Greenhills faces demolition THE FORMER Greenhills Aged Care Facility in South Murwillumbah could soon be demolished and redeveloped into community housing at 433–437 Tweed Valley Way. The Greenhills property returned to council ownership in April 2024 following the closure of the aged care facility after the 2022 floods and associated landslip impacts. The land had originally been gifted by council for aged care purposes, with a caveat requiring it to be returned if that use ceased. Since its closure, the site has fallen into disrepair and been subjected to persistent vandalism, despite previous calls for the buildings to be repaired and repurposed. A council report said the condition of the buildings and landslip were now major constraints on redevelopment. “Redevelopment of the site is considered to be best achieved through demolition of the existing structures and construction of a purpose-built community housing development rather than refurbishment of the existing buildings,” the report said. Council will consider entering into an agreement with the NSW Reconstruction Authority (RA) to demolish and clear the site ahead of its proposed transfer to Anglicare North Coast and Social Futures for community housing. Around $1.4 million was allocated to Greenhills through the RA’s Resilient Lands Program, with approximately $170,000 already spent on geotechnical investigations and assessing landslip treatment options. That leaves about $1.2 million, with demolition and site clearance estimated to cost between $330,000 and $400,000. “As the works would be funded and delivered by the RA, there are no direct financial implications for Council associated with the demolition component,”

“Been trashed beyond repair” the report said. The funding expires in 2027, prompting the RA to recommend using part of the remaining money to demolish the buildings and prepare the property for redevelopment. “The proposed arrangement also reduces Council’s exposure to project delivery, procurement and cost escalation risks associated with undertaking the works directly,” the report said. “In addition, removal of the existing deteriorated structures will improve site safety, reduce the risk of vandalism and unauthorised access, and enhance the site’s readiness for future community housing development.” Anglicare North Coast has advised that community housing could potentially proceed without landslip treatment being undertaken first, subject to any future development application conditions. Councillor Meredith Dennis had campaigned to reuse the existing site for emergency housing and said the motion to demolish was “disappointing”. “However, after reviewing the situation, the site has really fallen into disrepair, with the place being trashed by alleged vandals with the wiring stripped out of the walls, the copper stolen, air-conditioning units stolen, holes in the walls and roof – it’s basically been trashed beyond repair,” she said. “I believe action could have been taken to secure the site, which was delayed for too long by the Reconstruction Authority, but we need to move on and perhaps our best option is to demolish and start over.” Council officers said demolition and site clearance would therefore provide “the greatest immediate benefit in facilitating

redevelopment of the site”. The report also described demolition as “the most effective use of the remaining funding at this stage”, saying it would “remove a significant impediment to redevelopment”. Any funding remaining after demolition could potentially be directed towards future landslip treatment. However, council could face future costs if landslip or make-safe works are required and exceed the remaining RA funding. Previous estimates put those works at around $1.1 million, although that figure included partial demolition and would need to be reviewed. Under council’s July resolution, the land will be transferred to Anglicare North Coast and Social Futures only if funding for the community housing project is secured by October 31, 2027. A caveat will require the property to be used for community housing or returned to council at no cost. Councillors will consider the demolition motion at their monthly meeting on Thursday, September 17.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made out of titanium, a biocompatible material surgically placed into the jaw bone. Dental Implants offer a secure solution to replace one or more teeth, providing a solid foundation for holding a crown, bridge, or denture. They look, feel and function like natural teeth. They are recommended to improve aesthetics, function (chewing) and speech. And they’re also easy to keep clean — just like your other teeth.

So long my beloved Kingscliff - I feel blessed

I’m leaving Kingscliff this week. I’m devastated. Needless to say when I first moved to this beautiful beach town I didn’t appreciate it. Then after years in so deep a depression I had curled in on myself enough in two years to grow a dowager hump... a back surgery later then by pure chance I thought I’d run some resumes around. That’s when my life was changed forever... I was scrubbing toilets at the Zo Business center but it fixed me. Over the next four to five years, I was blessed with the friendship of and guidance of so many amazing people. This message is for you all. Thank you to everyone. Especially John and Glenys you guys gave me the creature that will keep me sane in the next three months... and moves. I will miss this place so much. Please know that everything good that I have had or done in the last five years was because I got to live in this amazing town. With great neighbours, friends and co-workers. Thank you for accepting the mess that I am, karaoke mopping and all. Wish me luck as I wish you all the best things that life can give. N Morris, Kingscliff

We need to talk about dementia a lot more

Dementia is Australia’s leading cause of death, but it’s not talked about nearly enough. An estimated 446,500 Australians are living with dementia right now and in 40 years that number is projected to reach more than one million. To see meaningful change, dementia needs a national spotlight. Australia has learned how to talk openly about heart disease, cancer and mental health, and we’ve seen the difference that can make. Now it’s time to bring dementia into everyday conversation. That’s why this Dementia Action Week (September 21-27) Dementia

Electric, Gas, Solar & Solar Heat pumps Australia is asking every Australian to help create change, one conversation at a time. This week, we want everyone in Australia to know that help exists. Community exists. Support exists. Information exists. Dementia Australia can connect people to all of it. One conversation about dementia could be what helps someone find their way to us. To get involved in Dementia Action Week, visit dementia.org.au/dementia-action-week For dementia support and information contact the National Dementia Helpline any time on 1800 100 500 or visit dementia.org.au. It’s free, confidential and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Parking questions remain

I have just read about the old Tweed Hospital site which will house up to 800 units, some of those units could have two cars (TVW, September 10, page 1). When it was the hospital there was a parking problem and there was nowhere near the number of cars there then so where are all the vehicles going to be housed unless they have a large underground parking area. As you are aware in the same area, actually right opposite the old hospital site a new Serene building is being built right now, which will have 94 units, which will have underground parking for residents. S Harris, Tweed Heads

We need two more roundabouts

Kennedy Drive was sealed some years ago, and not a moment too soon. Since then, the traffic density has increased a lot along that stretch of road, due to the recent influx of many new residents and the increased building of dwellings in the shire. There is now an urgent need for two roundabouts in Kennedy Drive, in

particular the spots at the outlets at the busy shopping centres where there are the supermarkets. Both outlets onto Kennedy Drive and Scenic Drive respectively, have become serious black spots. We should call on Tweed Shire Council and its engineers to urgently consider roundabouts at those sites. W James, Tweed Heads

Pothole band-aid fix must stop

On another note, filling potholes with a loose mixture involving bitumen must end as a band- aid -measure. I can recall as a boy seeing my council using a flat plate and a machine pounding the mixture so as much as possible filling the potholes, going some way towards giving a level finish to the surface But, far better, council’s engineers and the general manager need to see what can be done with the removal to a satisfactory depth of potholed roads replacing them with a substrate and sufficient bitumised surface that will last a few decades at least. I would point out; the bottom of Lakes Drive would be a good start – another tooth rattler for motorists who live on the island. W James, Tweed Heads

Palliative donation update

Murwillumbah flight courses are back TWO ACCOMPLISHED local pilots have resurrected Murwillumbah’s flying school at the iconic Bob Whittle Murwillumbah Airfield, with the flying school opening on Monday, September 21. Flying has never been more popular across the Tweed and Southern Gold Coast with young and old aviators lining up to take flight. Murwillumbah Flight Training coordinator Gary Clarke said the flight training is designed to provide a pathway for people to enter the aviation industry. There are currently two instructors Mr Clarke and Cameron Baines leading the program, who have more than 8,000 hours of flying experience combined. “Our ambition is to grow Murwillumbah Flight Training from Murwillumbah, which we believe is an untapped resource and one of the best locations to learn to fly,” he said. “We are only in the early stages of the business, but we have already received a lot of interest, and we look forward to growing in the future.” Mr Clarke praised the Bob Whittle Murwillumbah Airfield, Murwillumbah Aeroclub and Tweed

Shire Council for their assistance in supporting the re-establishment of flight training in the Tweed Valley. “We are CASA approved, licensed and highly experienced instructors, including current airline pilots and veteran instructors from the Tweed,” Mr Clarke said. “Our aim is to provide high-quality and safe flight training to achieve your goals. “We offer a warm, friendly training environment with good old-fashioned customer service and having an instructor that builds a relationship with you as you go through your journey.” The duo is also eager to expand Murwillumbah Flight Training from two to four instructors as they grow into the future Anyone wanting to find out more is encouraged to email: admin@ flymft.com.au or phone 0491 830 430 and check The Weekly for regular updates.

