Luis Feliu

Tweed Shire Council is to be called on to con- sult with residents over a proposed multi-mil- lion-dollar marina complex for Boyds Bay an- nounced by NSW Lands Minister Tony Kelly during a visit to the Tweed last week. Mr Kelly announced the preferred joint-ven- ture partners to develop the $30-million-plus 185-berth marina facility on the Crown land site next to the Tweed River, saying he ‘can assure the community that public consultation will occur as part of the development assessment process’. But Greens councillor Katie Milne, who along with other councillors met with the minister on the day of the announcement, said she would push councillors to ensure community consul- tation on the issue with a motion at the Tweed Shire Council meeting next Tuesday (July 21). The move follows in the wake of a complaint by the Point Danger Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) squad that it has been kept in the dark over the marina’s inclusion of the squad’s long- sought-after base. VMR president Bernie Gabriel told The Echo Roxanne Millar Friends of the Pound foster cat coordinator Trudi Cox communes with one of her clients.

Known by most of the local Aboriginal people as Wollumbin, which means cloud catcher, Mount Warning and its caldera were formed more than 20 million years ago after a massive eruption caused the walls of this now extinct volcano to collapse. The towering, cone-shaped peak of the mountain Tumbulgum 8 dominates just about every view of the Tweed hin- terland, and it alone makes the trip worthwhile. But the area has so much more to offer. The Tweed hinterland is the ideal destination for a scenic and relaxing day out. Around every corner in every Crystal Creek 7 village, there are interesting places to go and things to experience, fascinating people to meet, delicious food and of course the stunning scenery. Each village has its own unique charm, so make Tyalgum 6 sure you explore as many of them as possible. An old rural area that has become a haven for those with a more alternative or creative bent, it offers the best of all these worlds. It’s a wonderful drive, Stokers Siding but it’s getting out of the car and exploring on foot 4 that gives you the best insight into the delights that this beautiful area has to offer.
