A $38.9 million residential apartment project in Tweed Heads has been approved, clearing the way for a 13-storey building with in-fill affordable housing on Florence Street.
The State Significant Development consent allows demolition of existing buildings and construction of 59 apartments, including 12 affordable housing units to be managed by a community housing provider.
The approved scheme includes two basement levels for parking, with 71 car spaces and 116 bicycle spaces. The building has a gross floor area of 6,582.4 square metres on a 1,558 square metre site.
The approval also covers landscaping, public domain works, and upgrades to services and utilities. The project is expected to support 80 construction jobs.
