Meeting notice
The community will be able to have its say at a public meeting on the Uniting Kingscliff Seniors Housing Redevelopment, a State significant development application (SSD-47105958) by Uniting NSW.ACT. The application seeks approval for a 120 bed residential aged care facility, 199 independent living units, ancillary amenities and landscaping. The proposed development between Kingscliff St and Lorien Way is expected to create up to 260 construction and 51 additional operational jobs.
The Independent Planning Commission is the consent authority for the application because the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure received at least 50 unique submissions objecting to the proposal.
Commissioners Janett Milligan (Chair) and Richard Pearson have been appointed to determine the development application.
The key issues identified in the Department’s whole-of-government assessment of the development application include built form and design, flooding and stormwater, amenity, traffic and parking.
The Commission has access to all previous written submissions made to the Department on this proposed development; however, it is particularly helpful for the Commission Panel to also hear the community’s views on the Department’s Assessment Report, which can be found on the Commission’s website.
A public meeting on the Uniting Kingscliff Seniors Housing Redevelopment will be held at the Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre located at Cnr Brett St and, Wharf St, Tweed Heads NSW 2485 on Tuesday 28 October 2025, from 4:00pm–8:00pm AEST. If all speaker spots are filled for this date, the public meeting can be extended to the morning of Wednesday 29 October, starting at 9:00am. The public meeting is scheduled over these two half-days due to the limited availability of local venues in the surrounding area.
Anyone wishing to present at the public meeting must pre-register on the Commission’s website using the Speaker Registration Form. The deadline for speaker registrations is 12:00 noon AEDT on Monday 20 October 2025.
The Commission is also inviting the public to make written submissions which can be lodged via the ‘Make a Submission’ portal on the Commission’s website. The Commission will also accept submissions made via post or email.
Written submissions will be accepted until 12:00 noon AEDT on Monday 3 November 2025.
Please note
The public meeting will be livestreamed on the Commission’s YouTube channel. Registered speakers will be asked to nominate their preference for presenting at the Public Meeting either in-person at the venue or by dialing in by telephone. Please note that if the demand for either in-person or virtual attendance is low, the Commission may opt to conduct the meeting either entirely virtually or entirely in person. Similarly, if demand for speaker timeslots is high and becomes fully booked, the Commission will endeavour to schedule a third day as a virtual meeting over Zoom. If either of these scenarios occur, this will be fully communicated to all registered speakers in advance, including how the Commission can assist people to attend the meeting virtually. These flexible arrangements ensure as many people as possible have the opportunity to be heard, while also making best use of public resources.

I object to the proposed development on the following grounds: 1. FLOOD RISK - this large scale development is proposed on flood prone land. Approval of this development will have a major impact on neighbouring properties during times of heavy rain with the possibility of the surrounding area being reclassified as flood prone by insurance companies. This in turn will leave many homeowners unable to afford insurance for their home. There is also a substantial safety issue during times of flooding particularly affecting the elderly residents in the surrounding area. 2. SIZE & DENSITY - This proposed overdevelopment comprising 199 apartments and multiple buildings replaces open space and low rise homes destroying the village atmosphere and massively increasing local traffic. The proposed building height contravenes the zoning limit under the Tweed LEP. 3. TRAFFIC - The developers continue to state that the entrance to this development will be on Kingscliff St however this is incorrect. The development plan clearly shows the main entrance for the construction period and upon completion is on Lorien Way. Lorien Way is already a busy road with cars parked on both sides of the roadway at times leaving no room for 2 cars to pass safely. The street is also a local bus route with buses travelling the street in both directions every 30 minutes in addition to school buses during the day. The addition of construction traffic on an existing busy roadway competing with local traffic is a serious safety issue. When you add school children entering/exiting buses along the route it's a recipe for disaster. Where will the construction workers park during the proposed 2 year construction ? In neighbouring streets impacting local residents with additional safety, traffic and noise issues ? CHARACTER IMPACT - Development of this scale is not in keeping with the coastal village atmosphere which has attracted many residents and visitors to the area. This proposed development is a gross overdevelopment for the area and will massively impact the local community in a negative way. |

I feel the height of this proposed development goes completely against the amenity of the area and the amenity of the town. This development is not being built on the outer areas of the town it is proposed smack bang in the middle of it. No other building in the town itself has these height limits that are proposed. It would look like a complete monstrosity and take away from the overall look of the town. The proposal plans to build up the site at least 1metre above the existing ground level which in turn would turn the local area around this where i live into a flood plain. The building overall site also encompasses a flood plain that fills with water during heavy rain which stops the local houses being flooded. If they are allowed to build here then this area of Kingscliff goes underwater regardless of the plans they say will mitigate this potential disaster. They have not explained fully how this would be avoided which means it wouldn't. Lastly if this proposal is allowed to go ahead who do i sue when the houses around it flood due to this potential disaster, the builder, Uniting or the state government? |

Gross overdevelopment of aboriginal and indigenous land, have the proposed developers even visited the site let alone our beautiful community, this space holds many endangered wild life species such as frogs and birds which are vital to the ecosystem building here will directly impact the sustainability of local species and also impact the run off of water into the below estuary, I completely object the proposed development just like the council and SES |

