Developments signify investment for the future
07 July 2023
Tweed Mall, in the heart of the Tweed Heads CBD, has served as an important shopping centre for its customers for decades and is now ready to evolve into a vibrant, mixed-use town centre.
Elanor Investors Group has been planning the property’s evolution since acquiring the centre in 2016.
The concept Masterplan reflects Elanor’s long-term vision to evolve the site into a sustainable mixed-use town centre, responding to the region’s need for dwellings and changing consumer preferences to live, work and play.
The contemporary renovation of this important site will further invigorate the emergence of Tweed Heads as a leading regional city and will contribute significantly with reframing the city’s image.
Located near the gateway to Tweed Heads on the edge of Jack Evans Boat Harbour, the proposed new town centre will deliver an international standard of everyday retail, food and beverage, commercial, entertainment, tourism and residential usages.
It is estimated that the proposed new town centre will create an estimated 500 plus construction jobs each year, delivered in stages over a 10-year period.
Upon completion the precinct will provide 1,371 much needed additional dwellings and support an estimated 3,000 plus ongoing jobs.
As an identified key site within the Tweed City Centre Local Environmental Plan 2012, Council has been working closely with the Tweed Mall owners and NSW Government Architects to devise a design excellence process to ensure the Tweed gets the best possible outcome over this strategically important site.
The process to date has included the formation of a panel of independent design experts who provided advice throughout the early design stages of the project, which has directly informed the concept development application currently under assessment.
The concept DA can viewed and commented on at Council's DA Tracker page.
Stone & Wood eyes expansion
Brewer Stone & Wood is eying of an expansion of their current operations thanks to the purchase of their current site at Kite Crescent at South Murwillumbah.
The brewer, whose parent company is Lion Australia, has been operating from the South Murwillumbah site for almost 10 years and is the main production operation for Stone & Wood which also has a smaller brewery at Byron Bay and a bar in Brisbane.
Stone & Wood is proposing in future expansion plans to include a tasting room, beer garden and production and sustainable upgrades to the brewery.
