Hi Devo, I'm new to this investing thing but my partner and I recently lived in Tweed Heads for 4 years, he is a plumber an worked on many developments in Banora Point, Kingscliff (Salt), Casurina and Pottsville. Things are booming there. While places like Salt and Casurina are known for their beach views and prestigious houses, Pottsville is known as an ever-booming retirement village – so this may be the place to look. The Pacific Highway now bypasses most of the little coastal towns along the far north coast but if you have a drive along the old highway you may find some surprisingly busy coastal towns not too far south from the bustle of Tweed. I do believe, before we left there was a new shopping village development beginning south of Tweed which may make these towns even more attractive. Also, apart from the Tugan bypass, there is also rumoured plans to extend the railway from Brisbane to Coolangatta airport making Brisbane even more accessible from Tweed.

As someone who grew up on the northern rivers (casino) Ballina and Byron are really has been locations look more to Lennox head, even Murwillumbah (20 mins from Tweed).

Hope that helps
