Tweed, NSW pursues Industry Central Land Swap for businesses impacted by repeated flooding

Tweed, NSW Industry Central Land Swap Businesses Flooding

In Progress

South Murwillumbah businesses faced record flooding in 2017 and again in 2022. The council used a state grant to purchase 14 hectares of elevated land. Alder Constructions outfitted ten lots with water, sewer, telecommunications, and other infrastructure. Businesses impacted by flooding swap existing land for Industry Central allotments with move-in starting in 2023. The council will block industrial development on abandoned land in perpetuity after businesses remove existing structures.
