Consultation has concluded


Expression of interest (EOI) was open from 26 November 2018 to 25 January 2019. We are currently reviewing and processing submissions.

Tweed Shire Council has settled on 14.02 hectares of land as part of an unprecedented move to mitigate against climate change and create resilience for local businesses and the broader economy. The $3 million land purchase was funded by the NSW State Government.

This initiative will enable eligible land owners that were directly impacted by the 2017 flood in northern NSW to enter an expression of interest process and, if successful, swap their flood prone land with Council-owned flood free land at Industry Central, Murwillumbah.

Council has also made application for funding from the NSW Government's growing local economies fund to provide essential public infrastructure and to undertake subdivision of the land.
