Children and families in Tweed will have 2 fantastic new places to relax and play once the COVID-19 crisis passes, thanks to $100,000 in funding from the NSW Government.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said Tweed Shire Council was one of 30 successful councils to benefit from the latest round of funding from the Everyone Can Play initiative that helps create inclusive playgrounds across NSW.

“The funding will help deliver upgrades to the playgrounds at Banora Point and Tweed Heads West,” Mr Provest said.

“While our playgrounds are closed at the moment to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect our community, it’ll be important that everyone will get a chance to play once they re-open,” Mr Provest said.

“Inclusive playgrounds provide wonderful spaces for families and friends of all ages and abilities to play, relax and connect, and this funding will help make our community more inclusive than ever before.”
