The NSW Local Government Grants Commission announced that proposed changes to the Commonwealth Financial Assistance Grants funding system will not proceed. These changes had been suggested by an independent commission that proposed a radical overhaul of the grant methodology. CEO Jane Frawley, representing the Municipality of Kiama, submitted concerns and wrote to Chris Minns regarding the proposed funding model.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The proposed methodology would have reduced the Municipality of Kiama's annual allocation from $2.558 million to $1.062 million. The decision to halt the changes stabilizes the council's budget and prevents significant funding cutbacks that would have affected Kiama and other neighboring councils.
