Plenty are ready to have their say on Kingscliff's future character

Roundtable discussions on draft Kingscliff Locality Plan filling up fast

There has been a strong public response to the upcoming roundtable discussions on the draft Kingscliff Locality Plan, with a change in venue to cater for the numbers able to attend.

The roundtable discussions will now be held at the Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club on Tuesday 4 September, with two sessions: one from 12pm to 2.30pm and the other from 5.30pm to 8pm.

Each session will cater for 100 people, allowing more people to participate than the previous venue, the Kingscliff Community Hall.

Those wishing to attend will need to book quickly through tweedshire.eventbrite.com.au or by calling Council's Contact Centre on (02) 6670 2400.

Council's Director Planning and Regulation, Vince Connell, said the Kingscliff Locality Plan (KLP) and the Development Control Plan (DCP) provided a 30-year vision and planning framework to guide the future growth and expansion of the Kingscliff locality.

The plan addresses important issues for Kingscliff's future such as building height, greenfield developments, town centre improvements and housing.

"It's great to see that so many people want to attend the roundtable discussions, as community input is vital to ensure that the locality plan reflects the visions and expectations of local residents and the community," Mr Connell said.

"Our planners have put many of their ideas into the Draft Kingscliff Locality Plan and Development Control Plan, but there is no-one better than the community to guide us to the best outcome."

If you miss out or unable to attend, you can still have your say online, through yoursaytweed.com.au/kingsclifflocalityplan. There you'll find all the relevant documents on the plan (including a handy summary), as well discussion forums and a quick poll.

The draft KLP and DCP will be on exhibition for public comment until 24 September 2018.
