Old hospital site to transform

project would help address the housing shortage.

“This is another example of the Minns Labor Government unlocking hundreds of homes where they’re needed most,” Mr Scully said.

“As well as delivering 800 new homes, the proposed Tweed Heads development will also deliver more greenery and improve community access to the waterfront helping us to build better communities.”

Minister for the North Coast Janelle Saffin said the development would ease housing pressures.

“Tweed Heads is one of the fastest-growing communities in NSW, which has placed immense pressure on local rental and housing markets. Unlocking this site to deliver 800 new homes is a massive win that will inject much-needed supply exactly where families want to live.

“For over half a century, this land served a vital purpose for the people of the Tweed. It is fitting that its next chapter will continue to support the community by

providing secure, well-connected housing and vibrant new public spaces right on the waterfront.”

Landcom Chief Executive Officer Alexander Wendler said the project marked “the beginning of an exciting new chapter” for the site.

“Landcom is making homes happen for the Tweed region,” Mr Wendler said.

“This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the site and demonstrates Landcom’s important role in unlocking surplus government land for much needed housing.

“Landcom has a strong commitment to the Northern Rivers region including the delivery of 50 build-to-rent homes and a nearby 400-home subdivision project in Lismore, and affordable housing projects in Goonellabah and Mullumbimby.”

THE FORMER Tweed Hospital site is set to be transformed into a major waterfront housing precinct, with plans unveiled for up to 800 apartments, including up to 10 per cent affordable housing.

The site at the corner of Powell and Florence streets will be transferred from NSW Health to Landcom as part of the NSW Government’s Property Audit, which identified 75 surplus government-owned sites with the potential to deliver more than 12,000 homes across the state.

A State Significant Development Application is expected in early 2027, with construction anticipated to begin in 2029, subject to planning approval. The project will also include new walking and cycling paths, more public open space and tree canopy, while existing health services will relocate nearby.

Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said the redevelopment would ensure the site continued serving the community.

“The former Tweed Hospital site was at the centre of health care for more than 50 years, supporting local families through some of the most important moments of their lives,” Mr Park said.

“While healthcare has moved to the state-of-the-art Tweed Valley Hospital, I am pleased this site will continue to serve the community by delivering much-needed housing.

“Honouring our commitment to Tweed Heads residents, NSW Health will continue to deliver local health services in the area, with BreastScreen NSW, community health services, and Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drugs Services set to relocate.”

Planning Minister Paul Scully said the

“We’ll be working closely with our staff and patients to ensure a safe and smooth transition to the new location and will keep everyone informed as relocation dates are finalised.”

At present, there is no change to existing health services delivered at the old Tweed Hospital site, and all contact numbers, opening hours and service locations remain the same.

Further up-to-date information will be provided on the NNSWLHD website.

Northern NSW Local Health District Chief Executive Tracey Maisey said the relocation of the remaining health services would enable residents to continue to access vital healthcare in the centre of Tweed Heads.

“This relocation upholds our previous commitment to the local community, retaining a range of community health services in the Tweed Heads area to meet the ongoing healthcare needs of local residents,” Ms Maisey said.

“We are looking forward to delivering these important community health services in what will be modern, refurbished, fit-for-purpose facilities in the safe and secure environment of Tweed Mall, where there is ample free parking for clients.

PLANNING IS already underway to relocate remaining health services off the old Tweed Hospital site, which will provide patients and staff with new clinic spaces and modern, refurbished facilities.

Health services currently delivered from the former hospital site will move to new clinic spaces at the Tweed Mall, on Wharf Street, Tweed Heads in late 2026.

These services include the BreastScreen NSW clinic, Tweed Community Health services, and community-based Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs services.

The Needle and Syringe Program kiosk and the Tweed Heads Ambulance Station will remain located at the former hospital site.

Our farmland is our future

In the view of the Kingscliff Ratepayers & Progress Association, the Cudgen Connection proposal threatens everything that we love about our rural/coastal character and lifestyle including rezoning State Significant Farmland and quadrupling the built height limits at Cudgen (from nine metres to 38 metres).

It would be naïve to think that if this proposal is approved there won’t be other developers lining up to use this decision as a precedent.

Goodbye State Significant Farmland. Goodbye hard fought for building height limits that make the Tweed Coast the special place it is.

This is a defining moment for our community. Our community has been fighting for decades to protect our relaxed lifestyle and low-medium rise environment. It is not unreasonable to expect our elected representatives to support us.

To this end we say thank you to Mayor Chris Cherry for her motion to write to the NSW Planning Minister to again highlight Tweed Shire Council and community’s serious concerns around the Cudgen Connection planning proposal.

