The Caldera Environment Centre encourages those who care about the conservation and recreational use of the Tweed River estuary to forward a submission in support of the Plan to Tweed Shire Council.
The Plan has introduced the concept of Character Zones in two locations, Stotts Island (high conservation significance) and upstream of the Commercial Road boat ramp Murwillumbah (high potential for restoration). These zones will restrict the use of powered craft for towing and wake boarding. Currently the whole of the estuary is open to use for these activities. Character Zones will only limit use in a small section of the Tweed River and will provide areas for passive recreation and conservation.
