A 3,150-SIGNATURE petition backed by swimming champions Flynn Southam and Moesha Johnson and a growing number of Tweed councillors has sparked the strongest push yet for a 50-metre indoor pool at Recreation Park.

Supporters will rally outside South Tweed

Regional Aquatic Centre on Monday ahead of the petition being considered by Council, demanding the Olympic-sized pool be delivered as part of the current $160-million project rather than deferred indefinitely.

Campaigners say the Tweed has waited long enough. Read more inside.

By Jonathon Howard

A 3,150-SIGNATURE petition, with the backing of sporting champions and strong support from most Tweed Shire councillors, has fuelled the biggest push yet for a 50-metre indoor aquatic centre to be included in the proposed Tweed Regional Indoor Sports and Aquatic Centre at Recreation Park.

About 25 to 50 supporters are expected to rally outside the South Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre on Monday, August 17, calling on Tweed Shire Council to commit to the 50-metre Olympic-style pool as part of the current project — rather than defer it to a future stage.

Petitioners gathered for a photo with The Weekly this week, with community advocates Sylvia Turner and Faye Rowles among those leading the campaign alongside Councillor James Owen.

The petition has been formally submitted to council ahead of its August 20 meeting.

Cr Owen has received support from Tweed swimming stars including Commonwealth Games gold medallist Flynn Southam and Olympic silver medallist Moesha Johnson.

“As someone who grew up in the Tweed and has gone on to represent Australia in swimming, I know firsthand how important access to quality sporting facilities can be for young people,” Southam said.

Johnson, whose swimming journey began with Learn to Swim in the Tweed, has also urged residents to support the campaign.

“I think this is a really important facility

for us to have access to,” she said.

For campaigners, the proposed $160-million project would be a major investment in sport, health and recreation across the Tweed and southern Gold Coast, with government infrastructure funding potentially helping make it achievable.

Council has completed a feasibility study into the proposed integrated indoor sports and aquatic centre, although staff are recommending the indoor sports component proceed first, with the 50-metre pool deferred to a future stage with no time frame or funding attached.

Cr Owen said the community needed to push for both facilities, and many locals agree.

“This isn’t about choosing the pool over the sports centre. We need both,” he said.

“The feasibility study itself found both are needed, together – the staged approach is a staff recommendation, not a conclusion of that study.”

The campaign follows the closure of the privately owned Banora Point Oasis 50-metre pool in 2022, leaving northern Tweed without a 50-metre pool of its own.

Campaigners point to the busy Palm Beach 50-metre pool which is the closest facility and forces Tweed swimmers to travel to the Gold Coast.

Petitioner and local Faye Rowles, who has been involved in swimming for 45 years, said she had previously fought unsuccessfully to retain the Banora Point pool.

“I’ve been involved in swimming in this region for 45 years, and I’ve watched generation after generation of Tweed kids without a proper 50-metre pool to call

their own,” she said.

“Every family in Tweed Shire deserves access to a decent pool close to home.”

Petitioner and spokesperson Sylvia Turner, who has been involved in aquatic fitness for 35 years, said the community had waited long enough.

“This community has been waiting far too long for a 50m pool of our own,” she said.

“This rally is about showing Council that we’re not going away – we want this pool, and we want it built now, not pushed off to some future stage that never comes.”

In a late update, Sylvia said she had received responses from both Geoff Provest MP and Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot indicating their “interest and wish to meet with the group once council has voted on the integrated centres”.

Supporters say a new indoor 50-metre facility would provide a year-round home for competitive swimming, schools, learnto-swim programs, aquatic fitness and the wider community, while helping keep young athletes training locally.

The peaceful, family-friendly rally will be held at 8.30am on Monday, August 17, outside South Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre, 18 Heffron Street, Tweed Heads South.

The petition will be considered at the August 20 Council meeting at Murwillumbah Civic and Cultural Centre, with the Public Forum at 9.10am and meeting at 11am.

Debate over indoor sports priorities THE ONGOING debate over the future of indoor sporting and aquatic facilities in the Tweed has intensified, with Tweed Shire Council moving to clarify its position while local sporting groups push for urgent investment.

Council has confirmed it is considering proposals for a new indoor sports and

aquatics centre at either Recreation Park in Tweed Heads, Kings Forest, or a combination of the two locations.

However, council has stressed that the proposals remain in the planning stages and will need to be considered by councillors before any decision is made.

In a statement issued to clarify what

it described as misinformation, council said consideration of a new facility did not mean the closure of existing pools at Kingscliff or South Tweed.

“It’s not true that the outcome of the decision to build a pool at either of these places will mean that the pools...

Left-Handed Day is on August 13 A poem by Maggie Cadman

For all you lefties out there we’re here for you today Some of you were even told that’s not the right way.

I’m not a leftie myself but my husband is, It’s a right-handed world he knows all about this.

Door handles the wrong side, not where they should be Handles turned away even having a coffee But today is your very own day The world is ready to see things your way.

Lefties rule righties say for too long you’ve gone unsung Even though we’re the majority and have been so long.

It’s harder for us to do left than for you to do right We may have the advantage but you have the insight.

Sir Paul McCartney knows first hand The trials of a leftie, and was in one of the world’s greatest bands.

Left-handed golf clubs are hard to find, And can be more expensive, let’s bear that in mind.

There’s just 10% of you you’re a rare breed You work things out and can face any need.

So lefties your it we salute you today We admire your determination and endurance in your own special way.

Is mathematics really that essential?

The multi-billion-dollar NAPLAN tests need to consider that not all students are intellectually able (at various levels) with mathematics and literature; with such skills as grammar, expression and punctuation.

Research over decades has already

proven this to be true.

The recent NAPLAN results indicated education experts may be barking up the wrong tree. Instead of the annual exhaustive, and frustrating NAPLAN tests, serious consideration could be given to putting the ritual tests on the back burner for a few years and assessing where we are going with these expensive tests.

Not surprisingly, a recent comment about the effect of having laptop computers in classrooms as having a declining effect on students’ writing skills was concerning.

I would welcome Woolies in Murwillumbah

Yes, to a Woolworths in Murwillumbah (TVW, August 6, page 1 & 5)! We need another supermarket in, Woolworths please!

We need more competition, in my view, and a broader range of products and with a bit of luck a better shopping experience.

Woolies progressing offers opportunities

The proposed redevelopment of the Woolworth’s-owned site in Murwillumbah offers a unique opportunity for the town and surrounds (TVW, August 6, page 1 & 5).

We are currently seeing an explosion in the uptake of electric vehicles, no less so in the Tweed.

What Murwillumbah critically lacks is a significant charging facility along the lines of a Tesla Supercharger outlet.

Such a facility would provide a winwin for both the public and Woolworths. For the public it would provide fast and economic charging not just to locals but to vehicles travelling to and from the West.

For Woolworths it would draw customers who could ‘shop and charge’ as well as providing the ‘social licence’ that the project has been lacking.

Furthermore, it could provide the basis for Tweed Shire Council to

Michael Perry, Tumbulgum

Tweed Heads is not the Gold Coast

I want to express my concerns for the proposed redevelopment of the old Tweed hospital site featured in The Weekly.

I understand we need homes for the Tweed, but to add 800 apartments on the old hospital site is ridiculous is my opinion.

I do not want the Tweed Heads to be just be an extension of the Gold Coast with high-rise buildings jammed in everywhere.

When will there be any kind of public consultation?

“There is no masterplan” surgery, the ‘University Campus’ is ‘we are talking to universities’.

“Plus there is now no mention of the mental health hospital…..the list goes on.

“The bottom line is there is no masterplan, the significant infrastructure issues outlined by Tweed Shire Council and agencies have been relegated to the DA (Development Application) stage and there is no guarantee that the proposal is even feasible for this site.

“So why rezone this protected farmland and risk the operations of the existing Cudgen Plateau farms for a developer-led proposal that is not included in any of our strategic plans.”

Others support the project, saying there is a need for more health facilities and accommodation in the area.

MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest has delivered a Notice of Motion in NSW Parliament on Wednesday, August 5, on the Northern Regional Planning Panels recommendation to allow the Cudgen Connection private development.

Mr Provest noted that the Northern Regional Planning Panel has recommended that State Significant Farmland be rezoned to allow the Cudgen Connection private development to go ahead.

He told parliament that the Tweed community, including elected local, state and federal representatives, oppose the rezoning and any further development on State Significant Farmland at Cudgen.

Mr Provest called on the Minister for Planning, Paul Scully MP, to refuse the Cudgen Connection proposal.

The proposal for the $300 million development was given the green light by the Northern Regional Planning Panel in July.

The 5.7-hectare site at 741 Cudgen Road, next to the Tweed Valley Hospital, has State Significant Zoning.

