Haul route from Tweed Coast Road to Turnock Street, Kingscliff.
A rescission motion for the approval of the construction of a haul route in west Kingscliff by Gales Holdings (DA20/086) that is designed to facilitate bringing in fill from the M1 upgrade was hotly debated at last Thursday’s Tweed Shire Council meeting with confusion over what the DA was and wasn’t approving.
Councillor Ron Cooper (Independent) raised issues for Kingscliff residents in relation to the ‘90,000 truck and trailer movements’ that the bringing in of fill to the development site rather than using sand from the site would have. He told the meeting that approval of the development application (DA) ‘didn’t consider the potential long-term damage to our roads, [impacts on] our amenity, our health, and our tourist industry’.

Tweed Shire Council s vision for a new play area in Jack Evans Harbour is one step closer thanks to grant funding, but the proposed plans go against some resident s requests. The redeveloped Goorimahbah - Place of Stories Inclusive Park and Playspace is proposed to include slides, flying foxes, swings, climbing nets, a sandpit and more play equipment. However what won t be on public display was the proposed water play area for the park. The Goorimahbah redevelopment was discussed at the April 15 Tweed Shire Council meeting where Mayor Chris Cherry suggested including a water feature in the playground was more indicative of what the residents wanted.

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.
