Kirra Reinvented
Kirra Beach. One of the worlds’ most enjoyable and well-know beaches is undergoing an reinvention with the help of investment funds to the region. Sand relocation, the Tugan bypass, the opening of Southern Cross University and luxurious residential skyhomes all combine to give this sleepy surfing village a eagerly anticipated lift.
Developments such as Nirvana By The Sea by Niecon which has a mixture of the ‘old’ Kirra lifestyle with a degree of refined luxury have breathed a new life into the until recently under-appreciated beauty spot on the Southern Gold Coast.
The State and Local governments have moved sand to Kirra Beach in order to repair the iconic surf break. The sand-pumping project which began in 2001 at the entrance of the Tweed River is has been blamed for the issues. The Queensland Government pledged $1.5 million towards restoration work which Anna Bligh stated “…will help bring back Kirra’s world-famous surf break”.
Southern Cross University (SCU) Gold Coast campus, the international airport and only 400 m to Kirra opens this year. Students are invited to be part of the foundation year experience as well as enjoy the lifestyle benefits of such a special location.
