Mayor takes Central Park discussion to businesses

The Mayor of Tweed, Councillor Kevin Skinner, has spent the past few days visiting Marine Parade businesses to discuss the Kingscliff Central Park concept plans.

Cr Skinner said he was keen to hear the views of Kingscliff business people about Central Park, which would link these businesses with the beach.

"It would create a new community nucleus on the doorstep of these businesses," he said.

"The consensus seems to be 'let's make Central Park a reality, the sooner the better'."

Kingscliff businessman Mark Zwemer said the proposed Central Park would be a great initiative for the town.

"I have been saying for a while that there needed to be better access from the central business area to the beach," Mr Zwemer said.

"I really like the concept Council has put forward. I would like to see the provision of more parking and to possibly look at moving the park to the middle of the existing holiday park site."