Cr Byrnes ready to be mayor

Tweed a place where people can get ahead, I’m talking about people I know, people I grew up with, people I represent and, in many respects, people like me,” he said. Cr Byrnes pointed to his record on council, including backing the Tweed Valley Rail Trail, supporting the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed, securing a roundabout at Bilambil Heights and pushing for better telecommunications in Pottsville. He also highlighted his work to introduce drones for local surf lifesaving clubs, improvements to amenities along Pottsville Beach and protecting access to the upper car park at Norries Headland. Cr Byrnes said his ability to work with councillors from different political backgrounds would be central to his leadership if elected. “We don’t always agree, and we shouldn’t,” he said. “But working across our differences in the interests of the Tweed is what I bring

TWEED’S DEPUTY Mayor Reece Byrnes says he’s ready to step up as the Tweed’s next mayor, declaring his decade of experience and deep local roots make him a strong candidate to lead the shire. Cr Byrnes confirmed his bid after Mayor Chris Cherry announced she was preparing to step aside from the top job and would nominate Cr Byrnes as her successor. He appears likely to also receive support other including independent Cr Meredith Dennis, pending the final vote which is set to take place at council’s monthly meeting on Thursday, September 17. Cr Byrnes said he is “humbled and grateful” to his fellow councillors who have decided to back him for the position. The Tweed-born councillor, Byrnes first entered local politics a decade ago at the age of 27, when he was renting in Bilambil Heights and was introduced by the local newspaper as “the son of a fisherman”. Ten years later, Cr Byrnes said he remains a renter and is also now a dedicated single father with those experiences helping shape his approach to issues including housing, employment, services and opportunities. “I have never forgotten where I came from, or who I entered public life to serve,” he said. “My parents were working-class people who left school at 15. I was the first in my family to go to university and complete a degree.” Cr Byrnes said his own experiences had given him an understanding of residents struggling with housing, secure employment, raising children alone, disability and neurodivergence. “When I talk about fairness, opportunity, housing, jobs, services and making the

Murwillumbah High students share Big Picture MURWILLUMBAH High School students have this week turned their passions into powerful stories, creative projects and real-world experiences through the school’s Big Picture Education program. Big Picture encourages students to explore subjects and projects built around their individual interests, strengths and future aspirations, giving them an opportunity to take greater ownership of their education. For senior students, that has translated into an incredible array of stories and other mediums, allowing them to demonstrate their creativity, skills and knowledge in areas that genuinely matter to them. The Weekly was invited to view this year’s range from year 9 to 12 and it was nothing short in inspirational. The stories and displays demonstrate a wide range of passions from army cadets, to stylists, athletes, artists, musicians, physical educators, 3D animators and so much more.

Petition against Woolies site By Jonathon Howard

Continued from page 1 “We, the undersigned, petition Tweed Valley Council to prevent the rezoning of recreational land at the former Murwillumbah Bowls Club site for the purposes of a Woolworths Supermarket,” the petition states. A second petition opposing proposed zoning change DFA 12 in Council’s draft Growth Management, Housing and Employment Strategy (GMHES) attracted 798 signatures, of which 591 were considered valid. “The undersigned strongly object to the proposed rezoning as detailed in DFA 12,” the

petition states. The petitions are the latest development in the long-running debate over the future of the former bowls club site, which is owned by Woolworths but currently has a recreation zoning that does not permit the proposed supermarket development. The draft GMHES has raised the prospect of changing the land use, potentially paving the way for Woolworths to pursue its supermarket and retail development plans. However, residents opposed to the proposal have raised concerns about the loss of recreational land, flooding and whether Murwillumbah needs another major supermarket.

mitments, while student Harry Gold’s journey through the program has focused on personal growth and development. The approach has also won praise from families and community members with parents Previous flood investigations into the site have also become a key part of the debate, with critics arguing that rezoning the flood-affected land for more intensive development is at odds with the direction of NSW Government planning policy. The petitions follow prominent local businessman and IGA Tweed Valley and Murwillumbah owner Brett Bugg has previously told The Weekly he was not opposed to Woolworths establishing another supermarket in Murwillumbah but believed the former bowls club location remained a “major hurdle”.

Family lose everything in Stokers Siding rescue Dunbible fire - please help By Jonathon Howard

A COMMUNITY fundraising appeal has been launched for a young local family who have been left with nothing after fire destroyed their rented home near Dunbible. Hayden, his partner Jasmin and their children Milani, 7, and Riot, 3, are temporarily living in a borrowed camper trailer at Murwillumbah Showground after the September 8 blaze destroyed their McConnells Road home and all their belongings. The family did not have contents insurance and has also been left without a vehicle, prompting close friend Andrew Eppelstun to establish a GoFundMe appeal with Hayden’s permission. “We are absolutely devastated,” Hayden told The Weekly. “I know we lost a lot more than what is being asked via the GoFundMe, but we want a little help to try to start over (setting a target of $10,000). “I never ask for help because I’d rather help someone else before I help myself in most situations.” Hayden said the family was doing the best it could under extremely difficult circumstances. “Me and my family are in a run-down camper van that a friend has lent us for a limited amount of time,” he said. “Any help is needed at the moment as we have absolutely nothing.” The Salvation Army, Lifeline and Tweed Palliative Support services have provided some clothing and toys, while the fund-

raiser initially aims to help the family get back on their feet. The loss comes after an already difficult year for the family following the death of Hayden’s father Steve in December 2025. The fire also destroyed irreplaceable possessions, including the ashes of Jasmine’s mother, Steve’s diaries and journals, photographs and family albums. Hayden works as a concreter, while he and Jasmin also sell their artwork and handmade items at markets around the Tweed Valley. The fire took their furniture, clothes, appliances, children’s belongings, tools and everything else a family accumulates over the years. Emergency services were called to the Dunbible property at about 10.30am on Tuesday, September 8, following reports of smoke coming from the house. NSW Rural Fire Service crews from Murwillumbah, Burringbar, Lennox Head, Cudgen and Uki, along with support crews and Fire and Rescue NSW Murwillumbah, responded. Firefighters brought the blaze under control at about 12.30pm before conducting extensive overhaul operations. Specialist Fire and Rescue NSW HAZMAT crews and NSW Police also attended. “Hi everyone, me and my family have just lost everything in a house fire,” Hayden said in an online appeal. “It’s destroyed us in every way. If anyone can donate to my GoFundMe, it would be extremely appreciated.”

A WOMAN has been rescued from a creek after falling down a steep embankment at Stokers Siding on Tuesday night, September 8. Tweed District Rescue Squad and other emergency crews were called to the scene about 8pm after reports a person had fallen down a near-vertical drop. Crews found the woman in the creek, surrounded by thick vegetation, about 20 metres below the top of the embankment. Tweed District Rescue Squad volunteers used specialist vertical rescue equipment to bring the injured woman safely back up to an awaiting ambulance. Four-wheel-drive vehicles were also required to help rescue and ambulance crews access the site and complete the difficult extraction. The woman was taken by road to hospital for treatment.

Our students demonstrated not only their athletic ability but also grace, determination, teamwork and camaraderie, showing wonderful sportsmanship towards their fellow competitors. Chayse, Violet and Cliff competed in the high jump, while Billie represented MPS in the discus. Cliff also competed in the 100m and 200m sprints, long jump and shot put, while Xanthe competed in the shot put. A huge congratulations goes to Chayse, who cleared an outstanding 1.49m to place first in the high jump. This fantastic achievement means Chayse will once again travel to Sydney

to compete at the NSW State Athletics Championships. What an incredible accomplishment! Congratulations also to Violet, who placed an impressive fourth in the high jump, narrowly missing out on progressing to the next level.

We are incredibly proud of all five students for their hard work, commitment and the way they represented Murwillumbah Public School. Well done, Chayse, Violet, Cliff, Billie and Xanthe!

