Richmond Valley Council has already spent $944,000 in legal fees from 1999-January 2009, assuming by 2019 well in excess of $1 million dollars in ratepayer funds. The waste of our money on this unsustainable development needs to end. 2. Environmental concerns Koala - is a threatened species, who are losing natural habitat specifically in the Evans/Woodburn/Broadwater region as a result of land clearing for the highway, Iron Gates will displace and remove critical natural corridor that allows the koala & other species to migrate. The recent Bush Fires has accelerating the destruction of native habitat for the koala and other native species proceeding the tragic Rappville & Bora Ridge fires. Koala droppings were found on the perimeter of the proposed development site, a reasonable person knowing Koala’s move to find specific eucalypt trees to feed on would think they would move within the site boundary to source the specific trees they eat that are established within the proposed development site.

  • Operators' Marketing Toolkit Version 1: Issued 10Th July
    OPERATORS’ MARKETING TOOLKIT VERSION 1: ISSUED 10TH JULY 2020 RIGHT NOW, AUSSIES ARE KEEN TO GET BACK OUT THERE From drought and bushfires to COVID-19, the challenges of the last 12 months have taught us all that – the things money can’t buy are the most important. Australians are now thinking differently about virtually every aspect of their lives; including how and where they holiday. They are prioritising spending time with the people they love, in places that make them feel alive, connected and enriched. OUR NEW CAMPAIGN With bushfire funding support from the Queensland and Australian Governments, we’re proud to launch the Scenic Rim’s biggest tourism campaign yet: This campaign creative strategy packages up the wealth of what our region and you, our wonderful tourism operators offer as a collective. It celebrates the abundance and richness we offer through our authentic people and places. This campaign proudly places us on par with, or above, other tourist regions. And, it differentiates us from our competitors. Significantly: you are a major part of this offering. Great operators and team players like you welcome our region’s visitors with open arms and set us apart. You are as much, if not more, a part of our authentic and generous visitor experience as our stunning, natural surrounds. WHY DO WE NEED THIS CAMPAIGN? AS A DESTINATION BRAND, THE SCENIC RIM ONLY CAME INTO EXISTENCE IN 2008 Our beautiful landscapes, the traditional lands of the Yugambeh people, have been around forever. But compared to the Great Barrier Reef, or Outback Queensland, the Scenic Rim region is a relatively new and emerging tourist destination brand.