When the decision was made to build a new hospital at Cudgen, rather than continue with redevelopment plans at the old hospital site, Mr Provest promised that the approval wouldn’t result in any more State Significant Farmland on the Cudgen Plateau being lost.

The Kingscliff Ratepayers and Progress Association (KRPA) took to social media to thank Mr Provest.

“This proposal, if approved, will result in loss of State Significant Farmland and a quadrupling of building height limits,” a spokesperson from the KRPA said.

“And in the proponents’ own words the ‘promised’ private hospital is just a day

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Hospitals are getting slammed

By Jonathon Howard

Self-driving cars are coming and the law needs to catch up

TWEED AND wider Northern NSW hospitals are continuing to experience heavy patient demand this winter, with residents urged to consider alternative healthcare options before visiting an emergency department for non-life-threatening conditions.

The latest data from Northern NSW Local Health District shows emergency departments across the region’s 12 hospitals, including Murwillumbah and the most busiest Tweed Valley Hospital, have treated an average of 636 patients a day between July 27 and August 2.

That was 22 more patients a day than during the same week last year.

NNSWLHD Executive Director Clinical Operations Lynne Weir said hospitals were extremely busy and expected demand to increase over coming weeks.

“If your condition is not life-threatening, please consider calling Healthdirect on 1800 022 222 for fast and free health advice,” Ms Weir said.

A registered nurse can assess a person’s condition and direct them to the most appropriate care, including local urgent care or virtual healthcare services.

The district’s Patient Flow Unit is also monitoring demand across emergency departments and working with NSW Ambulance and the NSW Health System Operations Command Centre to safely redirect suitable patients to hospitals with available capacity.

Ms Weir said the district had increased inpatient capacity, strengthened discharge

Self-driving cars will be allowed in some supervised locations in 2027 in the first step to autonomous vehicles becoming legal in Australia, under a timeline set by state and federal transport ministers.

Currently it is illegal for a fully autonomous vehicle with no human in control to operate on Australian roads. Although some vehicles already allow for limited driver input, operators of motor vehicles are still required to provide manual input consistently throughout journeys.

Ministers are finalising an “Automated Vehicle Safety Law” which would provide a national framework for autonomous technology which is already operating in some parts of the world.

Limited use of cars with “supervised self-driving” has begun in Australia on cars such as Tesla, which its maker says can follow routes from start to finish, handle intersections, stop at traffic lights, avoid collisions and emergency situations – but they must have a driver at the wheel ready to take over when things go wrong.

And go wrong they often do… with reports of failure to interpret road signs correctly, lane changing that confuses other drivers, parking awkwardly, malfunctioning in bad weather, braking suddenly for no reason, failure to recognise debris, potholes, lane dividers or emergency vehicles; and not knowing where to go when satellite coverage is weak.

Worse still, automated systems often don’t respond well to people or animals and can’t predict what they will do, whereas an experienced driver should.

But as Ethan Brightmore at Stacks Law Firm warns, formulating laws to govern self-driving cars confronts even bigger problems.

“Who is legally liable when a self-driving car is involved in an accident – is it the person sitting behind the wheel who was not driving at the time, or is it the manufacturer of the technology that failed to avoid the accident, or caused it?” Mr Brightmore said.

“Governments anticipate fault will need to be attributed in accidents and automated driving functions should be the responsibility of a corporate entity, not the human occupants. But there are bound to be legal and commercial questions on whether the car maker is held responsible, or the auto-driving technology developer, or both.

“Any future legislation will need to make absolutely clear which corporate entity has legal responsibility, or legal liability cases could be held up in courts for long periods, further harming any accident victims seeking compensation.”

In February a Florida judge ordered Tesla to pay $US243 million damages for an accident that killed a woman and severely injured a man, after a Tesla on autopilot sped through a stop sign and crashed into a stationary car. Clearly there is still work to be done in the automated vehicle workshops.

“We urgently need indoor sporting facilities in the Tweed!” the group stated in an online campaign and petition.

The association is urging residents to support a staged approach to delivering indoor sports facilities and an aquatic centre, saying it would ensure the project becomes a priority and ultimately a reality.

“We currently have zero public indoor sports facilities,” the group said.

Tweed Valley Basketball said it, along with other local indoor sporting clubs and associations, wanted to ensure future facilities catered for a broad range of indoor sports.

The group is also promoting a petition

calling for support for the proposed staged approach and has directed residents to an independent feasibility report examining the potential facilities.

Council maintains there is no plan to close the Kingscliff or South Tweed pools, sporting groups are continuing to advocate for a significant investment in new facilities.

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you feel there’s a need for a staged development of the indoor sporting facility and eventually a pool?

Or do you believe both should be pursued immediately? Send your thoughts and letters via email: editor@theweekly.net.au

“That is not part of our plan.”

Council said the investigation was consistent with its Sport and Active Recreation Strategy 2023-2033, which was endorsed in 2024.

The strategy provides a framework for future sport and recreation infrastructure across the Tweed as the population continues to grow.

Meanwhile, Tweed Valley Basketball is calling for urgent action to address what it says is a major shortage of indoor sporting facilities.

Tweed Valley Hospital is among the many health services getting slammed this winter

planning and expanded community-based care as part of its winter preparations.

Healthy North Coast CEO Monika Wheeler said residents could also help reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses by getting vaccinated and staying home when sick.

“If you are unwell and need to leave home, please wear a mask and avoid high-risk settings including aged care and hospitals,” Ms Wheeler said.

Ms Wheeler also reminded residents about the Medicare Urgent Care Clinics at Tweed Heads and Goonellabah.

Caba development plans spark concern

By Jo Kennett

PLANS IN the Draft Growth Management, Housing and Employment Strategy to expand medium-density housing in Bogangar have prompted concerns from residents about increased building heights, traffic, parking, block size, overshadowing and loss of character.

The proposed Cabarita Beach Urban Renewal Area would extend the existing R3 Medium Density Residential zone west of Hastings Road into a 73-lot residential area bounded by Cabarita Road, Banksia Avenue, Ti Tree Avenue and Oleander Avenue, currently zoned R2 low-rise residential (one to two storeys and maximum 9m).

The draft describes the proposal as “a logical and minor extension to the existing R3 zone” that can be developed over time “as demand and infrastructure capacity permits.”

The strategy would allow a mix of housing including dual occupancies, terraces, multi-dwellings and four-storey residential flat buildings, with longer-term expansion south to Poinciana Avenue if community need and infrastructure capacity can be demonstrated.

It also creates the potential for adjoining residential lots to be amalgamated for redevelopment.

While the proposal affects 73 house blocks, the Cabarita Beach & Bogangar Residents Association (CBBRA) says existing R3 zoning along Hastings Road, Tweed Coast Road and Cabarita Beach east of Tweed Coast Road already provides capacity for

an additional 73 dwellings.

“Within the current zoning there is sufficient land to increase population density and provide extra housing and employment to cater for essential workers and for businesses to develop,” a CBBRA spokesperson said.

The association is also concerned about building heights and overshadowing.

“Banksia and Oleander avenues run east to west so shading is going to hit your neighbours in the morning and the afternoon,” the spokesperson said.

“If developers make 10 per cent as ‘affordable housing’ they can go up an extra 30 per cent in height, currently the height limit is 13.6 metres.”

That could, in theory, increase building heights to 17.68 metres, or four to six storeys.

“30 per cent extra in height is concerning – not that anyone is against affordable accommodation – it should just be within the current limits of 13.6 metres in R3 zones.

“You should have to provide affordable housing within the rules, not extend the rules.”

Residents are also concerned about parking pressures, particularly in parts of Banksia Avenue that flood and where basement parking may not be feasible.

The CBBRA says increased onstreet parking could prevent trees being planted under Tweed Shire Council’s Cool Towns strategy.

The association also fears the proposal could change Cabarita’s community identity if more apartments are used for Airbnb.

“The Cabarita Beach/Bogangar Residents Association are very concerned about the Urban Renewal plans for Caba because it will change the character of our town dramatically from a place where people actively participate in a range of groups and activities to a place strangers visit and exploit without contributing,” the spokesperson said.

“The character of our town is through the involvement of the community in clubs, schools, Dunecare etc but with more Airbnb’s you have fewer people involved in those things.”

The draft strategy also proposes another urban renewal area between Cypress Avenue and Palm Avenue as part of a broader plan identifying urban renewal sites across the Tweed Shire.

A Four Corners investigation revealed that Australia’s affordable housing schemes largely fail low-income earners, instead offering significant planning windfalls and density bonuses to private developers with minimal long-term public return.

The investigation also found some government-backed developers had sought to end affordable housing leases early or exceed approved height limits.

