From carpenter to the cockpit

Samuel - exactly where he wants to be

“For years, I was too scared to take the leap of faith because I was comfortable in my job and had built a career around it.” At 33, however, Samuel decided he would rather take the risk than spend the rest of his life wondering what might have been. He returned to the challenging life of aviation studies and began flight training from scratch, working his way through his private and commercial pilot licences. Two years later, at 35, Samuel is now a multi-engine instrument-rated commercial pilot and continuing to work towards his ultimate goal of becoming an airline pilot. He’s also sharing his inspiring story via social media and is amassing and solid following. He achieved this by documenting his aviation journey through his account @ flyinghone, initially simply to share his experiences and what he was learning. What began as a personal record has grown into a thriving aviation community, with more than 50,000 followers across

Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. Samuel presents his story well and also shares insights into the challenges and rewards of learning to fly. For Samuel, the journey from the construction site to the cockpit has proved that pursuing a lifelong ambition does not necessarily have an expiry date. “I think there’s a really interesting local story in the fact that you can completely change direction later in life, take a risk and pursue something you’ve always dreamed of,” he said. “Hopefully my journey might also encourage other people who are sitting on a dream to take that leap themselves.” YOUR STORY: The Weekly is interested in your local story or career pivot?

Flood defence boosted By Jonathon Howard

MURWILLUMBAH’S FLOOD defence have receiving a major boost, with construction underway on a new $5.6 million Lavender Creek pump station designed to move up to eight cubic metres of stormwater every second. The project is one of six flood mitigation upgrades across Murwillumbah, backed by a combined $16 million through the federal government’s $150 million Northern Rivers Recovery and Resilience Program (NRRRP). The six projects include new pump systems at Dorothy/William Street, George Street and Lavender Creek, upgrades to the Wharf Street pump stations, modification works at Alma Street and earthworks at Quarry Road. At Lavender Creek, a new pump station will be constructed offset from the existing creek and will house two new flood pumps, along with sump dividers, flow-straightening bays and screening designed to prevent debris build-up. Electrical controls, communications and telemetry will also be installed on

an elevated platform to better protect the equipment during future floods. Federal Minister for Emergency Management Kristy McBain said the investment was about reducing future flood risks. “This upgrade to the Lavender Creek pump station will strengthen Murwillumbah’s flood defence system, helping protect homes, businesses and critical infrastructure while giving the community greater confidence during severe weather events,” she said. Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot said the Albanese Labor Government was delivering more than $5.6 million towards the project. “As your local Labor MP you can always count on me to deliver funding to help the North Coast build back better and ensure we’re more resilient to future events,” she said. NSW Minister for Recovery and Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin said reliable infrastructure was vital during severe weather. “This community knows better than most that during severe weather, reliable infrastructure is everything.

A TWEED carpenter who once believed becoming an airline pilot was an unattainable dream has shown it is never too late to change direction, swapping his tools for flight controls at the age of 33. Local Samuel Tipene had spent years building a career on the tools, when he finally decided to take a leap of faith and pursue a career in aviation – something he had dreamed about since his childhood. “I was previously working as a chippy and had always had a dream of becoming an airline pilot – definitely seemed like an unattainable dream at the time,” Samuel told The Weekly, after reaching out to share his story.

these pump stations gives Murwillumbah the capacity to handle heavy rainfall, protecting local homes and businesses while giving the community peace of mind,” she said. Tweed Mayor Chris Cherry said the project formed part of the broader push to improve Murwillumbah’s flood resilience. “We know there is no single solution to flooding, but investments like this are an important step towards making our community more resilient in the future.” The Lavender Creek pump station is expected to be completed in February 2027, weather permitting.

Flight path concerns

I call on our council, state and federal governments to please look after the health and wellbeing of your constituency regarding the proposed flight paths from Coolangatta (Gold Coast Airport). Presently in a northerly wind, all planes taking off from Coolangatta turn east over the Tugun Catholic Church then fly out to sea then to their point of destination. However, in a southerly wind, the planes take off from Coolangatta, fly directly over all of Tweed Heads and Banora Point and then to their point of destination. In my opinion, this is blatant discrimination against the people of Tweed, dumping noise and pollution all over the area. A fair outcome would be for the planes that take off to the south, to then turn east over Terranora Creek Bridge (where there is virtually no population under this flight path), head out to sea and then on to their destination - as they do in Queensland. I would ask that you please agitate against this discrimination brought upon us by Air Services Australia. Derek Goodchild, Tweed Heads

Water is essential – remember that

It seems Michael Cliff did not read (or missed) The Weekly’s article on the council meeting where the motion for a 50-metre pool included in the Recreation Street project was defeated. All the councillors agreed it was a good idea to have the pool, but council officers pointed out the reasoning behind a lack of funds to pay for it. Four councillors took note of that and the three that didn’t gave no alternative funding solutions. And Len Haggerty seems to think that raising the dam wall is unaffordable, but how can the council not make provision for inevitable population increase. It’s their duty

to the people of the shire, no matter what the cost. Water is essential – not a luxury. Anthony Malivanek, Bray Park

Dam wall raising needs all our attention

To have second thoughts about raising the Doon Doon dam wall is inconceivable Both dams that includes the Clarrie Hall Dam has to be raised with the population getting out of control around the country, it’s only a matter of time for newcomers that will turn up at the Tweed Valley doorstep for a better life. Water is essential for all species on the planet, forget about a Pool for the Recreation Park what a waste of good green space and facilities the beach is over and beyond? As experts have been telling the NSW Government lately if you don’t raise the Warragamba Dam the Sydney basin area will be short of water by 2030. Go figure! The cost will only increase the longer you leave a vital resource. Water. P Lazer, Terranora

Rights to gun ownership

I wish to lobby support to table legislation in the NSW Parliament for the repealing of a recent amendment to the NSW firearms legislation. The recent amendments are a knee jerk reaction by the incumbent NSW Labour state government to the Bondi terrorist attacks on December 14, 2025. The recent amendments to the firearms legislation will not in any way protect Australian citizens against further terrorist inspired attacks. The current gun laws are not the problem but restricting unsuitable people who have been permitted the lawful possession of the firearms are not covered under NSW firearms legislation. The crackdown on gun ownership will not stop terrorism or the people who obtain these weapons.

A STRESSFUL hospital admission involving her husband has inspired an 86-year-old Tweed resident to create a simple booklet, known as a Hospital Passport, designed to make life easier for others when they need medical care. Palm Lake Resort Tweed River resident Marion Van de Pol came up with the idea for the Hospital Passport after admitting her husband to John Flynn Private Hospital and confronting the mountain of paperwork required. “The paperwork, which is necessary, was enormous and stressful,” Marion told The Weekly. Unable to sleep that night, Marion had a lightbulb moment. “At 2am I designed and wrote a little booklet called Hospital Passport,” she said. Marion initially had just 30 copies printed and distributed them among friends at her over50s village, but the response was overwhelming and demand had skyrocketed. Residents have since formed a committee to help print and promote the booklet, with about 150 copies already sold within the village and more orders coming in. A local church group has also purchased copies, while Marion said arrangements were being made for the booklet to be sold through the Tweed hospital community. Rather than making money from the initiative, Marion said the aim

was to simply help older people and those with limited abilities to streamline their hospital admissions. The booklet sells locally for $5, which goes towards printing and postage costs. Marion would ultimately like to see NSW Government and/or community organisations make the Hospital Passport more helpful and simplify an often-complex issue. “We do not want to make money for ourselves, but we would like to help others,” she said. What began as one woman’s 2am solution to a stressful experience could now help make a trip to hospital that little bit easier. To find out more, or order you Hospital Passport, please phone: 0457 355 722.

Terrorists will obtain weapons illegally to do harm to others to further their cause. A better funded, resourced and equipped AFP enabled to fight terrorism will be more effective than tightening gun laws.

Law abiding gun owners are bearing the brunt of the restrictions of their rights to gun ownership with other infringements consequentially on civil rights (Bill of Rights) as a result of the new firearms legislation. In particular, the removal of the

More consultation needed on old hospital site

Marion Van de Pol had a lightbulb moment with the Hospital Passport

Last Saturday afternoon, September 6, I attended a “community visioning workshop” run by Landcom on the proposed old hospital site housing development. I felt personally this was a token effort. There was a brief opening presentation which was ok and, amongst other things, highlighted the severe shortage of rental accommodation in Tweed Heads. There was only six minutes for questions on the grounds that questions could be asked and answered in four smaller group rotated presentations. However, these 4 Landcom designed sessions focused on third and fourth order issues like the types of people/families that might occupy the buildings and should there be a fence around the development. The concern is the proposed size of the development and how that would impact issues like parking. Let’s hope there is a better process for community consultation.

Fresh hurdles for Woolworths A BATTLE over whether Woolworths should be allowed to build a new supermarket on the former Murwillumbah Bowls and Sports Club site has intensified this week, with a new flood report concluding the land is unsuitable for rezoning. The Weekly’s Letters page has been running hot with debate both for and against the Brisbane Street site becoming a Woolies, plus additional retailers, with many in support and some against. The site, which is owned by Woolworths, is one of the more contentious elements of Tweed Shire Council’s draft Growth Management, Housing and Employment Strategy, which proposes considering the future use of the predominantly RE2 Private Recreation-zoned land for a full-line supermarket. Woolworths has previously reinforced its commitment to developing the site, and again reinforced this commitment to The Weekly last month, but residents and local businesses have raised concerns about flooding, the loss of recreation land and whether Murwillumbah needs another major supermarket. Tweed Valley IGA and Murwillumbah IGA owner Brett Bugg said he was not opposed to Woolworths establishing another supermarket in Murwillumbah, but believes the location is a “major problem”. “I support the idea of a Woolworths coming to Murwillumbah’s CBD, but the site in question remains a hurdle,” Mr Bugg said. “I believe it should be in the existing CBD, where everyone else is located.” Mr Bugg commissioned flood engineering consultancy firm Rhelm to review the flood implications of the proposed landuse change as part of his submission on council’s draft growth strategy.

