We wish to acknowledge the Ngandowal and Minyungbal speaking people of Bundjalung Country, in particular the Goodjinburra, Tul-gi-gin and Moorung – Moobah clans, as being the traditional owners and custodians of the land and waters within the Tweed Shire boundaries.
Murwillumbah’s CBD is shaped by local enterprise, creative culture and a sense of community ownership. The town is home to galleries, independent businesses, hospitality venues and cultural spaces that give it an individual character, while nearby nature and the Northern Rivers Rail Trail draw a steady flow of visitors into the centre.
Recent investment in public art, lighting and place activation has added fresh energy to streets and laneways, helping strengthen the town’s after-dark potential. Key spaces such as The Regent Cinema, M|Arts Precinct, Proudfoots Lane and Knox Park sit within a highly walkable footprint, making it easy to connect experiences across the CBD. Murwillumbah offers partners a place with creativity, local pride and visible momentum behind its next chapter.
Murwillumbah gives partners access to an engaged community, creative organisations and public spaces within a compact CBD. Proven activations such as the Proudfoots Lane Party show strong audience response, making the town well suited to cultural, food, arts and place-based collaborations.
