Surveying a Shire Built Around the Tweed River System

Tweed Shire was declared on 1 January 1947 following the amalgamation of the municipality of Murwillumbah and the earlier Shire of Tweed, and covers 1,321 square kilometres administered from Murwillumbah. The shire takes its name from the Tweed River, first explored by Surveyor General John Oxley in 1823, with its main tributaries including the Oxley and Rous Rivers alongside the Cobaki and Terranora Broadwaters. This river system runs through the heart of the shire, connecting riverside communities such as Tumbulgum, Chinderah, Condong and Murwillumbah, and any development near these waterways requires an understanding of water boundaries and flood behaviour. Our surveyors work across the shire’s river towns as well as its coastal villages, from Tweed Heads to Pottsville.

Working Across Coastal and River Flood Considerations

Communities across Tweed Shire, including Chinderah and Murwillumbah, have a long recorded history of flooding, with major events documented in 1954, 1974, 1989, 2001, 2008 and 2017, and the February 2022 event recognised as a flood of record for the shire. Flooding in Tweed Shire is often influenced by peak river levels coinciding with high tides or storm surges, particularly in the low lying river towns. For any building or subdivision project across the shire, our team carries out detail and contour surveys that establish accurate site levels, giving property owners and developers the information needed to plan around these known flood behaviours.