In Senate Estimates, in response to questions from Senator Barbara Pocock, it was revealed that nearly 1,500 homes purchased under the federal government’s five per cent deposit scheme, many in new “affordable housing” apartment developments, had been converted into investment properties after income caps were

Boss cops fight night success TWEED BYRON Police District Superintendent Chris “The Sherriff” Schilt went toe-to-toe with former district boss Dave “The Mess” Roptell in a special exhibition bout at NSW Police Boxing’s Fight Night 2026 on Friday, August 7.

Supt Roptell, who previously led the Tweed Byron Police District and now heads the Richmond Police District, faced off against his successor in a closely fought match at South Sydney Juniors.

While there was no official winner, with the bout staged as an exhibition,

the real victory came outside the ring, with the event helping push total fundraising for NSW Police Legacy past the $1 million mark since the boxing events began in 2012.

Tweed MP Geoff Provest attended the event and described it as “an incredible night,” praising the commitment of police officers to supporting the families of fallen colleagues.

He singled out superintendents Schilt and Roptell, both Police Citizens Youth club (PCYC) Tweed Heads Boxing Team members, for their leadership and fundraising

efforts, saying their commitment demonstrated how police continue to look after their own.

Supt Roptell said it was a great night.

“He’s an experienced boxer and we had a good fight,” Supt Roptell said of Supt Chris Schilt.

“There were no winners because it was an exhibition bout but we still gave a good account of each other.

“It was the first time we’ve fought each other but we spar against each other in training a lot, we are still part of the PCYC Tweed Heads Boxing

Team.

“We were raising money for Police Legacy, for our fallen colleagues to support their loved ones, so it’s really a good cause.

“We were happy to jump in and show our wares and support a great cause.”

Supt Roptell said he was working hard on his defence and was okay the next day.

“I had to, he’s a good boxer,’ he said.

“I love boxing, it keeps me honest and keeps me fresh and lets me keep soldiering on in the police, so it’s good.”

TWEED POLICE are warning residents to remain alert to scammers posing as Census officials ahead of the 2026 Census.

Residents are being reminded that genuine Census officials will never ask for money or banking details, offer prizes or contact people through social media or messaging apps.

Police are urging residents never to share passwords, financial information or identity documents with anyone claiming to be a Census representative.

“All Census Field Officers wear an Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) identification card while undertaking Census work,” the ABS said.

Field staff may also carry a yellow satchel, with their ABS identification card providing confirmation of their identity. Residents who are unsure about someone claiming to be a Census worker are encour-aged to stop and verify their identity before providing any information.

Phone found in search for Patrick Liedke

By Jo Kennett

A MOBILE phone, believed to belong to missing man Patrick Liedke, has been found during a search at Cobaki on Saturday, August 8.

The renewed police search was initiated following the discovery by community search volunteers of Patrick’s wallet, identification and money his sister Nicole believed to be his, on July 3.

The items were found around one kilometre from where Patrick’s car was located after he went missing in 2024.

NSW Police Land-based Search and Rescue (LANDSAR) coordinated the multi‑agency operation across the Piggabeen and Cobaki bushland on Saturday.

During the operation, search teams located what is believed to be Patrick’s mobile phone, along with additional money, in the search area.

They have been taken by NSW Police for forensic examination.

The search required teams to navigate steep ridges, gullies and dense lantana, with volunteers and emergency service personnel working together in challenging and hazardous terrain, according to Nicole.

The operation involved NSW Police, the Police Dog Squad, State Emergency Service (SES), Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA), Rural Fire Service (RFS), NSW Ambulance, and St John Ambulance, alongside family and dedicated community volunteers including Find our Lost Loved Ones (FOLLO), Missing Person Search Net-

work Queensland and Sun State Search.

FOLLO grew out of the volunteer-led search for missing Belgian backpacker Celine Cremer whose remains were found earlier this year in bushland in Tasmania.

Nicole, who has been organising searches for her brother since he went missing, said the phone was found in the same area as the wallet.

“It’s like a dried creek bed, Cobaki Creek,” Nicole told The Weekly.

“When we did the search in July and found the wallet, money was found along the creek bed and further money was found by volunteers on Saturday. I believe it was Rural Fire Service (RFS) volunteers who found the phone.

“We had St John Ambulance and paramedics to support anyone if they got injured.

“We had four teams and I was with the SES team going from the bottom up and Tweed District Rescue (VRA) and the RFS went from the top down and also at the end we all got a bus up the top again and we all went down together which was really nice.

“There were also police searching on the ground and the dog squad, but all the searches were within a 300 metre circumference of where the wallet was found.”

Nicole said FOLLO has offered ongoing support to find Patrick.

The police suspended the search on Saturday but a team of volunteers who have supported Nicole in her search efforts since Patrick went miss-

ing, helped her continue searching on Sunday.

“I’m very grateful for finding his items, particularly after such a long time of not finding information,” she said.

“It’s really promising and I’m really grateful for those volunteers in those agencies and also the civilian volunteers.

“Some of them have been searching with me since 2024, so I just feel incredible gratitude.

“It’s very heartwarming to see all these people.

“There were lots of hugs. They are very, very kind, making sure people are okay because it was very challenging.

“We went down gullies and you needed to plan your descent.

“Everyone did a risk assessment and safely descended but you need to be able to climb up hills and go down steep hills and there is also lots of lantana so you’re getting cuts from that.

“I was with the firies and police at the end and we descended a ravine.”

Local SES volunteers joined Tweed Shire RFS and Tweed District Rescue Squad volunteers in the search.

“They were beautiful, just wonderful people,” Nicole said.

“I recognised some of them from the other searches.

“We had a really good turnout and I really appreciate all the people coming.

“I’d really like to thank the volunteers for their ongoing support. I really appreciate them.

Nicole Liedke has never stopped searching for her brother

“It was so nice to see them all back there again.

“They are beautiful people, they give up their time and expertise to assist people. They are really kind and caring towards you and they are just really compassionate people.

“We are just really lucky to have people like them. You draw great strength from them and also all the community volunteers and the police and everyone who is assisting to look for Patrick.”

Chinderah fire update A RECENT report on a fire at Homestead Holiday Park incorrectly stated that, while two homes were destroyed, two others that suffered smoke and heat damage remained habitable.

That was incorrect.

A resident in a third home, Bob O’Kane, has been unable to return to his home of 24 years because of extensive smoke and water damage.

Apologies to Bob’s family and friends for the error in the previous report.

The Weekly has tried to contact park management for further comment.

Washing machine exchange TWEED HOUSEHOLDS struggling with living costs are being urged to take advantage of a NSW Government program offering new water and energy-efficient washing machines for $250.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest updated The Weekly on the offer which allows eligible pensioners, veterans, social housing tenants and low-income households can trade in an existing top-loading washing machine for a new 8kg front-loader.

“This is a practical program that puts money back into the pockets of households while helping people replace older, less efficient appliances,” Mr Provest said.

Participating households are expected to save about $300 a year through reduced water, electricity and detergent use, as well as around 20,000 litres of water annually.

The subsidised package includes delivery anywhere in NSW, professional installation, a two-year warranty and removal and recycling of the old washing machine.

Mr Provest said the savings could make a

significant difference for households watching their budgets.

“For families and pensioners watching every dollar, those savings can make a real difference to the household budget,” he said.

He also encouraged eligible residents to apply early, saying previous rounds had been extremely popular.

“The Tweed is a growing community and it is important that we continue to support practical measures that improve water efficiency while providing genuine cost-of-living relief,” Mr Provest said.

Eligibility and application details are available through the NSW Government’s dedicated portal via: https://l1nq.com/sbs81lq

After attracting thousands of visitors in 2025, the Tweed Regional Museum Street Party returns on Saturday 5 September, bringing live music, art, food and family fun to the heart of Murwillumbah.

The free event will transform the Museum precinct into a vibrant celebration of creativity, culture and community from 3 to 8 pm.

Now in its fourth year, the Street Party has become one of the Tweed's most anticipated annual events.

For one afternoon and evening, Queensland Road will close to traffic and open to people, creating a lively pedestrian village where visitors can wander on foot between performances, workshops, food stalls and interactive experiences. The transformation of the street is a key part of the event, turning the Museum precinct into a welcoming space for the community to gather, connect and explore.

Music, art and a street full of light: Museum Street Party returns

Museum Street Party comes alive again on 5 September 2026.

Last week, we each used

Tweed Regional Museum Acting Director Erika Taylor said the event showcased the creativity and community spirit of the Tweed.

"The Street Party is one of those special events that brings people of all ages together," Ms Taylor said.

"Whether you're dancing, creating art with your children, exploring the Museum after dark or simply catching up with friends, there's something for everyone. It's a celebration of what makes the Tweed such a creative, connected and vibrant community."

