Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link
As part of the 'Discovery and Dreaming' phase of Council's Rural Villages Strategy, community members are invited to participate in a series of workshops to identify future planning priorities for key rural villages in the Tweed.
Following an initial round of information sessions in late 2013, Council officers have drafted a discussion paper, which summarises key themes and ideas raised by the community.
This current round of workshops will provide the village communities with an opportunity to review the discussion paper and identify their priorities for future planning, before a draft Rural Villages Strategy is prepared in the coming months.
Workshop details are as follows:
Tuesday 1 July, Chillingham Hall, 5.30 - 7pm
Thursday 3 July, Stokers-Dunbible Memorial Hall, 5.30 - 7pm
Tuesday 8 July, Tyalgum Hall, 5.30 - 7pm
Wednesday 16 July, Uki School, 5.30 - 7pm
Thursday 17 July, Crabbes Creek Hall, 5.30 - 7pm
Monday 21 July, Burringbar Hall (for Burringbar and Mooball communities) 5.30 - 7pm
Thursday 24 July, Tumbulgum Hall, 5.30 - 7pm
In addition to the workshops, formal submissions on the discussion paper are invited until close of business on Friday 8 August 2014. Submissions should be addressed to:

Share your experiences of village life
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link
The Your Say Tweed page for Council's Rural Villages Strategy is now live and community members are invited to share their experiences of village life.
The Rural Villages Strategy is all about recognising the distinct characteristics that make each village special, and identifying the opportunities and challenges that are likely to arise as Council and the community seek to protect and promote these inherent values.
If you live, work, learn or play in the villages, Council invites you to share your stories, photos and videos that capture the unique essence of each of the seven villages.
A public discussion began in November, with a series of community meetings to identify priorities for the future of key rural villages across the Tweed: Burringbar, Chillingham, Mooball, Stokers Siding, Tumbulgum, Tyalgum and Uki.
Further community meetings are scheduled for early 2014, when a discussion paper will be presented based on feedback collected via Your Say Tweed and the November community meetings.
In addition, expressions of interest will be called early in the new year for village residents keen to join a reference panel for the study.To join the conversation, visit www.yoursaytweed.com.au/ruralvillages.
