No Noise Complaints from Fingal Head have been recorded recently November 25 to January 26 and this means that no noise complaints have been registered to Fingal Head residents in well over 12 months.
Tweed Shire Council resolved in 2024 “that a Community Climate Action group be established to enable active community involvement from Tweed residents in responding to climate change and driving local climate change solutions
The Advisory Committee acts as the primary liaison between the project and the community, facilitating consultation and providing advice on operations, ensuring stakeholder input is considered in managing sand delivery and environmental impacts.
The 2024 Fingal Head Community Survey identified several projects that support the preservation of the unique character of Fingal Head. These projects have been organised to align with the six values strongly recognised by the community in both the 2019 and 2024 Fingal Head Community Surveys.
It is proposed to form Community Initiative Groups (CIGs) to focus on and implement these projects. If you are interested in any aspect of any of these projects, please consider joining one or more of these CIGs and expressing your interest by emailing fingalheadcpt@gmail.com or attending the FHCA General Meeting on November 19. The main agenda item for the meeting will be the formation of the Community Interest Groups (CIGS) to implement the various projects and all members of the community are welcome to attend.
This is your opportunity to contribute to your community and help ‘Keep Fingal Special.’

The FHCPT analysed and compiled the results of this 2024 Community Survey and provided the information to the TSC Strategic Planning Team. The Character Statement below was developed by TSC and presented to the Fingal Head community during two information sessions on 10th and 26th July. This document is included in the TSC Draft Development Control Plan and is now open for comment on the TSC ‘Your Say Tweed’ online platform until 3 December (see link below).
Since this was based on community input, please ensure you inform the Council that you support it.
