Planning zones cover 94% of the locality's area. The rest is unzoned land such as water or road reserve.

In the year to August 2026, 159 new dwellings were approved across Kiama. That mix is 59 houses and 100 units. Approvals are down 34.6% on the same period a year earlier.

Aboriginal Land Council

Aboriginal land in this area is administered by the Illawarra Local Aboriginal Land Council.

Local Aboriginal Land Councils are statutory bodies under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983, responsible for land claims and land management for their members. Their boundaries are administrative and are not a statement of whose Country this is. NSW does not publish a register of Aboriginal parties by area — they are registered for each project.