“the site becomes completely inundated when river flooding overtops the flood levee.” The August 31 report, prepared by Rhelm director and principal Louise Collier, concludes the land at 38 Brisbane Street and surrounds is “unsuitable for the proposed land use change outlined in the Draft Strategy to support a full-line supermarket”. The report states the site becomes completely inundated when river flooding overtops Murwillumbah’s established flood levee, which is rare but has occurred in parts during the devastating 2022 flood. Council mapping identifies the entire site as being within the Flood Planning Area and classifies it as a high-hazard flood storage area. Rhelm estimates flood depths across the site could range from 1.7 to 4.2 metres in the Defined Flood Event and between 5.3 and 7.8 metres during a Probable Maximum Flood. “These depths are significant and represent a material hazard to both people and property,” the report states. What is more problematic for any future Woolworths proposal is the NSW Government’s planning directions that came into force on July 1 this year. The report says rezoning the predominantly RE2 Private Recreation land to an employment or mixed-use zone capable of accommodating a supermarket would directly conflict with the state’s P5.7 Flooding direction. That direction states a planning proposal

The old bowls club is long gone now

“must not rezone land within the flood planning area from Recreation, Rural, Special Purpose or Conservation Zones to a Residential, Employment, MU1 Mixed Use, W4 Working Waterfront or Special Purpose Zones”. Rhelm also raises concerns about increased traffic affecting evacuation during floods and the risks of locating an essential service such as a supermarket in an area that could become inaccessible during a major disaster. However, the debate is not solely about flooding. Council’s draft strategy says consideration of a supermarket on the site should also examine whether there is an economic need for another in-town supermarket, alternative locations, the loss of private recreation land, impacts on the existing CBD and main street, surrounding residential amenity and pedestrian connections. Mr Bugg commissioned a further economic report, which found there was no economic need for a full-line supermarket until 2041. “And even then, the report found that Murwillumbah would only require another 1,400-square-metre retailer, such as an Aldi, not a full-line supermarket,” he said.

“Community and stakeholder feedback is central to the planning process,” the spokesperson said. Further community pop-up sessions will be held at Tweed Mall on Saturday, September 12, and Tweed Heads Market on Sunday, September 13 (see page 5). Landcom has also established a local working group comprising community, business and residential representatives to provide input as the plans develop. The State Significant Development Application is expected to be lodged in early 2027, with construction anticipated to begin in 2029, subject to planning approvals. The hospital site has largely been unused since services transferred to the $723 million Tweed Valley Hospital at Cudgen and is one of 75 surplus government-owned sites identified through the NSW Government’s property audit for potential housing development.

A recent NSW Supreme Court decision demonstrates that children who were left out of their mother’s will on a multi-million-dollar estate can still be entitled to a share of the inheritance. The 69-year-old mother died in 2023, leaving her entire $2.4 million estate to a niece and cutting out her three adult children, from whom she had been estranged for 20 years. The court heard the mother and father divorced in 2002. The mother felt bitter, believing their three children had sided with the father over the family breakdown. The $2.4 million estate was a house in Strathfield in Sydney the mother had received in the divorce. The niece became a surrogate daughter who cared for the mother when she became ill. When the entire estate was left to the niece, the three children, now in their forties, made a family provision claim. Joshua Crowther, Accredited Specialist in Wills and Estates at Stacks Law Firm, explains that a family provision claim is a legal avenue under the NSW Succession Act 2006 for current or former dependents of a deceased to seek a larger share of an estate, if they can establish that inadequate provision was made for them in a will. “The claimant needs to prove the will did not make adequate provision for them,” Mr Crowther said. “The judge can also consider whether the distribution of the estate in the will causes pain or trauma to the claimant.” Justice Geoff Lindsay said in his judgment that the marriage had been unhappy and turbulent. He said the children were traumatised by their parents’ separation, and “still suffer emotional pain as collateral damage in their parents’ war”. The mother failed to recognise the “psychological damage suffered by her children”. Judge Lindsay said the mother’s rejection of her children “persisted beyond the grave”. He made orders for the two elder siblings to receive $200,000 from the estate, while their younger sister, in greater need, received $350,000. The niece – who had helped care for her aunt – received the balance, totalling $1.6 million. Mr Crowther said the decision demonstrated that estrangement does not prevent a family provision claim, particularly when a claimant is collateral damage in a conflict the will-maker had with someone else. It also shows children don’t automatically get equal slices of the pie. “The children managed to win a share of the estate through a family provision claim, even though they were not in any financial hardship. The case shows the law can consider the long-term emotional consequences of being disinherited in a will through no fault of one’s own.”

PARKING AND traffic impacts have emerged as key community concerns surrounding plans to transform the former Tweed hospital into a major new neighbourhood of up to 800 homes. The developer, Landcom, hosted the first of a series of community visioning workshops at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre on Saturday, September 5, attracting about 50 residents keen to learn more about the ambitious redevelopment. Several residents have since contacted The Weekly with questions and criticisms (see Letters page) about the proposal, with one of the biggest concerns being how parking will be provided for potentially thousands of new residents on the prominent Tweed Heads site. A Landcom spokesperson told The Weekly traffic and parking arrangements were yet to be finalised, with detailed investigations now underway. “Traffic and parking are being assessed as part of those technical studies,” the Landcom spokesperson told The Weekly. “This includes looking at existing conditions, potential future conditions and identifying opportunities to minimise impacts.” The former hospital site, on the corner of Powell and Florence streets, is being transferred from NSW Health to Landcom to enable the delivery of up to 800 new apartments which includes up to 10 per cent affordable housing. The proposal represents one of the most significant residential developments

planned for Tweed Heads and comes amid an ongoing housing shortage across the region. Landcom said the project remained in its early stages and stressed that community feedback would play an important role in shaping the eventual development. “Landcom is shaping a new neighbourhood on the former Tweed Hospital site,” the spokesperson said. “The project is in the early planning phase and technical studies are underway to inform the concept plan.” Landcom pointed to its experience transforming former government sites elsewhere in NSW, including Sydney’s former Prince Henry Hospital, which was redeveloped into a mixed-use community containing more than 1,000 homes. The agency is also redeveloping the former WestConnex site at Annandale into 577 homes. “These both offer a blueprint for what’s possible on the former Tweed hospital site,” the spokesperson said. The redevelopment is also expected to provide improved public access to the waterfront, new shared pedestrian and bicycle paths and increased tree canopy. Concept images released for the project are indicative only, with final designs yet to be determined. Apartment prices will also not be known until closer to sales, when design, planning and construction costs and prevailing market conditions can be factored in. Landcom said Saturday’s workshop would not be the community’s only opportunity to have a say.

bers are wearing high-visibility vests. Coles Murwillumbah store managers Steve and Andrew said the team was working hard to deliver an improved shopping experience. “Our team is working hard to deliver a refreshed and updated store for the Murwillumbah community,” the managers told The Weekly. “The upgraded store will give customers more choice and great value across the store for their everyday essentials and more.” Coles has also revealed shoppers can expect improvements to its popular online shopping collection service. “Customers will be able to enjoy the convenience of an upgraded and larger Click & Collect area and an enhanced, modern supermarket experience,” Coles said.

Works have been taking place throughout the store, including around the flooring, although Coles is yet to confirm whether the finished refurbishment will increase the number of aisles. “Good things are coming soon to Coles Murwillumbah!” Coles said. The managers thanked shoppers for their patience. “We would like to thank our customers for their patience while the upgrade work is underway, and we look forward to welcoming them into the refreshed store later this year,” Steve and Andrew said. Coles said further details about the newlook supermarket and its services would be released closer to completion.

Coastal sewage plant decision looms

By Jonathon Howard

THE LONG-RUNNING debate over the future of the Hastings Point Wastewater Treatment Plant is entering a crucial stage, with Tweed Coast residents being urged to have their say on two multi-million-dollar upgrade options before councillors vote later this year. After almost two years of community campaigning over the ageing plant, and a public protest raising concerns about its impact on the sensitive Hastings Point environment, Tweed Shire Council has placed two draft concept designs on public exhibition until September 20. The plant services around 12,860 residents and visitors across Cabarita Beach, Bogangar, Hastings Point and Pottsville, with treated effluent currently discharged through dunes north of Hastings Point.

ital cost of the options in the range of about $66 million to $71 million. Council says both technologies would fully treat wastewater to meet the same EPA requirements and both would continue using the existing dune disposal system. However, members of the Tweed Communities Alliance, which represents 11 community associations, argue the opportunity should be taken to deliver the highest possible treatment standard given the environmental sensitivity of Hastings Point. Cabarita Beach/Bogangar Residents Association vice president and alliance member David Buick said both options would represent a major improvement. “They will both significantly reduce the levels of contaminants in the effluent being pumped to the dunes,” Mr Buick said. “However, the difference will be the total suspended solids pumped to the dunes; that will be twice as much if option 4 is used. “It should also be noted that the contaminant levels achieved in both cases will still be significantly higher than those targeted in similar plants in Queensland.” Mr Buick said the environmental significance of Hastings Point justified considering a higher treatment benchmark. “There is a convincing case to be made that the extreme ecological and biodiverse values of Hastings Point’s vegetation and animal communities, and nearshore environments impacted by the treatment plant, warrant standards as applied to the Great

Council acknowledges the existing plant has performance and reliability problems and can struggle at times to consistently meet NSW Environment Protection Authority licence requirements at its designed capacity. The issue has attracted significant community attention, including a petition with more than 3,000 signatures presented in February 2025. Following an earlier options assessment, engineering consultant Beca Hunter H2O was commissioned to further investigate two shortlisted designs.

