Kiama Mayor thanks community for helping to clean up Jamberoo Preschool post floods

Kiama Mayor Neil Reilly recently visited Jamberoo Preschool to thank both Council crews and community members for their support in helping to clean up the service after it was caught up in recent flooding. 

 

Counsellor Reilly said it was “heartening to see our crews working with community members, such as parents from the Jamberoo Preschool, with the clean-up work.”

 

He called for an urgent meeting of council staff and stakeholders to arrange temporary accommodation for the Jamberoo Preschool, and to discuss a long-term solution for the service.

 

“This can’t keep happening, it’s time we sort this out. We’re going to proactively look for ideas and speak to government departments about what funds are available to permanently relocate the school,” he said. 

 

“Preschools provide an invaluable service to communities like ours, across Australia, especially in regional areas such as Jamberoo.”

 

“While the preschool is not a Council service, they are an important tenant in one of   our buildings, and we will do what we can to help them out.”
