Hundreds attend information stalls

Approximately 350 people attended a series of community information stalls to discuss Council's Delivery Program 2011/2015 and Operational Plan 2011/2012, including a stand at last Thursday's Seniors Expo in Murwillumbah.

Many visitors to the expo spent time at Council's stand for the Delivery Program, which followed a series of community information stalls Council staged at markets and shopping centres during the past month.

Council followed up those sessions by conducting a meeting with business and resident group representatives last Friday to further discuss the Delivery Program.

A new high school in Pottsville, the provision of public toilets, noxious weed control and the location of a new Murwillumbah Community Centre were leading issues raised at the meeting.

Tweed residents and organisations now have a few days left to provide their feedback on the Delivery Program and Operational Plan, which outline the projects and activities Council will undertake to achieve the objectives in the Tweed Community Strategic Plan 2011/2021.

They have until Friday 27 May at 4pm to provide input by lodging a written submission or participating in the community online forum on this website.

A scenic landscape strategy for Terranora and an expansion of sporting facilities at Cudgen Leagues Club are two issues raised so far on the forum, which has separate threads for the Strategic Plan and Delivery Program’s four themes – Civic Leadership, Supporting Community Life, Strengthening the Economy and Caring for the Environment.

Written submissions can be emailed to tsc@tweed.nsw.gov.au or posted to General Manager, Tweed Shire Council, PO Box 816, Murwillumbah 2484.