Read about the two options

Option 4 would retain and modernise the plant’s Advanced Intermittent Process using three upgraded bioreactors, while Option 5 would convert the facility to a Membrane Bioreactor system using two modernised bioreactors and membrane technology to separate liquids. The study puts the estimated cap-

“The study has also highlighted the fragility of the dune disposal system” Barrier Reef catchment,” he told The Weekly. He said with the engineering estimates putting the options within a relatively narrow capital cost range, the alliance believed there was a strong argument for choosing the option producing fewer suspended solids. “At the level of accuracy used by the engineers, both options are estimated to cost effectively the same so why not build the plant that minimises the quantity of solids being pumped to the dunes?” Mr Buick said.

But the debate extends beyond which treatment technology should be installed, with community representatives again raising questions about the long-term future of the dune disposal system itself. Mr Buick said the engineering study highlighted concerns about its performance during wet conditions. “The study has also highlighted the fragility of the dune disposal system at Maggies Beach,” he said. “During wet weather events, the dunes are incapable of absorbing the full licensed discharge flow, resulting in occasional bypass of partially treated effluent to Christies Creek.” Mr Buick said the community also wanted Council to consider what would happen if coastal erosion compromised the disposal area during the upgraded plant’s operating life. It should be noted that both options include strengthened treatment capacity, upgraded equipment and improved controls, although council highlighted they carry different upfront capital and ongoing operating costs. Residents have until September 20 to make submissions through Council’s Your Say Tweed website.

Man arrested over Bogangar unit fire POLICE HAVE arrested a man after a Bogangar unit went up in flames and the front windows at two businesses were smashed in the early hours of Saturday morning, September 5. Windows were smashed at Drift Clothing and nearby S.E 10 Hair Salon on Tweed Coast Road before a fire broke out at a unit block on the corner of Hastings Road and Banksia Avenue. A local resident said police were already in the main street investigating the vandalism when the fire started. Fire crews were also on the scene of the vandalism and were able to make a quick response, although the unit was already engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived a few minutes

later and could not be saved. Firefighters from Fire and Rescue Kingscliff, Banora Point and Tweed Heads along with Tweed Coast Rural Fire Service volunteers fought the fire and managed to stop it from burning down adjoining units. Firefighters and Tweed Byron Police evacuated occupants from four units within the complex until the area was declared safe. Searches to see if anyone was inside any of the units threatened by the blaze were carried out during firefighting operations. Police were later able to make contact by phone with the female tenant of the affected unit to confirm they were not inside at the time of the fire. The female tenant hadn’t been

seen at the Homes NSW unit for several weeks, according to neighbours, but the man who was later arrested had allegedly been staying there for some time. A Tweed Byron Police spokesperson told The Weekly that following inquiries, police located the 33-year-old man who had been staying in the unit, at a bus shelter at the corner of Hastings Road and Pandanus Parade. “Police attempted to speak with the man; however, when they approached him, he allegedly threatened officers with a hammer and knife,” the spokesperson said. “Officers continued to attempt to speak with the 33-year-old, but when they did, he allegedly threw the hammer towards police and began to walk from the scene continuing to make threats. “Police – using a taser – arrested the man at the scene before he was assessed by NSW Ambulance paramedics and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station.” He was charged with threatening injury to a person with intent to commit an indictable offence (three counts), damage to property by fire/explosives greater than $15,000, and causing less than $2,000 damage to property. The man was refused bail and appeared before Bail Division Local Court 1 on Sunday, September 6.

Residents angry after unit fire A NEIGHBOUR who lives close by in the unit block said she and her partner were woken by an alert from an emergency app on her phone. “It picked up the fire,” she said. “It woke both of us up and I got up and saw all the flames.” She said the blaze was intense enough to damage the adjoining unit, with the tenant and his dog evacuated. “It smashed the window of the unit next door to it,” the resident said. “I felt really sorry for the guy next door, he was there with his dog and he got out but he’s back in there now. “If they hadn’t got it out he might have lost the unit – any of us could have lost our units the flames were that high. “I couldn’t sleep after that.” The flames spread up the exterior wall of an adjoining two-storey unit block. Fire crews remained at the scene for about two hours before handing over to police. The resident said concerns

Brews with a view.

about the unit had previously been raised with Housing (Homes NSW) as the female tenant didn’t seem to be around and there were other people using it. “We’d talked to Housing (Homes NSW) about it before and they gave her a warning – apparently it’s three warnings and then they are out.” “It was a drug house and there were always people coming and going and different people staying,” she alleged. The woman said the complex had once been a good place for older residents. “It was supposed to be Over 55s housing and it was awesome,” she said. “Then they started putting different people in there and it’s been terrible.” She said there had also been many other incidents at the unit blocks and the police were often called in. “Since they moved in there’s been fights and a car got smashed up,” she said. The next morning the resident went into town and saw the damage to the

businesses. “I went uptown in the morning and saw the window at Drift (Clothing) smashed and the hairdressers,” she said. The owners of Drift and S.E 10 Hair Salon expressed their thanks for the community’s support. A neighbour, who also didn’t want to be named, said he was “appalled at how badly managed the complex is by Homes NSW.” “They seem to believe in prioritising the welfare of one or two bad tenants at the expense of everyone else’s health and wellbeing,” he said. “I don’t think they have understood or discharged the duty of care they owe to all other residents and neighbours. “Antisocial behaviour in the complex is not well managed. “Over the course of the last nine years, complaints seem to fall on deaf ears.” Fire and Rescue NSW said the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Slow down for wallabies By Jo Kennett

THE DEATH of three swamp wallabies on Pottsville Road, just west of the Pottsville, has sparked a Council investigation and calls for actions, including reduced speed limits, from residents. “Three swamp wallabies died last week in two separate incidents after being hit by vehicles on Pottsville Road,” Yvonne Gardiner, a Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers volunteer, said. “The adult male, female and joey were trying to cross the road within a well sign-posted wildlife corridor that links the Pottsville Environment Park to the Pottsville Wetlands. “Many animals use this wildlife corridor, including endangered koalas.” Ms Gardiner said a newly constructed fence at 1126 Pottsville Road “has blocked the wildlife corridor, making animals more vulnerable to vehicle-strike as they attempt to navigate the new barrier.” “Wildlife rescuers and Pottsville residents are urging Tweed Shire Council to take action and ensure the new fence is rectified to meet NSW Planning legislation requirements and allow fauna passage under it,” she said. “We ask that drivers please slow down and be alert for wildlife on the roads, especially in known wildlife corridors. “Worldwide data shows that the most common cause of wildlife dying or coming into care is car strikes. “Please always stop if you hit a wallaby on the road. You might save the life of a mother and a baby.”

The property owner didn’t need Council approval to build the fence as the land is considered “exempt or complying development” if it meets the development standards of the Codes SEPP, however the gap at the bottom One of the dead wallabies isn’t uniform and may require work. A spokesperson from Tweed Shire Council said “Council officers have been actively investigating this matter since reports were first received (in early July) and have undertaken a number of enquiries, including a site inspection of the property last week involving compliance and environmental officers.” “Council is assessing the fence against the relevant planning and environmental requirements, including provisions relating to wildlife movement and koala habitat corridors,” the spokesperson said. “As the matter is currently the subject of an ongoing compliance investigation, Council is limited in the level of detail it can provide at this stage. “A report has been prepared for consideration at Council’s meeting on September 17, 2026. “The report title will be publicly available when the agenda is published, Continued on page 18

Tweed crime rates reveal troubling shift By Jonathon Howard

CRIME ACROSS the Tweed Shire is showing a troubling trend over the past decade, with retail theft more than tripling, sexual assaults more than doubling and breaches of bail conditions almost tripling, according to the latest crime data. Data from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) reveals significant longterm increases across several key offences, while the past two years have also seen sharp rises in intimidation, stalking and harassment and breaches of apprehended violence orders (AVOs). Retail theft has emerged as one of the most dramatic changes for the Tweed, rising from 171 recorded incidents in 2016-17 to 570 in 2025-26, while sexual assaults climbed from 56 to 128 and breaches of bail conditions surged from 265 to 748. The latest figures, covering the 12 months from April 2025 to March 2026, paint a mixed picture of crime across the Tweed, with some traditional property and drug offences falling while violence, intimidation and breaches of court orders have become increasingly prominent. The BOCSAR figures cover the 12 months from April 2025 to March 2026 and provide both two-year and 10-year trend analysis for offences recorded across the Tweed Local Government Area. While many major crime categories were statistically stable, the figures reveal some notable movements, including significant increases in in-

“Retail theft more than tripling, sexual assaults more than doubling and breaches of bail conditions almost tripling” timidation, stalking and harassment, which rose 40.4 per cent over the twoyear trend period. There were 490 incidents of intimidation, stalking and harassment in the latest 12 months, compared with 349 in 2024-25 and 416 in 2023-24. Breaches of apprehended violence orders also recorded a significant twoyear increase of 34.4 per cent, rising from 288 incidents in 2024-25 to 387 in the latest reporting period. The longer-term picture shows AVO breaches have been climbing steadily, with BOCSAR recording an average annual increase of 9.5 per cent over the past decade. There were 171 incidents recorded in 2016-17, meaning the number has more than doubled over the period. Breach of bail conditions has also emerged as a major long-term growth area. Although BOCSAR classifies the two-year trend as stable, incidents increased from 630 in 2024-25 to 748 in 2025-26. Over the decade, breach of bail conditions recorded a statistically significant average annual increase of 12.2 per cent, with incidents rising from 265 in 2016-17 to 748 in the latest period. Another striking increase was in the broad “other offences” category,

which recorded a significant 91.1 per cent two-year increase, from 257 incidents to 491. Domestic violence-related assaults increased from 332 incidents in 202425 to 377 in 2025-26, while non-domestic violence-related assaults rose from 361 to 411. Despite those increases, BOCSAR classified the two-year trend for both categories as statistically stable. The longer-term figures, however, show non-domestic violence-related assault recording a significant average annual increase of 3.9 per cent over 10 years. Incidents have risen from 291 in 2016-17 to 411 in the latest period. Domestic violence-related assault recorded a significant average annual increase of 2.1 per cent over the decade, increasing from 313 incidents to 377. Sexual assault has also increased considerably over the longer term, despite its two-year trend being classified as stable. There were 128 sexual assaults recorded in 2025-26, compared with 105 the previous year and just 56 in 2016-17. BOCSAR identified a significant average annual increase of 9.6 per cent over the 10-year period. Retail theft is another crime showing a dramatic longer-term increase. Police recorded 570 incidents of stealing from a retail store in 2025-26, up from 433 the previous year and 171 a decade ago. While its two-year trend was classified as stable, BOCSAR found retail theft had increased by an average 14.3 per cent a year over the 10-year period.

The good news on crime There was better news in several categories, with motor vehicle theft recording one of the most significant recent falls. Motor vehicle theft declined 26.6 per cent under BOCSAR’s two-year trend measure, with 204 incidents recorded in 2025-26 compared with 278 the previous year. Cannabis possession and use also recorded significant falls over both the short and long term. There were 205 incidents in the latest period, down from 248 in 2024-25 and 443 in 2016-17. BOCSAR recorded a 17.3 per cent two-year decline and an average annual decrease of 8.2 per cent over the decade. Possession or use of amphetamines fell even more sharply in the latest period, dropping 42 per cent under the two-year trend measure. Incidents fell from 200 in 2024-25 to 116 in 2025-26.

Other longer-term declines included offensive conduct, down an average 5.1 per cent annually over 10 years, and other drug offences, down an average 6.3 per cent annually. Stealing from dwellings recorded an average annual decline of 2.5 per cent, while “other theft” fell by an average 2.1 per cent annually. Arson also recorded a significant long-term downward trend of 2.4 per cent a year, despite incidents jumping from 32 in 2024-25 to 67 in the latest 12 months. Meanwhile, break and enter offences remained statistically stable. Break and enters at dwellings fell from 212 to 176 in the latest year, while non-dwelling break-ins increased from 102 to 121. Malicious damage to property remained stable, with 627 incidents recorded compared with 648 the previous year, while fraud fell from 441 incidents to 369.

Early start to fire season sparks preparedness push

Preparation is key as bush fire season begins.

The bush fire season has officially begun in the Tweed. The NSW Rural Fire Service brought the Bush Fire Danger Period forward to Tuesday 1 September 2026, a month earlier than other parts of the state. It is the time of year to be ready, not only for fires but for other emergencies too. During the bush fire danger period, you need a permit before lighting a fire in the open, including a burn to reduce fuel on your own property. Permits are free and can be applied for online, at fire.nsw.gov.au/incidents/fire-permits, or through the local Fire Control Centre. This declaration is a timely reminder that every household should have a plan for bushfires, and other natural disasters like floods. This is especially the case in the Tweed, where one uncontrolled backyard fire or flooded causeway can cut off a whole valley for days. Sitting above those important household plans is a plan that can be even more crucial: the one a community makes together. Since 2017 the Tweed has been through 2 major floods, bushfires and a cyclone, which helps us prepare for future emergencies.

Tweed Coast SES Unit Commander Grant "Jack" Frost has worked alongside Tweed communities on their disaster preparation since 2020. "About 85 per cent of effective emergency responses come down to preparation before the event, not the response during it," Mr Frost said. "Communities that have done the work beforehand, that know each other, that have a plan, they can hold until we get there." Byrrill Creek is one of those communities. After the 2019 and 2020 bushfires came close, resident Natascha Wernick asked her neighbours whether they wanted to form a community resilience team. A dozen people turned up on her verandah. They divided the area into 6 neighbourhoods, each with a leader and a buddy. They made sure households had enough food, water and medicine to last if the road was cut off. While the group was established with bushfires in mind, it proved invaluable when the 2022 flood cut Byrrill Creek off for 14 days. "Each leader gets to know their own community and builds up the resilience of that little pod, so it is ready for an event like a flood or a fire," Ms Wernick said. In Tyalgum, retired CSIRO scientist Mic Julien led volunteers who built their own radio network. It keeps Tyalgum, Chillingham and Pumpenbil in touch when the phones go down. They designed it, built it and look after it. Council provided a site on Crown land for the equipment and helped with the grant application. "You can't expect councils and governments to run all the community stuff that's going on," Mr Julien said. "Communities have to help themselves." Since the 2022 floods, Council has helped set up Community Resilience Teams across the Tweed and convenes the Community Resilience Network.

Chook care workshop at Sustainable Living Festival Julie O'Shea can tell you what a backyard hen is worth, and it is not only the eggs. The founder of chicken rescue Who Gives a Cluck is running a free workshop for adults and kids at the Tweed Sustainable Living Festival at Kingscliff on Saturday 12 September, joining more than 20 other workshops, stallholders and entertainers to support residents to make our homes and lifestyles more environmentally-friendly, reduce the cost-of-living, and strengthen the Tweed community in readiness for future climate events. Julie is hosting the Hen Zen Fun workshop for children and will run a separate session for adults covering how to health check a hen, feed one that has gone off its food, give remedies and answer anything else about chooks. Everything she teaches has been tested on her own flock first. "Our charity does a lot of research and when we're really happy it works, we farm it out to everybody," Julie O'Shea said. For the past 6 months, that has meant trialling compressed wood pellets in place of straw, which can harbour lice and mites. Rather than stripping out the coop, she rakes the manure off the top and sifts it, leaving the clean bedding behind. "I'm about to show you how to be a gold digger, because that's what we do," she said. "We sift it, the rest of it stays in there, beautiful and fresh." The manure and leftover vegetable scraps go into rotating compost tumblers, bought with money raised by supporters of the volunteer-run charity.

A well prepared home is more likely to survive a bush fire.

Community Resilience Teams are run by locals and have access to training through the Red Cross. When an emergency hits, they become the link between communities and the emergency services. To start a resilience team in your area or join one, call Council on 02 6670 2400. To develop your own household bush fire plan, go to rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare

Council trivia This week's question How much organic waste does Council collect from residents each year to turn into compost? a) Around 14,000 tonnes b) 1 million tonnes c) 500,000 tonnes d) 2 tonnes

Julie O'shea, from Who Gives a Cluck in front of hen float.

Left to cure for 6 to 8 weeks, she rates the result as the best manure a garden can get. She also ferments the flock's grain, which swells to nearly twice its size and helps stretch the feed budget. The festival is free and runs between 10 am and 3 pm, offering information and inspiration on a range of sustainability topics, including native backyards, energy efficiency at home and emergency preparedness.

Don’t spark a fire. Faces behind the Tweed’s food scene on show at M|Arts Don’t bin batteries. A growing number of battery-related fires across the Northern Rivers is prompting a warning to residents: keep batteries out of household bins. In recent months, batteries thrown into household waste have caused multiple fires in collection trucks and waste facilities, including one incident that seriously damaged a building at a Resource Recovery Centre.

The farmers, cheesemakers and chefs who shape the Tweed’s food culture are the stars of a new exhibition by acclaimed photographer Rob Palmer, opening at Murwillumbah’s M|Arts precinct on Wednesday 21 October 2026. Entwined: Faces of the Tweed launches the opening day of Savour the Tweed 2026. The portrait series captures the growers, producers and culinary talents of the Tweed on Bundjalung Country in their working environments, from farms and workshops to studios and kitchens. Palmer is one of Australia’s most celebrated food and lifestyle photographers, known for his portraits of celebrity chefs. His portrait of sustainable seafood pioneer Josh Niland won the National Portrait Prize in 2020. Now based in Sydney, he lived in Brunswick Heads for many years and holds a genuine connection to the Northern Rivers. “Entwined is a celebration of the food, the people and the landscape of the Tweed’s culinary scene. I wanted to throw some light on the wonderful faces behind the plates. I’ve photographed local people with character, with stories worth hearing,” Mr Palmer said.

Opening night features artist and producer conversations hosted by MC Magdalena Roze, a local DJ, and Mexican plates from Billinudgel’s Rosefina, including ceviche, tacos and chicken mole. How many faces will you recognise?

