TWEED Shire councillors are today due to vote on a plan to demolish two Murwillumbah toilet blocks and decommission another three across the shire after initially considering closing 15 public loos.

The initial plan prompted a save-the-toilets campaign by local architect and co-ordinator of the Caldera Environment Centre Hop'e Hopkins and comments by Mayor Kevin Skinner that some public toilets were unsafe for children.

A report to the councillors, to be considered at today's meeting, recommends the demolition of toilet blocks on the riverbank in McIllwrath Park, near the Murwillumbah Services Club, and in Buckley Park, on the corner of Prospero St and the Tweed Valley Way near the old railway station at South Murwillumbah.

The report also recommends decommissioning the Queen St toilets near the town clock in the heart of Murwillumbah, Razorback Lookout toilets and Wommin Lake toilets.

A new toilet block is to be built on the riverbank near the council headquarters.

Another issue due to be considered by councillors is a review of the Bogangar/Cabarita Beach development control plan, which the Cabarita Beach/Bogangar Residents' Association says is vital.

Spokesman Ashley Baldry said the current plan was five years old and contained a number of inconsistencies and shortcomings, including reduced residential building-height limits throughout the village with the odd exception of one proposed housing estate.
