Council has developed a draft Plan of Management for Salt Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) and adjoining parkland.

The Salt SLSC is on Council-owned community land.

In accordance with the Local Government Act 1993, the draft Plan of Management provides guidelines for the management of community land.

This is to ensure preservation of the quality and amenity of community land and facilities to meet the recreational, cultural, social and intellectual needs of the community.

What does this mean?

The draft Plan (compared with the current Plan of Management) proposes to:

reduce the land area with the category General Community Use to the Salt SLSC building footprint only.

allocate the category of Park to the adjoining parkland.

provide guidance on the use of the Salt Surf Life Saving Club building for functions.

The changes to General Community Use and Park categories will make it consistent with the rest of the Tweed Shire.

Use of the Salt SLSC building as a function centre is not permitted under the current Plan of Management.

Location of the proposed Plan of Management.

The land subject to the Plan of Management are Lots 1-4 LP 1234959 Bells Boulevard, Kingscliff which includes Salt Surf Life Saving Club and the adjoining parkland as highlighted in the maps below.

See maps below and in the photo library showing outlines of the proposed areas in question.

What has been done to date?

A Planning Proposal seeking to amend the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 (LEP 2014) facilitating the function centre land use at the site has been endorsed by Council. Previous consultation about this process was undertaken and was open for submissions from 12 June to 10 July 2024. Read more about the history of this project below.