Notification of designated/integrated development proposal

When a waste truck rolls down the street, most people don't think about the danger that could be travelling inside it. But a hidden battery in a household bin can quickly become a serious fire risk. Many everyday items contain lithium-ion batteries, including vapes, electric toothbrushes, Bluetooth speakers, power tools, e-scooters and robotic vacuum cleaners. When these batteries are crushed in a waste truck's compactor, they can short-circuit, overheat and ignite. Waste truck drivers are trained to dump a "hot load" as soon as smoke appears because fires can spread rapidly. It's a high-risk situation for drivers, waste workers, emergency services and anyone nearby. These fires can also damage expensive community infrastructure and disrupt waste services. The good news is that battery fires are preventable. By keeping batteries out of household bins, everyone can help protect workers, facilities and the wider community.

Development application no. DA26/0438 A development application has been lodged by NSW Public Works seeking development consent for reconstruction of the Walk on Water boardwalk and associated signage at Lot 7104 DP 1113342; Duffy Street, Tweed Heads South and Terranora Inlet, Tweed Heads. Tweed Shire Council is the consent authority for the application. The proposed development constitutes “Designated Development” pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EPA Act – as amended) and Clause 7(1) and Schedule 3 of the accompanying Regulation. The proposed development also constitutes “Integrated Development” pursuant to Section 91(1) of the EPA Act. The following approvals are required in this regard:

How to dispose of batteries safely:

Any person may, during the above periods, make a written submission to the General Manager of Council. It should also be noted that Council has adopted a policy whereby, on request, any submission including identifying particulars will be made public. Council will give consideration to the ‘Public Interest’ and requests for confidentiality by submitters in determining access to submission letters. However, the provisions of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA) may result in confidential submissions being released to an applicant. Any submission objecting to the proposed development must state the ground upon which such objection is made. Please note: Requirements regarding Disclosure of Political Gifts and Donations A disclosure is required to be made in a statement accompanying the relevant development or planning application by a person who makes the application. In addition, a person who makes a written submission either objecting to or supporting a relevant development or planning application must also make a disclosure if the person has made a reportable political donation. Further information regarding Donations and Gift Disclosure are available on Council’s website at tweed.nsw.gov.au/development-applications

• Never place loose batteries or battery-powered devices in any household bin. • Take up to 20 kg of loose batteries, mobile phones and car batteries to Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre. • Drop off loose batteries at a B-cycle collection point at most supermarkets and hardware stores. Devices with built-in batteries, such as vapes, e-scooters and powerpacks and portable charging devices, need special handling and should be taken to a designated embedded battery drop-off site at Ballina, Lismore or Kyogle. Visit newaste.org.au/batteries for more information, or contact Council. It only takes one battery to start a fire and one simple decision to prevent one. Find your nearest location at bcycle.com.au

important opportunity for the Men’s Shed to connect with the local community while raising funds for running costs and a planned shed extension. The group now has more than 100 members, making the extension increasingly necessary. Organisers are encouraging the community to come along, support the Men’s Shed and enjoy the day.

Continued from page 11 and the resolution will be publicly available once a resolution has been made.” Senior Road Ecologist Josie Styles said that because the property falls within a koala movement corridor it has to be “constructed in accordance with the development standards of the Codes SEPP (2008) which it is not.” “If it is located in a core koala habitat or potential koala habitat within the meaning of State Environmental Planning Policy No 44—Koala Habitat Protection or in a movement corridor used by koalas—it must be constructed or installed in accordance with any relevant council policy or guideline under that Policy,” she said. “The Tweed Shire Council Plan of Management (KPoM) 2021 requires a minimum

gap of 300mm under the fence to allow koala movement.” Ms Styles says that while that 300mm gap may not be beneficial to swamp wallabies, it would allow koalas to transit under the new fence. .She is also calling for a reduction to the speed limit reduced in the area. “I think Tweed Shire Council and Transport for NSW should consider reducing the speed from town to the second Seabreeze roundabout (the last one heading west to the highway) to a consistent 40km/hr,” she said. “The signed speed changes three times within a 500m section on Pottsville Road, which is not conducive to good driver behaviour.” The Weekly has contacted the property owner for comment.

Crude oil price surges By Jo Kennett

DESPITE SOARING oil prices, the price of fuel around the Tweed has been relatively stable but is likely to go up as last week’s Brent crude rise flows through to the bowser, though a rising Australian dollar is helping to stabilise prices. The price of oil at the moment is largely dependent on what’s happening in the Middle East. There seems to be a fair bit of bluster from both sides but renewed military strikes between the United States and Iran over the past two weeks have seen Brent, the global crude oil benchmark, soar by 10 per cent last week. That’s huge and not a good sign. It’s getting close to $100, after dropping from a high of $114 in May, down to $71 in July, and was down around $60 per barrel before this whole fiasco began. After the fuel excise discount was dropped at the start of August, prices jumped around 15 or 20 cents but have been relatively stable since, mostly sitting just over the $2 mark. That jumped a little with the argy bargy in the Middle East, with Hastings Point on Monday, September 7, selling Unleaded 91 for $2.09 and $2.11. It was as high as $2.30 at the Ampol in Uki. You could get Unleaded 91 for $2.069 at the old faves in Murwillumbah, and many service stations around Tweed, with the lowest price on offer $2.01 at the Pearl Energy Tweed near Tweed Mall. Diesel is currently sitting around $2.50 to $2.60 per litre, which is a lot. Although it apparently had no impact on oil prices, the images of American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln limping into a Thai port

Mama Eri fuels me up with $2 a litre petrol

like some Panamanian-flagged rust bucket do little to lift confidence in America. That’s what the American people are getting for their $1 trillion defence budget as the boss demands more be spent by allies like us on defence, most of which goes to US military manufacturers. Crazy stuff, to say nothing of the 5,000 sailors who hit Pattaya after spending 286 days, more than nine months, stuck at sea. The mind boggles. Along with plenty of other Tweed locals, I’m currently doing a bit of R&R in Indonesia, where fuel costs are surging as the rupiah weakens and oil prices soar. Prabowo’s government is maintaining historic fuel subsidies to ease pressure on household budgets and win votes, with unleaded petrol averaging around $1.42 AUD. There’s a catch with the subsidies, though. There are two types of petrol sold at service stations and only one, 90 octane, is subsidised (79 cents per litre) and it’s hard to find. That’s why there are big lines at servos here, although locals I spoke to reckon time is money and they just pay the higher price, which can be closer to $2 (92 octane). Indonesia’s 287 million people, with roughly 139 million motorcycles, which are cheaper than cars, provide a huge potential EV market, and there’s a big push to manufacture cars, bikes and batteries locally.

Khanacross roars for Father’s Day By Jonathon Howard

THE DUST was flying for the return of the Murwillumbah Sporting Car Club’s biggest Khanacross on record, attracting 50 competitors and around 400 spectators for a special Father’s Day, Sunday, September 6. After almost 12 months of weather delays, Murwillumbah Showgrounds grass course finally came alive for the popular driving test event, with the course extended by around 50 per cent to include a longer straight and challenging corners. Competitors ranged from a 12-year-old hot shot driver behind the wheel of a Hyundai Excel through to a 79-year-old motoring veteran, also piloting the trusty Excel. The inclusive event featured many young girls and boys who were amongst those testing their skills, while the paddock featured an eclectic collection of machinery including custom classics, European vehicles, Holdens and Fords and some vintage Japanese favourites. Pedders Suspension and Brakes owner, club treasurer and longtime Khanacross sponsor Peter Clarke said it was a relief to finally get competitors back on the course. “The rain had put off the Khana-

cross for almost 12 months, which was devasting for the club and its members,” he said. “However, this latest event, with such an amazing turnout, has proven once again that we can put on a driving excellence course and event that’s top standard in Australia.” The record event has also strengthened the club’s determination to establish a permanent home where events could be held more regularly and with less disruption from wet weather. “We are currently in talks with Tweed Shire Council in relation to some flood buyback land in the industrial area, that could become our official new home and track, pending approvals. “The site could also be used for other sporting events and shared across multiple community organisations, watch this space.” The inclusive nature of the day was highlighted by a visit from All Ability Garage, which supports people with additional needs to get behind the wheel and participate in motoring activities. Father’s Day added another special element, with plenty of dads helping their children tackle the tests of driving skill and enjoying some proud moments trackside. Read the Khanacross results and date of the next event on page 25.

MURWILLUMBAH FIREFIGHTERS were called to a late-night crash in Murwillumbah after a vehicle collided with roadworks equipment parked alongside Commercial Road. Murwillumbah Fire and Rescue NSW Station 391 responded to reports of a single-vehicle crash at approximately 10.30pm on Monday, September 7. Firefighters said they arrived to find the vehicle with significant front-end damage after it had struck roadworks plant equipment parked beside the roadway.

Fortunately, emergency crews found no occupants inside the vehicle and there were no immediate signs anyone had been injured in the collision. “Police also attended the scene, with the occupant of the vehicle subsequently returning and assisting officers with their inquiries,” Murwillumbah Fire & Rescue said. The incident prompted a reminder for motorists to drive to the conditions and within their capabilities, particularly around roadworks and other roadside hazards.

