Kiama Police Station has been officially reopened today after its temporary closure in April to undergo major repairs.
Works included essential roof and interior repairs, including the replacement of roof sheets and guttering, the removal of damaged skylights, mould remediation, repainting and new carpeting.
Kiama will continue to be serviced 24-hours a day by the Lake Illawarra Police District with officers, backed by specialist units and intelligence-based deployments as needed, said Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism, Yasmin Catley.
“The Kiama Police Station has stood the test of time and remains a much-loved part of this beautiful town,” said Minister Catley.
“Face-to-face interaction with police is important for many people, and this building provides just that. It stands as a place of connection for the community and complements the outstanding work of officers across the Lake Illawarra Police District.
“The Minns Labor Government is committed to backing our police with the safe workplaces, facilities and resources they need to keep communities right across the South Coast safe.”
Member-elect for Kiama, Katelin McInerney said the police station was part of the town’s fabric.
“It’s fantastic to see this historic building back open and serving the community,” she said.
“These works mean our local police have a safe and clean workplace, and our community continues to have a welcoming, accessible point of contact.”
