Widening Tweed Coast Road

Council is designing the widening of Tweed Coast Road from Morton Street at Chinderah to Grand Parade at Casuarina to cater for forecast future population growth.

Tenders have been let for the next major construction project, Widening Tweed Coast Road sections 5 & 6 from the M1 roundabout at Chinderah through to the Cudgen Road intersection at Cudgen.

This segment of the entire Widening Tweed Coast Road project will also include:

• extending a new 600 mm diameter sewer rising main from the upgraded Cudgen Road intersection to provide sewerage capacity for Kings Forest
• replacing an existing 450 mm effluent main with a 600 mm effluent main
• provision of a new 375 mm water main
• the provisions for cyclists and pedestrians for Tweed Coast Road will be delivered as per the Austroads Design Guide. For the unkerbed sections of the road, 2.5 metre wide asphalt sealed shoulders are included for cyclists and pedestrians while kerbed sections will have a 2 metre wide shared concrete path.

Construction of a new entry road to the Kings Forest development has been completed.

Works that may disrupt traffic will be published on Council's Roadworks and closures page.

As part of the planning process for the Tweed Coast Road upgrade (sections 5 and 6), a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) have been completed to identify and manage potential impacts.