Thanks also to Tweed Deputy Mayor Reece Byrnes, Councillor Meredith Dennis and Councillor Nola Firth for supporting this motion.

We encourage our community to do the same as Council and write to the Minister Paul Scully MP. Don’t let this critical community matter be hijacked.

On the other hand, Tweed residents have been waiting for decades for a private hospital with specialist suites to reduce the pressure on public hospitals and the frequent need to travel to Tugun. Having residential quarters within walking distance of both hospitals and TAFE also makes sense.

To those objecting to the loss of farmland, I ask: “when was that land last commercially farmed?” and “do you also oppose the loss of vast swathes of farmland to wind/solar facilities and their high-voltage transmission lines, or to trees for carbon credits?” I hope our councillors can put aside ideology and party politics to look objectively at the amended proposal and work together to achieve the best outcome for all Tweed residents.

Natural composting

Government employment advice from an expert

The following is some timely advice regarding the three government-application mistakes made by people who are capable of applying for government roles but often fall short.

Many capable Tweed applicants could transfer their experience into NSW Government roles, but their applications can miss shortlisting because the evidence is difficult to see.

The first mistake is describing duties rather than results.

“Managed customers” tells a panel little. A stronger example explains the problem, the action taken and the result—such as reducing response times, coordinating a team or resolving a difficult service issue. The second is assuming transferable experience is obvious.

Work in local business, health, education, community services or administration can demonstrate planning, judgement, communication and service delivery. Applicants should name the connection instead of making the panel guess.

The third is relying on broad claims such as “excellent communication skills”. A specific example gives the panel something to assess: who needed what, what the applicant did, and what changed.

Before submitting, applicants should

Talk about SovietRussian style building

Never underestimate a government authority’s ability to make a sow’s ear of a silk purse.

The planned $5-million social housing project at Tweed Heads South is a chance to showcase a much-needed project for the NSW Land and Housing Corporation (TVW, July 16, page 20). Alas the illustration in last week’s Tweed Valley Weekly shows something out of 1950s Soviet Russia.

It looks like two cement blocks laid side by side. London has the Shard, Paris the Eiffel Tower, the Tweed gets two bricks the colour of something you flush down a toilet, or more charitably, plain cooking chocolate.

With a rainbow of local natural colours - the ocean, beaches, pink dawn and purple sunsets - we get brown.

And perhaps your reporter could investigate what exactly are the ‘prefabricated timber-based components’ to be used in construction?

Operation break the USA

As Trump breaks his words and sends the US military against Iran, yet again the price of diesel and aviation fuel in America is going to go up big time, as it imports most of the heavy oil it needs for its diesel and aviation fuel.

With Iran and Russian off-stream, Mexico and Venezuela cannot make up the difference in the short term.

America is only self-sufficient in the lighter motor vehicle oil and Trump has already drawn down a massive amount of the American strategic Oil Reserve to cushion fuel price increases — a trick you can only do once.

The more expensive it is for trucks and planes to operate the more US interest rates will rise along with food prices and the cost of living as a consequence inflation will sky -rocket whilst the US stock market goes south.

Operation Epic Fury (the name by which Trump launched strikes against Iran on February 28, 2026) has become operation Jurassic Park as Iran’s centrifuges spin up its 80 per cent enriched uranium into nuclear weapons and threaten to kill Trump.

Correction to Antiques & Collectables Exhibition & Trading Fair

An article published in The Weekly on July 16 contained incorrect details about the upcoming Northern Rivers Bottle & Collectors Club (NRBCC) Antiques & Collectables Exhibition & Trading Fair.

The event, run by Trevor Brooks in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Mt Warning AM, will be held at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre from

8.30am to 2pm on Sunday, August 9.

The original stor y incorrectly listed the event date, finishi n g t i m e a n d o r g a n i s e r. T h e o r g a n i s e r i s Tr e vo r B r o o k s .

The exhibition will feature antiques, collectables, vintage wares and memorabilia, with trading stalls, valuations, refreshments and fundraising in support of local community initiatives.

The Weekly would like to apologise to the Northern Rivers Bottle & Collectors Club, Trevor Brooks, the Rotary Club of Mt Warning AM and our readers for these errors.

Not the first breach

I think it’s important to note that this is far from the first time Cr Kimberly Hone has breached the Code of Meeting Practice following the July 16 council meeting. Previous videos of the meetings confirm this.

As mayor, Chris Cherry, has been gracious and extremely tolerant of such breaches, possibly too tolerant.

