Developers: We’re Watching You!

Hastings Point is the smallest coastal settlement of NSW Tweed Shire; the “Jewel of the Tweed”, surrounded by national park, the hamlet is nestled between the ocean on its east and a beautiful but delicate estuary on its west.

It is the entrance for the now nationally recognised “Green Cauldron” and is identified without doubt as one of the unique seaside locations in Australia. (Where is Hastings Point?)

With an unspoiled expanse of magnificent beach, visitors come here to appreciate nature at her finest, while the local residents help protect, clean and nurture the environment, acting as stewards for future generations. Put simply, there is nothing like it. For as long as one can remember, seasonal campers have been attracted to the natural beauty of Hastings Point, returning year after year.

This idyllic place has survived as a result of low impact development; but sadly, it is now on the verge of destruction through inappropriate over-development. However over the past 3 years, through the efforts of the close knit community, the tide is beginning to turn.

Hastings Point has been promised a locality plan, and we the locals, must now ensure that OUR locality plan conforms with:

  • Local & NSW state laws and policies;
  • The Community’s wishes;
  • The protection of Hastings Point’s unique character and environment.

Please join us in our fight to Save Hastings Point!
