The draft Kiama Harbour and Blowhole Point Headland master plan provides "a strategic direction" for the future of an invaluable 30 hectares of Crown land managed by Kiama council as "the reserve trustee".

The reserve, which includes areas such as Black Beach, School Flat, Storm Bay and Pheasant Point, experiences heavy use all year round, and the council expects pressures on the reserve to increase in coming years.

Facilities in the Crown reserve include a boat harbour, tourist park and tourist information centre, rock platforms, pools and the world famous Kiama Blowhole.

The new master plan will replace a 2002 plan of management for the area.

The 2002 plan identified more than 20 projects, including the redevelopment of the Blowhole Point Holiday Park, amenities buildings and a new wharf.

The council has been working its way though the list of projects over the past decade.

A Kiama council spokeswoman said the plan aimed to consolidate various projects, many of which were the refurbishment or replacement of existing facilities, to create a consistent "theme" or "brand" for the area.

The new master plan proposes the long-term retention of the tourist cabin park on Blowhole Point and highlights "the need to maximise the potential of the harbour precinct for commercial and tourist activity".

"The draft master plan notes areas of possible commercial development opportunities but does not make recommendations on what these should be," the spokeswoman said.

She said public consultation would be part of any future commercial development.

The draft plan is expected to go on public exhibition for public comment in early December.