Calls for cross-border reform after theft A LOCAL tradie has called for greater cross-border policing cooperation after thousands of dollars worth of tools were allegedly stolen from his van on Monday, September 7, with the man and vehicle later identified as known to Queensland Police. The tradie, who asked that only his first name be used, said the theft happened shortly after lunch while he was working at a Cudgen property and had left the back of his van open so he could easily access his tools and materials. “As I was walking out with my timber I noticed the man walking past my van along the street,” Harrison told The Weekly. “He was wearing a black Bliss N Eso t-shirt, Everlast shorts, a Nike Dri-FIT hat and some Nike TNs. “I had never seen him before so I was suspicious of his movements as it’s not a common road for foot traffic and the same people walk it every day at the same time.” Harrison said he soon realised the man had returned to his property and appeared to be leaving with his tools. “About five minutes later I was inside installing the timber that I had just cut when our site dog barked which she will only ever do if someone is on the premises,” he said. “I looked through the sheer curtains and noticed some movement, as I walked to the front door I saw that on the far side of my van, pulled up in the middle of the road was a car in which the man I had seen five minutes prior was jumping back into the front driver’s seat. “I then realised he had potentially taken something from my van and as I ran down the front stairs to get a look at his number plate he was going down the road at speed with his driver’s

“It’s not as though he’s jumped across to another country; it’s a stone’s throw away” door not even closed. “After he had gone I checked the back of my van and noticed that my biggest Milwaukee Packout box of power tools had been stolen.” The stolen equipment included a circular saw, grinder, reciprocating saw, multi-tool, blower, hammer drill, dozens of SDS drill bits and dozens of grinding and saw blades. Harrison said CCTV footage from a neighbour’s Tesla helped piece together the man’s movements before and after the alleged theft. “After driving the streets for the next half an hour and not being able to find him I proceeded back to the site and asked the neighbours if they had CCTV cameras on the street,” he said. “Their Tesla parked in their driveway had the last hour of footage still available. “As we went through it I noticed his car had driven past 20 minutes prior to him driving off. “He had then parked it around the corner before he was seen walking on the opposite side of the street. “Three minutes later he was seen again walking right past my van back to where he had parked his car on our side of the road. “This is when I noticed him in real time and was watching as he walked away. “Five minutes later the CCTV footage shows him driving away, with my tools in his boot.” Police were notified and attended the site the

following day to take a full report. Harrison said he later spoke with NSW Police and was told the man and vehicle were known to Queensland Police, and raised concerns about the challenges of policing offenders who cross the Queensland-NSW border. The tools were essential to the young tradie’s work and he said replacing them would be a significant financial burden, particularly with a second child on the way. “I’m hopeful something will arrive sooner rather than later so I can get my tools back,” he said. “With a second child on the way and the added costs of living and petrol it really will be a stretch to outlay the cash needed to replace these tools. “I really want to catch this person. “Anything that could possibly help please reach out on Facebook or pass it on to the police. “Finding out his registration would be so

helpful.” Harrison said the incident highlighted what he believed was a need for stronger cross-border policing arrangements between NSW and Queensland. “The cops said the cross-border issue drives them crazy,” he said. “Some sort of reform needs to happen. “It’s not as though he’s jumped across to another country, it’s a stone’s throw away.” Anyone who recognises the man or vehicle, or has information that could assist police, is urged to contact Tweed Byron Police and quote case number E89238821.

Cold case $1M reward QUEENSLAND POLICE have released images of two men they want to identify as part of renewed investigations into the suspected murders of two men linked to the Tweed and Gold Coast in 2002. Homicide detectives are investigating the disappearance of Iain Stewart Hogg, 45, at Tweed Heads and the murder of Frederick Hugh Rosson, also known as Slim Johnson, 67, at Mount Nathan. Following a renewed appeal in 2024, police received new information about two men matching descriptions used to create Comfit images from witness accounts in 2002. Detective Sergeant Scott Chapman urged the public to look closely at the images. “Someone may recognise or know these men or remember something that seemed insignificant at the time but now could be important,” he said. “Twenty-four years have passed and relationships and loyalties change. “It is never too late to come forward.” A combined $1 million reward is offered by the Queensland and NSW governments for information leading to a conviction. Mr Hogg disappeared in March 2002, with witnesses later reporting seeing his red Toyota

Four days after Mr Hogg’s last known sighting, Mr Rosson was shot dead at his Mount Nathan home and a 9mm handgun was stolen. Witnesses reported seeing two men in a red Celica around the time of Mr Rosson’s murder. Mr Hogg’s vehicle was later found abandoned at Palm Beach, with forensic investigations linking it to both offences.

THE FAMILY of Dungay woman Yvonne Whear have confirmed her gold Ford Escape has been recovered from the Rous River, seven months after the 73-year-old disappeared. Yvonne’s vehicle was found along Dulguigan Road on Saturday, September 12, in a major development in the investigation, but NSW Police has confirmed Yvonne was not inside the vehicle and she remains missing. Police told The Weekly that officers from Tweed/Byron Police District called in the Marine Area Command’s Diving Unit after receiving information that a vehicle may have been detected on the riverbed at Dulguigan. Divers recovered Yvonne’s gold Ford Escape, registration EWS-28P, and police established a crime scene. “The vehicle was forensically examined, with further mechanical examination to be undertaken,” police said. “Several personal items, believed to belong to Yvonne, were also recovered. “Yvonne was not located with the vehicle and remains outstanding as a missing person.” The vehicle was reportedly discovered by two volunteer searchers using a kayak and fish finder, with Sun State Search later confirming it had helped locate the missing Ford. “We located Yvonne Whear’s vehicle recently,” Sun State Search posted. “This weekend NSW Police sent in the dive

team to identify and pull her vehicle from the water a few kilometres from her home. “We hope this provides answers for her family.” Yvonne disappeared on Thursday, February 19, after attending an art class at TAFE in Murwillumbah. Police said she was last seen driving along Queensland Road, Murwillumbah, with her vehicle believed to be travelling north towards Dungay at about 3.20pm. Evidence previously located at Yvonne’s hobby farm indicated she had returned home before disappearing. Her phone activity stopped later that afternoon, with its final recorded ping reportedly coming from the Dulguigan area the following morning. Her family has spent the past seven months searching for answers and described the discovery of the vehicle as a significant breakthrough. “Our family is deeply grateful to Cam from Sun State Search, our dedicated team of volunteers, NSW Water Police, the specialist police dive team, Tweed Heads Police, and the local recovery services who assisted with the operation,” the Find Yvonne page posted. “Finding Yvonne’s car is a significant development in the search for answers. The vehicle remains under forensic investigation.” Police inquiries are continuing and anyone with information about Yvonne’s disappearance is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Savour The Tweed: grown here, caught here, cooked here

Guest Chef Jez Wick joins Chef Aaron Teece at Potager for Hinterland Harvest.

A playful and lively menu where mushrooms take centre stage.

At Black Drop Cafe in Pottsville, chefs Andy Mac and Jay Elbrihi are building a 5-course dinner around 2 people who spend their days killing weeds. Rachel Sanderson and Pierre Loiseau of We Forest Earth restore bushland by injecting camphor laurel and privet with fungal spores that break the trees down from the inside. The byproduct is food: native oyster mushrooms and turkey tails. It is one of 27 events at Savour The Tweed, back from Wednesday 21 to Sunday 25 October, and the story behind this year's program is who is working with whom. Farmers, fishers, brewers and bakers are sharing the menu with the region's chefs. Here are 3 of the events that show how that plays out on the plate. "Most people don't know how big a part mycology plays in food production," Mac said. "We're trying to create a life cycle where we take the wild species, cultivate it in the lab of We Forest Earth's Pierre Loiseau, grow it on straw or sawdust and end up with an endemic mushroom we can cook with." The rest of the menu comes from their farms, A Little Greener Farm and Rainbow Regen, and whatever is prolific in the fortnight before the dinner: rosella, Davidson plum, finger lime and Kakadu plum alongside local oysters and wild venison. Sanderson and Loiseau will be at the table to talk between courses. "Normally a workshop with them costs a fortune. To have them at dinner where you can just chat to them is pretty fortunate," Mac said. At Potager in Carool, chef Aaron Teece is cooking with guest chef Jez Wick for Hinterland Harvest. Wick spent 5 years as creative chef at OzHarvest's Refettorio in Sydney and came to the Tweed at the invitation of festival co-curator Christine Manfield. Head gardener Jackie has sent her a list of what will be ready in the kitchen garden that week and the 4-course shared lunch will come from that, after

guests have walked the garden with her. Wick cooks without meat, so her side of the table is vegetarian, with Teece drawing on Speckle Park beef from Potager's own Bellingdale Farm and local seafood. "I want people to think outside the box a bit and think, 'Actually, cooking without animals can be amazing, delicious and thoughtful,'" Wick said. "With one vegetable you can do 20 or 30 different things." At Pioneer Country in Tweed Heads South, a fifth generation cattle property, chef Jonathon Evans is cooking small plates for Boots, Bites, Bulls and Beats, a family-friendly sunset session with live country music, run with The Cowgirl Surf Club. The beef is grass fed Angus rib fillet from the family's own farm with chimichurri and beef tallow chips. The porchetta is Northern Rivers pork stuffed with dried fruit, nuts, rosemary, fennel and garlic, roasted in the wood fired oven and served in a Bread Social roll, with Bread Social Portuguese tarts and drinks from Taha Distillery, Husk Distillery, Brookie's Gin and Stone & Wood. "It's hearty, rustic food and it fits the venue," Evans said. "It will be a fun afternoon." Savour The Tweed is presented by Tweed Shire Council and delivered by The Tweed Tourism Co.

