Some will be overjoyed and others will see red as Tweed Council announces today that vegetation clearing along the Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek rail corridor is due to start next Monday (11 January 2021). Council says the final funds needed to design and build the Tweed section of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail have been secured. NSW Treasury signed a deed providing $7.8 million towards the Tweed section of the rail trail on 17 December 2020, returning it to Tweed Shire Council just before Christmas. With the Australian Government executing a funding deed for $6.5 million in 2018 under its Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Package Fund, Council now has $14.3 million to complete the Tweed section of the rail trail. It also has secured a further $600,000 from the NSW Government to cover the cost of promoting, operating and embellishing the Tweed section for the first three years.
