Tweed Shire farmers can now apply for grants of up to $4,000 to trial sustainable farming practices that improve productivity and environmental protection. The Northern Rivers Times reports that the funding is designed to help growers adopt environmentally beneficial practices including creek fencing and cover cropping, according to The Echo.
During Local Government Week, Tweed residents are invited to participate in free behind-the-scenes tours and community events to learn about council services and operations. The Northern Rivers Times reports that these tours offer an opportunity for residents to understand how the local council functions and what services are available to the community.
New funding has put the Lennox-to-Byron cycle link back on the agenda, The Echo reports, suggesting movement toward improving cycling infrastructure between the two communities.