Street Party breaks attendance record in 2026

Council trivia Did you get last week's question right? Answer: A. By placing food scraps, garden cuttings and other organic materials in their green bins, Tweed Shire residents converted around 14,000 tonnes of green waste into nutrient‑rich compost during the 2024/25 financial year. An additional 5,000 tonnes of self‑hauled green waste was also dropped off at the Resource Recovery Centre and processed into compost. All household green bin waste is processed at the Tweed Organics Processing Facility, where it is pre‑sorted and turned into high‑quality compost used by residents, local farmers and landscaping projects across the region. Learn more at: tweed.nsw.gov.au/green-lid-bins

Crowds gathered throughout the day to enjoy a packed program of live music, one of the most popular features of the 2026 Tweed Regional Museum Street Party.

A record 10,000 people attended the 2026 Tweed Regional Museum Street Party in Murwillumbah on Saturday 5 September, 2,000 more than last year, and a new survey shows the crowd wants more. The post-event survey found 98.9 per cent of respondents want the Street Party to return in 2027, and 67 per cent said the event brought them to Murwillumbah who would not otherwise have visited. Family attendance grew too, with 75.3 per cent attending with family and 46.1 per cent with friends. Live music was the biggest drawcard, named by 67.4 per cent of respondents, ahead of food, the Light Within installation and the Museum's own exhibitions. "Seeing thousands of people discover the Museum for the first time is what this event is about," Acting Director Tweed Regional Museum Erika Taylor said. "The survey shows just how many keep coming back." This year's Street Party also sent just 5 bins of waste to landfill, down from 18 bins in 2025, a cut of more

than 70 per cent, after partnering with EcoTrilogy on a reusable cup, plate and cutlery system. "The community's support for reusable foodware and waste reduction was one of this year's standout achievements," Director Sustainable Communities and Environment Naomi Searle said. "It shows people can enjoy a great event while making sustainable choices." The survey also confirmed a flow-on benefit for Murwillumbah's town centre, with many attendees visiting local businesses and spending between $20 and more than $200 each on food, drinks and retail. The one theme for improvement was food, with queues building through the day and more vendors the top request for 2027. The Street Party is delivered through the NSW Government's Open Streets Program, which is providing Council with $350,000 over 3 years.

TWEED HOSPITALITY worker and local legend Lisa Donnelly is kicking goals for kids with cancer, raising almost $1,700 for the Fight Cancer Foundation’s Footy Colours Day. A mad Manly supporter, Lisa has long wanted to find a way to help children and families facing the devastating impacts of cancer. “Everybody knows someone that’s impacted by cancer,” she said. “But seeing the struggles of children with cancer is heartbreaking and I felt that many people want to offer support, but don’t know how. “These kids should be growing up and experiencing life, but instead their first steps in life are fighting cancer in a hospital bed – it’s terrible to witness especially when they can’t speak or move. “Some kids are less than one year old and are dealing with treatment, hospital settings and medical appointments on a daily basis – it’s an awful way to live.” Lisa decided to throw her support behind Footy Colours Day, which raises money to help children with cancer continue their education while undergoing treatment, as well as supporting families and the work of the Fight Cancer Foundation. She has been busy selling raffle tickets since August and has already raised $1,694, with fundraising continuing until September 25. “I’ve been selling raffle tickets since August and I’ve hit almost $1,694 raised with the deadline closing into September 25,” she said. Tickets cost $2 each, three for $5 or six for $10, with a range of prizes up for grabs when the raffle is drawn on Friday, September 25.

HAVE YOUR SAY NOW

B EF ORE SEPTEMBE R 2 0 ON THE HASTINGS POINT SEWAGE PLANT UPGRADE The Tweed Coast is a unique environment – we must protect it

We all need clean seawater and beaches

After banking our rates over years, council now has $160 million available in the sewerage fund. This money should be used to upgrade the sewerage system. We cannot turn a blind eye to the plant’s pollution spewing across our dunes and beaches or being discharged into our coastal waterways. Sewage plants that impact the Great Barrier Reef require and achieve much better standards. Why can’t we? We want the BEST option that guarantees clean and healthy beaches and waterways. Our community has fought for and won better options than the initial ﬁx council proposed two years ago. We applaud council for recognising community concerns and improving the performance of their preferred option. The two options now on the table will deliver cleaner wastewater than we have now, but is it clean enough? Councillors will choose between two options later this year. Whichever option is adopted, it

is only a start in protecting public health and our environment. • Both proposed upgrade options will continue discharging pollutants into the dunes. The pollutant load is impacting the dunes, nearshore and coastal waterways. Increased population will make it worse. • Due to foreshore erosion from sea level rise and storm activity, catastrophic failure at the dunes is projected within the next two decades, yet council has no Plan B for sewage effluent discharge. • A plant upgrade costing ratepayers more than $60 million needs to incorporate plans for the future and the bigger environmental picture. What is the standard of treatment effluent required for Plan B? This is the standard we should be implementing now! Yes, we urgently need an upgrade, BUT it’s only the start. Let’s also urge council that this is an unfinished issue requiring improvements and ongoing attention.

WHY WE DESERVE THE BEST WASTEWATER TREATMENT “Hastings Point’s rich yet vulnerable aquatic zone, where the nearshore environment merges with estuary and coastal creeks, is a microcosm of the Great Barrier Reef for biodiversity.”

MAKE YOUR VIEWS KNOWN TO COUNCIL: 1. Put in a submission before September 20 at https://www.yoursaytweed.com. au/projects/hastings-point-plantupgrade 2. Send your comments to councillors prior to their November vote

The upgrade to this problematic plant has been deferred for nearly ten years - at our expense. Ratepayers have long paid for a standard we’re not getting. ANY additional council surcharge is unwarranted.

Cooking for one: Making mealtimes easier Cooking for one can sometimes feel like more effort than it is worth. Buying ingredients, preparing a complete meal and washing up afterwards can be time consuming, particularly when you only need a single serve. Fresh ingredients are also commonly sold in larger quantities, making it difficult to use everything before it spoils. This can lead to food waste, repeated leftovers or choosing a quick snack instead of preparing a balanced meal. Keeping a selection of frozen meals at home can make everyday mealtimes much easier. There is no need to plan days in advance or worry about fresh food going to waste. You can simply choose what you feel like eating and heat only the amount you need. Gourmet Meals offers a wide variety of complete frozen meals made with quality ingredients. With comforting roasts, chicken, seafood, pasta and vegetarian options available, you can enjoy something different throughout the week

without buying numerous ingredients or spending hours in the kitchen. Individual portions can also help make serving the right amount easier while reducing unnecessary waste. Having meals readily available is particularly helpful on days when shopping, cooking or standing in the kitchen feels more difficult than usual. The Gourmet Meals is reviewed by an accredited practicing dietitian approved and snap frozen to preserve its flavour and quality. Meals can be heated from frozen in just minutes, providing a convenient option for people living independently, managing a busy schedule or simply wanting an occasional break from cooking. With a selection of meals in the freezer, you can enjoy greater variety and make mealtimes simple, satisfying and enjoyable.

Elder Peter on Student P

Student P on Elder Peter

This morning I met an energetic young man with great aspirations. He’s researching entrepreneurship and money. I learnt he wants to start his own business as an influencer, or maybe become a consultant physical trainer, or even create a business model that does not exist yet. Maybe it could be about improving young people’s health. So many thought bubbles floating around in that head! His ideas are big and freeform at the moment... As we talked further I found that he likes hanging out with his mates and is very excited about soon turning eighteen so he can do some hard clubbing! He also already enjoys adrenaline activities like bridge-jumping and trampolining and would like to do more. Outside school he has two jobs to fund his passion for fashion clothing and sports shoes. Looking to the future, he wants to document his life in a film or a book to leave an interesting legacy for young people. Although this is undefined, I would definitely follow each episode!

Peter’s a retired engineer, though he’s still out there mentoring young engineers and picking up consulting work now and then. So retirement hasn’t really slowed him down. He grew up in Sydney and, like a lot of people, worked all kinds of jobs while he was studying, mainly labour-type jobs on building sites. Later on he started running his own businesses, not such a strange path for him since his dad was a self-employed builder, and he’d grown up seeing what that kind of independence looked like. He started out studying civil engineering but didn’t like it much, so he switched over to mechanical engineering, and that’s when things fell into place for him. Since then he’s started a few businesses of his own, worked alongside Dick Smith at one point, and ran a bicycle factory making triathlon frames for athletes competing internationally. He eventually ended up in the yacht industry, mostly around NSW and Queensland, making sure boats were structurally sound using computer simulations and the advanced materials he studied at uni He was a technical advisor for an Australian Americas Cup team. Peter has always liked working with his hands, whether that’s with machinery, cars, bikes or boats. If you ask him what matters most, he’ll say it’s integrity, being true to yourself and encouraging the people around you to do the same.

TWEED COMMUNITY organisations, sporting clubs, Council, Aboriginal organisations, sole traders and small businesses are being encouraged to apply for funding to help older people stay active, connected and independent. Round 2 of the Active Ageing Grants offers funding of $5,000 to $30,000 (excluding GST) for local physical activity programs, with $150,000 available across Northern NSW. The program is being delivered by Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) in partnership with Healthy North Coast through the North Coast Primary Health Network program. Funding will support practical, community-led activities that help older people become more physically active, improve their health and wellbeing, and strengthen social connections. Priority will be given to programs supporting people who are less active or socially connected, or who face barriers such as cost, transport, low confidence or limited opportunities to participate. One Tweed Valley organisation already benefiting from the first round is Meet Move Eat, which used its funding to expand its Chair Yoga and Coffee program in Murwillumbah, Uki and Tumbulgum. Founder Lisa Flower said the program

gives older people an opportunity to improve strength, balance and flexibility while building social connections. “We designed the program around a simple idea: move a little, connect a lot,” Ms Flower said. Participants spend an hour exercising before staying for coffee and conversation, with Ms Flower saying the program had helped people build confidence, friendships and a stronger sense of belonging. NNSWLHD Acting Director Oral Health and Health Promotion Graeme Williams said the grants could help remove some of the barriers older people face when trying to be active. “Regular physical activity is one of the best things older people can do for their health and wellbeing,” Mr Williams said. Funded activities will run from January 2027 to June 2028. Culturally safe activities supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are strongly encouraged. An online industry briefing will be held on September 16 at 3.30pm, with applications closing at 5pm on October 15. Applications must be submitted through TenderLink. For grant guidelines, application information and briefing details, visit the Healthy North Coast website or email commissioning@ hnc.org.au.

Tweed Valley Hospital performed well during the past quarter

Hospital’s report card By Jonathon Howard

MURWILLUMBAH & DISTRICT Hospital has emerged as one of Northern NSW’s strongest performers for emergency care, while Tweed Valley Hospital also recorded treatment times well above comparable hospitals across the state. The latest Bureau of Health Information Healthcare Quarterly report, covering April to June 2026, shows 90.2 per cent of patients at Murwillumbah District Hospital started treatment on time. That was well above the 74.1 per cent result for NSW hospitals of a similar size and higher than the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) average of 79.4 per cent. Murwillumbah hospital’s result also compared favourably with other individually reported hospitals across the district, including Tweed Valley Hospital at 82.1 per cent, Lismore Base Hospital at 78.8 per cent, Ballina District Hospital at 75.2 per cent and Grafton Base Hospital at 66.7 per cent. However, it is worth noting that Murwillumbah & District Hospital recorded 4,468 emergency department presentations during the quarter, while Tweed Valley Hospital handled more than three times that number with 14,653 presentations. Despite the significantly higher workload, 82.1 per cent of Tweed Valley Hospital patients started treatment on time,

well above the 67.2 per cent average for NSW hospitals of a similar size. Ambulance transfer times were particularly strong at Murwillumbah, where 97.2 per cent of patients arriving by ambulance were handed over to emergency department staff within the 30-minute benchmark. That compared with 82.1 per cent at Tweed Valley Hospital and 86.4 per cent across NNSWLHD. Murwillumbah also performed strongly in moving patients through its emergency department, with 89.4 per cent of patients who did not require admission or transfer discharged within four hours. At Tweed Valley Hospital, the figure was 80.7 per cent, slightly above the district-wide result of 80.1 per cent and well above the NSW average of 64 per cent. Surgery figures also improved at both Tweed Valley Hospital and Murwillumbah hospital. Murwillumbah performed 391 planned surgeries during the quarter, up 19.9 per cent on the same period last year, while its surgical waiting list fell by 22.9 per cent, or 127 patients. Tweed Valley Hospital performed 1,063 planned surgeries, an increase of 5.1 per cent. Across Northern NSW, emergency departments recorded 56,307 presentations during the quarter, while ambulance arrivals increased seven per cent to 10,523.

“90.2% of patients at Murwillumbah District Hospital started treatment on time” NNSWLHD Chief Executive Tracey Maisey praised staff across the region for improvements in patient care. “We continue to deliver high-quality, timely healthcare to the people of Northern NSW because of the concerted efforts of every staff member,” Ms Maisey said. Tweed Valley Hospital is also among hospitals to have introduced Safe Staffing Levels in its emergency department following the recruitment of additional nurses across the district. Meanwhile, community members are invited to the Northern NSW Local Health District Annual Public Meeting, to be held online at 10am on Tuesday, September 29. The meeting is a chance for people to hear about the District’s performance and achievements of the past year, as well as the future directions and strategic priorities for the health service across the Northern Rivers.

MORE THAN $63,000 could be shared among 21 Tweed community projects under the latest round of Tweed Shire Council’s Community Grants Program. Council received 45 applications seeking a combined $192,007, with officers recommending $63,865 to be allocated across projects supporting community wellbeing, safety, inclusion and social connections. Among the biggest proposed recipients are Burringbar School of Arts Hall, which could receive $5,000 to replace two dangerously rotten heritage-style windows, and Mt Warning Community Preschool, which is recommended to receive $5,000 for bathroom child safety improvements. Tweed Ngumbangan Dubays Aboriginal Corporation is also recommended for $5,000 for its Minjungbal Seniors and Elders Craft Group, while Chillingham Public Hall could receive $4,750 for a community movement and wellbeing program. Other proposed grants include $4,550 for The Family Centre’s Walk on Country, $4,050 for CWA Murwillumbah’s International Day Celebration and $3,402 for a replacement lifesaving defibrillator at Cabarita Beach. Murwillumbah Rural Fire Brigade is recommended to receive $3,067.73 for portable fireground radios, while Bogangar Public School P&C could receive $3,000 for its Paddock-to-Plate Garden Hub. Of the 45 applications assessed, 14 were recommended for full funding, seven for partial funding and 24 were unsuccessful. Councillors will consider the recommended allocations at their monthly meeting on Thursday, September 17.

Come along and enjoy the day!

This year marks the 800th anniversary of the death of St Francis of Assisi. Pope Leo announced 2026 as a Jubilee Year in his honour. St Francis is known for his love of animals and all of God’s creation. In this year of St Francis, Fr Paul McDonald, parish priest of St Anthony’s Parish in Kingscliff - wanted to mark the feast day of St Francis of Assisi in a special way. “I’ve always thought about holding a ‘blessing of pets’ in the spirit of St Francis, and when some parishioners came to me this year with the suggestion, I decided this was the perfect time!” In September, we mark the ‘Season of Creation’, a time to focus our attention on the beauty and majesty of God’s creation and our responsibility in preserving and caring for our common home. This season always concludes on the feast of St Francis of Assisi, who is considered the patron saint of ecology, and this year, his feast falls on Sunday 4th October.

The blessing of pets is open to everyone, with owners being responsible for the behaviour of their pets. St Anthony’s parish will provide a morning tea following the blessing and will also be collecting donations of tinned pet food, treats, toys and cat litter for the Friends of the Pound, to support their work rehoming unwanted and stray animals.

FOR TWEED local and Queensland firefighter Harry Eckert, a new creative project began with one simple thought: “I just wanted to make things again.” Before becoming a firefighter, Harry spent about six years working as a carpenter and also studied product design, giving him a combination of practical skills and a passion for creating something from scratch. Now he is returning to those creative roots through Ecko Studio, a project that began in his garage and is taking shape around his firefighting roster. “Ecko Studio started in my garage because I missed designing and physically making things,” Harry told The Weekly. “The simple idea behind it was, ‘I just want to make things again’.” On his days away from the fire station, Harry is back in the workshop sketching, experimenting with materials and turning ideas into physical pieces. His first project is a vinyl record cabinet, which is currently going through the design and prototyping stage. “I’m currently designing and prototyping my first furniture piece — a vinyl and record cabinet (pictured below) — and documenting the entire process online,” he said. “That includes all the mistakes and changes along the way.” Harry’s background in both carpentry and product design allows him to consider how a piece looks and functions while also tackling the practical challenges of how it can be built. “I’m building Ecko around my firefighting roster and working on it during

my days off,” he said. “I’m gradually trying to turn something that started in the garage into a proper local furniture and design project.” Harry also wants Ecko to retain a strong connection to the Tweed and Northern Rivers as it develops. “I’d like Ecko to stay connected to the Tweed and Northern Rivers, use and support local businesses where possible, and eventually produce furniture locally,” he said. His longer-term ambition is to create a small Australian furniture brand where craftsmanship and thoughtful design take priority over mass production. “The longer-term goal is to build a small Australian furniture brand focused on well-designed, considered pieces rather than mass production,” Harry said. For now, Harry hopes to spend his days off in his workshop, experimenting, learning and enjoying the satisfaction of making things again.

