Tweed Shire is about to get their first two fully-fenced off leash dog parks thanks to a recent $3.75 million in Federal Government grants being awarded.
A Tweed Shire Council spokesman said the funding would create two fenced off-leash dog parks in the Tweed at Bray Park and Banora Point.
“The parks will be functional, safe and enjoyable for dogs and their owners,” the spokesman said.
“The projects were identified by the community as a key priority in council’s adopted Open Space Strategy 2019-29.”
One park will be built at the John Baker Reserve on Darlington Drive Banora Point with separated areas for large and small dogs while a second large fenced area will be built at the Bray Park Reserve on Kyogle Road, Murwillumbah.

It s easy to take leftover food at the end of a meal and just toss it in the trash, but getting food waste out of the can and into the right place could play a big role in our state s waste management and help fight climate change. This facility, being one of the first, we were very much pioneers in the process of recovering food waste and what it did was we set the stage for folks and communities to consider recycling their food waste,” explains Brian Paganini, the Vice President of Quantum Biopower in Southington. “In Connecticut food waste is the largest portion of our waste that is the least recycled.

Unacceptable : Chevron Oil Spill Leaks 600 Gallons of Petroleum Into San Francisco Bay
On 2/10/21 at 8:31 AM EST
An oil spill close to Chevron s Richmond refinery has leaked approximately 600 gallons of a petroleum and water mixture into San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay.
The pollutant was pouring into the estuary at a rate of five gallons per minute, according to Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia, who described the incident as unacceptable, and said that it will harm wildlife and marine life.
The source of the leak is believed to be a pipeline on Chevron s long wharf tanker terminal.
Local beaches were closed, members of the public were advised to steer clear of the area, and a health advisory was issued for people with respiratory conditions in Richmond, North Richmond and San Pablo, who may have experienced eye, skin, nose or throat irritation as a result of the incident.
