Secondary dwellings in rural areas of Tweed Shire and the trigger for water restrictions were tow key factors under discussion at last nights Tweed Shire Council meeting.
Dual occupancies
The issue of separate dual occupancies on rural lots under ten hectares has been under discussion with a strong push for it from some quarters who claim they are representing farmers needs. Councillors Waren Polglse and Pryce Allsop (conservative) had put forward a Rural Housing Proposal to the 22 October council meeting that would update the proposed Rural Lands Strategy (RLS) to allow detached dual occupancy dwellings of any size to be built on small rural properties. On the vote of Councillor James Owen (Liberal) at the last council meeting the issue had been sent to a workshop for further discussion.