Balance disorders are typically under diagnosed and undertreated. More than 1/3 of adults aged 40 years and older experience vestibular dysfunction at some point in their lives. Common symptoms of vestibular disorders include vertigo and dizziness. Vertigo is a spinning or whirling sensation, or an illusion of the self or world moving. Dizziness is a lightheaded, ﬂoating or rocking sensation. Poor balance, nausea, visual disturbances, headache, hearing loss, tinnitus, and pain or fullness in the ears can accompany vestibular disorders.

“Why Do I Use this Photo in My Ads?”

“I know you.” That’s what

people usually say when they meet me in town. Then they say,

“You’re Eric. I’ve seen your ad with your photo.” Well, perhaps

I should tell you a little more about that photo, and why I use it in my ads. Let’s start with me, the crazy guy, holding his grandson. 35 years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. “I’m a carpenter working for a master carpenter at the time. We are building million dollar homes, I’m learning from one of the best. I’m young and making good money, life’s good. But, then it happens,…I develop severe lower back pain, my Doctor tells me I have a “herniated disc”. I’ve had low back pain off and on since the army but this is different. The pain is so intense I can’t stand

mostly just to stay “tuned up”. They know they are better with regular chiropractic care. It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their low back pain. But, they also come to me with

headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, sciatica, whiplash, back aches, asthma, reflux, numbness, athletic injuries, insomnia, just

to name a few. I would tell you what some of my patients had to say but my registration board won’t allow that. You should know that I don’t heal anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. We get tre-mendous results. It’s as simple as that! Many people do not have health insurance, and those who do have found their benefits only cover a portion of the care they need. That’s where chiropractic comes in. Many people find that they actually save money on their health care expenses by seeing a chiropractor. Studies show that people actually pay less for their long term overall health care expenses if they are seeing a chiropractor.

Another way to save … peerreviewed scientific studies show that chiropractic may increase certain immune system indicators, naturally and without drugs. Your immune system fights colds, the flu and other sickness. Although all people respond differently to chiropractic care, you may not be running off to the doctor as much. This is especially important if you are self-employed. You Benefit from an Amazing Offer – Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. My entire new patient exam, consultation and adjustment is $87 … the whole ball of wax. NO HIDDEN FEES. Please call right away, as appointments fill up fast and I don’t want you to miss out. By the way, further care is very affordable, too. You’ll be happy to know that I have affordable family plans. You see,

I’m not trying to seduce you to come see me with this low start up fee, then to only make it up with high fees after that. Further Care

is very important to consider when making your choice of a chiropractor. High costs can add up very quickly. Great care at a great fee… Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about

quality of care just because I have this lower exam fee offer. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications…I’m a Cum Laude graduate of Life University (USA). I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes. After practicing in North Queensland for five years, I moved my family here to Murwillumbah. I just have that low fee to help more people who need care. My assistant is Tanya. We have a GREAT massage therapist. They are really great people.

Dear friend,

up, and if I move it shoots sharp pain down my leg. There is no way I can work, I’m afraid I’ll lose my job if I don’t get better. My Doctor gives me drugs, that do not help. The surgeon says I’ll have to have surgery. I was only 23 and decided against it. Finally, my boss convinces me to give his doctor a try. This new doctor does an exam, takes some films and then “adjusts” my spine. The adjustment doesn’t hurt, it actually feels good. I get relief and I can actually walk out with no help! Oh, by the way, that new doctor is a Chiropractor. Chiropractic works so well for me and for the other ‘miracle cases’ I see in his office, that I decide to quit my job and go to Chiropractic School myself.” Now as for the photo, that is Silas, my grandson. I just wanted to show him off. You see, I have 5 daughters, 2 granddaughters and now him. He thinks the world of me, I think. Everyone gets adjusted, his whole family. In fact all of my adult kids get adjusted every chance they get. They love it. The challenges of raising a young family are stressful and getting adjusted helps us handle that stress. They all know enough to ask me to adjust them when they feel like they may be getting sick, or

From gold to world stage

00257 Travelschmoo 00249QP Stuff Matters QP

By Jo Kennett

AFTER MONTHS of training, Murwillumbah TAFE Automotive Mechanic student Edie Thurtell is set to represent Australia at the 48th WorldSkills International Competition in Shanghai. Running from September 22 to 27, the competition brings together the world’s best emerging skilled professionals across more than 60 disciplines, with competitors testing their technical skills and problem-solving abilities in simulated workplace environments. 10 TAFE NSW students have been selected for Australia’s 38-member Skillaroos team, including Edie, who won gold in Automotive Mechanics at the WorldSkills National Championships in Brisbane in June. That win gave Edie a major confidence boost ahead of the international competition. “Winning gold nationally showed me all the hard work was worth it,” Edie said. “It’s given me a lot more confidence.” Edie is concentrating on mastering the fundamentals and staying calm under pressure to prepare to compete against the best in the world. “If I know the basics well, I’ve always got something to fall back on if I get stressed out in the competition,” she said. The Automotive Mechanics competition will push Edie’s technical knowledge, precision and problem-solving skills, with demanding tasks to be completed against the clock. “We have to dismantle an engine, diagnose faults, rebuild it and test it, all within a few hours,” she said. “We also do this on gear boxes, steering, suspension, electric vehicles parts, brakes and auto electrical components.” Edie’s preparation reflects the intensity of the competition, where vocational education students benchmark their skills against international peers and global industry standards.

Her selection as a Skillaroo follows months of preparation and builds on the achievement of becoming a national champion in her trade. Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education Steve Whan said the strong representation of TAFE NSW students in the national team demonstrated the quality of their training. “Representing your country at a global competition like WorldSkills International is an extraordinary achievement and a testament to John and Edie’s exceptional talent, skill and dedication,” Minister Whan said. “To earn a place on the Australian Skillaroos team, alongside some of the nation’s best emerging tradespeople and skilled professionals, is something they should be incredibly proud of.” “It’s fantastic to see 10 TAFE NSW students stepping onto the world stage, showcasing the strength of our vocational education and training, and the skills that are helping build our state’s future workforce. “I wish John, Edie and the whole team the very best in Shanghai.”

Best NSW surf club lunch By Jo Kennett

meat raffles, and BYO food after 3pm,” Booth stated in the review. “It doesn’t get more northern NSW than Cabarita Beach SLSC’s The Deck. “40 minutes drive north of Byron Bay, 46 minutes drive south of the Gold Coast, this is a classic surf club feed you should make sure to try.” While Miimis, underneath Fingal Rovers SLSC, didn’t make the list as it doesn’t do lunch, it also has stunning views over the beach to Cook Island and up to the headland, Botero coffee which is roasted in Maclean, pastries from Bread Social, ice creams and milkshakes. It was described by one customer as “simply the best,” and who are we to disagree. Well done to all the locals putting in the hard yards so we can enjoy a drink and a bite to eat looking out over our beautiful Pacific Ocean.

