Do Hastings Point blocks carry a flood level?

Lower blocks near the Cudgera Creek estuary can carry an estuarine flood-planning level that sets minimum floor height, while higher ocean-side land is shaped more by coastal-hazard mapping. We check the Tweed Shire mapping for your address before design so the right controls are built in.

Can you build close to the beach and reserve here?

Yes, with the constraints factored in. Coastal-hazard mapping and the surrounding reserve can influence setbacks, levels and site disturbance. We confirm what applies to your block before design so the home is planned around the real site.

Riversedge Building Group works across Hastings Point and the southern Tweed coast — Pottsville, Cabarita and the beachside villages. Our work covers new home builds, renovations, extensions and project management, run by the same licensed builder who prices the job.

Hastings Point sits on a narrow strip between the ocean and the Cudgera Creek estuary, bordered by reserve, so it carries two planning realities at once: coastal-hazard exposure on the ocean side and estuarine flood-planning on the lower creek land. We confirm the coastal and flood mapping for your block before design, under NSW Builder Licence 345758C.

Tweed Shire Council planning for Hastings Point

Residential work in Hastings Point is assessed under the Tweed Local Environmental Plan and Tweed Development Control Plan, with both coastal-hazard mapping along the foreshore and estuarine flood-planning near Cudgera Creek potentially in play depending on the lot. We establish the approval pathway and read both the coastal and flood mapping for the address before a contract is signed.

Building between the ocean and the creek

A village hemmed by water and reserve means durability and levels both matter — salt-appropriate materials and fixings, and floor heights set to any flood-planning level on lower creek-side blocks. We design the footings, floor system and detailing to suit whichever exposures apply to your block, alongside the usual NCC and BASIX obligations.

Approvals

Hastings Point is a small coastal village within Tweed Shire Council, set between the ocean and the Cudgera Creek estuary and bordered by reserve; coastal-hazard mapping along the foreshore and estuarine flood-planning on lower land near the creek both shape footings, floor levels and material choices on near-water blocks.
