TWEED Shire Council is seeking community feedback on two draft policies outlining how the council works with developers, and addressing the removal of high-value trees and vegetation.<\/p>\n

The draft Planning Agreement Policy aims to improve the transparency and consistency of development contributions, as well as how the council negotiates voluntary agreements with developers to deliver infrastructure, land, and community assets.<\/p>\n

The draft Compensatory Planting Policy outlines the delivery of planting to compensate for the removal of regulated trees and vegetation.<\/p>\n

The council’s director of engineering, Tim Mackney, said both policies reflected the council’s commitment to sustainable growth and creating healthy, liveable communities.<\/p>\n

“These policies are about making sure development supports the community and the environment,”\u202fMackney said.<\/p>\n

“I encourage everyone to have a look and share their views. Your feedback will help us manage the impacts of development in the Tweed.”<\/p>\n

Both policies are on display together, as they are often applied in tandem as part of the development assessment and approval process.<\/p>\n

This enables community members and stakeholders to reflect on how the two policies work in tandem to support sustainable growth and environmental protection.<\/p>\n

Community members, developers and stakeholders can read the documents and complete a short survey until Wednesday, October 22.<\/p>\n
