Fair Trading Minister Anthony Roberts will arrive in Tweed Heads tomorrow to begin a two day visit to the North Coast.

Over the two days, Mr Roberts will visit Tweed Heads, Ballina, Grafton and Coffs Harbour.

Mr Roberts said regional visits are an important part of his role as Fair Trading Minister, and he will meet with Fair Trading staff, residential park residents, cooperative workers and community organisations (itinerary below).

“Fair Trading serves an important role in our community and staying in touch with community needs ensures the Government delivers the best possible services to the people of NSW,” he said.

“I look forward to meeting with frontline Fair Trading staff at Tweed Heads, Grafton and Coffs Harbour, who work in crucial customer service, mediation and compliance
roles.”

The Minister will be joined by local members during his visits to Tweed Heads, Ballina and Coffs Harbour.

Mr Roberts said he would be visiting the Ballina Headlands Leisure Park to meet the owner and some of the residents.

“I will also visit the Northern NSW Aboriginal Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service (NATAAS) at Grafton and the Anglicare North Coast Financial Counselling Service at Coffs Harbour, both of which are funded by Fair Trading,” he said.

Minister Roberts will finish his trip in Coffs Harbour where he will visit the Coffs Harbour Fishermen’s Co-Operative, as they are an important part of the local economy, and visit staff at the Fair Trading Centre on Park Avenue.
