Suggest a name for Kingscliff's new park

Kingscliff new central park is scheduled to open in March 2018 and Council is inviting community members to suggest possible names for the park.

Council’s meeting last Thursday resolved to consider renaming the park to give it a title which represents the character of the area and to invite submissions from the Tweed community and the Aboriginal Advisory Committee.

Proposed names must meet a few criteria outlined in the Naming of Council Public Parks and Sportsfields Policy.

Under the assessment criteria, if a park is named after a person, that person must have:

· made a significant and long-term contribution to Tweed Shire

· a documented historical link with the locality or made a significant contribution to the social, economic, sporting or cultural development of the community

· lived in Tweed Shire

In accordance with the Geographical Names Board, names of people still alive cannot be considered.

Names can also refer to locally occurring indigenous flora or fauna or other descriptive elements that relate directly to Tweed Shire.

Suggests can be emailed to tsc@tweed.nsw.gov.au, with the subject ‘Kingscliff Foreshore Park naming’, or sent by mail to:
