RETAIL IS THE TWEED’S SECOND LARGEST EMPLOYER, AFTER THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES SECTOR.
The recently expanded Tweed City Shopping Centre – with more than 140 specialty stores – in Tweed Heads South, made almost $305 million in sales in 2017.*
Located just seven kilometres from Gold Coast Airport, the centre has almost 52,000 square metres of retail space, as well as an entertainment and dining precinct it attracts around 6.5 million people movements a year.
Tweed Mall in the Tweed Heads CBD is core to the Council’s City Centre Revitalisation Program. Retailers within this future cultural hub stand to benefit from the significant increase of residents and visitors expected in this area.
In addition, numerous other shopping precincts with unique boutique stores serve our coastal villages, suburbs and rural centres and two new town centres are planned in the future urban-release areas of Cobaki and Kings Forest.
