A mother has been charged with manslaughter after two young women, including her daughter, were hit and killed in a shopping centre carpark in northern NSW.

Police were called to a Nambucca Heads shopping centre just before midnight on Saturday, where the two women - a 24-year-old from Bellingen and a 20-year-old from Macksville - had been run down by a car.

Both of them died at the scene. 

In a tribute posted on social media, the fiance of the brother of one of the victims, Kazzandra Widders, said the tragedy had left the family feeling numb.

"Why did it have to be you?" she wrote. "You were the one that was there for me when I needed you, you would always jump for me, Harold and your niece and nephews." 

She wrote the 20-year-old was "one of a kind". 

"You are the bestest sister in-law, the bestest aunty anyone could ever ask for."

The 52-year-old driver has been refused bail to front Kempsey Local Court on Monday, where she faces charges of manslaughter, dangerous driving and leaving the scene without rendering help.

The other woman has been identified as 24-year-old Skye Luland, believed to be the daughter of the woman charged. 

Police say they are investigating all the circumstances leading up to the incident and called for any witnesses to come forward.
