The proposed Cudgen Connection seeks to deliver a health, education and community precinct providing jobs and affordable housing next to the Tweed Valley Hospital.

We are seeking to invest over $300 million to deliver affordable housing, a mental health hospital, childcare and retail to support essential workers, a bus interchange, community hub, university campus, private hospital and medical suites and medihotel.

We anticipate it will create up to 1000 new local jobs, act as a catalyst to stimulate the local economy and address the housing crisis.

The opportunity to connect health initiatives, education, community groups and lifestyle in a central precinct is an exciting one which holds enormous potential for the region.