Specialising in repairing & servicing Subarus

JOHN PANOZZO has taken outright honours in Round 5 of the Baden Civil SEQ Kcross Series, topping a 50-strong field at the Murwillumbah Sporting Car Club’s Pedders Suspension and Brakes Khanacross on Sunday, September 6. While this is not a race but instead a driving practice, it’s always nice to know who was quickest on the day. Panozzo produced a commanding performance behind the wheel of his white Renault Clio, recording a total time of 396.8 seconds to become the only competitor to break the 400-second mark. Jason Roberts claimed second outright in his Suzuki Sierra with a time of 405.7 seconds, while Brock Phillpot completed the podium in his turbo Holden Astra on 409.8 seconds. Allan Griffin was fourth in another Holden Astra with 415.6 seconds, followed closely by Aidan Hambly, who steered his Subaru Impreza to fifth outright in 417.5 seconds. Ford Fiesta driver Harry Nielsen secured sixth with a time of 419.8 seconds, ahead of Aiden Boresch in a Honda Integra on 424.5 seconds. Tegan Smith and Henri Pyyvaara could hardly be separated, both recording 426.8 seconds in their Subaru Impreza and Volkswagen Golf respectively, while Cohen Brown rounded out the top 10 in his Subaru Impreza with 427 seconds. Just outside the top 10 was Ollie Apps in 11th aboard his Mitsubishi Lancer, followed by Matthew Davidson and Amy Davidson in

their Subaru WRX. The results also highlighted the wide variety of vehicles taking to the course, ranging from modern turbocharged Subarus and Holdens to Scott McDermott’s classic Isuzu Bellett, which finished an impressive 14th outright. The top 20 outright results were: • John Panozzo – Renault Clio – 396.8 • Jason Roberts – Suzuki Sierra – 405.7 • Brock Phillpot – Holden Astra Turbo – 409.8 • Allan Griffin – Holden Astra – 415.6 • Aidan Hambly – Subaru Impreza – 417.5 • Harry Nielsen – Ford Fiesta – 419.8 • Aiden Boresch – Honda Integra – 424.5 • Tegan Smith – Subaru Impreza – 426.8 • Henri Pyyvaara – Volkswagen Golf – 426.8 • Cohen Brown – Subaru Impreza – 427.0 • Ollie Apps – Mitsubishi Lancer – 427.8 • Matthew Davidson – Subaru WRX – 428.5 • Amy Davidson – Subaru WRX – 430.8 • Scott McDermott – Isuzu Bellett – 430.9 • Greg Stuart – Suzuki Hatch – 437.9 • Peter Henderson – Mitsubishi Lancer – 441.5 • John Higgins – Holden Astra Turbo – 442.9 • Cameron Garth – Mazda 121 – 445.2 • Matteo McDermott – Isuzu Bellett – 446.5 • Michael Vlaanderen – Hyundai Getz – 446.5 The next Khanacross event is scheduled for Sunday, 15th November at the showgrounds.

Sweet Talk with Robert Hawken

00222 Sunshine Sugar HP

THE CANE planting season has commenced in our area, with growers making the most of the recent dry weather. These days most cane planters use global positioning satellite technology to make straight and evenly spaced rows. This greatly assists in subsequent farming operations after planting, including cultivation, spraying, fertilising and harvesting. Cane rows are generally planted between 1.6 and 2 metres apart. Most growers would plant on average 10 per cent to 20 per cent of their total farm area annually, but this will vary from year to year, depending on seasonal conditions and cane variety. By the end of this week, close to 50 per cent of Condong’s crop will have been harvested. The sugar content of the cane is improving and is currently around the 11.5CCS level. Ratoons from the already harvested fields are starting to grow back strongly with the warmer Spring weather, and fertilising and weed control are well underway. A small amount of cane, up to 200 tons per day is being delivered from the Woongoolba area, north of the Gold Coast. This is being supplied by one of the growers from that area and the operation is largely an exercise to determine the feasibility of long-distance cane haulage. The NSW crop tonnage is not as high as first estimated, with all three mill areas, Harwood, Broadwater and Condong all cutting below estimate. On a bright note for growers and millers, the world sugar price is slowly increasing, which will help the NSW Sugar Industry

in the longer term, particularly with the ever-rising costs of production. Bye for this month. Best wishes to all TVW readers. Rob Hawken.

Update from the cane fields TWEED VALLEY Farming manager David Bartlett updated Sweet Talk from the field this week and said he’s struggling regular staff as the season approaches halfway point. David said the season started a little damp, but conditions have since improved with dry whether he’s aiming to wrap up on December 3. “Harvesting is continuing and planting has also started, with around 15 per cent of the fields replanted each year,” he said. David manages about 1,100 hectares of cane each year with a team of around 15 workers.

He said one of the ongoing challenges was securing enough seasonal staff, particularly drivers and workers across other key areas of the operation. This year’s team includes workers from a range of countries, including Germany, Chile, Estonia and France, with one Estonian worker returning for his second season. David said the international workers had formed a great team, but finding locals and other Australians willing to take up seasonal agricultural work remained a regular challenge. “We have only one apprentice, but the biggest issue is that it’s only a seasonal job and locals want more regular work,” he said, wishking everyone a strong and safe season.

IN MARCH 1891, the Lands Department gazetted 10 acres of land for a showground in Murwillumbah and a further 5 acres were added in 1899. Requests to the Government for financial assistance to run the early shows were unsuccessful. However, in 1899, the Minister for Agriculture and Mines granted the show society the use of an imported bull. The bull called ‘Captain’ was transported on the ship S.S. Electra to Byron Bay and from there travelled to Murwillumbah by rail. Committee members were expecting an Ayrshire but as ‘Captain’ was loaded off the rail carriage, it was clear that he was a Holstein. Despite the initial disappointment, farmers paid 15 shillings per service and ‘Captain’ became very acquainted with many of the local cows, helping to build up the milking herds. The Committee was able to use the funds raised from Captain’s service, to contribute towards building facilities on the showground. By 1900 there were five imported bulls from the Department of Agriculture, that were being supervised by the Society, including an Irish bred Kerry bull, known for its quiet temperament. The Society applied to the Lands Department to have all the ‘common’ land west of Queensland Road added to the grounds and this was eventually granted in 1911, making the Showground 22 acres and one of the largest showgrounds in the state at the time. Today, the Murwillumbah Showground is home to one of the state’s most successful country agricultural shows, thanks to the dedicated volunteers of today and of generations past. Plans well underway for the 2026 Show, being held on 30 and 31 October and planning has already commenced for the 125th Murwillumbah Show to be celebrated next year. Readers are welcome to submit recollections, photos and historical articles about the Murwillumbah Show via admin@murwillumbahshow.com to contribute to the historical story of community and agriculture in the Tweed.

ONE OF The Weekly’s closest Footy Tipping competitions in recent years has gone down to the wire, with Tweed Coast Murwillumbah Pool Shop owner Ray Thomas claiming the 2026 crown and a whopping $1,500 prize. Ray edged out Victory Hotel Mooball owner Scott Polglase, who had led the competition for several weeks before Ray

made his move across the final round. Scott finished runner-up, collecting $500 for his efforts after a terrific season of tipping. The Weekly also had three tippers tied for third place, with Danny from Barbers on Main, Dean from D&L Custom Cabinets, and Fruity and Fluffy from Tweed River Motel each receiving $100.

“Thank you to The Weekly for another great year of tipping,” Ray said, who plans to spend his winnings on gifts for the family. Scott also thanked the paper and said his $500 was going straight into savings. The Weekly Sales Manager Eryn Young thanked everyone who took part. “It was a lot of fun this sea-

The Roosters are dead set limping into the finals but I’d be wary of them. I’m leaning the Warriors way to make it through if they can get a result this week in NZ. I just like the style of footy they play and how they can bunker down if needed.

at success early with the 18’s taking on Cudgen in a semi final rematch. Northern United will be extremely hard to beat again in the women’s and Bilambil will bring half the valley to Murwillumbah as the Reggies take on the Nic Asser led Byron Bay. First grade will be an absolute beauty with Casino destroying Marist Brothers in Cougarville last week for a shot at redemption against the Stangs after the game of the year in the semi two weeks ago. Murwillumbah will be confident on home turf and will look to star centre Adam ‘Stretch’ Walker and NRRRL lock of the year and former NRL star Bodene Thompson to bring the trophy back to Murwillumbah for the first time since 2016. What I do know is that Casino will bring plenty of people, the crowd will be big and the game will be a beauty. Congrats to the junior winners from the weekend and good luck to all of those playing in the Tony Titans Cup this weekend which is the crossStorm Bulldogs over between group 18 and group 1 for Northern Rivers Roosters Warriors glory.

