Livestock and Business Centre was known as Kiama Stud Registration Centre until December 2005. Kiama Stud Registration Centre began operation in January 1970 as the "registering body" for the Illawarra Cattle Society Australia (formerly AIS Society) and as a home for its Federal Secretariat. The Illawarra Cattle Society of Australia (ICSA) along with other breed societies conducted its business prior to that time through the RAS of NSW. Due to the greater demand for improved services, the ICSA decided to set up its own centre.
