Tweed’s On top of the world water assets secured Ken Sapwell
Tweed Shire Council appears to have fended off a threatened takeover of its water assets valued at $1 billion. An independent inquiry into regional water supplies and sewerage service has recommend- ed that the Tweed remains as a stand-alone entity. Its fi ndings have been hailed by council’s gen- eral manager, Mike Rayner, as ‘good news’ for the Tweed – but not everyone agrees (see page 2). ‘It means that the council will continue to manage, own and operate our water supply and sewerage services,’ said Mr Rayner. Th e inquiry, initiated by then Water Minister and now Premier, Nathan Rees, examined op- tions to improve the organisational structure of local water utilities to overcome supply short- ages during droughts. It found that the Tweed – along with just seven other councils in the state – should re- main as stand-alone utilities. The remainder would form alliances with neighbouring councils or operate under the Valerie Skinner, a Kingscliff retiree who started mountain climbing late in life, inches her way up the spectacular but treacherous Eiger in the umbrella of newly established water corpora- Swiss Alps last year.
