Tweed Shire Council Rural Land Strategy Stage 2 Tweed Shire Council Rural Land Strategy Tender # EQ2012-197 Stage 2 - Issues Analysis Final Report: Stage 2 January 2014 Tweed Shire Council: Rural Land Strategy: Stage 2 Issues Paper (Final) Explanation This document analyses issues raised and considered during Stages 1 and 2 of the Tweed Shire Rural Land Strategy. The document needs to be read in conjunction with the Stage 1 report for the project, titled Tweed Shire Rural Land Strategy Resource Inventory and Land Capability Assessment prepared for the Tweed Council by Urban Enterprise Pty Ltd and EnPlan Partners. The two documents collectively information required by the project as a basis for completion of Stages 3 and 4 of the Tweed Shire Rural Land Strategy . EnPlan Australia Pty Ltd has prepared this document, based on consideration of a large amount of information provided by the Council, and accessed by the Project Team from other sources. The document takes into account and considers the consultation feedback accrued during the project. The project relates to the privately owned rural lands of the Tweed Shire. It does not include consideration of public lands in the Shire. The above-mentioned Tweed Shire Rural Land Strategy Resource Inventory and Land Capability Assessment identifies relevant reference material used during Stages 1 and 2 of the project. While effort has been made to identify all main material used, there has been a ‘bottomless pit’ of information accessed by the Project Team in the preparation of documents for Stages 1 and 2 of the Project, and professional judgements have been required on where to draw the ‘bottom line’. However the Project Team is confident that all relevant information available and known to it that enables the preparation of a well-considered Rural Land Strategy for the Tweed Shire has been accessed and considered. Many conflicting views have been expressed, and there is a strong body of state and local legislation, policy, and strategic content that is identified in the accompanying Tweed Shire Rural Land Strategy Resource Inventory and Land Capability Assessment report, and considered during the preparation of this document. Strong effort has been made to consider all of the often conflicting community and agency feedback that has been received, particularly regarding matters relating to rural subdivision, appropriate rural lot sizes, the number of dwellings on lots, the use and management of rural land, and potentials for the Shire associated with different land uses. Any opinions expressed in this document are those of the authors and cannot be inferred to represent the opinions of the Tweed Shire Council. Readers should take appropriate advice regarding the suitability of the information in this document for their own needs. While considerable effort has been devoted to accuracy in this document based on information available to the project team, EnPlan Australia Pty Ltd does not accept responsibility for its use or interpretations by parties other than EnPlan, or for uses other than those for which the report has been prepared.

Document clearance This document is cleared as follows: Person Position Document # Date Graeme David Director, EnPlan Partners EP140115TSC 15 January 2014 Signed: Director EnPlan Australia Pty Ltd Email: [email protected] For and on behalf of EnPlan Partners Web: www.enplan.com.au Date: 15 January 2014 Distribution: Tweed Shire Acknowledgement The Tweed Shire covers traditional lands of the Bundjalung Aboriginal Nation, which extends from the Logan River in Queensland in the north to as far south as the Clarence River. This land and its waterways, together with its diverse plants and animals, sustained all facets of Aboriginal life and culture by providing food and medicine and a focus for recreational, ceremonial, and spiritual activity. The traditional lands are also associated with the dreaming stories and cultural learning that is still passed on today.

    CANfflS1!flA 1UfrllWALKliMG CLUIBS INC. NIEWflIETTIEIQ ITPA Box 160, Canberra, R.C.T. 2601 Registered by Australia Post; Publication number NBF1 1859 VOLUME 25 MARCH 1988 NUMBER 3 President's Pnttle At the last committee meeting members raised concerns about the level of awareness of first aid when bushwalking. On a recent day walk to Ettrema, one participant received a minor injury which required a number of party members to delve into their packs for various antiseptic creams, bandages etc. While there is an expectation that all who participate on Club walks Cand on any other trips for that matter) carry their own first aid requirements, it is often the case that items must be provided by others, often the walk leader. Whilst the odd band-aid causes little financial strain, items such as pressure bandages for sprains etc. are quite expensive to replace. Thus, the committee believes that where people have had to assist others on Club walks by using such relatively expensive first aid consumables, the Club should reimburse that person the replacement cost. On a related matter we are hoping to provide interested Club members with the opportunity to attend a St. John's Ambulance first aid course. By doing so as a group, it should be possible to concentrate on those first aid matters of particular relevance to bushwalking. Details will be published in later ITs when arrangements and costs have been established. Greg Ellis Concerning Conservation you will now all be aware of the new parks proposed by the Unsworth Government for the Eden area.

  • TUGUN BYPASS Environmental Impact Statement
    TUGUN BYPASS Environmental Impact Statement Part E – Impacts of the proposed Tugun Bypass on the socioeconomic environment TUGUN BYPASS Environmental Impact Statement 12. Land use, planning and transport 12.1 Introduction The relationship between available transport systems and the development of land has been recognised for many years. The introduction of new transport infrastructure can stimulate the development of adjacent rural land for more intensive uses and, at the same time, the development of land will generate a demand for movement. Where land has been reserved for a future road for many years, adjacent uses will often anticipate its implementation. The process of traffic modelling, which seeks to identify the anticipated effects of building a major new link in the road network, depends on an understanding that the movement generated by future land uses requires accommodation by the available infrastructure. This process is tempered by the application of planning and transport policies. The following two chapters address these issues. Chapter 12 deals with land use issues and transport in general following the opening of the bypass. Chapter 13 focuses on potential impacts on the community, including effects resulting from the re-distribution of traffic to the proposed bypass and those occurring as a direct consequence of the introduction of major infrastructure to the area. Other impacts, such as noise, air quality and visual effects, collectively influence the amenity of residents and business occupants who would be affected by the new road. The impacts of the individual environmental effects are described in detail in Chapters 9, 14 and 16, and in Technical Papers 10, 11 and 13.