However, despite warnings, the prohibited ‘unfavourable personal remarks about or imputations of improper motives to councillors and or council staff’ have continued.

I believe this is impinging on the smooth running of council meetings and undermines community trust and confidence in council and councillors. If a councillor has a genuine complaint I believe it needs to be addressed through the appropriate channels such as a Code of Conduct complaint.

It is expressly prohibited to use a council meeting in this way. This is stated in the model state Code of Meeting practice, a version of which we have adopted by democratic vote.

Cr Hone to return without apology THERE WILL be no apology or retraction from Cr Kimberly Hone, after she was removed from Tweed Shire Council’s monthly meeting on Thursday, July 16, for refusing to withdraw comments she made regarding alleged “preferencing deals” with the Northern Regional Planning Panel and unnamed councillors during debate around the proposed Cudgen Connection development.

A majority of councillors voted to expel Cr Hone from the meeting under the Model Code of Meeting Practice, which prescribes a uniform set of rules to ensure council meetings are open, accessible, orderly, effective and efficient.

Council’s minutes record that Mayor Chris Cherry moved the motion and that a majority of the seven councillors voted to carry it, 4 to 3.

The debate that has followed online, drawing in One Nation figures and their supporters, has recast the removal as the mayor silencing a councillor under “new laws”.

Speaking to The Weekly on Monday, July 20, Cr Hone said she stood by her position and believed she had been “unlawfully removed”.

She said the code was being used against her to silence her views.

“The debate was squashed for having an opinion,” she said.

“These sorts of moves undermine the role of a councillor. I did have more to say. I only have five minutes and wasn’t given an opportunity to speak. What am I apologising for?”

The comments came during debate on a late mayoral minute from Mayor Cherry, who asked councillors to support writing to NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully to

“You are imputing improper motives to the council, which is a breach of the code.” honour the council’s adopted strategic planning documents, after the Northern Regional Planning Panel recommended approving the rezoning tied to the Cudgen Connection proposal, in opposition to Council’s strategic planning.

As debate turned to the planning panel, Cr Hone said: “First of all I don’t trust anything that comes out of the NRPP. I don’t feel half the council had a say. Some of them have done preference deals with councillors.”

Mayor Cherry raised a point of order, ruling the remarks imputed improper motives to councillors and to members of the planning panel, contrary to the Model Code, and repeatedly asked Cr Hone to withdraw or apologise. Cr Hone said she had not named any individual councillor and declined.

“I feel uncomfortable that there’s preference deal,” she said. “Not retracting and not apologising.”

The mayor said the issue was the code, not how Cr Hone felt.

“It’s not about whether you are uncomfortable,” Mayor Cherry said.

“You are imputing improper motives to the council, which is a breach of the code.”

Cr Hone again refused: “Sorry, I am not prepared to retract it.”

Mayor Cherry then moved that Cr Hone be expelled for the remainder of the meeting. Cr Rhiannon Brinsmead urged

councillors to reject the motion, calling it “outrageous,” but it was carried 4 to 3, with Mayor Cherry, Deputy Mayor Reece Byrnes, Cr Nola Firth and Cr Meredith Dennis in favour, and Cr James Owen, Cr Brinsmead and Cr Hone against.

When Cr Hone refused to leave the chamber, council officers advised that under the Model Code police would be required to give effect to the resolution.

The meeting was adjourned until midday while NSW Police attended; a council spokesperson later confirmed officers came only to help implement the council’s decision.

Council eager to move on Church breakContinued from page 5.

Cr Hone has framed the removal as an attack on free speech.

However, under the code, she was not sanctioned for holding a view instead it was for an “act of disorder” which includes imputing improper motives to other councillors or staff, and she was asked to withdraw the remarks and continue taking part in the meeting before the motion to expel her was moved.

“It saddens me to see incivility in our Chambers,” Mayor Cherry said, “as it should be a place for robust debate on strategic direction and policy considerations for the betterment of our shire, not as a forum for unfounded personal remarks or comments.”

Mayor Cherry has also rejected the suggestion that new powers were used by her in council’s Model Code of Practice.

The Model Code is made under the Local Government Act 1993 and has governed council meetings for years; a revised version that briefly took effect in January was disallowed by the NSW Legislative Council in May, and Tweed reverted to the earlier code in June.

Speaking to ABC Gold Coast Breakfast the following day, Mayor Cherry said councillors do not have the parliamentary privilege that protects members of state and federal parliaments, and that she could not allow unfounded allegations to damage reputations.

