Terranora Creek foreshore upgrade

TWEED Shire Council is seeking community feedback on the plans to upgrade the Terranora Creek foreshore.

Restoration works planned for early 2025 aim to increase safety and community access to the creek, including improving the creek foreshore and the removal of dilapidated, unsafe constructions.

The $400,000 parkland upgrade includes the removal of broken and degraded foreshore structures built years ago without Council

approval and replacing the structures with rock walls to prevent erosion. Two new stairs with ramps will improve community access to the creek.

The Council’s coast and waterways team leader, Tom Alletson, said the upgrade would improve community access to the creek and remove unsafe and unsightly structures.

“During construction, access to the park will be limited, however the end result will be an enhanced foreshore for local residents and those that visit the area,” Mr Alletson said.

“We know Tweed residents value our region’s waterways, and this project marks a significant step forward in providing safer and more accessible spaces and areas for the whole community to enjoy.”

Consultation with residents whose homes back onto the park has begun, and construction is expected to last for about four weeks.

The NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Program has funded the project.

The initiative aims to boost the wellbeing of communities in regional areas by providing new or upgraded social infrastructure.
