This week's edition of The Bugle is filled with an array of local news and views from the community.

There is a report on the Lions Cottage in Kiama, a long-running institution which provides short-term accommodation for carers which is at risk of being engulfed by high-rise development.

The Cottage is within the northern border of the two-hectare NSW Government-led rezoning proposal for the Kiama Council-owned Precinct.

It has been leased to the Lions Club since members rejuvenated the derelict cottage in 2017 and after opening in December the following year, it has operated as a respite service for carers, providing short-term accommodation.

A new four-year lease for the Cottage kicked in earlier this month and runs until the end of 2029, however the facility could be under threat if plans to turn the area into a 450-home development come to fruition.

You can also read plenty of great community stories including a column from Mayor Cameron McDonald, Kiama High students learning how to become beekeepers, the Everyday Table initiative and the drama after a truck collided with the railbridge barrier on Terralong Street.

In sport, you can read about Kiama's win in the South Coast women's cricket competition, the local oztag teams succeeding at rep level and a tribute to Jamberoo sporting stalwart Greg Harris.

Harris, who died recently, played more than 500 games for Jamberoo Cricket Club, a milestone few in South Coast cricket have ever reached.

He was also heavily involved in the Jamberoo community through organisations such as the Jamberoo Combined Sports Association.
