Tracey Knox – Richmond Valley meet your candidates

By Tim Howard

The Northern Rivers Times has asked all of the candidates for the September 14 local government elections to introduce themselves to voters identify the issues they want to address and policies they would pursue if elected.

A number of candidates did not meet the deadline for publication but are welcome to send in copy for coming editions of The Northern Rivers Times before the election date.

Tracey Knox

Tracey Knox.

Tracey has owned and run the Sunrise Caravan Park at Broadwater with her husband Craig,  and their family for over 30 years .  In her spare time she is a keen photographer, watercolour artist, soap maker, and enjoys crocheting and bushwalking.

Tracey has previously been involved with the Woodburn Wolves Football Club, being a treasurer for a 5-year period during the 25 years that her husband and children played football.

Tracey also played touch football at Evans Head for a period of approximately 15 years.

Tracey was actively involved, after the 2022 flood, with having the “Tinnie Memorial” placed in the Broadwater Community Park to honour the local Tinnie Hero’s.

The rebuilding of the Broadwater Public School was fully supported by the Knox family.

Tracey would like to see some major funding being spent on the Broadwater and Riley’s Hill communities, with her focus on the roads, fixing storm water drainage problems, building more footpaths and cycle ways and community beautification.

If riverside properties became available, due to Government buy backs, she would like to see that land be utilised as usable public space and parkland.

“Riley’s Hill boat ramp desperately needs an upgrade,” and a public jetty and tidal pontoon would be an asset for Riley’s Hill and Broadwater communities and tourists.

Tracey has supported our ticket for the last 12 years and has been our regular contact for the Broadwater Community and this year has decided to get involved to support a voice on Local Government for Broadwater and the surrounding areas.
