Background information

Council owns the land at 99 Elrond Drive where the Kingscliff temporary housing village has been set up. The NSW Reconstruction Authority (RA) lease this land from Council.

The Kingscliff temporary housing village currently provides a safe and secure home to people affected by the 2022 floods. The site has 31 self-contained housing units. Some residents are waiting for their homes to be rebuilt, while some need to find an affordable rental property.

The Reconstruction Authority has requested a 6-month extension to the Kingscliff temporary village lease to December 2025. This would provide additional time for the RA and Northern Rivers Housing (NRH) to support residents into long-term housing and to allow the decommissioning of the pods.
