About Summary
The Growing Agriculture in the Tweed project is an initiative of the Tweed Valley Productive Land Use Working Group (TVPLUWG). The Working Group was established by the Tweed Valley Hospital Cross-Agency Coordination Working Group to identify and promote agriculture and food development opportunities in association with the new Tweed Valley hospital, and to facilitate agricultural opportunities throughout the broader Tweed LGA. Specifically, TVPLWG is identifying, developing and coordinating the implementation of agricultural industry development and sustainable regional productive land use growth opportunities.
