A site located at 771 Cudgen Rd, Cudgen was identified in June 2018 as the preferred site for a new Tweed Valley Hospital and supporting health service facilities. The existing land use on the site was primarily zoned RU1 Primary Production. Hospitals are a prohibited use in the RU1 zone under the Tweed LEP 2014.
In November-December 2018, we sought your feedback on proposed changes to State Environmental Planning Policy (Tweed Valley Hospital) to amend the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 by rezoning part of 771 Cudgen Road, Cudgen (Part Lot 102 DP 870722) from Zone RU1 Primary Production and Zone R1 General Residential to Zone SP2 Infrastructure (Health Services Facility).
In February 2019, the State Environmental Planning Policy Amendment (Tweed Valley Hospital) 2019 was gazetted, which amends the Tweed LEP 2014 and rezones the site to SP2 Infrastructure (Health Services Facility). The amendments also remove development controls relating to height, minimum subdivision lot size and floor space ratios.
