SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
PUBLIC ROADS have evolved and improved over time. The old Pacific Highway ran through Burringbar. Today the main access routes are via Tweed Valley Way and Upper Burringbar Road.
PUBLIC PATHS are minimal through the village limiting its walkability to the main street, where there is a public path that runs along the retail shops.
ELECTRICITY is predominately sourced via the main grid, established in 1950.
TELEPHONE LINES were installed sometime prior to the second World War.
WATER: Connection to the Tweed Valley Water Supply from Clarrie Hall Dam occurred sometime after the dam was built in the 1970s, completed in 1982.
BROADBAND was established through the village in 2011.
MAINS SEWERAGE was established in 2012 with some residents still in the process of being hooked up.
OLD RAILWAY LINE
There is no indigenous land claim on the area, and no potential coal seam gas mining as the geology is inappropriate for such.
The Tweed Shire Council has classified parts of Burringbar as Village zoning which means a variety of commercial and residential buildings can be in this zone. Some, but not all of this zoning is established providing the opportinity for future expansion within this zone.
There is a main commercial street; surrounding residential on varying lot sizes and recreational parks; and then surrounding land zoned Rural Landscape which provides for agricultural farming and forests.
A new residential development is currently proposed on the north side of Masterson park adjacent to the main street.
Burringbar has established infrastructure for electricity, telephone and water, with the recent additions of broadband in 2011 and mains sewerage in 2012. Some residents have yet to be hooked up to the new sewerage system but its underway. The railway closed in 2004 which had linked Murwillimbah to Casino.
Burringbar’s main strip boasts a large proportion of their commercial activity with existing residential zones spread around this, and a further potential residential zoning spreading further from these. A proposed area of development has also been put in place for the village, just north of the old railway line. The village also boasts a proportion of arable land, both within the village, and on the outskirts, growing organic produce.
