Geoff Provest – 100% for Tweed
As an MP, Geoff is focused on the needs of his local community and, in Parliament, stands 100% by the Tweed.
He is a strong champion for local issues, delivering record police numbers, and ensuring our kids have access to the best facilities with multi-million dollar upgrades to Tweed River High School, Tweed Heads South Public School, Kingscliff High School and Kingscliff Public School.
Geoff is a strong advocate for health, having secured record funding for the delivery of the new $723.3 million dollar Tweed Valley Hospital, the largest ever health infrastructure project built outside of Sydney.
Emergency services have seen significant investment with the delivery of the new Tweed Byron Police Command, a new Ambulance Station for Pottsville and Kingscliff, and a brand new $4.7 million dollar Fire Station in Kingscliff.
The Tweed’s sporting organisations are seeing record funding assist their teams, grounds and supporters.
Surf Life Saving clubs across the Tweed have received significant investment to strengthen the essential services they provide to our community.
Our surf lifesavers do an incredible job keeping our beaches safe. Their dedication, professionalism, and commitment deserve to be backed by high-quality facilities that enable them to continue their vital work every day.
Our wildlife are also very well supported with the construction of the Tweed’s first ever Koala Rehabilitation Centre at Pottsville. Geoff was instrumental in ensuring a 73.5ha parcel of land outside Cabarita Beach was purchased by the NSW Government to add to the Cudgen Nature Reserve. Cudgen Nature Reserve is part of the largest remaining native vegetation on the Tweed Coast and is home to an exceptionally high diversity of native animal and plant species.
In addition to koalas, the reserve is home a number of threatened and endangered animal species, including the long-nosed potoroo, the glossy black cockatoo and the little bent-wing bat.
The Tweed is a fantastic place to live, and we’re fortunate to enjoy everything it has to offer—from beautiful beaches and award-winning restaurants to an abundance of parks and playgrounds for people of all ages to enjoy.
