Suburb profile
Wooyung is a residential smaller community in Tweed with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees.
There is enough green space nearby for walks, picnics and after-school play. Housing carries a premium, but residents tend to feel the lifestyle justifies the commitment.
Renewal is happening in measured doses, with new development complementing what is already there.
