Advisory Committee
The States of New South Wales and Queensland have acknowledged the importance of community input to the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypass Project [TRESBP] through its various stages of development and continuing operation. To ensure that such consultation is incorporated within the management framework the States initiated a range of measures including the formation of a TRESBP Advisory Committee.
The Advisory Committee role has its charter in the project’s Queensland and New South Wales legislation and has operated since 1994. The committee is the primary mechanism for communications between the TRESBP and the local community and stakeholders and provides advice on matters of relevance to the local community associated with ongoing operations and the consideration of feasibility studies into potential operational enhancements.
The Advisory Committee comprises two officers from each State nominated by the respective Minister, one representative each from Tweed Shire Council and The City of Gold Coast nominated by the respective Council and four community representatives (two from each state) nominated by the respective Minister.
