In the council's draft fees and charges, which were on public exhibition until May 23, it was proposed to increase leisure centre memberships by 5 per cent. Council staff now recommend an increase of 3 per cent "to reflect the cost of increased wages within the leisure centre and to remain attractive to local residents and visitors".
Meantime, a proposal for a car park and toilet facility at Loves Bay at the northern end of the Kiama Coastal Walk has drawn a 42-signature petition opposing the move. Residents argue the project would "destroy a pristine area of natural beauty".