The idea of building a multi storey building for aged care and over 55 living is absurd and dangerous. In any fire the elevators are turned off. Evacuating elderly people down steps is a recipe for disaster. Even healthy 55 year Olds have a high incidence of joint replacement surgery. One person on a stairwell who is a Newby on crutches can severely slow an evacuation which could cause numerous deaths. The planning makes no sense for seniors except for a money grab by the developer. Kingscliff prides itself by keeping our height limit under control, why this should be broken solely for an organisation to make a profit is appalling. Any person who permits this potential disaster should be held accountable for any future events. |

I am writing to strongly object to the proposed development at the Uniting Church site in Kingscliff. This project raises serious concerns about traffic congestion, inadequate parking, increased flood risk, and environmental impacts. Kingscliff’s roads and parking are already under significant pressure, and this development would worsen these issues. The area is also prone to flooding; with the proposed plan and additional hard surfaces there is a high risk of further issues affecting flooding, drainage and safety problems. The potential impact on local vegetation, wildlife, and the town’s coastal character is unacceptable. I urge this development be rejected in its current form and ensure any future plans genuinely protect the safety, environment, and wellbeing of our community. |

Hi team, I have already lodged an objection to the project . • Its way too biga project for the space available . • Safety a huge issue as entrance is at a round about • Drainage issues in the area. • Insufficient parking allocated • Area floods as low lying. • Almost no increase on numbers for poor people- only good for people with money who can pay! • Seems a money-making venture only. • How does this help the community ? From Me it’s a NO. Regards E Kritzler WITHOUT PREJUDICE |

I oppose the development exceeding the local height limit of 13.6m because local residents and council have fought hard to maintain our coastal village, limit overpopulation and overuse of finite infrastructure, and most importantly to not become a high-rise town. I oppose the development filling in any flood plain land because in Feb 2022 Beach Street, a number of other surrounding streets, key access roads and key facilities, shops and businesses flooded. Filling in our flood plain can only make this worse. I would also point out that in Feb 2022 the drainage system in and around Beach Street and Lorien Way categorically failed, with flood water rising up out of the drains to flood our streets. I oppose the filling or raising of any land in this area for the same reasons - you are just going to make the rest of us flood at the next natural disaster. I repeat my previous question - if this filling of flood plains or raising of existing lands occurs, who do we sue when our homes and businesses flood? |

I fully support the proposed redevelopment at Kingscliff Uniting. Quality aged care is a must for the future. Delivering 120 residential aged care places and 199 independent living units will cater for diverse care needs and bring independence to the residents. I urge the Independent Planning Commission to approve this development thus modernising aged care infrastucture as well as strengthening the social fabric of the Tweed region. The 'Common Good" for all must be above the vocal minority. |

Hi I have worked at the Kingscliff aged care facility since 2003 first with Bluecare and since 2016 with Uniting. In that time the staff and organisation have endeavoured to provide a quality service looking after the most vulnerable. The building was due for a revamp when I joined. The redevelopment was never acted on and now the building is not fit for purpose. Allowing this redevelopment would improve the amenity and safety of the residents. It has operated as an aged care facility for decades. The redevelopment aims to bring the standards up to present day. |

This is a sound plan for the future of our people in our north coast communities. The concepts for aligning Independent Living options with modern and quality driven aged care for the most frail, are in line with the recommendations for the future of aged care. This wonderfully designed proposed community living for our elders shows true respect for our elders and enhances the community living that has been spoken about for years. Elders staying at home longer can be achieved with this development concept. This is truly putting our community members and elders' thoughts into action and responds to the Aged Care Commission recommendations for the future of aged care. I urge the Independent Planning Commission to approve this development project. It will be a flag ship for the Tweed Coast community and influence the standard for future designs of similar projects in other communities. The development project alone will create so many opportunities for not just future accommodation, but will bring employment opportunities through the construction process as well as the future career opportunities for people working in the industry of aged care and Independent Living. This project ticks all the boxes! |

Support Statement for the Uniting Kingscliff Seniors Housing Redevelopment I’d like to share my strong support for the Uniting Kingscliff Seniors Housing Redevelopment. As someone who cares deeply about quality aged care and community wellbeing, I see this project as a wonderful step forward for older people on the Far North Coast. This redevelopment isn’t just about new buildings — it’s about creating a place where our elderly can live well, stay active, and feel part of a caring community. It will include modern aged care places, independent living units, and a wellness centre with a pool, gym, cinema, and health services — all designed to support physical, emotional, and social wellbeing. Something which I believe every older person is entitled to. Importantly, it also includes affordable housing options and will bring hundreds of local jobs, boosting the local economy, creating a space where everyone belongs. What stands out to me is how this plan truly reflects respect and dignity for older Australians. The thoughtful design, gardens, and village-style layout will help people stay connected and enjoy a real sense of belonging. It would be wonderful for our elderly to have access to these types of resources during the final chapters of their journey. I strongly encourage the Independent Planning Commission to approve this development. It’s a meaningful investment in our seniors and in the future of the Tweed community. |

