Tweed
Banora Point can be a straight run-in. A canal block is not
Stock held for Tweed Heads and the district runs from Banora Point and the coastal villages through Kingscliff and up the valley to Murwillumbah. The delivery is quoted to the frontage. Around Chinderah, Cudgen and Tumbulgum the country is old cane ground, alluvial, with a water table that never sits far down.
- Where it is loaded
- Coast allocation for the heads, the villages and the valley
- What sets the day
- The shell, plus a crane or a street closure if the block needs one
- Usual truck
- Tilt bed where the run-in is straight; crane for waterfront, villages and lifts over a fence
Canals
The house already fills the land
Tweed Heads South and Banora Point are 2486, and Terranora and Bilambil share that number, which is where the ridge streets begin. Along the canals and the lower end of Banora Point the house meets the boundaries. The crane stands in the street.
Ridges
Terranora driveways kick at the kerb
A tray that has to break over a steep kerb and then climb will ground the deck. Those streets want a crane, or a shorter shell, and a photo of the kick. Bilambil is the same family. New South Wales road rules apply, and a question about standing a crane in the street is a question for the council.
Cane
Dry on top, soft under the corners
Old cane ground looks crusty and still lets a corner sink because the water table is close. Bearers or pads under each casting, and a preference for the higher part of the block, matter at Chinderah and Tumbulgum. Murwillumbah and Condong are 2484, up the river. Coolangatta, hard against the line, is 4225, and a job there uses this same Tweed allocation.
Villages
A manager's yes is not the whole permission
Knockdown-rebuilds through Banora Point and Kingscliff need a site lockup while the old house is gone. If a village or estate manager has said the container can come in, ask what else: the hour, the standing spot, the weight on their paving. We still need a legal place for the truck. Their note does not replace a street permit if the crane is in the roadway.
Canals, kerbs and cane ground
Banora Point is a straight run-in. A canal block is not. What else changes?
The truck. Open frontage, tilt bed. Water frontage, crane from the street, cars gone, power noted. Both get called Banora Point. The photo of the frontage is what stops us sending the wrong one.
Terranora driveways kick at the kerb. Which truck still has a chance?
Often a crane, or a short shell if the grade eases quickly. A tilt bed grounds on that kick. Photograph the gutter and the first ten metres. Bilambil is the same shape.
The cane country looks dry on top. What should the corners sit on?
Bearers or pads. The crust hides a high water table, and a casting will work its way down. Prefer the higher part of the block at Chinderah or Tumbulgum. Dry dust on top is not bearing.

Canal, ridge kerb, or cane flat?
Banora Point, Terranora or Murwillumbah. Say if a manager has already set a window.