On the substance of the allegation, Mayor Cherry was unequivocal.

“There were no preference deals made between any members of the Northern Regional Planning Panel (NRPP) and elected councillors,” she said.

The panel had already approved the change-of-use application for the site, and

no evidence has been presented to support the claim.

It is understood another panel member directed preferences to several councillors when he himself ran for council, but directing preferences is a candidate’s right and is not evidence of a reciprocal arrangement, and that member had no decision-making role in the Cudgen matter.

Can Cr Hone return to chambers in August?

Cr Hone maintains she can return to future meetings without apologising or retracting.

“As far as the code goes, my understanding is that I can return to future meetings without an apology or retraction,” she said.

The Office of Local Government has since advised any decision on whether a retraction or apology is required prior to the councillor returning to duties, rests with the council.

A Tweed Shire Council spokesperson said it had decided that Cr Hone should be able to return to the next meeting.

Mayor Chris Cherry said she hoped the matter could now be put behind the coun-

cil so councillors could focus on the work residents elected them to do.

“The matter relating to the July 16 meeting has now run its course,” Mayor Cherry told The Weekly.

“I expect all councillors to return their focus to the responsibilities they were elected to carry out and to continue serving our community.

“There is important work ahead for the Tweed and I look forward to getting back to business as usual.”

NSW Minister for Local Government Ron Hoenig was questioned on the matter and said the community expected councillors to focus on the work of local government.

Minister Hoenig said it was “not appropriate” to comment on individual matters or decisions by councils.

“The community expects councillors to conduct themselves properly, adhere to the rulings of the Chair and get on with the job they were elected to do,” Minister Hoenig said.

“There is no place for conduct that undermines the proper functioning of a council.

“Councils now have clearer pathways to deal with misconduct during meetings.

“The public expects high standards from elected representatives, and they deserve nothing less.”

By Jo Kennett

A 41-YEAR-OLD woman has been charged following an investigation into an alleged break-in at King’s Church in Tweed Heads South.

Tweed/Byron Police District’s Proactive Crime Team executed a search warrant at a Banora Point home on Friday, July 17, as part of the ongoing investigation.

Police began investigating after the alleged break and enter at King’s Church on Corporation Circuit on July 8.

During the incident, a number of Apple products, including an Apple iPad and Apple MacBook, along with other items, were allegedly stolen.

As inquiries continued, investigators identified a vehicle allegedly linked to the offence parked outside a Banora Point residence.

Police executed a search warrant at the home about 2.50pm on July 17.

During the search, officers allegedly seized about 26ml of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and 1.2 grams of methylamphetamine.

Police also recovered a quantity of suspected stolen property, including Apple MacBook computers, kitchenware, clothing and other items believed to be the proceeds of crime and potentially linked to additional offences across the Tweed/Byron Police District.

A 41-year-old woman was arrested at the scene and charged with aggravated break, enter and steal, possessing GHB and possessing methylamphetamine.

She was refused bail and appeared before Bail Division Court on Saturday, July 18, where bail was again refused.

The woman remains in custody on remand pending further court proceedings.

Tweed Byron Police District continues to investigate the recovered property and is urging anyone with information about property offences to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A bright future for Shaping Outcomes

By Jo Kennett

A MUCH-loved disability support provider has welcomed families into its new Tweed Heads South premises after two years of uncertainty, with a launch held on Wednesday, July 15, attended by donors, local politicians and supporters.

Shaping Outcomes, which provides early intervention services for children with developmental delays and disability, continued supporting local families after being unexpectedly evicted from its long-established premises at the old Tweed Hospital.

The organisation worked to secure a permanent home while maintaining vital therapy and support services throughout the transition.

The breakthrough came when Twin Towns’ Twinnies Gives stepped in with an offer to purchase a new premises for Shaping Outcomes and provide it rent-free for 20 years before transferring ownership to the organisation.

“With this donation from Twinnies Gives we have been able to secure our facility and now we can plan for a future where our families get the best possible outcomes,” Shaping Outcomes CEO Colin Usher said.

“It’s an amazing space and the families are loving it.”

“That insecurity about what the future held was hard for some families but now they can come and relax and it’s designed to meet the children’s needs much better than what we had before.”

Mr Usher said the new facility in-

cluded a sensory space, movement area and teaching spaces designed to better prepare children for mainstream environments.

“We can really prepare the children to be included in the mainstream where their developmental stages are met a whole lot quicker.”

He thanked the community for its support throughout the organisation’s challenges.

“A huge thank you to all of our community, everyone who’s donated stuff, everyone who’s written to the minister, everybody who’s encouraged us about the support work that we do and the services we provide,” he said.

“They’ve made sure that we have seen the value that we bring to our community so we’re really proud of our community and thankful for the support they’ve provided to us.”

NSW Health Minister Ryan Park also provided some NSW government funding to assist with renovation costs.

“We are very thankful for that but the big one is Twinnies Gives who have arranged for us to be able to stay here in our permanent homes for the next 40, 50 or 100 years,” Mr Usher said.

Twin Towns Services Community Foundation chair Ken Culpitt said the organisation developed a low-risk model to secure Shaping Outcomes’ future.

“We found a good low-risk rent to buy program where we essentially gift to them the rent over 20 years and then we give them the property at the end of 20 years,” he said.

“My colleagues were very creative

“the new facility included a sensory space, movement area and teaching spaces designed to better prepare children for mainstream environments” in thinking up that way to go forward.”

“So Twin Towns has helped Shaping Outcomes into the future to have the best possibility of sustaining their delivery to the community in spite of government changes.”

“We’ve tried to take the lowest-risk solution to make sure they have the highest chance of survival.”

Parent Elaine Johnston said Shaping Outcomes had played a major role in the life of her son Nathan, who was diagnosed with Down syndrome and Autism Level 2 as a child.

“We went to early intervention with Shaping Outcomes at the old hospital and I couldn’t have done anything better than to come to this place with occupational therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy on a weekly basis,” she said.

“Also the connection of the other mums, because you have your down days, and we can support each other.”

“Nathan ended up being the first child accepted at St James Primary School and he was in the top five for

reading because of the early intervention at Shaping Outcomes.”

“He’s 35 now and he works at IGA as a volunteer and helps out at Opal Aged Care singing to the dementia unit.”

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said Shaping Outcomes had a “lifetime touch” on children’s lives and

praised the community response.

“It’s been tough but the clubs, particularly Twin Towns, have come together and contributed to the Community Grants Funds but Twinnie Gives is separate and that’s where most of the funds for this has come from,” Mr Provest said.

Man charged over jersey theft

By Jo Kennett

TWEED BYRON Police have arrested a 34-year-old man following an investigation into a series of breakins, including the theft of Indigenous Round jerseys from the Tweed Heads Seagulls, which were recovered during a search warrant at a Tweed Heads West home on Thursday, July 16.

The club was broken into and the jerseys, along with other equipment, were stolen just days before the Indigenous Round, with the jerseys due to be auctioned after the game as a fundraiser.

A week later, the day before the arrest, there was another attempted break-in at the clubhouse.

Tweed Byron Police District Inspector Matt Woods said the Tweed Byron Proactive Crime Team had been investigating several break-ins and other offences in the Tweed Heads area, “particularly at Bunnings and the Tweed Seagulls Sporting Club.”

“Following those investigations, officers executed a search warrant at 11.30am, Thursday, July 16, at a residence in Tweed Heads West, where a 34-year-old man was arrested and has since been charged with a number of offences, including three break-ins at the Tweed Seagulls clubhouse,” Insp Woods told The Weekly.

He said police recovered all 20 jerseys after continuing investigations into the early hours.

“We’ve now got all 20 jerseys back, along with a number of other items.

There’s ice baths, footballs, some

electronic devices, strapping and gazebos,” he said.

“What has caused the community and club significant angst were the jerseys designed by a young Indigenous Tweed Heads girl that were to be used last weekend so that was at the front of mind to investigators.

“We know how important those celebrations were, and it had a significant impact on the club and the community, particularly with NAIDOC Week last week, so we were extremely happy to retrieve those.

“It’s not just the initial impact about stealing the items, it’s the associated damage caused to these clubs and its an ongoing financial impost on the club, with damage to fridges and other property.

“They’re looking at donations from the community and hosting raffles and other fundraising activities just to get the club back on track.

“We’re very happy to return all this to Craig Field as the club representative and First Grade coach and just applaud the work the Tweed Byron Proactive Crime Team has done.”

Insp Woods said the arrested man was known to police when they executed the search warrant at a Bailey Street unit, behind the Seagulls clubhouse, where officers allegedly located the jerseys, two loaded firearms, ammunition and other property suspected to be the proceeds of crime linked to offences across the Tweed Byron area as well as in Queensland.

Police also recovered gas bottles allegedly stolen from Bunnings, along

“Thousands of dollars’ worth of property was recovered yesterday.” with power tools and electric motorbikes believed to be stolen.

