Kings Forest skip bins

Kings Forest covers 869 hectares on Tweed Coast Road near Kingscliff. About 4,500 homes are approved for the site. In August 2025 Stockland agreed to purchase the project from Leda Holdings, and schools, parks, sports fields and a retail centre are planned. The 2021 Census found only 40 residents. The first homesites have since settled and houses are going up.

Stage one: the build

Offcuts, packaging and plasterboard scraps from a house build belong in a General Builders bin, which also accepts general rubbish. Most builds use a 6 m³ or 9 m³, roughly 24 or 36 wheelie bins, and the 15 m³ hook bin covers heavier going. Park the bin within the lot boundary so the road stays free for other trades. Builds that outlast 14 days can add one more week ($35) or switch to unlimited hire ($50).

Stage two: handover and move-in

Homesites are roughly 392 to 610 square metres. Once the house covers most of the lot, a 3 m³ or 4 m³ is the easier fit and handles move-in boxes, packaging and garage set-up waste.

Stage three: the garden

Landscaping soil goes in a Dirt bin, 4 m³ at most, and is quoted by phone. Concrete or clean rubble from paths and edging is capped at 6 m³. Turf and rubbish mixed into a dirt load bring a $200 contamination fee.

Council and clocks

Keep the bin on your lot and nothing is needed. If it must stand on the roadway, the footpath or the nature strip, apply to Tweed Shire Council for an “Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place”; council charges a fee, and the application is your responsibility. Delivery windows follow Queensland clocks, which lag NSW by an hour through daylight saving.