A major highlight this year is The Light Within, an immersive installation by artist Matthew Aberline and Beautiful and Useful Studio. The artwork will fill the precinct with 16 glowing "secret garden" gazebos featuring colourful patterns and hidden creatures, creating a magical experience after dark.

The main stage program includes performances

by Stiz Fusion, Benny O'Dwyer, Ella Fence, Birren and Buttered, following a Welcome to Country by Bundjalung Elder Uncle Franc Krasna.

Families can enjoy giant outdoor games, face painting, a Kids Adventure Game, roaming theatre performances and a Silent Disco at the Jam Van. Visitors can also join free creative workshops, explore hands-on activities and step inside the Museum to discover Ritual, the Museum's latest exhibition exploring the traditions and shared experiences that connect people across the Tweed.

The report summarises water quality across the Tweed River, Terranora and Cobaki waterways, and the region’s 3 coastal creeks, using data collected between 2024 and 2026. Water quality at 64 monitoring sites was assessed against NSW Water Quality Objectives for aquatic ecosystem health and swimming.

For updates, the full program and event information, visit museum.tweed.nsw.gov.au/street-party

Council’s Waterways Program Leader Tom Alletson said the report provides a long-term picture of waterway health across the Tweed.

“Water quality changes constantly with rainfall, tides and seasonal conditions, which is why we look at trends over several years rather than individual results,” Mr Alletson said.

Key findings from the 2024–2026 report show the Lower Tweed Estuary and Terranora Creek and Broadwaters achieved an A grade, while the freshwater reaches of the Tweed River and Mooball Creek received B grades. The Mid and Upper Estuary and Cudgen Creek were graded C, while the Rous River, Cudgera Creek and the tributaries of Cobaki and Terranora Broadwaters received D grades. These low scores reflect a combination of issues, such as catchment runoff, degraded riverbanks and inputs from stock and wildlife.

“Healthy catchments lead to healthy waterways.

Actions such as fencing creek banks, planting native vegetation and preventing erosion can have significant benefits for water quality. All of these actions require cooperation between Council, landholders and the wider community,” Mr Alletson said.

Flood restoration program leaves lasting legacy

Development application determinations

Tweed Shire Council has completed the final building restoration project from the 2022 floods, delivering more resilient community facilities across the Tweed.

The final works at the John Rabjones and Les Cave Sports Facility in Murwillumbah mark the completion of a $6.8 million program that restored about 40 flood-damaged community buildings.

Project Director Flood Restoration Kurt Heidecker said the program focused on building back better to help facilities recover faster after future flood events.

"These upgrades will help reduce damage, minimise downtime and get community facilities back in use sooner following severe weather," Mr Heidecker said.

The Murwillumbah sports facility received upgrades including flood-hardened canteen works, improved drainage, grandstand improvements, resilient clubhouse materials, a new roof and an upgraded car park. These works were funded by the NSW Government's Office of Sport through the Sport Priority Needs Program, Essential Community Sport Assets Program and Community Assets Program.

Across the program, Council incorporated floodhardy materials, raised electrical systems and other resilience measures. The approach helped secure the reinstatement of flood insurance for Council's building assets and earned recognition at the 2025 Statewide Mutual Risk Management Excellence Awards.

Council has now restored all buildings damaged in the 2022 floods, leaving a stronger and more resilient network of community facilities for the future.

Tweed music students make history

THE REGION’S farmers are enjoying the recent fine weather after such a wet Autumn and Winter, and it’s good to see signs of Spring appearing. The cane harvest is now progressing well after wet ground conditions in June and July made the task very difficult. Cane growers are now busy trying to catch up on ground preparation for cane planting, as these tasks are well behind schedule, with planting due to start in late August.

Mill performance has been quite good to date, despite a sometimes, poor quality of cane supply with CCS (sugar content) being lower than normal.

However, CCS levels are now improving with the warmer days of Spring approaching, helping to ripen the cane.

To date, the crop is only doing ninety percent of the original tonnage estimate, but I believe this will improve in coming weeks.

Currently only 26 per cent of the crop has been harvested, putting us behind the progress target.

Occasionally the question is asked, ‘Why is cane burnt before harvest in NSW when it is not burnt in Queensland?’ To start with, the assumption is not quite factual. Almost all of the cane in NSW is burnt before harvest and much of the cane in Queensland is cut green, but the decision to cut green or not depends predominately on agronomic circumstances which vary greatly from district to district.

In the Burdekin River area of the Queensland dry tropics, almost all cane is burnt, and the Burdekin region is Australia’s largest sugar producing area.

However, in southern and central coastal Queensland most cane is cut green. The great

variation in climate, topography, rainfall, irrigation practices and soil types is what determines the agronomic characteristics applicable to each area, and these influence each area’s farming and harvesting processes.

The climate in NSW cane growing areas is very different to Queensland’s cane growing regions, basically because our area is much cooler and wetter, and it therefore requires different farming practices.

I would like to thank our local canegrowers, harvester crews, truck drivers and mill staff for their patience and perseverance in what has been a challenging start to the season’s harvest.

We look forward to continuing warm weather for a happy harvesting period.

Best wishes, till next month, Rob Hawken

Students getting ready at the Opera House

Ms Phelan said the opportunity demonstrated what could be achieved when talented regional students were identified and supported.

“This invitation recognises what North Coast students can achieve when talent is identified locally, nurtured by expert teachers and given room to grow,” she said.

The North Coast region was represented by a further 162 students participating in choirs and individual performances throughout the week.

The Festival of Choral Music began in 1947 and continues to provide NSW public school students with opportunities to perform challenging music, work with specialist musicians and conductors, develop ensemble skills and experience professional concert conditions.

For the Banora Point, Kingscliff, Bilambil and Uki students, the week provided a memorable opportunity to showcase the musical talent coming from Tweed public schools while helping write a new chapter in the festival’s long history.

I’ve removed repetition and some of the broader festival commentary while keeping the Tweed students, historic achievement and North Coast orchestra as the central focus.

Sweet Talk with Robert Hawken

TWEED STUDENTS took centre stage at one of Australia’s most prestigious musical venues, with musicians from Banora Point High School and Kingscliff High School helping make history at the 2026 Festival of Choral Music at the Sydney Opera House.

The students were part of the newly formed North Coast Festival Orchestra, which became the first ensemble based outside metropolitan Sydney to perform a featured item and accompany the combined Festival Choir in the event’s almost 80-year history.

Students from Bilambil Public School and Uki Public School also represented the Tweed in Tuesday’s Australis Concert.

The Festival of Choral Music, held as part of Public Education Week, brought together about 3,300 primary choristers from 116 public schools and two regional choirs, with more than 3,700 NSW public school students performing across five concerts.

The North Coast Festival Orchestra comprised 44 musicians from 13 public schools across the region, with students from Years 5 to 12 performing their own repertoire before accompanying hundreds of primary choristers in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.

Led by music director Annie Phelan from Bellingen High School, the orchestra first came together at the Compass Music Festival at Wiigulga in May. Since then, the young musicians have travelled significant distances and committed to intensive weekend rehearsals to develop into an ensemble capable of performing on the national stage.

“These 44 young musicians represent 13 public schools and communities across the North Coast, and they have shown enormous commitment to becoming one orchestra,” Ms Phelan said.

“The students understand that accompanying a choir is a great responsibility. They need to listen closely, respond to the conductor and support hundreds of singers while also performing confidently as an ensemble.”

GSR are now flood free

By Jonathon Howard

GSR owner Steve Eather is happy with the move

cles back to their owners as quickly as possible, recognising how important a reliable vehicle can be.

Away from the workshop, the pair share another passion – motorsport.

Both have been racing for around four decades, with Steve driving his XJ6 Jaguar and Gary racing a BA Falcon saloon.

Their motorsport history includes competing in the Murwillumbah Speed on Tweed sprints, while Steve also raced a V8 Commodore at Bathurst in 1998.

Their extensive experience around cars and motorsport is another part of what the duo brings to GSR, with practical knowledge and an appreciation for quality workmanship.

To celebrate the move, GSR Motor Sport - Panel and Paint is offering new customers 10-per-cent off during the first month from the new Quarry Road site.

To find out more, give GSR a call on (02) 6672 8677 or visit: Unit 3, 90 Quarry Road, South Murwillumbah.

GSR MOTORSPORT Panel and Paint is now flood free after it moved locations in South Murwillumbah, with the long-established business now operating from Unit 3, 90 Quarry Road (between Techknow Tyres and Luffys Glass).

GSR owner Steve Eather, who has operated the business for around 27 years, said the new flood-free site means peace of mind for his business and valued customers.

“The new workshop is high and dry, meaning customers can be confident their vehicles are safe at all times,” he told The Weekly Motoring.

