| Seaside's Creekside Precinct Comes to Life |
|
Work is underway at the Tweed Coast's Seaside community to deliver a raft of new infrastructure bordering Cudgen Creek, including a new pathway which will connect with the neighbouring development at Salt. Tradesmen on site have just started pouring concrete for Seaside's creekside pathway, which will span 750 metres and will meet the northern boundary of Casuarina Beach and the existing pathway at Salt. A viewing platform, an on-site cark park and landscaping are also part of the plan to create a vibrant precinct surrounding the development's first 24 home sites, situated just 300 metres from the ocean and at the doorstep to Cudgen Creek. Seaside project director Ron Barclay says the construction team is working hard to have the new infrastructure and amenities completed in tandem with the land settlements, which will commence in October. "Our creekside precinct is really starting to take shape now – our home sites have been elevated and levelled to emphasise the spectacular views of the creek and Mount Warning," Mr Barclay said. "The framework for a new cycleway is also in place, which means buyers will be able to step out of their home and enjoy a walk or ride along the creek between Seaside and Salt. "The path also connects to the boundary of Casuarina Beach, so people living by the creek will eventually have a convenient access to the new Casuarina Town Centre once it is completed." Mr Barclay says construction on the creekside precinct follows recent work on Seaside's anticipated beachfront boardwalk, which is the final link in the Tweed's coastal cycleway network, extending more than 10km from Pottsville through to Kingscliff. "The great thing about Seaside is that the masterplan really makes the most of the development's location between the coast and the creek," Mr Barclay said. "As well as providing pathways along both the eastern and western boundaries of the site, Seaside will also feature five passages running north to south which will connect the creek directly to the beach, so people can travel from one to the other in minutes without any interruption. "This makes it easy to appreciate the lifestyle we have here on the Tweed Coast – residents can swim, or go for a ride on the path along the creek and then walk 300 metres down the road to catch a wave. "These road, cycle and walkway networks will allow people to move around Seaside, and neighbouring areas, without using the car, which will be great for the environment. "Where possible we ensure that we minimise our impact on the environment – some roads and both of our new pathways will be curvilinear, meaning they are built to match the topography of the land, weaving in and out of the natural tree line." Mr Barclay said both the beachfront boardwalk and creekside pathway were expected to be open to the public within the next few months. "We need to install lighting and complete landscaping along the beachfront boardwalk before we can officially open it, in the interest of public safety," he said. "We hope to see construction on the first homes at Seaside starting around November, and we aim to have both our creekside and beachside pathways open by late October." A tremendous choice of Creekside waterfront home sites and house and land packages remain available.

Seaside is being developed at the heart of the popular $4 billion New Tweed Coast residential and resort strip, located just 15 minutes south of Gold Coast Airport and within easy driving distance of Brisbane and Byron Bay. The $750 million development will comprise a village centre and retail precinct, tourist accommodation, home sites and medium density homes and apartments for an ultimate population of up to 2,000 people. |
