Council services
We work hard to make the Tweed a better place to live, work and play.
From managing our parks and gardens, to keeping our streets clean - Council provides more than 50 services.
These services are led by our Community Strategic Plan 2022-2032(PDF, 7MB) and are funded mostly by the rates you pay.
Read about how we plan and report to the community and our values, vision and mission.
For self-service options, including reporting a problem, head to our online services.
