Petition To: The Mayor and Councillors of Clarence Valley Council

Subject of petition: YAMBA'S TREELANDS DRIVE COMMUNITY CENTRE (TDCC) - COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS  

Community expectations demand that the existing Treelands Drive Community Centre is not demolished – it should be expanded to include a library, commercial kitchen and carpark.

More background information here:

• Demolishing the existing 22-year-old TDCC is not a priority for the Yamba Community.
• Council’s cost estimate for Option A (to demolish the existing TDCC) is $14,548,183 requiring Council to take out a loan expending ratepayers’ money.
• Council’s estimate for Option B (to expand TDCC) is $8,000,000.
• The Bushfire Local Economic Recovery (BLER) Fund money ($11,107,882) will assist in achieving TDCC’s expansion.
• Council’s track record regarding expending ratepayers’ money in recent years is questionable. 
• The date to utilise the BLER funding has been extended to June 2025.

ACTION REQUESTED: 

We, the undersigned, request the Mayor and Councillors of Clarence Valley ensure:

1. The expansion of the existing TDCC to at least include a library, commercial kitchen, and carpark.
2. Council undertakes community consultation for Option B inviting residents to group gatherings and exhibitions.
3. Residents’ suggestions for the expansion are fully considered in consultation with residents.