WITH EIGHT CONCERTS, the Tyalgum Music Festival features fine music without the formality, in a landscape as majestic as the performances. From Friday, September 25, until Sunday, September 27, the picturesque village becomes an unlikely centre of classical music, with the sounds of opera, Chopin, Mozart and Bach wafting through the fields and hills of the ancient caldera. The weekend opens on Friday with Opera Queensland’s Young Artists performing Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro at the Tyalgum Community Hall. Saturday begins with a free nature walk before the music takes over: emerging performers, Schubert’s much-loved Trout Quintet and Mozart, followed in the evening by William Walton’s witty Façade. Later, Brad Leaver and Swing Central swap classical restraint for Sinatra and swing. Sunday brings Queensland Symphony Orchestra principal harpist Emily Granger, pianist Konstantin Shamray performing Chopin alongside the animated film The Magic Piano, and a finale of Handel, Vivaldi and Bach. The Weekly caught up with one of the performers for an insider’s view of the experience. Violinist Courtenay Cleary will be celebrating the Baroque with a chamber music ensemble playing concertos by Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel. “There is something very special about bringing the classics to Tyalgum, one of my absolute favourite places,” Courtenay said. “These works permeated my formative musical years as a young child and still remain very close to my heart. Presenting this music can often seem tricky for musicians, simply because it is so well known. Putting one’s own stamp on it, and convincing an audience that there is still something unique to discover in your interpretation can be daunting. However, this is something in which I find so much joy. “Each time I open the score of the Bach Double Concerto or Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, I discover something new, both about the pieces and about myself. The twists and turns in Bach’s counterpoint summon many layers of

UKI IS getting a front-row seat to reality television, with cameras, tradies and production vans transforming one quiet village street into a working set for Channel Nine’s Budget Battlers. Former Block favourite Jess Eva is hosting the new season and was joined on set by actor and singer Melissa Tkautz to transform bricks into furniture. “Usually, when the director calls ‘we’re rolling’, it means say your lines from a script,” Jess told The Weekly. “But on Budget Battlers, it means turning besser blocks into DIY decor.” At the centre of the Uki episode is homeowner Gemma Martin’s former Murwillumbah station master’s cottage, which endured devastating floods in 2017 and 2022. Rather than be demolished, the historic home was cut in half, transported to a vacant block in Uki and carefully rejoined, swapping the floodplain for a new beginning on higher ground. Exactly what Jess and the team are creating inside remains under wraps at the production’s request. The Weekly has an unusually close view of proceedings, with this reporter living directly beside the renovation and watching Uki become an outdoor television studio. Reality television has not arrived quietly. Early starts, heavy machinery, repeated camera setups and production vehicles spilling beyond the building site have tested the patience of those living alongside it. At one point, filming activity left this reporter’s driveway blocked with 6 crew cars sprawled over the front lawn.

Yet the disruption is difficult to separate from its purpose: helping a local family bring a twice-flooded home back to life after an extraordinary journey. Filming has also revealed how much work sits behind a few apparently effortless seconds of television. Simple exchanges are reset, movements refined and sponsor mentions carefully folded into the action. After one attempt, a producer called across the site: “It started pretty horrendous, but it ended pretty Home and Away.” That may be reality television in one sentence: real people, real building problems and a carefully constructed moment designed to look completely spontaneous. For now, the transformation remains secret. Nine has not announced when the Uki episode will air, but the production has already given one village street a storyline of its own.

When women stop accomodating By Rada Campbell

MEN GROW DISTINGUISHED. Women get sold collagen. Our culture has built an economy around treating the ageing female body as a problem to soften, supplement or solve. Smiths Creek researcher and women’s health therapist Sharon Moloney, PhD, believes menopause tells a far more interesting story. Her conversation with podcast host Lisa Fitzpatrick reached beyond the body to questions concerning everyone: whose wisdom do we value, and what does a community lose when experience becomes invisible? On Fitzpatrick’s Feminine Body Speaks podcast, Sharon shared a teaching about three stages of female power. “At menarche, a young girl enters her power. During her menstruating years, she practises her power, and at menopause, she becomes her power.” For Sharon, embodied power is not about learning the correct language or performing empowerment. Menopause brings a desire for authenticity and less willingness to accommodate everyone else. “We’ve got a really good bullshit radar,” she told the Weekly. “Something can sound like all the right things, but our bodies resonate with something that’s authentic.” Sharon compares that recognition to sympathetic resonance between instruments: strike a chord on one guitar and another guitar across the room begins to vibrate. It is an image that reaches beyond menopause. Who has not overridden a gut knowing because logic, politeness or somebody else’s comfort appeared more reasonable? Sharon believes women are often schooled out of this instinctive intelligence. Menopause offers what she calls “a big turning of the wheel back” - an opportunity to come home and become less willing to dismiss the feeling that something does not add up.

Dr Sharon Moloney, says menopause can be a time of becoming rather than decline

Her approach is also explicitly concerned with power. While completing her master’s degree in women’s studies, Sharon learned to ask who holds power, how it is exercised, who benefits, who is disadvantaged and how unequal relationships can be disrupted. Those questions have informed a lifetime of personal exploration, decades of professional work with women and doctoral research into women’s spirituality. Her PhD examined Australian women’s bio-spiritual experiences of menstruation and birth, including how shame surrounding female biology shapes women’s relationships with their bodies and authority. Sharon is not suggesting difficult menopause symptoms should be wished away or that medical care should be rejected. She is challenging the assumption that the end of fertility marks the beginning of female decline. “A menopausal woman who has appropriated her power knows her own wisdom and worth, and is unafraid to be a truth-speaker,” she said. Perhaps menopause is not an expiry date or another self-improvement project. Perhaps it is when a woman stops overriding what she knows - and starts saying it aloud.

Craft prize legacy for Riki By Jonathon Howard

A MOTHER’S love for her daughter is being turned into a lasting legacy, with the inaugural Riki Funari Youth Craft Prize to be awarded at this year’s Murwillumbah Show. The prize has been created in memory of Murwillumbah woman Riki Funari, who died suddenly on December 5, 2025, aged just 36. For her mother, Jenni, the initiative is a way to ensure Riki’s generosity, creativity and love of craft continue to touch the lives of young people in the community. Riki was remembered as a “beautiful, heartfelt soul” who loved those close to her and was always willing to help others. “She supported anyone in need and spontaneously shared whatever she had,” Jenni said. Craft was far more than a hobby for Riki. It was a way to connect with people, create moments of happiness and encourage others to discover their own creativity. “She was not solely for her own pleasure, it was the way that she spread joy to friends and family and inspired others to also launch into the world of crafting,” Jenni said. Riki was known for her delicate paper flowers decorated with beads and buttons, as well as her intricate quilling work. She also enjoyed craft days with friends,

often spending time teaching their children and helping them discover the joy of creating something by hand. The youth prize will be open to entrants aged 13 to 17, with four categories – paper, jewellery, leather, and textiles and yarn. Jenni has established a perpetual fund with a local financial institution, with annual interest providing cash prizes for young craft exhibitors. Riki’s grandmother, Annette, and sister, Gemma, are also supporting the initiative, with the Tweed River Agricultural Society – the organisation behind the Murwillumbah Show – honoured to help preserve Riki’s memory. “For Riki it allowed her to develop confidence, generosity and to experience the joy of giving even when she was facing challenges. I hope the craft prize encourages many more young people to express their creativity and to find a focus when times are difficult,” Jenni said. The Society said Riki’s love of craft would continue to encourage and reward young people for many years to come. The Murwillumbah Show is made possible through the generous support of sponsors and volunteers, with the Tweed River Agricultural Society thanking Tweed Shire Council for its $11,000 grant towards the 2026 Show. Details of the prize and how to enter will be announced later this year.

CAPILLI CUSTOMS SINESS FEATURED BU WHEN IT comes to transforming a home, local carpenter Isaac Capilli believes the best results come from quality craftsmanship, attention to detail and a personal approach. Isaac is the owner and operator of Capilli Customs, a locally owned carpentry and microcement business servicing the Tweed Valley, Tweed Coast, Northern Rivers and southern Gold Coast. A qualified carpenter, Isaac works across everything from home renovations and alterations to decks, outdoor areas, framing, internal fitouts, custom doors and detailed timber features. Custom projects are a particular passion for Isaac, as he loves the challenge of creating something unique or finding clever solutions to improve an existing space. Being the owner and operated also means clients deal directly with Isaac throughout the process, from the first conversation and planning through to the hands-on work and finishing touches. Alongside traditional carpentry, Capilli Customs is expanding its specialised microcement services. “Microcement is a thin, seamless decorative coating that can deliver a

0478 123 820

natural stone or concrete appearance across walls, floors and wet areas,” Issac explained. “It is becoming a popular option for bathrooms, kitchens and feature spaces, particularly for homeowners seeking a modern finish without traditional grout lines.” By combining carpentry, renovation skills and microcement, Capilli Customs can also help take projects through multiple stages while reducing the need to coordinate several different trades. With a strong focus on renovations and character homes, Isaac works closely with clients to ensure new additions complement the existing property while meeting their style, practical needs and budget. Customers praise Capilli Customs online: “His work is excellent. His work is professional, he is reliable and he takes great pride in his work,” one happy customer wrote via Google reviews. “For Capilli Customs, the goal is straightforward: reliable, personalised service and quality work designed to stand the test of time,” he said. To find out more, give Isaac a call on: 0478 123 820.

Diamond Anniversay for Byron and Merle By Jonathon Howard

SIXTY YEARS after a chance meeting at a dance sparked a lifelong romance, Banora Point couple Merle and Byron Ross are preparing to celebrate a remarkable milestone, their diamond wedding anniversary. On September 10, 1966, two young sweethearts promised to walk through life side by side. Sixty years later, that promise has become a story of love, laughter and family. Their daughters, Narelle Watt and Michelle Lamberth, reached out to The Weekly to share their parents’ story as family and friends prepare

to celebrate the special occasion. Merle and Byron first met at a dance in Toowoomba, Queensland, where romance blossomed. They married at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Toowoomba on September 10, 1966, before settling in Millmerran, west of Toowoomba, where they established a successful accountancy practice they operated for 40 years. Along the way came daughters Michelle and Narelle, followed by sons-in-law John and Chris. In a beautiful family coincidence, Narelle also married Chris on September 10, 2005, the same date 39 years later that her parents were married.

