Long term planning to shape the future of the Tweed

Council’s range of strategies and plans work together to set the community’s vision and goals for the Tweed, plan programs and services that will deliver on those goals and allocate appropriate resources to make it happen.

The Tweed community’s vision and priorities for the next decade are described in the Community Strategic Plan (CSP). The CSP is one of the most important strategic documents for Council and makes sure that our community’s priorities guide all other Council plans and strategies, including this one.
