Tweed Shire is about to get their first two fully-fenced off leash dog parks thanks to a recent $3.75 million in Federal Government grants being awarded.
A Tweed Shire Council spokesman said the funding would create two fenced off-leash dog parks in the Tweed at Bray Park and Banora Point.
“The parks will be functional, safe and enjoyable for dogs and their owners,” the spokesman said.
“The projects were identified by the community as a key priority in council’s adopted Open Space Strategy 2019-29.”
One park will be built at the John Baker Reserve on Darlington Drive Banora Point with separated areas for large and small dogs while a second large fenced area will be built at the Bray Park Reserve on Kyogle Road, Murwillumbah.

6th Apr 2021 10:00 AM | Updated: 12:44 PM A number of roads have been closed by Northern Rivers councils after recent rain and due to other reasons. The current list by MyRoadInfo includes:
Byron Shire Council: Council is not aware of any other roads that are closed, she added. As always - people should drive to the conditions and be aware that because the catchment is so wet, water rises quickly and can cause flash flooding in some areas. Closed 1. Norton Street, Ballina (between Fox and Bentinck Streets) - Access to this road is restricted due to a council approved event. 2. Dalwood Road @ Gum Creek Weir (Caution) WATER OVER ROAD - Proceed with Caution
