Terranora at a look

Terranora is a family suburb on Terranora Creek, where the Tweed Heads urban area reaches west towards Bilambil Heights. Census 2021: 3,365 residents, median age 42. Schools: Terranora Public School, and Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School’s senior campus.

Cedar-getters came in the 1850s, when the place went by Taranora. Its origin is thought to be Bundjalung, from a word for a little river or estuary.

Common jobs, matched to sizes

Renovating a bathroom: a 3 m³ or 4 m³. Clearing a garage or shed: a 4 m³, about 16 wheelie bins, which also takes soil. Renovating the whole house or moving out: 6 m³ to 9 m³. Only garden material? That is a Green Waste bin. Mixed household rubbish needs a General Household bin. Mix the two in a Green Waste bin and a contamination fee applies.

The driveway does the job

98.6 per cent: the share of Terranora homes that were separate houses in 2021. Keep the skip on your own driveway and council approval never comes up. Choose firm, level ground the truck can reverse onto, away from low wires and branches.

Street placement in the Tweed

Kerbside placement in the Tweed needs Tweed Shire Council’s Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place, and there is a council fee. That paperwork is on you, start to finish; we never lodge approvals. Our rates do not change over the border: no NSW surcharge.

Times are Queensland time

Booking cut-offs, AM and PM windows and opening hours are all set on Queensland time. NSW moves an hour ahead for daylight saving and Queensland does not, so the midday cut-off reads 1:00pm on a Terranora clock.

Terranora questions

Asked about Terranora

Which time zone are Terranora bookings in?

Queensland time. While NSW is on daylight saving that is an hour behind, so the midday cut-off for next-day delivery is 1:00pm on a Terranora clock. Every order needs 36 hours’ lead time; AM or PM is a preference.

Does a skip on a Terranora street need approval?

Yes. For a bin on the street, footpath or verge, Tweed Shire Council’s Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place is required, and a council fee applies. Organising it is your job. Your own driveway needs nothing.

Is skip hire dearer on the NSW side?

No. Terranora is charged from the same rate card used on the Gold Coast; there is no NSW surcharge.

Can soil go in a Terranora skip?

Yes, in a Dirt bin up to 4 m³. Soil is too heavy for bins of 6 m³ and over, and concrete stops at 6 m³. Heavier than that? Phone 1800 462 674 and it goes over two bins.