“Those will form part of our ongoing investigations, and we hope to return them to their rightful owners,” Insp Woods said.

“Thousands of dollars’ worth of property was recovered yesterday.”

He said police were also looking at executing a number of other warrants in relation to the thefts.

Alyce Togo, who designed the jerseys, said she was relieved they had been found.

“I’m so relieved they are back where they belong,” she said.

“I felt a lot of guilt because my aunties shared the story that belongs to the artwork with me.

“Thank you to Mr Woods and everyone involved for getting them back.”

Tweed Heads Seagulls NRRRL coach Craig Field said the theft had been devastating after months of planning for the club’s NAIDOC Week Indigenous Round.

“A lot of hard work went into it,” he said.

“Alyce Togo did the design and artwork and her mother Louise, who’s part of our committee and our function organiser, put a lot of time into it.

“We were going to auction the jerseys at the Cooly Hotel after the game and unfortunately all that fell through due to the theft.

“There were a lot of tears last week with the people that had done all the

hard work but we will come back bigger and better and move forward.

“We’re just happy to have the jerseys back and really appreciate the support of the community and the work of the police. It’s exciting for the club after such a bad week and now we can move forward.”

The club plans to hold a smoking ceremony before the jerseys are worn for the remainder of the season, while a replacement set donated by the Intra-Seagulls will be raffled at the club’s final home game.

The man was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with 11 offences, including three counts of break, enter and steal, two counts of possessing an unauthorised prohibited firearm and ammunition and possessing goods in custody.

The man was refused bail and appeared before Bail Division Court 1 on Friday, July 17.

Armed man dies after chase

96448 Chinderah Tavern HP

Kyogle Road was closed as police investigated the death Screenshot Ten news

“Unfortunately, that man died at the scene.”

A Tweed Byron Police spokesperson later told The Weekly that no shots had been discharged.

“Certainly these officers were faced with a dynamic and high-risk situation,” AC Chapman said.

“The involvement of a firearm certainly escalates that situation.

“They have provided a response and obviously they are aware that it is subject to investigation.”

The man is yet to be formally identified; however, is believed to be a 25-year-old man from Queensland.

Kyogle Road was closed as police established a crime scene, seizing a firearm from the vehicle for forensic examination. The road wasn’t reopened until Sunday night.

A critical incident team from Richmond Police District are leading the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident and a report will be prepared for the information of the NSW Coroner.

The investigation will be subject of an independent review by the Professional Standards Command and overseen by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is managed on a confidential basis.

A POLICE investigation is underway after an armed man died following a pursuit that began in Queensland and ended south of Murwillumbah on Sunday, July 19.

The incident began after reports a long-arm bolt-action rifle had been seen in the man’s utility at McDonald’s in Robina.

Queensland Police officers responded to reports of the armed man in a white ute on Robina Town Centre Drive at about 11.42pm on Saturday.

Police found him parked on the side of West Burleigh Road about 12.40am but he evaded officers and fled in his ute towards the Gold Coast Highway.

About 1am NSW Police received a report from Queensland Police that the man had driven across the border into NSW following a pursuit.

NSW Police commenced a search of the area before locating the man driving a Ford utility on Sexton Hill Drive, Banora Point.

Officers directed the man to stop; however, he failed to do so, and a pursuit was initiated.

The pursuit continued through multiple nearby suburbs before road spikes were successfully deployed against the Ford twice in South Murwillumbah.

The man continued to drive from police, with parts falling from the car as it progressed, until finally stopping down an embankment on Kyogle Road, Kunghur, about 26km south-west of Murwillumbah, about 2am on Sunday morning.

“At about 3am police sighted a man seated in the vehicle with a firearm across his lap,” NSW Assistant Police Commissioner Tracy Chapman said.

“They deployed OC spray [capsicum spray] and removed the man from the vehicle.

“At that time police became aware the man was unconscious and they immediately rendered first aid including CPR.

MARINE RESCUE Point Danger has joined forces with two other Northern Rivers units to rescue a yacht off the Byron coast on Monday, July 13.

Crews from Marine Rescue Brunswick in BR30 and Marine Rescue Point Danger in PD31 combined efforts to bring a 14 metre yacht safely to shore after it suffered fuel problems just north of Cape Byron and required a tow into safe waters.

The call for help was received by Marine Rescue Cape Byron radio base who activated and coordinated the response of both rescue vessels.

BR30 was first on scene shortly after lunchtime, getting the vessel, with two crew on board, under tow.

The yacht had a draft of 2.1 metres, which was just a little deep to safely cross the Brunswick bar at the time, with low tide at around 1pm.

