Shaping the Future of the Tweed

Long term planning to shape the future of the Tweed

The community has an opportunity every Council term to influence the long term plan for the Tweed and set the vision for the future they would like to see. Council then responds by making sure its programs and services are designed to meet the community's ambitions for the Tweed.


Our community's plan for the future

The Community Strategy Plan (CSP) describes the community’s vision and aspirations for a period of ten of or more years. The Tweed Community Strategic Plan was last drafted in 2017. Council has now reviewed it to make sure it still reflects the community's priorities for the future.

Through engagement with the community, have reviewed the CSP to make sure it reflects:

  • community priorities and aspirations for the next 10 years
  • includes the community's vision, strategic objectives and strategies to achieve those objectives
  • social, environmental, economic and civic leadership issues
  • social justice principles: equity, access, participation and rights
  • other relevant state and regional plans

Read the new draft Tweed Community Strategic Plan 2022 - 2032.

    The Tweed community has already told us that it values a local environment that supports a healthy ecosystem with strong biodiversity values, appropriate local agricultural production and preserving the natural beauty of the Tweed for current and future generations to enjoy.

    This includes:
    • Taking action as caretakers for our natural environment.
    • Working together to reduce our impact on the natural environment and adapting to climate change.
