The strategy's objectives

The Scenic Landscape Strategy will be designed to:

• Identify and map distinct landscapes in the Tweed
• Assess the character and scenic quality of these landscapes based on methodology established by the Comprehensive Coastal Management Visual Management System (2004), and building on past landscape character evaluations
• Identify highly valued and iconic views, viewing locations and viewing experiences throughout Tweed Shire
• Understand the qualitative elements of views that underpin why these are important to residents and visitors
• Understand how they might be affected by change and identify landscapes most sensitive to modification
• Develop strategies, design guidelines and controls to protect and/or enhance scenic amenity, through well informed decisions on conservation, development and management.
