What do you love about the Hastings Point headland and how do you imagine it will look in the future?
Tweed Shire Council is seeking community feedback to inform a draft management plan to protect and enhance Hastings Point headland.
Hastings Point headland and the adjacent Cudgera Creek are beautiful natural environments loved by the local community and enjoyed by an increasing number of visitors each year.
The headland is a focal point for recreation, as well as being a diverse and sensitive ecosystem with high cultural values for traditional owners.
A management plan for the area will be designed to protect the natural environment and preserve the beauty and vitality of the area for generations to come.
The draft management plan will be informed by community feedback and consultation with local stakeholders including the Hastings Point Progress Association, Tweed Coast and Waterways Committee and Tweed’s Aboriginal Advisory Committee.
“We are committed to protecting environmental and cultural values and preserving the natural beauty of the Hastings Point headland,” Coastal Management Project Officer Jordan Vickers said.
“The management plan will document Council’s intention to safeguard the area’s unique ecosystem and ensure its values can continue to be enjoyed by future generations. We value the input of users of the headland and encourage the community to provide their feedback to inform this draft plan.
“We want to know what you love about the Hastings Point headland? What do you imagine Hastings Point headland will look like in the future with effective management? What could be done to improve your experience while visiting?” he said.
The project area includes the Hastings Point headland and carpark, Fig Tree Park, Cudgera Creek Park, the Cudgera Creek (downstream of the Tweed Coast Road Bridge), the rocky foreshore surrounding Hastings Point headland and the land from the carpark at Peninsula Street to the northern side of the creek mouth.
You can provide feedback by completing an online survey. The results will be used to inform the draft plan. An online mapping tool is also available to pinpoint specific areas for feedback.
