Expressions of Interest are now open to join the Rural Land Industry Management Committee.

The purpose of the Rural Land Industry Management Committee is to give operational support, considered advice and recommendations to management to support the long-term viability of rural agricultural industries and the regeneration of farmland in the Tweed where it aligns with Council services and the current Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

Industry leaders and successful farm businesses are encouraged to apply to share knowledge and expertise. The Committee will explore and promote agricultural growth opportunities for local farmers. Expertise in regenerative agriculture, environmental management on farms, business development and marketing is also being sought.


What is a Management Committee?

Management Committees are an important part of Council’s commitment to community engagement. They are defined as a group of suitably experienced people appointed to give operational support, considered advice, and recommendations to Management (officers) for an operational purpose for a specific program area or project.

What is the role of the Rural Land Industry Management Committee?

The Committee’s role is to:

  • Facilitate communication between industry, rural landholders and government on issues relating to rural agricultural industries.
  • Support the regeneration of farmland in the Tweed LGA through policy advocacy and planning and delivery of on-ground activities by Committee members and their associated industry groups.
  • Recommend opportunities and initiatives that will enhance the rural agricultural industries in the Tweed, including to initially pursue those identified in the Farming Together Case Study Report 2021 prepared by Southern Cross University as part of the Tweed Productive Land Use Working Group project.

What does a Committee Member need to do?

Member responsibilities include:

  • Attend as many scheduled meetings as possible.
  • Share their relevant experience and knowledge.
  • Represent the interests and views of the industry/sector they represent rather than individual interests.
  • Have an interest in developing networks that will promote opportunities and understanding for contemporary forms of regenerative agriculture and how these can be applied within the local farming context.