Point Danger 31 with the yacht in tow

BR30 continued north and met up with Point Danger 31, activated earlier in the afternoon to meet BR30 and take over the tow to continue the tasking north into the Tweed River.

What started just after lunch stretched into the early evening, until the yacht was safely secured on a mooring in the Tweed River.

The very grateful owners were full of thanks and praise for all volunteer crews’ efforts.

Vehicle rollover incident A NISSAN X-Trail ended up on its roof in a paddock at Dunbible on Friday, July 17, with emergency crews praising motorists for their patience during the response.

Fire and Rescue NSW Murwillumbah and the Murwillumbah Rural Fire Service were called to the single-vehicle crash about 8.30am.

When firefighters arrived, they found the Nissan overturned in a field beside the road.

Fortunately, all occupants had safely exited the vehicle before emergency services arrived and no injuries were reported.

Crews temporarily closed the road and established traffic management measures to ensure the safety of emergency personnel and passing motorists.

Firefighters, assisted by the Rural Fire Service, also worked to contain fluids leaking from the

vehicle to prevent any environmental hazards.

“Despite being a minor incident, it was a good opportunity for some of our newest members to practice incident management and safe work principles,” firefighters said.

“We also appreciate the patience and understanding of all the road users we interacted with this morning despite the inconvenience for them.”

Jack Evans Boat Harbour foreshore set for $1.47 million revitalisation The much-loved Jack Evans Boat Harbour foreshore in Tweed Heads is set for a major revitalisation after Council secured $1 million from the NSW Government’s Crown Reserves Improvement Fund.

Council will also contribute to the project, bringing the total investment to $1.47 million to renew ageing infrastructure, improve safety and accessibility and enhance the visitor experience at one of the region’s most popular waterfront destinations.

The works include renewing the timber boardwalk with durable materials, upgrading the damaged tessellated concrete steps, improving pathways and accessibility, and enhancing seating, landscaping and shade. The project will also strengthen the precinct against future extreme weather, following significant damage from recent flood and storm events, so this important community asset remains safe and functional for years to come.

Jack Evans Boat Harbour is one of the most heavily used open spaces in the Tweed, hosting around 40 events each year and attracting an estimated 1.9 million visitors annually.

Community support for the upgrades is strong, with more than 1,000 people contributing feedback to the precinct’s long-term planning.

Last week, we each used

Council trivia Did you get last week's question right?

Answer: True.

Thanks to investments in flood protection, including relocating the new Murwillumbah Depot to flood-free land, Council has been able to regain some level of flood cover after losing it following the 2022 floods.

Revitalising a valued community space at Tweed Heads CBD.

“The upgraded foreshore will attract more visitors, support local businesses and provide a safer, more welcoming space for everyone,” Tweed Shire Council General Manager Troy Green said.

“It will also strengthen Tweed Heads as the gateway to NSW, building on the work already underway through the Tweed Heads CBD revitalisation project.”

Works are expected to start in mid-2026, with completion anticipated in 2027. The project builds on previous upgrades in the precinct, including the popular Goorimahbah – Place of Stories playspace.

You're invited to check out the new Murwillumbah Depot for yourself at our Depot Open Day on Saturday 8 August, from 10 am to 12 noon.

Have your say on the future of Corowa Park Corowa Park is more than just a green space – it's a place where people connect, relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Chinderah. Now there's an opportunity to help guide the next chapter for this much-loved local park.

Strong community feedback on the draft concept plan highlighted concerns about the proposed fenced off-leash dog area and its impact on the park's character, cultural significance, community connections, parking and overall amenity. At the same time, many residents have told us they value local places where dogs can be exercised off leash.

As a result, the draft design is being reviewed to better reflect community expectations. Alternative locations for a future off-leash dog area will also be explored.

The upcoming community conversation is an opportunity to share ideas, raise concerns and discuss what makes Corowa Park special.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on: • the future use and design of the park • access, parking and safety • park features and amenities.

Corowa Park: a local place ready for its next chapter.

Whether you've already shared feedback or are joining the conversation for the first time, your voice matters.

C zones will be applied to areas of high environmental value.

A Planning Proposal to apply Conservation Zones (C zones) to areas of high environmental value across the Tweed Coast is currently on public exhibition until Friday 28 August 2026.

The Tweed Conservation Zone Review will update the way land use zoning is used to protect the natural environment.

“The Tweed community have told us that protecting the natural environment is important to them, the C zone project is an important step in our commitment to preserve our unique environment,” said Naomi Searle, Council’s Director Sustainable Communities and Environment.