“We’re still setting up but we’re really happy with the new site. Come and check it out and say hello.”

The move follows years of challenges at GSR’s former premises, which was ankle-deep in 2017, but was almost waist depth during the devastating 2022 flood.

Steve said the 2022 flood required his workshop to be completely emptied, cleaned and refitted – before it could reopen.

The team also emptied the previous site as a precaution during the March 2025 ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred warning.

Now established at 90 Quarry Road, GSR continues to offer a full range of panel and paint services and specialise in those small fiddly jobs and right up to larger repairs.

Steve along with his long-time mate and professional panel beater, Gary Johnston, make up the majority of the GSR team and have worked together for decades.

“We look after our customers and give them the best possible service and make sure our customers are happy and taken care of,” Gary said.

The business also prides itself on getting vehi-

Question car insurance TWEED MOTORISTS are being urged to question rising car insurance premiums, compare policies and shop around before automatically renewing their cover — following a two-year review by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

The review found many Australians were left guessing about why their premiums had increased sharply or repeatedly, while those who contacted their insurer were often able to secure a better deal.

Motor vehicle insurance premiums rose 8 per cent in the 12 months to July 2025, following an increase of more than 42 per cent between 2019 and 2024, adding further pressure to household budgets.

ASIC Commissioner Alan Kirkland said consumers needed clearer information about why premiums were increasing.

“Consumers should not have to guess why premiums have changed,” Mr Kirkland said.

ASIC examined eight insurance brands across five insurers, representing about 72 per cent of the market, and surveyed more than 2,000 Australians.

The review found none of the insurers examined clearly explained the key factors affecting

premium calculations in quote and renewal documents, or why premiums had changed from the previous year.

“Most insurers gave only generic explanations in supplementary documents, with some providing no explanations at all,” Mr Kirkland said.

Price was the most important consideration for 37 per cent of consumers when purchasing or renewing a policy. However, 67 per cent renewed the same type of policy with the same insurer, with 40 per cent of those not contacting their insurer or comparing quotes beforehand.

ASIC found 31 per cent of consumers who contacted their insurer before renewing had their premium reduced without changing their cover.

“That finding shows it pays to ask, with some consumers who challenged their premium increase ending up with a better deal,” Mr Kirkland said.

ASIC is also urging Tweed motorists to check whether paying their premium annually could reduce costs. Some insurers charge more for instalment payments, while annual payments can save consumers up to 20 per cent.

Motoring In The Tweed

Petrol price is up again

By Jo Kennett

THE PRICE of petrol is well over the $2 mark, after the removal of the final half of the fuel discount, with motorists suffering and inflation likely to rise again as a result.

It took a while for the initial 16 cent discount removal to flow through, as the promise of a peace deal in the Middle East kept oil prices down.

The removal of the final 16 cents of the discount on August 2 hit drivers almost immediately after the price of oil shot up when Trump said “it was Iran’s last chance before decapitation.”

Does he even know it’s a country? Then he shocked everyone by backing down (again).

American oil companies and his evil mate over there are loving it.

I took a drive out to the country on the weekend for my mate’s 60th, fueling up first ($2.09 unleaded 91), then heading south to Grafton before taking the winding road up to the top of the Great Dividing Range.

You really have to concentrate, negotiating all the twists and turns, and it’s always a nice surprise to realise you’ve finally made it to the top.

I drove across the New England Tablelands, through Armidale where they had fuel for $1.97, meaning it was going to be a cheaper trip home by at least, say, $4! Okay you’re not going to drive up there to fill up but for those of us of Scottish descent it’s always a bonus.

It was a shock to get out of the car in thongs and a tee-shirt at Uralla, where I was staying the night. I fled to the room I’d booked, cranked the heater up to Darwin temps, made a cup of tea and got under the doona to warm up.

I fell asleep to the sound of dogs howling and semi-trailers barrelling down the highway beside me and woke up to ice on my windscreen.

There was fuel for $195.89 in Uralla, but in Tamworth it was $1.86, way cheaper than home.

I headed off to the party in a lovely little village

and had a great time catching up with old mates, eating mountains of food around a big bonfire (note to self, say no to the Black Russian next time) and listening to live music.

“It took a while for the initial 16 cent discount removal to flow through” Like most of the party-goers I slept in the back of my car under a mountain of blankets, coats, and jumpers and it was still bloody freezing, although by the time I woke up I was sweltering.

The trip home flew by because I was lost in an audiobook I’d downloaded from our local library.

I got home at last light and drove up the headland, opened the window, sucked in the salt air and literally yelled, “Home.” Fortunately nobody noticed and I drove home happy to be back as ever.

No parking on cane pads

By Jonathon Howard

TWEED MOTORISTS and especially visitors are being reminded to please keep their vehicles off cane pads, with residents again raising concerns about cars being parked on privately-owned farmland.

The issue has long been a source of frustration, particularly during the cane harvest when cane pads are actively used, by growers and harvesting contractors.

A recent social media post drew attention after a vehicle was photographed parked on a cane pad again this week, prompting a string of comments from residents.

“Just a friendly reminder that the cane pad is not a car park,” the post read.

“We understand the temptation — it’s flat, it’s convenient and apparently your car felt right at home. But unfortunately, the cane didn’t ask you to move in.”

Questioned were raised as to whether clearer signage could help prevent the recurring problem.

One resident said a proper metal sign stating that the area was private property and vehicles would be towed could be more effective than temporary or makeshift signs.

Another commented that motorists continued to park there because there were “not enough signs nor fencing”, while acknowledging the issue occurred every cane season.

The comments highlighted the ongoing tension between the convenience of the flat, open areas and the rights of cane growers to use their land for farming operations.

With the cane harvest underway, residents are urging motorists to respect private property and find alternative places to park rather than using cane pads as informal car parks.

The message from locals is simple: “if it’s a cane pad, it’s not a car park”.

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think more signage on cane pads is needed, or should motorists simply stay off private property? Send your thoughts and letters via email: editor@ theweekly.net.au

Tweed trio skate to national glory

Final round in NRRRL coming up

By Jo Kennett

WE ARE heading into the final round next week after Round 15 which saw Bilamil go down to Murwillumbah, Cudgen get a big win over the Raiders, the Seagulls lose to Mullum.

It was a big day at Ned Byrne Oval on Sunday, with Cudgen hosting Tweed Coast Raiders for their Old Boys Day and Ladies Round.

The day started with a loss for the Hornets in the Ladies League Tag (LLT) going down 19-16 to the Raiderettes.

In the Under 18s, Cudgen got the win 22-12 and now sit in second place, with the Raiders in sixth.

The Hornets took out Reserve Grade 18-12 and sit in sixth place and should make the finals.

In First Grade the Hornets kept the Raiders to zero while eight different Cudgen players scored a try, winning 62-0 in a game the Raiders would probably rather forget but the Old Boys would have loved.

In another local derby Bilambil hosted Murwillumbah on their Sponsors and Old Boys Day. The Jets ladies went down 12-6 to the Mares in the tackle, and the Mustangs got another dominant win, 44-6, in the Under 18s.

Murwillumbah ground out an 18-18 draw in Reserve Grade and sit in third place, with the Jets still leading the comp.

In First Grade the Mustangs showed why they are the team to beat, winning 38-4.

Unfortunately two Jets players were injured, one in the women’s tackle game and an Under 18s player.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called in at around 1.30pm to assess the teenage boy

Old Boys Day at Cudgen Photo Cudgen Hornets

who had suffered head injuries. He was then taken by road to the Tweed Valley Hospital and is, according to the Jets, “on the road to a strong recovery” and the injured female player is also on the road to recovery. We wish them all the best for a speedy recovery.

It was a massive day of footy at Piggabeen, with the Tweed Heads Seagulls hosting Mullumbimby and celebrating Old Boys Day, Women in League Round and also holding the postponed Indigenous Jersey Auction afterwards at the Cooly Hotel, thanks to the hard work of the Tweed Byron Police.

In the LLT the Seagulls got the win 34-6 and are shaping up to take out the minor premiership.

The Gulls also won the Under 18s, 16-10, and Reserve Grade 50-10.

The Giants got the win, 17-10, in First Grade and in the Women’s League Ballina beat Tweed Heads 24-12.

In the final round next Sunday the Raiders will host their last game against the Seagulls, Cudgen hosts Bilambil and Mullumbimby host Murwillumbah. Good luck, everyone.

THREE TALENTED Tweed roller figure skaters have cemented their place among Australia’s best after blowing away the competition at the 2026 Australian National Artistic Rollerskating Championships in Brisbane.

Held during the July school holidays, the championships brought together the country’s leading artistic roller skaters to compete for national titles, with three local competitors returning home with an impressive haul of gold medals.

