Community feedback is invited on the draft of a new policy to manage commercial recreation activities in the Tweed’s public open spaces.
The policy comes in response to the increasing number of commercial recreation activities seeking approval to operate on Tweed Shire parks, beaches and other public open space.
It seeks to address the conflicting demands that have emerged as a result and meet community expectations about the use of public open space.
“While many people participate in these commercial recreation activities, such as boot camps, surf schools, beach equipment hire and commercial markets, others are concerned it can impact on their more traditional uses of these spaces,” Council’s Open Space Officer, Grahame Burton, said.
The draft Commercial Recreation Activities on Public Open Space Policy is on exhibition until 23 October. For more information, visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/OnExhibition
