Residents are invited to play a vital role in shaping the future of Tweed by joining one of Council's Advisory Committees for the upcoming term.
Expressions of Interest are now open for positions on four advisory committees, each offering residents the opportunity to provide valuable advice and recommendations to Council.
Suitably experienced community members are called for and appointed every 4 years, for the term of Council.
Mayor of Tweed Shire Chris Cherry emphasised the importance of these committees in Council's decision-making process.
"Councillors take the advice and recommendations from our Advisory Committees very seriously," she said.
"Committee members provide knowledge, skills and experience to help us make informed decisions that best serve the interests of the Tweed community.
Cr Cherry thanked the members who dedicated their time and expertise to serving on Council's Advisory Committees over the last term.
"We greatly appreciate the contributions of past committee members and now invite members to join us in shaping the community's future."