A TEAM of travel experts have confirmed what Tweed locals have long known: we have the best surf clubs in the state for lunch made all the better by those delicious views. Escape Travel picked the the 12 best surf clubs in NSW for lunch and Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) at Kingscliff came out the winner, voted number one on a list that eschewed “over-priced cafes and pretentious restaurants” with James Booth from Escape Travel saying “surf clubs are the best way to score million dollar views with well-priced food. And even if your bacon roll turns out flabby; the scenery (and self-serve ketchup) will probably make up for it.” “1. Cudgen Headland SLSC, Kingscliff “Proving the point that eating in surf clubs is the Aussie travel hack you’ve been missing, is Cudgen Headland SLSC. “Up in Kingscliff on the far north coast, this surf club has a bistro upstairs and a cafe downstairs on the beachfront. If the beach views don’t get you, the food will.” That’s to say nothing of the great music, lovely locals and community vibe that makes Kingy surf club a winner. At number two, Cabarita Beach Surf Life Saving Club also garnered plenty of love. Locals were stoked for Pandanus Cafe owners Kerri and Dave Sommerville, who provide the food upstairs at the surf club. “We are super proud to be named number two,” Kerri told The Weekly. “Our chefs and staff work so hard to ensure that we are delivering fantastic service and food. “We are a small family-run business so it’s so nice to see all our hard work being rewarded. Locals also congratulated the club, built off the hard work of local members, with those gorgeous views over Cabarita Beach. “Whale watching, sangas, pandanus palms,

The work continues FOR YEARS, I had noticed the unfinished house beyond Tyalgum. Set against the valley and overlooking Wollumbin, the broad timber structure looked both permanent and incomplete — ambitious enough to draw the eye and unfinished enough to invite questions. Then I met the woman who built it. Visitors reach Shirley Kennedy’s home across sheets of plywood laid over the mud and enter from the side. Two large paintings she made while studying art slide across the opening where a formal entrance may one day stand. Inside, reclaimed hardwood beams hold one immense room filled with books, pottery, canvases, photographs, newspaper clippings and carefully preserved catalogues. The house is home, studio, workshop and archive. Its contents are abundant but not accidental. Shirley knows what she has and why it matters. Her own path into art was hard won. The seventh of nine children in a farming family, she recalls being told art was “a joke”. She did not enter university until she was 42. By then she had spent years making art and creating opportunities for other artists. Shirley recalls exhibiting at Murwillumbah’s School of Arts when the district had no permanent public gallery. She says she coordinated a local art prize for more than two decades and later advocated for prize-winning works to be acquired for a public collection. The historical line is not yet neat. The Murwillumbah Art Prize, Tweed Valley Art Prize, Border Art Prize and today’s Wollumbin Art Award appear across the record but may not form one unbroken lineage. That is not a difference to smooth over. It is a question to investigate. What is already documented is the breadth of Shirley’s contribution. Council records place her on the regional Gallery’s advisory committee, teaching regular life-drawing classes and

funding awards for artists. Her own practice spans painting, printmaking and pottery. Her records also place her among ten artists who created work for the 2001 ‘Site Works’ project, helping raise money for the new Gallery building. Shirley’s story is larger than a claim to one prize or building. It is about the less visible labour through which a region develops an artistic life: organising exhibitions, teaching, arguing, sponsoring artists, preserving records and insisting that local work be seen. This is not a final history. It is an opening portrait and an invitation to place memory beside catalogues, newspaper archives, Council minutes and the recollections of others. The house remains unfinished. Parts of the Tweed’s cultural history may be unfinished too. But the work continues. CAN YOU HELP? Readers with catalogues, photographs, newspaper clippings or memories of the Tweed’s early local art exhibitions, prizes and the regional Gallery are invited to contact Rada Campbell directly at radacampbell@gmail. com as this wider story continues.

A place at the table

00256 Jazz Club QP

By Rada Campbell

A FRIENDSHIP forged over games in Murwillumbah seven years ago has become a business built around helping other people find their own connections. At just 22, Will Hosier has teamed up with Marcus Offringa, 34, to open Mage Tower Games, a shop where the tables matter as much as the shelves. The pair met through former local games store Cracklepoint, where Will began playing as a teenager. Their friendship continued through Dungeons & Dragons and a shared ambition to one day open a store together. Now, with their official opening approaching on September 26, they are inviting the community to help shape what happens next. “We’re trying to work with the community to build the space,” Will told The Weekly. That means listening to what locals want to play, building a board game library and developing regular gatherings where people can meet around a table. For Marcus, the purpose is straightforward. “Get away from computers and get more faceto-face interaction,” he told The Weekly. His own experience shows how games can bring people together: he also met his partner through an online game. Marcus brings experience working in collectables shops, while Will grew up in the area and has been playing board and card games since he was about 14. After Cracklepoint closed, the pair played at a store in Tweed. When that business moved away, they saw an opportunity to finally pursue their own. Getting products onto the shelves proved harder than expected. Delayed deliveries arrived on

Thursday and Friday before their Saturday soft launch, leaving Will scrambling to prepare. “I spent two massive days here getting it ready to open Saturday,” he said. Timed to coincide with the town’s street party, the launch drew plenty of visitors despite being announced only the previous morning. Now the focus turns to giving people reasons to return. Wednesday Commander sessions start at 6pm, with players bringing their own Magic: The Gathering decks or purchasing ready-made ones. Friday Night Magic and Saturday board gaming are also planned. Beginners will be able to join learn-to-play sessions, with advance registration helping the owners organise instruction. The shop currently opens daily from 10am to 6pm, extending to 10pm on event nights. Most activities welcome walk-ins, making it possible to drop by and see what is happening. Celebrate Mage Tower Games’ official opening on Saturday, September 26, at Shop 33/27 Wharf Street, Murwillumbah. Follow Mage Tower Games on Facebook for updates.

Democracy under pressure New Olley picture in town

Simon Longstaff founded the Festival of Dangerous Ideas

By Madeleine Murray

THE POLITICS OF LIFE series continues its run of sold-out, high-octane speakers this month with Dr Simon Longstaff, one of Australia’s leading voices on ethics, and founder of the Festival of Dangerous Ideas. Longstaff will present Pushback: The Case for a More Ethical Australia at The Regent in Murwillumbah on Thursday, September 24. He brings a rare big picture perspective to the question: how do we preserve decency, fairness and justice in an era of political anger, social division and diminishing trust? “It is all too easy to forget that Australia is home to some of the most important democratic innovations in history,” Dr Longstaff told The Weekly. “Given this extraordinary history of democratic innovation – allowing for the peaceful transfer of power over generations – it is troubling to see growing evidence of people becoming disenchanted with the way in which our democracy serves their interests.

“There is a risk in this that Australia will follow the path taken by citizens in the UK and USA – where unrecognised grievances have led people to back candidates who wish to ‘blow up’ the system rather than work to make it better.” So, is our democracy beyond repair? Is it worth fighting for? We can only answer such questions, with confidence, if we understand the essence of democracy and why, as citizens, we might think it worth caring about. “We need to understand how and why disenchantment has spread so wide and deep across our community. Finally, we should consider what it takes to build and sustain democratic institutions that merit the trust of the community,” Longstaff continued. “I don’t think we should take democracy for granted. I hope others will join us to consider what is required to keep it healthy – as the foundation for a just and prosperous future, for all.” An author, educator, adviser and campaigner, Longstaff has spent decades examining ethics, civic responsibility and the moral foundations of society. As Executive Director of The Ethics Centre, he has helped individuals, institutions and communities negotiate some of the most difficult moral questions of contemporary life. The Festival of Dangerous Ideas has spent 17 years doing much the same on a public stage. Its speakers have included Salman Rushdie, Maria Alyokhina of Pussy Riot, Masha Gessen, Germaine Greer, Christopher Hitchens, Marcia Langton, and many more. Pushback is at 6:30 pm, on Thursday, September 24, at The Regent, 5 Brisbane Street, Murwillumbah. Doors open at 5pm with food and drinks available. Tickets are $15 online or $20 at the door. Music by the Chillingham Voices Choir.

A SIGNIFICANT Margaret Olley painting from the National Gallery of Australia is coming to the Tweed as part of a new exhibition celebrating the renowned artist’s lifelong fascination with still life. White still life (1977) will be displayed at the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre as part of Margaret Olley: Shapes of Stillness, opening on Friday, September 18. The painting is on long-term loan through the Australian Government’s Sharing the National Collection program and will join three other Olley works and a painting by Italian artist Giorgio Morandi currently on loan to the gallery. Federal Arts Minister Tony Burke said the Tweed was a fitting destination for the work. “There’s no more appropriate place for this work of art than the Margaret Olley Art Centre,” Mr Burke said. Painted in the kitchen of Olley’s friend and fellow artist David Strachan, White still life reflects a period when Olley was experimenting with a restricted colour palette and the effects of light at different times of day. The Shapes of Stillness exhibition spans three decades of Olley’s career and explores her fascination with ev-

eryday objects, including vessels, fruit, flowers and household furniture. Gallery Director Ingrid Hedgcock said the exhibition had received strong support from private collectors and public institutions across Australia. “Shapes of Stillness is a celebration of Margaret Olley’s practice — her unwavering devotion to the genre of still life: to placement, proportion, light, form and the enduring presence of the everyday,” she said. The exhibition will run at the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre until March 7, 2027.