Sisters Florence and Annabelle Green, who attend Terranora Primary School, produced outstanding performances across their respective age divisions.

Eight-year-old Annabelle claimed gold in the Under 10 Figures event, while 10-year-old Florence went one better, taking gold in both the Under 12 Free Skating and Under 12 Figures events.

The sisters’ three national gold medals are an extraordinary achievement and reflect years of dedication to the sport.

Florence began skating at five years of age, while Annabelle took to the sport even earlier at just three.

Both girls train locally at Epic Skate Rink with Evolution Roller Skating, the Tweed’s local artistic roller-skating club.

Their success means the Green family has plenty to celebrate, with the sisters proving they can compete with the best young skaters in the country.

Joining the sisters on the national podium was fellow Evolution skater Tiarna Whittington, who claimed the coveted gold medal in the Seniors Ladies Free Skating event.

The event is the highest international grade competition in artistic roller skating, making Whittington’s victory a significant achievement.

It was her first year competing at the elite level after being upgraded following her success as the 2025 National Advanced Free Skating champion.

Whittington has enjoyed a remarkable 2026 season, winning the Queensland Championship, two gold medals at the Victorian Championships and a silver medal in New Zealand before adding the national title to her collection.

She skates representing Evolution Sports and works at Epic Skate Tweed Heads, where she remains closely involved with the local skating community.

The Nationals being held at Mt Warren in Brisbane also allowed many of Whittington’s friends and family to attend and share in the excitement of her gold-medal performance.

For the Tweed and Northern Rivers, the results are a proud reminder of the depth of talent being developed locally.

With three national champions returning from Brisbane with gold around their necks, the region’s roller-skating community has plenty of reason to celebrate.

Baseball is back

By Jonathon Howard

JUNIOR BASEBALL is returning to Murwillumbah with the Northern Rivers Baseball Association launching the new Murwillumbah Hawks at Stan Sercombe Oval this month.

The Hawks will join five other junior teams across the Northern Rivers – the Tweed Heads Astros, Banora Point Tigers, Kingscliff Bears, Byron Panthers and Pottsville Sharks – providing children aged four to 12 with the opportunity to learn the game, develop their skills and make new friends.

The summer season gets underway on October 10, with players from across the region coming together each Saturday morning for fun, light-competition games.

Rookie League will cater for seven to nineyear-olds, while 10 to 12-year-olds will play in the Little League Minor division.

Younger players aged four to six can take part in a 10-week T-Ball program, designed to introduce children to the basic skills of baseball in a fun and supportive environment.

All newly registered T-Ball players this season will receive a free ball and glove.

Games will be played at one ground each week, rotating between Stan Sercombe Oval in Murwillumbah, Arkinstall Park in South Tweed and Brunswick Sports Field at Brunswick Heads.

The format is designed to bring families together each Saturday while giving young players the chance to experience playing against teams from across the region.

Families wanting to give baseball a try before committing to the season can attend special ‘Come and Try Baseball’ mornings at Stan Sercombe Oval on Sundays, August 16, 23 and 30,

from 9am to 11am.

Children can have a go at hitting and throwing while families get a feel for the sport and meet the people behind the new Murwillumbah Hawks.

Families can attend more than one Come and Try day, while those who register at Stan Sercombe Oval during their first visit will receive a free Northern Rivers Baseball cap, valued at $20.

Baseball is a gender-neutral sport, with boys and girls welcomed to play together on the same teams.

Northern Rivers Baseball Association president Adrian Moses said the association was looking forward to welcoming local families and getting junior baseball underway in Murwillumbah.

The first Come and Try morning will be held at Stan Sercombe Oval on Sunday, August 16.

Phone: 02 6679 5136 Uki Supermarket – proudly local, fresh and part of the community For the past 16 years, Uki Supermarket has been proud to serving the Uki community and surrounds, becoming a much-loved part of village life and a convenient place for locals to shop for fresh food, everyday essentials and something different.

The supermarket has continued to evolve with the needs of Uki and surrounding areas under passionate owners, Dave and Bec, who have worked hard to improve the store while maintaining the friendly and personalised service.

Their wonderful team is at the heart of the supermarket, with staff who take pride in providing exceptional customer service and as locals themselves, many know their customers by name,

helping create the welcoming atmosphere that sets Uki Supermarket apart.

From the beginning, Dave and Bec have also been committed to stocking products that are a little bit different, while catering for a wide range of dietary requirements.

The supermarket works with a diverse range of suppliers and producers rather than simply relying on products from large warehouses.

“We are so lucky that people produce the most incredible products for us to sell,” the couple said.

Many of those products are sourced locally, often from just up the road, supporting regional producers while giving customers access to fresh, quality food.

“Low food miles means that everybody wins –

the producer, the retailer and the customer,” Dave and Bec said.

That commitment to local food, personal service and supporting the community remains at the heart of Uki Supermarket.

And while the supermarket has continued to improve over the years, Dave and Bec say the biggest thanks belongs to the customers who continue to support their local store.

Whether you’re picking up fresh local produce, stocking the pantry, looking for something different or simply enjoying a friendly hello from the team, Uki Supermarket remains committed to being a supermarket for the community, by the community.

Cheers from Dave and Bec.

EVERYONE IS talking about the all new Mamash café which is a dazzling, sunny space. The biodynamic organic farm which was crammed into a low area on the ground level at Sunnyside has opened up across the street, right next to the stop lights.

Sunlight pours through the floor to ceiling windows, illuminating the kids’ corner, long camphor laurel table, smaller tables, and the amazing array of food, drinks, and produce.

Not only does Mamash have everything you could want in a café, it is also open seven days a week from 7am until 6pm, and until 5pm on the weekends.

The café has all the same inventive, healthy salads, a whole new range of smoothies, soups, pies, great dips, panela from Colombia, and so much more. Fruit and vegetables from the family organic farm are in the side area and the fridge along the wall.

The sign on the end wall says: “In Hebrew, mamash means really or truly but its deeper root speaks of substance and actuality, the point where something becomes fully real. At Mamash, this word is our essence: real food, real people, real connection. Everything here is made with intention, honesty, and the kind of care you can actually feel.”

The brains behind this fantastic phenomenon, Oogie Mishtler and his partner Basil, have three sons, age two, four and six. Basil who did the soothing, airy design in cool teal tones came up with the name while sleeping.

“I was driving in the car with my brother and Basil was asleep in the back seat. As she woke up, she said the word ‘mamash’. And she goes, ‘That’s the name of the shop,’” Oogie told The Weekly.

“I am feeling overwhelmed with love and sup-

“Once you’re there, you’ll be reluctant to leave and keen to return” port from the community,” Basil said.

“Seeing our vision becoming a reality in our small town is super rewarding and I am forever grateful for the township comraderie, ongoing backing and positive feedback.

“There were moments I felt as though we took on an impossible task but thanks to the high spirits and reassurance from our local town and family, we persevered through some of the small-business hurdles, opened the doors on Monday and exceeded all of our expectations with crowd support and customers’ feedback.”

Most of all, Mamash has a warm welcoming atmosphere. Once you’re there, you’ll be reluctant to leave and keen to return.

Mamash is a marvellous new phenomenon at 75 Wollumbin St, Murwillumbah. The official opening is on Thursday, August 13, at 1pm.

Mamash is open M-F 8am-6pm, S-S 9am-5pm.

New BCC Tweed community college

By Jonathon Howard

A NEW community college offering innovative education, training and employment pathways has opened at Tweed Heads this month, with strong backing from the Twin Towns Services Club Community Foundation.

Byron Community College (BCC) Tweed campus is located at 1/91 Minjungbal Drive, Tweed Heads and offers around 12 or more course across a range of growth areas.

BCC Tweed offers vocational training, employment skills, digital education and community courses, including: • Business and digital: Digital Marketing, Digital Essentials for Work and Tech Savvy Seniors.

• Employment and workplace skills: Ticket Preparation, Everyday Skills Hub and White Card construction training.

• First aid and safety: CPR, First Aid and Mental Health First Aid. • Hospitality: Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) and Responsible Conduct of Gaming (RCG).

• Creative and community: Introduction to Floristry.

• Foundation skills: Programs supporting people to build basic digital, literacy and workplace skills.

A number of courses are government or ACE-funded and free for eligible participants, while others attract a fee.

BCC Tweed CEO Anne Stoven met with The Weekly this week to talk about the new site and encourage residents to enrol in one of the college’s accredited and non-accredited courses.

“This is a really safe, welcoming place where people can come and engage in learning,” she said.

Ms Stoven said the new campus was already attracting students, with some courses, includ-

ing floristry, nearing capacity in its first week.

The college is also preparing to launch a youth program at the beginning of next year for young people struggling in mainstream education.