Support for the Uniting Kingscliff Seniors Housing Redevelopment As a committed advocate for high-quality aged care and community wellbeing, I strongly endorse the proposed redevelopment of Uniting Kingscliff. This forward-thinking initiative represents a crucial investment in the future of seniors living on the Far North Coast, directly addressing the increasing need for modern, inclusive, and supportive environments for older Australians. The redevelopment will deliver: 120 residential aged care places and 199 independent living units, thoughtfully designed to accommodate a range of care needs while promoting autonomy and dignity. A dedicated seniors wellness centre, featuring a pool, gym, cinema, and allied health services, to support holistic health and wellbeing. Affordable housing options, ensuring accessibility for a broader cross-section of the community. Significant economic benefits, including the creation of over 260 construction jobs, boosting local employment and contributing to regional economic growth. Importantly, this project aligns with the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, ensuring that residents receive care in a safe, respectful, and enriching environment. The village-style layout, community gardens, and thoughtful design will foster a vibrant, connected community that enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. I respectfully urge the Independent Planning Commission to approve this redevelopment. It will not only modernise aged care infrastructure but also strengthen the social fabric of the Tweed region for generations to come. |

Uniting Kingscliff has been providing aged care since 1984 to some of the most vulnerable members of the local community, long before all of the neighbours who made the choice to buy a home close to the facility. The current facility is not fit for purpose, and a new building is badly needed to ensure the current and pending residents are able to live their best lives. The Independent Living Units that will be built will help free up family homes that are desperately needed in all areas. Please do not let the NIMBY mind set of a tiny percentage of the community stop a much-needed development. |

Importantly, this project aligns with the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, ensuring that residents receive care in a safe, dignified, and enriching environment. The thoughtful design, community gardens, and village-style layout will help create a vibrant, connected community that enhances the lives of residents and visitors alike. I urge the Independent Planning Commission to approve this development, which will not only modernise aged care infrastructure but also strengthen the social fabric of the Tweed region for generations to come. |

I strongly support the building of the new aged care centre. This development is an important step towards providing older members of our community with the quality care, comfort, and respect they deserve. A modern facility like this will not only create a safe and welcoming home for residents but also offer meaningful employment opportunities and strengthen local connections. Our seniors have given so much to our community — they deserve the very best in return. I fully support this project and look forward to seeing it become a valued part of our local area. |

I support the development proposal, it’s time aged care providers built purpose built state of the art aged care facilities to ensure our older people have their needs and preferences met. This will be in line with the new strengthened aged care standards and provide premium quality care and services. I am hoping this development will be approved and lead the way for additional high quality aged care facilities to be developed in the future |

Every member of any community deserves to age with dignity, support and connection. By prioritising aged care we not only improve the lives of older Australians but also strengthen our community as a whole. We need to work together to advocate for meaningful improvements in aged care within our community. The approval of this new development will free up our local hospital beds, support spouses who are also elderly and no longer coping with day to day care of their loved ones, provide more jobs within Kingscliff as well as long term stability for all aged care workers. I personally feel it is not until you or your family are affected by the shortages of available aged care beds that there is real understanding to the many positive outcomes this redevelopment has and this for me far outways any negative submission. Let's move forward in supporting our elderly and aged care as one day we all may be in need like so many other desperate consumers. |

As a strong advocate for quality care being provided to the elderly I fully support the redevelopment of Uniting Kingscliff. The building in its current state is not up to the standard that the residents deserve. The majority of residents residing at Uniting have been long term residents of Kingscliff themselves and they deserve to have up to date amenities and to enjoy the last years of their life in comfort. This project aligns with the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety and the thoughtful design, community gardens, and village-style layout will help create a vibrant, connected community that enhances the lives of residents and visitors alike. |

Support Statement for the Uniting Kingscliff Seniors Housing Redevelopment I strongly advocate for quality aged care and community wellbeing, I fully support the proposed redevelopment of Uniting Kingscliff. This project represents a vital investment in the future of seniors living on the Far North Coast, and providing much needed support services for our elderly community. Uniting are an inclusive, supportive and highly respected organisation that advocate for the benefits of our Senior population. The redevelopment will deliver: 120 residential aged care places and 199 independent living units, designed to meet diverse care needs and promote independence. A seniors wellness centre, including a pool, gym, cinema, and allied health services, fostering holistic wellbeing. Affordable housing options, ensuring accessibility for a broader range of community members. Uniting will be contributing to local employment and economic growth. Also of importance, this project aligns with recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, ensuring that residents receive care in a safe, dignified, and enriching environment. I urge the Independent Planning Commission to approve this development, which will not only modernise aged care infrastructure but continue to provide a safe, modern environment for our most vunerable members of society to be able to live their life in a 'home' that will encourage socialisation, community and I envisage many happy faces enjoying their daily lives with continual support from the wonderful staff at Uniting Kingscliff. |

I would like to register my support for this development. We have a shortage of purpose built accomodation for seniors which leads to people staying longer in homes which are not suitable which in turn means housing stock is not available for families which ultimately drives up house prices. As a community we need to increase housing stock and I support this development. The people against this are being totally NIMBY. |
