Draft Rural Land Strategy now on exhibition

Based on broad community consultation, and detailed investigations, Council has prepared a draft strategy for the planning and management of rural land in Tweed Shire for the next 20 years.

The Draft Strategy presents more than 140 actions consistent with the 9 Policy Directions endorsed by Council in the previous stage of the project.

The Draft Strategy seeks to present a balanced and progressive approach where agricultural and rural activities exist in harmony with environmental and scenic values, rural character is enhanced, and employment opportunities encouraged through innovation, by a skilled and resilient community.

Council invites feedback on this draft document from all interested in the future of rural land in Tweed Shire.
