Over $300 million will be invested to deliver essential worker housing, a mental health hospital, childcare and retail to support essential workers, a bus interchange, community hub, university campus, private hospital and medical suites and medihotel. It will create 1000 new local jobs, act as a catalyst to stimulate the local economy and address issues arising from the housing crisis, recent floods and the COVID border closures. The opportunity to connect health initiatives, education, community groups and lifestyle in a central precinct is an exciting one which holds enormous potential for the region. Pre-eminent health, education and community precinct
A community-focused precinct that will accelerate the Tweed’s self-sufficiency in health, education, employment & economic stability.