Participants will undertake a Certificate II in Work and Vocational Pathways while gaining practical experience in areas including floristry, carpentry and shoemaking, as well as workplace tickets.

Ms Stoven said the college provided an important pathway for people who may not thrive in mainstream schooling or TAFE. “We’re a safe landing space for particularly young people who may struggle in mainstream education,” she said.

“We provide wellbeing, we provide education, we support them, and basically get them back on their feet so that they can go on.”

The college also provides foundation skills, digital training, employment-focused courses and social learning opportunities, catering for people from 15 through to older residents.

A $100,000 contribution from the Twin Towns Services Club Community Foundation has helped the college establish its Tweed facility.

Foundation representatives said education, wellbeing and helping people participate in the workforce were key priorities, with the college providing a strong connection between those goals.

John Griffin, secretary of the Twin Towns Community Foundation, said the organisation saw the investment as an opportunity to reach an important section of the community.

“We’re seeing this is going to give us an opportunity to go way beyond that, into an important part of the sector that we haven’t reached,” he said.

The college is also working with community organisations and Community Corrections to provide employment and foundational skills support, including reading, writing, mathemat-

ics and workplace training.

Ms Stoven said the support from the foundation had been crucial to establishing the Tweed campus.

“Without the foundation, we wouldn’t have been able to move here,” she said.

The college is now offering drop-in foundation skills and digital sessions, as well as a range of courses and training programs.

With more than 100,000 people living in the Tweed, Ms Stoven said the new campus had significant potential to grow.

“We’ve got some government funding for the

“The new campus had significant potential to grow” training, but this allows us to get set up, to be known, to connect with the community,” she said.

“Where it goes from here is anyone’s guess.

Actually, we’re around for a while.”

34 NRL Tipping Competition Thursday, August 13, 2026

with Quinny

SOME QUALITY footy from the weekend as we get closer to the pointy end of the season.

The Cowboys bounced back from a disastrous performance at home to get the choccies against the Titans.

Some of the second row efforts and skill from the Cows was top shelf.

The Warriors turned on a 60 min clinic before the Panthers roared back into the contest.

Penrith are a very good team, but they are by no means morals this year to get their title back.

The Roosters supporters are starting to believe this could be the year they win some silverware.

It’s a quality outfit with strike all over the park and it would be a brave man to suggest they can’t.

It’s hard to comprehend Manly are still a mathematical chance but they are, however, I feel they are making up the numbers.

The Broncos let a 24-0 lead after 20 mins slip and have now lost 11 of their last 12 matches and they simply cannot wait for the season of misery to end.

The Rabbits are hanging in and can do enough on their day but are too unpredictable in my opinion.

Ricky wasn’t happy with Big Red on Sunday in the nation’s capital and with good reason.

It was a brain explosion that has potentially cost them dearly.

I’m not sure the spray he gave him in the media was a good look though from the coach.

Nicho missed the most goals in a row record as the Sharks were rolled by the Sharks in the shire derby.

One round to go in the NRRRL and the Mustangs looked to have sewn up top spot after dismantling Bilambil down in the valley on Sunday.

The Cougars being rolled by Lower has the Stangs 2 points. Who fills spot 4,5 and 6 and in what order is anyone’s guess with 6 teams a mathematical chance to make the semi’s in the last round.

Catch up rounds due to the weather for the juniors will be vitally important this week in deciding who makes the semi’s and who doesn’t.

Expressions of interest for coaching positions for the Northern Rivers Titans rep teams are up and available as are some of the junior reps playing expressions of interest in the Qld comps through CC,MM and HN for the girls.

Big news in the signing world this week was hearing To’o will reunite with his old mate Luai in PNG in 2028 as the Chiefs signing frenzy continues. I must say I do like the Perth Bears jersey that was revealed this week in the media.

See you at the footy. Quinny

Political talk at The Regent

By Madeleine Murray

00035 Stuff Matters QP

A CONVERSATION ABOUT ONE of the world’s most divisive conflicts is coming to Murwillumbah later this month when Politics of Life hosts two outspoken Australian advocates to discuss Gaza, the West Bank and what the conflict means for Australia’s democracy.

The popular speaker series has sold out every event at The Regent this year, and organisers expect another strong turnout when Palestinian activist and lawyer Mussa Hijazi joins Jewish Australian academic and pro-Palestine activist Michelle Berkon on Thursday, August 20.

The evening will examine the implications of the conflict for Australians, exploring not only events overseas but also the political, moral and democratic questions they raise at home.

Born in Australia, Hijazi returned to Palestine as a child, where he witnessed the first Palestinian Intifada. After returning to Australia as a teenager, he studied law and is now a commercial lawyer and partner at Hijazi Curran Cameron Lawyers in Canberra.

Berkon, a former teacher, has long been involved in social justice, environmental sustainability and animal rights. As a Jewish Australian and member of Jews Against the Occupation ‘48, she has become an active voice in support of Palestinian liberation.

“Part of my work highlights the links between the Israel lobby, the far-right, as well as the war industry and its potential influence on Australian democracy,” Berkon said.

The discussion will range across the humanitarian, political and democratic consequences of the conflict before opening to questions from the audience.

Convenor Richard Hil told The Weekly, “At Politics of Life, we do not equivocate. Consistent with legal judgments, international law, expert academic opinion, and what we witness with our own eyes and ears, we view what is happening.

The Q&A session will give the audience an 4 Minjungbal Dr Tweed Heads South NSW

AUSTRALIAN MUSIC GREATS Ian Moss and Troy Cassar-Daley will bring their friendship, humour and contrasting musical histories to Twin Towns on Friday 16 October, as their Together Alone Tour returns for a new national run.

The 2026 tour builds on their original 2022 shows and later shared stages, returning the pair to the stripped-back format that first showcased their easy chemistry.

While Moss is synonymous with the rock and blues of Cold Chisel and Cassar-Daley is one of Australian country music’s most decorated storytellers, Moss said their music comes from similar roots.

“What’s really important to both of us is having a good story … and a story you believe in,” Moss told The Weekly. “Hopefully we’ve got some stories with a bit of substance to them.”

Cassar-Daley said the acoustic format gives the pair room to share those stories - and plenty of laughs.

“It’s just two blokes on guitars, and you’re able to actually have the time to tell these stories properly,” he told The Weekly. “I think that’s what people really loved about the show last time, and that’s probably why we’re back on the road again.”

The tour follows the announcement of Together Alone - Live at the Ulumbarra Theatre, due 2 October. Its first single, “The Dark End of the Street”, has special meaning for both artists. Cassar-Daley described releasing it as a “full-circle moment”, while Moss recalled being struck by how bluesy his musical partner could sing.

Twin Towns audiences will hear favourites from the live recording alongside newer ma-

terial, including “Nullarbor Plain”, which the pair wrote together and have each recorded.

Cassar-Daley said he has long loved the Twin Towns showroom and cannot wait to return.

“We should be transporting people when we’re on stage,” he said. “That’s our job.”

Before reaching the Tweed, Moss and Cassar-Daley will also perform an hour-long set at the Deni Ute Muster on Friday and Saturday, 2nd and 3rd October in Deniliquin. Cassar-Daley promised “quite the rock-and-roll adventure”, with the friends playing electric guitar across each other’s songs.

Together Alone plays 7:30pm, Friday 16 October at Twin Towns, 2 Wharf St, Tweed Heads.

Tickets and limited VIP Experience packages are available through ianmoss.com.au and troycassardaley.com.au

Tyalgum community spirit

By Rada Campbell

TYALGUM offered a reminder earlier this month that community resilience can begin with something as simple as sharing a meal and getting to know your neighbours.

A free sausage sizzle, tables laden with delicious homemade cakes and a warm welcome drew residents and visitors to a community fundraising and education day organised by the Tyalgum District Community Association (TDCA).

Throughout the day, people stopped to chat, learn about emergency preparedness and have their say on ideas for Tyalgum’s future.

TDCA president Rebecca McGuren said the gathering brought together three strands of the association’s work: fundraising, disaster resilience and long-term community planning.

“Resilience is obviously very, very big on our agenda at the moment,” Ms McGuren told The Weekly.

“We received funding so we could put on events like this, where people can network, get to know each other, understand what to do in an emergency and learn how to use the radios.”

Residents received practical UHF radio training and learned about Resilience Tyalgum’s network of local coordinators.

The volunteer-led system divides the district into neighbourhood areas, each with a designated radio channel and people who can help maintain communication when floods, fires, landslips or telecommunications failures leave residents isolated.

The network also connects with resilience teams in Pumpenbil and Chillingham.

It is a model with relevance across the Tweed, where natural disasters have repeatedly demonstrated the importance of local knowledge, reliable communication and neighbours who know how to help one another.

