Making decisions together
At Tweed Shire Council, we share the community’s passion and pride in the Tweed. We are committed to work together to preserve the Tweed lifestyle, our natural environment and make better decisions as a community-led Council.
We welcome the combined experience, imagination and common sense of the Tweed community to guide Council decision-making. As a community, we will grow and learn from each other and, in turn, Council decisions will be more aligned to community aspirations.

Council has been named as a 2019 NSW Resilient Australia Award winner for the Industry Central Land Swap Project. Celebrating their 20th year, this national awards program recognises and promotes initiatives that strengthen community disaster resilience.The Industrial Land Swap project has created an innovative solution to assist selected landowners and businesses located within the high risk flood zone in the South Murwillumbah industrial precinct to relocate to flood free land via a land swap agreement.
The strategy was developed following 2017 ex-tropical cyclone Debbie, which highlighted the profound impact losses to local businesses would have on the wider community.
