A $3.4m beachside home has been proposed for a street back from the beach at Kingscliff in the Tweed, just south of the Queensland-New South Wales border.

The eye-catching three-storey Pearl St home would be located in the central area of Kingscliff – close to the Tweed Valley Hospital build – and require demolition of an existing two-storey house.

The proposed new home would include four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a basement garage and swimming pool and outdoor deck at the rear, a development application to Tweed Shire Council shows.

Director of project management firm ELKN, Lance Newley, speaking on behalf of the owner’s, states the properly would not “adversely impact on access to the foreshore, coast, visual amenity, scenic qualities of the coast”.

Mr Newley said materials used would be consistent with the “eclectic” styles in the area and the dwelling would set a positive standard.

“The proposal contributes a high design quality and aesthetic values consistent with the coastal character of the area and the eclectic mix of architectural styles present,” he said.

“The development presents a visually interesting street facade through a range of framing elements, textures, articulation and appropriate treatments.”

Mr Newley said Kingscliff has seen gradual redevelopments of small coastal cottages into three-storey homes over the last 20 years.

“The proposal provides outstanding architectural merit consistent with the architectural character intended through the beachfront precinct of Kingscliff,” he said.

“The newer and larger buildings capitalise on the ocean views and coastal reserve which provides level pedestrian and cycling access into the town centre to the south.”

Construction of the home on the 506 sqm site would require the removal of a 4m tall fig tree and four new “feature trees” would be added.

The 13.6m tall building would be constructed on a “busy arterial road”, Mr Newley said.