FOR ALL your rubbish removal needs there’s no job too big or small for Northern Rivers Rubbish Removal. The business is headed up by passionate local operator Ben Anderson who has been covering the Tweed for last 12 months and has recently expanded the service. “We have extended our run which picks it up Gold Coast to Grafton and we have been looking removing rubbish for NDIS participants and elderly all through the Tweed,” he said. Mr Anderson’s team offer free no obligation quotes on all jobs with fast turnaround. “We also have extensive experience in difficult situations such as deceased estates and NDIS participants with mental health issues and dementia in elderly,” he said. “Efficient hands-on approach we do the work with fast turnaround.” Ben and his team offer an experience that is “down to earth and reliable”. “We let the customer talk and we get an understanding of what they want removed and want to achieve with no price gouging or mess left behind,” he said. The feedback for Northern Rivers

0421 493 136

Rubbish Removal has been outstanding. “As the owner I love getting the text message when my guys have left a job from our customer, whether it be a big contract job or a little old lady, letting us know that they are thanking us once again and let us know that they appreciate the great service,” he said. “Remember we offer free quotes on all jobs with no job too big or small.” Ben said he plans to extend his fleet of vehicles and trailers taking on more workers and training them up to have good physical and mental fitness and communication skills with customers. “And in turn give what we can back to the homeless or women in domestic violence or anybody doing it tough in any way we can,” he said. Call Ben and his team at Northern River Rubbish Removal on: 0421 493 136.

SINESS FEATURED BU CLICK IT COMPUTERS has been operating on the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers for over 10 years now. Owned and operated by Brett Reeve, I have served thousands of home and small business clients. Originally my starting point for the business was noticing a large portion of people were disgruntled with the service and pricing of IT services at the time. I knew there was a better, easier solution. “I started Click IT in 2009 with the aim to bring more affordable, friendly and knowledgeable technical support to the Gold Coast and Tweed. With 10 previous years of IT experience working nationally and internationally, I had the knowledge and tools to step out on my own and bring my vision to light.” With Click IT, I provide friendly, simple and cost-effective fixes to all home and small business clients. Up front and fixed pricing means nobody is stuck with a surprise bill, and my prices have always been one of the most affordable options since I started. All of my clients receive personal free phone support and advice. Moving to the Tweed in

Lockers for Murwillumbah RFS Brigade By Jonathon Howard

MEMBER FOR Lismore Janelle Saffin has congratulated Murwillumbah Rural Fire Service Brigade on taking delivery of 21 new lockers for their firefighters to store personal protective clothing, including helmets and boots. Ms Saffin helped secure a $9,250 grant towards these mobile lockers under the Minns Labor Government’s 2025 Community Building Partnership Program. “In thanking me, Deputy Captain 1 Don Bentley tells me brigade members were really impressed with the quality workmanship of Lismore-based

Elli’s kicking goals in the USA By Jonathon Howard

FROM KICKING a ball around with Tweed United as a five-year-old to captaining a college soccer team in the United States, former Tweed Shire student Elli Steel is proving just how far determination and a willingness to take a chance can lead. Elli moved to Banora Point when she was about 18 months old and began playing with Tweed United Soccer Club at five, remaining there until she was 11. She later spent a season with Kingscliff Soccer Club before joining Gold Coast United, where she played for six years and continued developing her game. That journey eventually took Elli thousands of kilometres from home to the small Colorado town of La Junta and Otero College. “My U.S. college journey first started in a small town in Colorado called La Junta,” Elli told The Weekly. “I attended Otero College for two years where I played and captained the soccer team, as well as graduating with an Associate of Arts degree with the highest distinction.” The experience gave Elli the opportunity to

travel across the US while competing and studying but finding the next step in her journey required plenty of persistence. After months of searching and contacting more than 100 schools, Elli secured a place at Division II Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri. “After multiple stressful months and emailing over 100 schools, I committed to a Division 2 school called Southwest Baptist University,” she said. Now studying psychology while continuing her soccer career, Elli said she had quickly settled into her new surroundings. “I have already made such special friendships

NRRRL final wrap-up By Jonathon Howard

TWEED RUGBY league clubs have capped off an outstanding NRRRL season with premiership victories and a courageous A-Grade grand final performance in front of a huge Murwillumbah and Casino crowd. Around 5,000 spectators packed in to watch the Murwillumbah Mustangs at the Murwillumbah Leagues Club take on the Casino Cougars in the A-Grade decider on Sunday, September 13, with the Cougars ultimately claiming the premiership 26-14. While it was not the result the Mustangs had hoped for, the side fought out the full 80 minutes and capped an impressive season for the club. It was the first NRRRL A-Grade grand final win for Casino in 36 years, with outstanding performance from Waylon Caldwell alongside a strong team. While not finishing on top, the Mustangs A-Grade players should be immensely proud of their season and have built an incredible foundation for next year. There was plenty for Murwillumbah supporters to celebrate earlier, with the Mustangs Under-18s defeating the Cudgen Hornets 24-10 to secure the premiership. In a tough battle between two Tweed teams, the young Mustangs came out on top, with Sonny Aberdeen named Player of the Match. The result completed a memorable season for the Under-18s and highlighted the strength of emerging rugby league talent in the Tweed. There was more grand final success for the

region when the Bilambil Jets produced a dominant performance to claim the Reserve Grade premiership. The Jets defeated the Byron Bay Red Devils 32-6, putting together an emphatic display from the opening whistle to the final siren. The club praised the players for showing “heart, toughness, belief and plenty of Jets spirit” on their way to the title. “To every player, coach, trainer, volunteer, family member and supporter who has been part of this journey — this one is for all of you,” the club said. “We are incredibly proud of this group and everything they have achieved.” Tweed Heads Seagulls also returned home with silverware after their Ladies League Tag side completed a remarkable undefeated season. The Seagulls defeated Marist Brothers 18-0 in the grand final to claim their third Ladies League Tag premiership. “The ladies didn’t falter, finishing the season with all wins,” the club said. “We are so proud.” The results capped another successful NRRRL campaign for Tweed clubs, with teams from Murwillumbah, Bilambil and Tweed Heads all featuring prominently on grand final day. For the Mustangs, despite falling one game short of the A-Grade title, the performances across the grades provided plenty of reasons to celebrate a strong season — and plenty to build on for 2027.

within my team and outside my team,” she said. “I’m excited to see where my journey at SBU takes me and what the future holds for me athletically and academically.” Elli’s mother moved to Fernvale in 2025, which is now Elli’s Australian base when she returns home from the US. For other young Tweed athletes considering opportunities further afield, Elli has some simple advice. “If you have the chance, take it,” she said. “Whether it’s in Australia or overseas, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it is so worth it. “It may seem intimidating at first, but you meet the most amazing people who make you feel so welcomed and you soon begin to feel like it’s a second home.” We’re all throwing our support behind Elli from the Tweed to the States.

Agent of the Week

OUR AGENT of the Week is Justin Schmith, Selling Principal and Director at Schmith Estate Agents. Born and raised here, Justin knows this beautiful part of the world not just as an agent, but as his home. With a genuine passion for the community and the lifestyle we’re so lucky to enjoy, Justin brings local knowledge, energy and a deeply personal approach to every property journey. Holding real estate licences in both Queensland and New South Wales, Justin is well placed to help clients navigate the market with confidence. His philosophy is simple: “It’s All About You.” A determined, hardworking and friendly agent, Justin embraces innovative ways to deliver exceptional service while always staying focused on achieving the best possible result for his clients. We caught up with Justin for a chat.

WHAT WAS THE MOST INTERESTING THING YOU DID BEFORE GOING INTO REAL ESTATE?

I ran high-end hotels and restaurants and before that I worked in bars, clubs hosting nights, and as an events promoter and a DJ. I went to Southern Cross Uni and did a Bachelor of Business, specialising in

event management. I worked at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre at the same time so I was a fulltime student working full-time. It nearly killed me.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO INTO THE INDUSTRY?

I was born and raised in an old-time local family and struggled growing up, got very hungry, and felt qualified with degrees and being from the area. I love the area and thought if I became successful, I could make a difference in a good way somehow, like sponsoring all the things I sponsor and maybe making development more sustainable, things like that.

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

I specialise in all types of real estate, particularly residential. Breaking residential down, acreage can be fun to explore but I enjoy working with all types of properties. As my career has progressed, having that attention to detail, knowledge and networks has helped me move more and more into high-end properties and projects.

Genuine movers, people with circumstantial changes, or relocating, as well as up and downsizers and owner occupiers.

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

There is more compliance due to legislative changes, more paperwork, more technology and more stress to navigate.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR SELLERS?

Talk to experts because the world is full of misleading information. Be grateful and realistic. I closed a property for $10 million last week, so with the right approach you can still achieve great results.

WHAT ABOUT BUYERS? ANY ADVICE?

Be honest about what you want, get familiar with agents, and my gold tip is, don’t always rely on realestate.com. au (REA) for all listings.

WHAT DO YOU GET UP TO WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING?

I’m pretty much always on (always talking business or similar even when I’m off) but if possible surfing and nature is pretty up there, going missing in a forest with no phone reception is superb. I love good food and company and entertaining often.
