Tweed residents and organisations have only a few days to provide their feedback on two key Tweed Shire Council planning documents to pursue the community’s visions for the district.
Last week TWC completed a series of community information stalls, attended by around 350 people, and conducted a forum with representatives of several residents’ and business associations. A scenic landscape strategy for Terranora and an expansion of sporting facilities at Cudgen Leagues Club are two issues raised so far on the forum, which has separate threads for the Strategic Plan and Delivery Program’s four themes – Civic Leadership, Supporting Community Life, Strengthening the Economy and Caring for the Environment. A new high school in Pottsville, the provision of public toilets, noxious weed control and the location of a new Murwillumbah Community Centre were leading issues during the meeting with the Tweed interest groups last Thursday.
The Community Strategic Plan, draft Delivery Program and all the supporting documents, including the draft budget, are available on www.yoursaytweed.com.au, as well as the On Exhibition section of Council’s corporate website, www.tweed.nsw.gov.au.
Individuals and group representatives can provide feedback on the Delivery Program and Operational Plan by visiting Council’s new community engagement website, www.yoursaytweed.com.au and participating in the online forum. The deadline for comments is Friday, May 27 at 4pm for input on the Delivery Program 2011/2015 and Operational Plan 2011/2012, which outline the projects and activities Council will undertake to achieve the objectives in the Tweed Community Strategic Plan 2011/2021. Written submissions can be emailed to tsc@tweed.nsw.gov.au or posted to General Manager, Tweed Shire Council, PO Box 816, Murwillumbah 2484.
