Tweed Shire Council says Old Lismore Road will be upgraded to improve safety and restore local rainforest habitat.

Some of Byron Bay’s most photographed residents are getting a little more room to move, with more than 2,000 trees planted to create new habitat for koalas living around The Pass.

Ballina Shire Council, GeoLINK and Rous Council are inviting the community to roll up their sleeves and help restore the iconic Lennox Headland, at the 21st Lennox Head Community Tree Planting Day on Friday 5 June.

Tweed residents are invited to roll up their sleeves and make a lasting environmental impact at Tweed Shire Council's annual National Tree Day community planting event on Sunday 27 July.

Bangalow Koalas is proud to announce a community tree planting on Friday 30 May at East Coraki, as part of their ambitious '500,000 Reasons for Hope' project.

Our property lies on the floodplain at Swan Bay. Over 30 hectares (75 acres) of trees were planted in July last year. This was a WWF and Carbon Friendly project with some of the planted species being for koala habitat.

This week, Bangalow Koalas reached a remarkable milestone. They have planted their 400,000th tree since 2019. That equates to roughly 360 hectares across six shires in the Northern Rivers of NSW.

Richmond Valley Council adopted its first Sustainable Communities Strategy in March 2023, marking a pivotal moment in Council’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

Tweed Shire Council is committed to a sustainable future and working with the community to protect the region’s internationally significant environment. 

This year celebrated the 19th year of the annual Lennox Head tree planting day along the iconic Lennox Headland that took place on May 10.
