Eighteen development applications. One coastal site in northern New South Wales. Forty years of shifting plans, partial builds and stalled visions.

TriCare, a retirement village operator, is now putting forward an $89.2-million proposal it hopes will finally complete its community at Hastings Point, 25km south of Tweed Heads.

TriCare (Hastings) Limited lodged the new development application for a seniors housing project at 87–89 Tweed Coast Road, for 69 independent living units (ILUs) across four new buildings.
