Public feedback on the management of the Tweed River is invited through a community survey being launched this week.
The questionnaire, being conducted by independent survey consultant Jetty Research, is part of community engagement to help produce a Tweed River Estuary Coastal Management Plan.
Visit yoursaytweed.com.au/tweed-river-estuary for a link to the online survey, while printed copies are available at Council’s Murwillumbah and Tweed offices and the libraries.
“We want to know how people use the river and its surrounds and what they value about the Tweed River Estuary,” Council’s Director of Community and Natural Resources, Tracey Stinson, said.
“What do they think of the river’s health and what do they think of the various practices to manage it.”
Jetty Research last month conducted a phone survey of randomly selected residents to get a statistically representative sample of community views for the management plan.
“The community survey replicates the questions in that phone survey, so everyone now has the chance to give their feedback on the use and preservation of our iconic Tweed River,” Ms Stinson said.
The survey will be open for feedback until 7 November.
Visitors to yoursaytweed.com.au/tweed-river-estuary can also share their stories about the river and find out more about the management plan.
