The fertile red soil of Cudgen. Photo supplied. The possibility of the new Kingscliff Ambulance station being placed on State Significant Farmland (SSF) was raised following the announcement of funding for the new ambulance station by Health Minister Brad Hazzard earlier this month. This followed the divisive decision to build the new Tweed Valley Hospital on SSF on the Cudgen Plateau near Kingscliff. Peter Newton, President of the Kingscliff Ratepayers and Progress Association Inc (KRPA) told The Echo at the time that residents were seeking a further guarantee from the local MP Geoff Provest (Nationals) that the ‘iron-clad guarantee that no remaining state significant farmland will be subject to development’ would be honoured.