Tyalgum experienced that vulnerability first-

A tempting spread of homemade cakes helped raise funds for the TDCA at Tyalgum's community resilience day

hand when the record 2022 floods destroyed part of Tyalgum Road, cutting the village’s main connection with Murwillumbah.

Visitors were also invited to vote on 18 ideas developed by the Tyalgum Futures subcommittee, helping the TDCA shape its priorities for the next three years.

But beyond the plans, radios and colourful voting dots, the strongest feature of the day was its community spirit.

Everyone who arrived was greeted warmly, conversations flowed freely and volunteers made the gathering feel as much like a neighbourhood celebration as an education day.

The TDCA meets at Tyalgum Hall at 6pm on the third Wednesday of each month, with visitors welcome.

Book Fair & Big Breaky MURWILLUMBAH PUBLIC School hosted its annual Book Fair and Big Breakfast on Wednesday, August 5, raising much-needed funds for the Cancer Council this year.

The popular event hosted by students, families and staff came together to celebrate reading and showcasing the students’ talents at a special assembly.

Teacher Simone King said the annual breakfast has become an important event on the school calendar, combining community spirit with the opportunity to support the Cancer Council.

“It was a morning of community, generosity and a celebration for the school,” she said.

Murwillumbah Public is hosting a special school open day school event on Tuesday, August 18, and Wednesday, August 19, which is an open invitation for 2027 kindy student enrolments from 9am to 10am both days.

SPARKLE WINDOW CLEANING 0426 146 684

AFTER SETTLING in Pottsville back in 2012, a UK-born local quickly turned his passion for professional cleaning into a thriving business that’s now become a trusted name across the Tweed Shire. With over 13 years of operation, this long-standing window cleaning service has built a strong reputation for reliability, quality, and attention to detail.

Just a month after arriving in Australia, the business was up and running like a well-oiled machine.

What began as a small, one-man operation has grown into a family-run business known for its friendly service and outstanding results.

“We’re proud to still be serving many of the loyal customers who supported us in that very first year,” the owner shares.

While sparkling windows are the cornerstone of the business, the service extends far beyond the glass. Customers can expect a full exterior clean, including flyscreens, tracks, frames, gutters, pressure washing and even solar panel cleaning.

Equipped with a pure water telescopic system, the team can safely reach windows up to four storeys high - no ladders or risky climbs necessary.

With majority of their work coming from referrals and repeat clients, it’s clear that customer satisfaction is front and centre.

“We offer a satisfaction guarantee - if something’s not quite right, we’ll come back and fix it, no fuss.”

One of the most appreciated features of the business is its convenient reminder service.

Whether you prefer monthly, quarterly, or seasonal cleans, the team can create a custom schedule and notify you when it’s time for your next service - no more forgetting or chasing up.

The future is looking bright, too. The owner’s 17-year-old son has recently joined the team and is set to come on board full-time after finishing Year 12. “It’s been great having him work alongside me - it’s allowed us to take on more work and plan for

future growth,” he says.

Expansion is on the horizon, with plans to grow the team further and focus on serving more commercial clients across the Tweed region, while continuing to uphold the high-quality service regular customers know and love.

What Locals Are Saying With glowing online reviews praising the professionalism, reliability, and outstanding results, it’s no surprise that this business continues to thrive. One Google review sums it up: “Fantastic service! Always punctual, friendly and the windows look amazing every time. Highly recommend!”

Free Quotes & No Surprises Offering free quotes with no obligation, the business ensures transparency and peace of mind from the very beginning. Whether it’s a one-off clean or ongoing maintenance, every job is approached with the same high standard.

“We take great pride in our work, and quality is at the heart of everything we do. It’s a core part of our business values and something we never compromise on,” the owner reflects.

If you’re after crystal-clear windows and reliable exterior cleaning with genuine local care, this longstanding Pottsville business is just a call away.

Sparkling clear vision: a local success in Window Cleaning.

Health worker fundraising for kids with cancer A TWEED Valley Hospital worker is swapping her usual work attire for footy colours while raising money for children with cancer.

HealthShare NSW Food Service worker Lisa Donnelly is taking part in the Show Your Footy Colours to Work Day fundraiser on Friday, September 25, with money raised going towards supporting children affected by cancer.

Lisa has been visiting local businesses across the Tweed seeking donations and support, with plans to hold a raffle as part of the fundraising effort on the day.

The initiative is a chance for Lisa and her colleagues to show their support for children and families facing cancer while bringing a little footy spirit to the workplace.

“I’m looking forward to seeing you,” Lisa said, encouraging local businesses and community members to get behind the fundraiser.

Anyone wishing to support Lisa’s fundraising efforts or contribute a raffle prize can contact her on 0402 418 239.

The event will see participants showing their footy colours while helping raise funds for an important cause.

Lisa Donnelly is a Manly supporter

LIFE WELL LIVED

A life well lived is a precious gift, of hope and strength and grace, from someone who has made our world a brighter, better place.

It’s filled with moments, sweet and sad with smiles and sometimes tears, with friendships formed and good times shared, and laughter through the years.

A life well lived is a legacy, of joy and pride and pleasure, a living, lasting memory our grateful heart’s will treasure. ~ Anonymous

Paperbark Deathcare & Funerals

A little planning. A lot of love.

Most funerals are planned by strangers, in a hurry, under pressure.

Yours doesn't have to be. Pre-planning means the people you love spend less time making decisions — leave a map not a maze.

A gentle conversation is all it takes to start.

Real Estate FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

AG E NT O F TH E WE E K

OUR AGENT of the Week is Matt Armstrong, a sales consultant at Elders Tweed Valley who has had an incredible life.

Matt has called the Tweed Valley home for 23 years. A passionate advocate for sustainable living and a genuine humanitarian, he brings to real estate a rare combination of deep local knowledge, extensive property experience and a lifelong commitment to helping people. We caught up with Matt for a chat.

WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE YOU WENT INTO REAL ESTATE?

I spent 10 years working with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) as a logistician in Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Kenya, Uganda and Sri Lanka where I met my wife.

In 1994 I worked for the BBC in South Africa as a sound recorder during the South African elections on the standby sound crew. There was no more exciting place to be in the world at that time.

My sound was broadcast live at the inauguration of Nelson Mandela.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO INTO REAL ESTATE?

My father worked in real estate and on properties for over 50 years; he only retired last year at 79 years of age. We both enjoy understanding people’s stories and share a love of the land. It’s a great privilege to have people’s trust and to manage the responsibility of what is most times their greatest asset.

I once worked on a feature film in North Queensland. One night the director, who had been drinking, asked, “Do you know what the secret to life is Matt?”

At 17 years of age, I was busting to know such things and responded, “Nope.” He laughed and said, just turn your dreams into reality. Simple I suppose. My job as a real estate professional enables me to do this for others, I’ve since discovered. This gives me great pleasure.

WHAT PROPERTY TYPES DO YOU HAVE THE MOST EXPERTISE AND INTEREST IN?

I’ve worked with Elders in Murwillumbah for the past 23 years, primarily with farms, lifestyle properties and residential throughout the region.

Shop 2 /41-45 Murwillumbah Street, Murwillumbah Phone: (02) 6672 2499

I’ve had less experience with industrial and commercial properties. My passion is with the land, and its connection with people. I thoroughly enjoy good design through architecture, gardens, and the aspect of a property, which I often equate with the liveability of a given lifestyle.

tremendous climate, the 2032 Olympic Games at our doorstep and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. For people looking to transition here, this region will always remain a desirable location.

WHO ARE YOU SEEING BUYING PROPERTIES AT THE MOMENT AND WHERE ARE THEY MOSTLY COMING FROM?

For sellers, I feel it’s important to sell out of a market and to buy in the same market without waiting. Some make the decision to travel for a period or rent.

Often the market has moved on by the time they wish to secure a home again which can be difficult should prices rise.

Buyers are mostly coming in from Brisbane and the Gold Coast as these markets have been less affected than most other parts of Australia. I have had a couple of inquiries recently from the southern states.

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST CHANGE YOU HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE MARKET IN RECENT TIMES?

Mostly the market used to have a level of predictability about what was around the corner. With current instabilities overseas, the confidence to make a move has diminished a little, but I remain positive as we are doing deals and the phone is ringing. I believe so much in this region despite all. We have a • 9/198 Kennedy Dr, Tweed Heads West,

WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR SELLERS?

HOW DO PEOPLE GET A FOOT IN THE PROPERTY DOOR?

My father would suggest “Fortune favours the brave!” There are still opportunities out there. It’s often a case of rolling your sleeves up and putting your head down for a while. We will continue to see growth in our region due to our proximity to the coast and the extraordinarily abundant lifestyle on offer surrounded by magnificent countryside and warm-hearted people.
