Public health

There are 2 parts to public health:

  • prevention rather than cure
  • community health (rather than individual).

Council supports projects that:

  • increase physical activity
  • improve road safety
  • provide public shade structures
  • support aged and home care services
  • support good urban and social planning.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Access the NSW and Australian Government websites for information and advice about Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Chemicals and pesticides

Safe use and disposal of chemicals and pesticides.

Needle and syringe management

Sharps must be kept secure and disposed of carefully.

Aboriginal acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge the Ngandowal and Minyungbal speaking people of the Bundjalung Country, in particular the Goodjinburra, Tul-gi-gin and Moorung – Moobah clans, as being the traditional owners and custodians of the land and waters within the Tweed Shire boundaries. We also acknowledge and respect the Tweed Aboriginal community’s right to speak for its Country and to care for its traditional Country in accordance with its lore, customs and traditions.
