The Landscape
Dalmeny, Kianga and Narooma are located in the south of the Shire. The towns are
situated on sensitive waterways which include the Wagonga inlet, and the Kianga, Little and

Figure 9-19 Dalmeny, Kianga and Narooma Topographic Map
The 2001 census recorded 1 785 people in Dalmeny, 1 145 in Kianga and 2 267 in
Narooma. There are 747 lots available at Dalmeny, 273 at Kianga, 172 at North Narooma
and 869 at Narooma. This is sufficient for to meet the projected growth of the area over the
30 year planning timeframe.
Existing Water Management Systems
Dalmeny, Kianga and Narooma are connected to the regional water supply system.
The Kianga STP services the Dalmeny, Kianga and Narooma communities. It has a design
capacity of 12 000 EP and currently uses a continuous and intermittent extended aeration
processes decommissioned. The plant utilises secondary treatment processes and natural
disinfection prior to discharging to the ocean. Similar to the other STPs, stabilised and
dewatered biosolid is used in the rehabilitation of Council’s landfill.
An estimated 8 490 kL/a of stormwater is generated in Narooma. The subcatchment that
drains to Little Lake has been ranked as a priority catchment for the region. Dams on the
Narooma golf course are used to retain stormwater for on-site reuse. Figure 9-20 shows the
stormwater sub-catchments for this area.
