A proposed affordable living project in the Wardrop Valley was the centre a heated debate at Thursday night’s Tweed Shire Council meeting.
Driven by Councillor Ron Cooper, the concept is to develop an affordable rental living village on council-owned land on Wardrop Valley Rd, adjoining the Murwillumbah Industry Central Estate, about 5km to the southeast of the Murwillumbah town centre – at no expense to rate payers.
However, a recent review by the Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee found a number of flaws in the project – much of which sparked debate at the council meeting.
Key features of the report concluded that the Wardrop Community Village Project had been inadequately defined and proceeded through outside of the council’s standard planning processes.
