Tweed Shire Council has a contract with Australia Post to deliver the Tweed Link to over 40,000 household mailboxes and post office boxes throughout the Tweed. It is delivered as unaddressed mail which means it is not address specific or direct mail and as a result is not considered as ‘Junk Mail’ and cannot be cancelled for specific addresses.
If you are not receiving your free weekly issue of the Tweed Link please contact Council on (02) 6670 2400 or email tweedlink@tweed.nsw.gov.au with your address. You do not need to provide your name, just the address so we can ensure it is delivered next time.
In addition to the free delivery to households within the Tweed, Council offers both a hard copy and electronic subscription service. For example, you may work in the Tweed however live outside of the Tweed Shire area hence not receive the free delivered issue. Many people also have family here or are moving to the Tweed area and keen to hear about the Tweed. Or you could be a ratepayer who lives outside of the Tweed shire area however would like to keep abreast of what Council is doing in the community.

Council has a contract with Australia Post to deliver the Tweed Link to homes and post boxes throughout the Tweed shire and as this is unaddressed mail, it is not possible to stop delivery to those who also receive the Tweed Link by email.
