack, new basketball court, renewed tennis courts, seating, pathways, shade trees and vegetation.

The drafts were developed with extensive public and targeted consultation to learn what the community would like at each site.

They also help realise Council’s vision for a healthy, sustainable and caring community.

The draft masterplans are now on public exhibition until Tuesday, 5th August 2025.
