A PUBLIC meeting is scheduled to let the people of Tweed voice their last thoughts on the proposed Kings Forest development before definitive approval is given by the Department of Planning and Infrastructure.

A Tweed Shire Council statement said the Department of Planning and Infrastructure had completed its assessment of the proposed Kings Forest concept modification and stage one sub-division project.

"This assessment will be considered by the Planning Assessment Commission for determination at a meeting of the Commission on Tuesday, June 18 at the South Tweed Sports Club, starting at 3pm," a statement said.

"This meeting is open to the public and bookings can be made to address the commission."

The council said the department had recommended approval of the application, subject to conditions and agreed commitments from the developer.

Stage one will see 431 dwellings built across 383 residential lots, as well as bulk earthworks and roadworks.

"In its assessment, the department said these conditions were required to prevent, minimise, and/or offset adverse environmental impacts; set standards and performance measures for acceptable environmental performance; require regular monitoring and reporting and provide for the ongoing environmental management of the project," the Tweed Shire Council statement said.

Kings Forest residential community, to be located an 880-hectare site west of Casuarina, is a staged development which will eventually house more than 10,000 residents in 4500 dwellings.

The first stage will see 431 dwellings built across 383 residential lots, as well as bulk earthworks and roadworks.

"The construction and occupation of these dwellings does not form part of this application and would be subject to a separate approval process through council," the statement said.

Mayor Barry Longland said he welcomed the assessment and the opportunity for the community and council to address the Planning Assessment Commission at the meeting.

"Our council put in a very detailed and robust submission and I'm hoping that the final determination will take into account the important issues we raised," he said.
