TWEED MP Geoff Provest has met NSW Environment Minister Robyn Parker to discuss funding to fix the erosion at Kingscliff.

Mr Provest told The Daily News he went “into a high-level meeting with council, the environment minister and Crown Lands” on Tuesday afternoon.

Tweed Shire Council said it would need between $400,000 and $500,000 for short-term works with up to $8 million needed long-term.

It has allocated $3 million in its seven-year plan.

Ms Parker's office confirmed on Monday that Kingscliff was not eligible for natural disaster funding from the NSW State Government as “gradual coastal erosion” was not deemed a natural disaster event.

Tweed Shire Council director of community and natural resources, David Oxenham, said neither the council nor the government had a “clear picture under which funding programs the erosion event at Kingscliff qualifies”.

Mr Provest said the talks on Tuesday “explored possible funding options”, but where the money would come from was not clear.

He explained there were 16 different “hot spots” on the NSW coast suffering erosion.

“Of course we want to wrap this up quickly because a big tide could come and wash even more away,” Mr Provest said.

He said he wanted to see “a clear direction in the next two weeks”.

The options Mr Provest, Tweed Shire Council and Crown Lands were looking at to fix the erosion involved both temporary and long-term measures.

Today from 3pm an extraordinary general meeting of the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserve Trust has been called at Cudgen Headland SLSC to discuss the erosion situation.
