To provide these and other important services and to manage and maintain community facilities, Tweed Shire Council must raise sufficient funds. One of the ways in which Tweed Shire Council does this is through its statutory power to charge “council rates”. Whilst Tweed Shire Council receives money from other sources such as grants, fees, loans and contributions, a large portion of Councils funds comes from rates.
