Murwillumbah Civic Centre entrance upgrade

We are undertaking this project to improve the main entrance to the Murwillumbah Civic Centre, which serves the Tweed Shire Council library and customer services. This upgrade is designed to enhance the resilience of the car park against future floods, ensuring that access remains reliable and convenient for all visitors. The renovation includes installing durable asphalt surfacing, complemented by the planting of native trees to provide better shade and visual appeal. Additionally, we are adding new accessible parking spaces and connecting footpaths to facilitate easier access to the council facilities.

Project Schedule

Planning: Mid 2024
Construction: Mid 2025

What's involved

New asphalt entrance with line marking
New concrete pavement from the pedestrian crossing point to the library and civic centre entrance
Existing short-term parking spaces to remain
Kerb reconstruction at the end of the driveway (from the Civic and Cultural Centre)
Kerb ramp and connecting pathways
Minor drainage improvements

Why it’s happening

The Murwillumbah Civic Centre entrance sustained damage from the 2022 floods. To improve its resilience against future flooding, we are making minor drainage enhancements and resurfacing the internal access road and car park areas with asphalt.
