One-way Marine Parade for Kingscliff

Council is investigating a concept plan to upgrade Marine Parade in Kingscliff, from Turnock Street to Seaview Street, which includes making this section of road one-way for vehicles.

Council has developed a concept plan to:

• Make Marine Parade one-way for south-bound traffic.

• Provide additional car parking by utilising the reduced carriageway width.

• Realign the road to discourage speeding.

• Beautify the street with tree planting in the pedestrian walkways and islands.

Council has liaised with the Kingscliff business chamber and residents association to consider the proposal and, after receiving positive feedback from these organisations, is now seeking feedback from the broader community.

The concept plans are on public exhibition from Monday 21 May to Friday 22 June 2012 and community members are invited to provide input during this time.

Extensive community consultation in early 2011 to plan the proposed Kingscliff Central Park revealed Tweed Shire residents overwhelmingly believed there was a need to address a lack of car parking in Marine Parade. The current state of the Marine Parade streetscape was also identified as a major concern.

More recently, pedestrian safety and vehicle speed in the Kingscliff central business district have been raised as issues by the Kingscliff and District Chamber of Commerce (KDCC) and the Kingscliff Ratepayers and Progress Association (KRPA).
