GALES NEW PARKLANDS
Gales 2021 Masterplan proposed the creation of new parklands for Kingscliff.
However due to Council requring these areas for treed offsets, the parklands will instead be conservation lands.
The images below show Gales plans which will unfortunately not be realised but attest to Gales aspirational plans to create the best possible living space in Kingscliff.
While Gales Parklands will not be realised, there will be wonderful parks in each precinct surrounded by ecological conservation areas.

ABOUT GALES NEW PARKLANDS
Gales Parklands are nestled between Tweed Coast Road and Tweed Valley Hospital. A hidden jewel in Gales stewardship, they will be opened to the public if made into parklands, with linking trails to enjoy nature, for quiet walking and for exercise with wide grassed areas, pocket parks, picnic and seating opportunities, and exercise stations. The parklands will become a wonderful public asset abutting high quality Ecological Conservation areas.
​
Sugar Mill Rainforest Park and Track: Nature, walking and cycling trails, open grassy areas that are perfect for play, pocket parks for picnics, seats and exercise stations.
​
Quigan Park: Shaded open space with enough room for kids to kick a ball. A quiet alternative to the beach.
​
A Survey undertaken by Gales in late 2020 received over 240 responses, with 84% stating that Kingscliff needs more parks and the overwhelming majority favoring the creation of Sugar Mill Parklands and Quigan Park. See below for more information and the Survey Results Report.
