Tenterfield Shire Council wins statewide Crown Land Award
Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin has congratulated Tenterfield Shire Council for winning the Council Crown Land Management Excellence Award at the 2023 Community Achievements Awards held in Sydney over the weekend.
Tenterfield Shire Council won the award for the transformation of its two-hectare Power House Reserve into a dynamic Youth Precinct.
Ms Saffin commended Tenterfield Shire Council for its visionary decision to build an outdoor recreational, social and cultural space that everyone can enjoy, especially the young people.
“Tenterfield Shire Council has listened to its youth and created a precinct with exciting activities to encourage people to go outside and build social connections that can last a lifetime.
“The new outdoor space which opened earlier this year has a vast array of exciting activities, including a skatepark, mountain bike skills track, a yarning circle and accessible pathways.
“The precinct is nestled in the heart of Tenterfield, and it has not only enlivened the town’s spirit but also fostered a greater sense of identity and community
“I congratulate the Council for taking out this prestigious statewide award and for its hard work in bringing this outdoor space to life.
“I know Mayor Bronwyn Petrie is thrilled with the result, because she texted me on Saturday night: We Won!
The NSW Government through Crown Lands sponsored the Council Crown Land Management Excellence Award which recognises outstanding contributions by local councils in managing Crown land reserves for their communities.
Minister for Lands and Property, Steve Kamper, said Tenterfield Shire Council has led the way in turning Crown reserve into a fun and thriving entertainment hub that has something for everyone.
“This project took a lot of hard work and extensive community collaboration, resulting in an incredible, dynamic space that will help Tenterfield’s community thrive and grow for many years to come. I congratulate Tenterfield Shire Council and the other finalists for their commitment to their communities.”
