New South Wales opened a public consultation on November 12 on a rezoning proposal that could make room for up to 230 residential lots in Murwillumbah. The site on North Arm Road is west of the town centre. The state is pursuing the proposal as part of its flood recovery work in the Northern Rivers region.

The state says it has committed about A$7 million to help with rezoning and essential infrastructure, including technical studies covering flood risk, drainage and transport. If the rezoning goes ahead, any development would still need assessment and approval by Tweed Shire Council.

Residents can comment through December 10. The state expects a rezoning decision in early 2027 after an independent assessment informed by public feedback.
