IWC is working with Tweed Shire Council to develop and implement an EHMP in three phases. 

  • Phase 1 was an initial scoping study, completed in 2007.
  • Phase 2 is intended to be the first of two stages of implementation, investigations and reporting and focuses on the Cobaki and Terranora Broadwaters only.