The family grew again with the arrival of grandsons Declan in 2010 and Mitchell in 2012, bringing enormous joy to their grandparents. Merle has maintained a treasured tradition of collecting the boys from high school once a week for afternoon tea, while Byron has enjoyed playing cards and chess with them over the years. After retiring to the Tweed Coast in 2003, Merle and Byron made Banora Point home. Byron has since created a spectacular garden, where he spends plenty of time accompanied by his German shepherd, Captain. Retirement has also brought opportunities to travel across Australia and overseas, with family Christmas cruises and a trip to Fiji for Merle’s 70th birthday among their treasured

memories. They continue to enjoy dining at local restaurants and spending time with family and friends. Through changing times, challenges and triumphs, Merle and Byron have remained firmly by each other’s side. Their recipe for 60 years together is refreshingly simple: working together, laughter and love. They acknowledge no relationship is perfect but say remembering their successes and the love and bond they share has helped carry them through. Now, 60 years after saying “I do”, Merle and Byron remain a beautiful example of a prom-

ise kept and a life walking side by side. Happy diamond anniversary, Merle and Byron. Love, laughter and family has kept the couple looking fabulous INSET Byron and Merle found their love 60 years ago this month

Hockey Tweed Grand Finals Look on the bright side! By Jonathon Howard

MURW ILLUMBAH V IPERS have capped off a thrilling day of women’s grand final action at Hockey Tweed, claiming premiership victories in both Division 1 and Division 3. The grand finals were played at Hockey Tweed Turf in Murwillumbah on Saturday, September 5, with juniors taking to the field earlier in the day. Division 1 produced a nail-biting finish between Murwillumbah Vipers and Casuarina Sharks. Locked at 1-1 with just 20 seconds remaining, the match appeared destined for a shootout before Murwillumbah secured a late penalty corner. The Vipers made the opportunity count, converting to snatch a dramatic 2-1 premiership victory. Casuar ina goalkeeper Connie Schmidt-Lierman produced an outstanding performance, denying several Murwillumbah chances in the first half and earning Player of the Grand Final honours. Murwillumbah’s Matilda Stuart was named the 2026 Player Sportsperson. There was more shootout drama in Division 3 after Murwillumbah Vipers and Kingscliff Pelicans finished regulation time locked at 2-2. Five players from each side were selected to go one-on-one with the goalkeeper, with just eight seconds to score. Murwillumbah eventually prevailed 3-2 in the shootout. Waratah Falcons secured the Division 2 women’s title with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Pottsville Phoenix. Patria Flint was named Player of the Grand Final, while Isabel Topper received the 2026 Player Sportsperson award. The under-14 grand final delivered another thriller, with Kingscliff defeating WaraVipers 5-4 after two rounds of shootouts. Meanwhile, the men battled for grand final berths in their preliminary finals. Casuarina Black defeated East Lismore 2-1 in Division 3, while Casuarina Sharks overcame Kingscliff Vikings 2-1 in Division 2. In Division 1, Northern Star booked its place in the decider with a 2-1 victory over Waratahs. All three men’s grand finals will be contested in Lismore on Saturday, September 12.

people and nature. I love to freeze the moment.” Marie France and her husband Tony arrived in Uki in 2007. She became a full-time artist producing sculptures, paintings and hosting workshops. She exhibited widely in the Northern Rivers and the Gold Coast as well as regularly in Quebec, the place of her birth and upbringing. It was the natural world and her local community that inspired her and which resonate in Marie France’s work today. Tragically Marie France died in June this year but she leaves a wonderful collection of work that brings joy to all that see it. This exhibition runs until October 14 in Uki.

Spring fashion show By Jonathon Howard

COLOURFUL SPRING fashions took centre stage as more than 90 women gathered for a funfilled day of fashion, friendship and fundraising at a fantastic VIEW Fashion Parade hosted by the Twin Towns Day VIEW Club. Held at South Tweed Sports Club on Thursday, September 3, the event featured a “Fans” theme, with the latest spring fashions presented by U and I Designs. A big thank you to the VIEW Club members Lesley, Von, Annie, Jenny and Linda who modelled the colourful spring fashions this year. Guests enjoyed lunch, laughter and friendship with VIEW members from surrounding communities, with Zone Councillor Di Lutze and past National Presidents and councillors also attending. The parade was a major success, raising much-needed funds to support the club’s seven Learning for Life students. VIEW, which stands for Voice, Interests and Education of Women, has more than 13,000 members nationally, all working to support children’s education in partnership with The Smith Family.

AN EXHIBITION, titled ‘A Retrospective’ by Marie France Rose, is being hosted in Uki’s CBD. These works have the innocence and freshness of children’s paintings. They are naive and yet they are much more. They have an adult’s wry humour and are consciously depicting an optimistic world; a world at its very best. Marie France started out as a sculptor but over the years she developed a unique process in which she combined her sculptural skills with painting. She began to sculpt small figures and objects that she then attached to a canvas and painted. The result is an integrated relief painting. For example her delightful ‘Banga Market’ depicts a cast of sculptured colourful characters. A man sits under the tree playing a guitar, a woman sells bags at her stall, and another squeezes oranges for fresh juice — all of this is done with tiny pieces of clay that are then painted. The relief paintings in this exhibition can be divided into those produced between 2010 and 2024 like ‘Banga Market’, and her final series of 2025 ‘Every dog and his man’ which are small comical studies of people walking their beloved pooches. Marie France used to say: “I love observing

The models were our lovely members Lesley, Von, Annie, Jenny and Linda

The organisation has declared 2026 “Your Year to Volunteer”, with members generously giving their time to support students and follow their progress. Twin Towns Day VIEW Club meets on the first Thursday of each month at South Tweed Sports Club at 10.30am for an 11am start, with visitors always welcome.

Five Tweed teams play for grand final glory By Jo Kennett

AFTER ALL the training, the injuries and the hard work put in by our NRRRL teams, it’s grand final time, with minor premiers Murwillumbah hosting all games at Murwillumbah Leagues Club on Sunday, September 13. It’s going to be a huge day, with a rematch of the First Grade Mustangs versus Casino qualifying final — apparently the game of the season — as they go head-to-head once again for the silverware. Casino lost that one 22-20 but booked their grand final spot with a big 48-10 win over Marist Brothers on the weekend. They’re coming into the big day in great form, but if there’s one team that has already shown they have what it takes to get the win, it’s the Mustangs. So go get ’em, boys! The Bilambil Jets booked their spot in the Reserve Grade grand final with a huge 52-0 win over the Tweed Heads Seagulls, including 10 tries. The Jets went down to Byron Bay 14-12 in an absolute cliff-hanger in the qualifying final a week earlier, and now they have their chance for redemption. They’re on fire at the moment and certainly looking the goods for the title. They came close when they last met, and now they’ll be hoping to get the job done. We’re right behind them.

Best of luck to you, boys, and bad luck to the Seagulls after a fantastic year. See you back in 2027. In the Under 18s, minor premiers Murwillumbah will take on Cudgen, who secured a surprise 14-12 win over the Mustangs in the qualifying final. Cudgen secured their grand final spot after the Mustangs bounced back to take down Tweed Heads 38-12 on the weekend. Bad luck to the Seagulls, and may the best team win this Sunday. In Ladies League Tag, the Tweed Heads Seagulls will play Marist Brothers, who they beat 10-6 in the qualifying final. Marist Brothers beat the Mustangs 22-4 on the weekend to secure their spot in the decider, after a great season from the Mares. Best of luck to the Seagulls ladies! Ballina beat Bilambil 20-16 in Women’s Rugby League to book a grand final berth against Northern United. Bad luck to the Jets ladies after an epic year. Also, a special mention to Suzie Ziebell, who won the NRRRL Award for Services to Rugby League at the recent awards night. There is no more deserving winner. It’s going to be a massive weekend at Murwillumbah, so get down and support our local teams. Check out the schedule on your local club’s social media page. Best of luck everyone.

I’ve always loved real estate and was naturally drawn to the industry. My background in advertising and sales gave me a strong connection with local businesses and the community, so real estate felt like a natural next step.

DID YOU DO ANYTHING INTERESTING BEFORE YOU WENT INTO REAL ESTATE?

IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR TYPE OF PROPERTY OR PART OF THE INDUSTRY YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF MOST EXPERT IN OR PASSIONATE ABOUT?

Before real estate, I worked in advertising and sales with the Tweed Daily News and the Tweed Valley Weekly. I also teach aqua aerobics for seniors at South Tweed pool and the Senior Citizens Hall pool, which I love. Both roles have given me great communication skills and the opportunity to meet wonderful people.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE THE MOST ABOUT WORKING IN REAL ESTATE?

Definitely the people. I love meeting people from all walks of life and helping them through such an important time in their lives. There’s nothing better than helping someone find a place they can call home.

I’m passionate about people. Every client and property is different, and I enjoy understanding what people need and helping them achieve the best possible outcome.

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST CHANGES YOU HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE MARKET IN • 6/24 Recreation St, Tweed Heads, 2:30–3pm

DJ Stringer

RECENT TIMES?

The market has certainly had its highs and lows. At the moment, I’d describe it as slow but steady. Properties are taking a little longer to sell, which is good for buyers as they have more time to ask questions and get pre-approval if they haven’t already.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR SELLERS?

Look beyond the headlines and don’t get too caught up in the media hype. Well-presented properties are still selling, and having the right strategy, presentation and realistic expectations can make a big difference.

WHAT ABOUT BUYERS? ANY ADVICE?

Again, look beyond the headlines and focus on what’s happening in the local market. Know what you can afford, do your research and don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

I love spending time with my family and our Cavoodle. Family is incredibly important to me, and I really value that time together. 11.30–12pm
