Tweed Link to be published in local newspapers in 2018

05 December 2017

Tweed Link will continue - distribution will change

For 20 years, Tweed Shire Council has independently printed and distributed the Tweed Link, providing a trusted source of Council and community information. Council would like to advise residents of changes to the Tweed Link which will take effect from January 2018.

Times have changed and independently printing and distributing the Tweed Link for 42,500 households each week, in a growing population, has become unsustainable.

From the week commencing the 15 January 2018, the Tweed Link will now appear in the local free newspapers, the Tweed Daily News (Wednesday community edition) and Tweed Valley Weekly (Thursdays). Together, these newspapers have a combined print run of approximately 45,000 and is complemented by strong online and social media readership and Council email subscription services.

  • These changes will provide significant savings and allow residents to choose their preference to receive or access the Tweed Link and stay informed about Council news. From 15 January, the Tweed Link will be available:
  • In a free weekly printed format available to the majority of Tweed households and bulk drops through two local free newspapers
  • As a weekly electronic subscription service direct to your inbox www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Subscribe
  • On Council’s website www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Tweedlink
  • As a video version of the ‘Tweed e-Link’ for Council’s YouTube and social media channels, to grow our online and social media followers (coming soon).
  • At Council offices and some Council-owned community facilities.
What can I do? What are my options?

  • Subscribe at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/subscribe to get the Tweed Link (or a range of other subscription services) sent directly to your inbox each week.
  • Follow Council on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and Linkedin.
  • Adapt your news reading habits to find the Tweed Link in the weekly Tweed Daily News and the Tweed Valley Weekly.
  • Drop into Council’s offices and some other community facilities to pick up a copy.
  • Sign up to Your Say Tweed at www.yoursay.tweed.nsw.gov.au to stay informed Council’s engagement activities and get notifications about ways you can have your say.
The last independently printed and distributed Tweed Link will be next week - Tuesday 12 December 2017 Issue 1036. Council takes a break from publishing over the Christmas – New Year period and will return with the Tweed Link in the new format in January 2018.
