The Summerland Way Committee was formed in the early 60’s as a lobby
group for the sealing of the road between Grafton and Casino. After
that project was successfully completed the committee became
inactive but was reactivated in the late 70’s in a bid to improve
road conditions north of Kyogle and, ultimately, prove the real
economic value of the Summerland Way as an alternative transport
route and scenic drive between Coffs Harbour and Brisbane.
The objectives of the committee continues to be the promotion of the
Summerland Way as an alternative route to the Pacific Highway
between Coffs Harbour and Brisbane.

The President serves for two years with the position being rotated
between the member councils:
