Wednesday 29 August 2018

Today Council received $100,000 in funding under the Restart NSW – Safe and Secure Water Program to assist Council to engage an independent consultant to identify and assess options to protect the Tweed’s Water Supply as recommended by the Project Reference Group.

Member for Lismore Thomas George made the funding announcement at Bray Park Weir in company with Tweed Shire Council Managing Director Troy Green, Project Manager Rob Siebert and PRG member Councillor Pryce Allsop.

Council now has to formally accept the funding offer.

The next meeting of the PRG will be held on 19 September. At this meeting, the PRG will identify options to be assessed by the independent consultant and the assessment criteria to be used.
