Thank you to the over 250 people who completed the Community Climate Action and Readiness Survey and many who participated in in-depth interviews. 


Thank you also to the more than 45 people who registered and participated in community co-design sessions to delve deeper into community strategies for climate action. 

Griffith University are now analysing the results and compiling recommendations for the Tweed Shire Council's review. The report will be submitted to Council and made available in July.

Congratulations to Julie who won an eco-friendly prize pack of products and local services worth over $500 donated by local Tweed businesses. Pamela, Lois, Christine and Craig each won $100 ‘Why Leave Town’ vouchers to use locally.



Tell us about your climate readiness and views on climate change!

Council has engaged Griffith University to find out how the Tweed community wants to be supported to act on climate-related events, reduce its greenhouse gas emissions footprint and be prepared for local climate risks and impacts.

All Tweed Shire residents, 18 years and older, are invited to have their say in a community survey to understand residents’ knowledge and experiences with climate impacts as well as the actions residents already do or want to take in the future.

The survey will take around 20 minutes to complete. While it is possible to complete this survey on a mobile device, we suggest using a laptop or computer.

Residents who participate in the survey before 5pm Monday 30 January 2023 will enter a draw to win an eco-friendly gift basket of products worth over $500 donated by local Tweed businesses or 4 runner-up prizes of $100 Why Leave Town vouchers to use locally. 


In early 2023, residents will also be invited to participate in community conversations and co-design of local community-led climate action and disaster preparedness strategies. Click here to be notified about the 2023 Climate Ready Tweed community conversations.