Zoning for environmental protection is not new to the Tweed, with the existing environmental zones covering more than 13,500 hectares of the Shire.

However, the mapping that underpins these zones has not been comprehensively reviewed or updated in almost 40 years.

Landowners on the Tweed Coast whose properties are proposed for zoning change have been mailed a letter inviting them to review the proposal and provide feedback. Only land meeting certain ecological criteria is eligible for a C zone.

“This is an important step to modernise our land zoning and we are committed to working closely with landowners and the broader community to make sure we get this right,” Naomi Searle said.

Free native trees to help Tweed schools grow greener, cooler playgrounds

Schools now able to apply for and collect free seedlings.

A new National Tree Day initiative is giving Tweed schools the chance to add more shade, support local wildlife and give students hands-on environmental learning opportunities.

Eligible schools can apply to receive up to 100 free native seedlings to plant on school grounds, helping create cooler and greener outdoor spaces for students and the wider school community.

The initiative encourages schools to play an active role in improving biodiversity while learning about the benefits trees bring to local neighbourhoods. As the seedlings grow, they will provide shade, habitat for wildlife and help reduce the impacts of urban heat.

Schools that take part can also request a Council education session exploring the benefits of trees and shade, urban heat and cooling, and a student citizen science activity measuring temperature differences between sunny and shaded areas.

Participating schools need to collect their seedlings from Council's nursery, plant and care for them on school grounds and share photos and updates along the way. This will help showcase the positive impact school communities are making across the Tweed.

The program is part of National Tree Day and supports creating greener, cooler places for people to learn, play and connect with nature.

Applications are now open, with schools able to apply for and collect seedlings until 30 September 2026.

Farm Walk and Talk spotlights local organic growers

Help fill gaps in existing plantings at Platypus Park, Uki.

The community is invited to roll up its sleeves and help restore important riverside habitat at Platypus Park, Uki, as part of National Tree Day on Sunday 26 July.

The free, family-friendly planting event will see volunteers fill gaps in existing vegetation and plant a diverse mix of understorey and groundcover species to support local wildlife and improve biodiversity along the Tweed River.

Located opposite Meadow Place in Uki, Platypus Park is cared for by Uki RiverCare volunteers through Tweed Shire Council's Nature Care Group program.

This will be the second National Tree Day planting event at the site. During the first event in 2015, volunteers planted more than 1,000 trees, helping establish the riverside habitat visitors enjoy today.

Since then, the area has endured 2 major floods and ongoing restoration works, creating new opportunities for the community to help strengthen and regenerate the site.

People of all ages and abilities are welcome to get involved. Volunteers are encouraged to bring gardening gloves, closed-in shoes and any favourite planting tools such as a trowel, shovel or mulch fork.

Watering cans and buckets will be available on site.

Participants are also welcome to bring a plate to share for a morning tea after the planting session.

The event is part of Planet Ark's National Tree Day program, Australia's largest community tree-planting and nature care event.

Local farmers and anyone interested in vegetable or flower farming are invited to a Farm Walk and Talk at Eungella, showcasing 2 thriving businesses on one property.

Meet Sylva and Ian from Sylva Lining Organics, a certified organic farm producing nutrient-rich food for local markets, and Sheia Sethi from Lifeforce Farm, who grows seasonal, bee-friendly flowers and foliage for florists and events.

The event will also feature mentors and participants

from Tweed Shire Council’s Profitable Regenerative Farming Program, sharing practical tips, lessons learned and farming success stories.

Disaster-ready Satellite WiFi EVACUATION AND relief centre across the Tweed and Northern Rivers are set to receive new disaster-ready satellite Wi-Fi services under a Labor Federal Government initiative aimed at keeping communities connected when natural disasters strike.

Member for Richmond Justine Elliot has announced 17 additional NBN Sky Muster satellite services will be installed across the Northern Rivers through the Strengthening Telecommunications Against Natural Disasters (STAND) program.

Among the new Tweed-based sites are Tumbulgum Community Hall, Uki Public Hall, Kunghur Community Hall and Tyalgum Community Hall, providing emergency internet access during floods, bushfires and other disasters.

The announcement builds on 11 services already installed across the region, including the Tweed Heads Civic Centre Auditorium and the Murwillumbah Civic and Cultural Centre, which serve as evacuation centres and emergency coordination points.

Mrs Elliot said the investment would help communities stay connected when conventional telecommunications infrastructure was damaged or unavailable.

“It’s essential that our communities can stay connected during disasters and emergencies when other networks are disrupted,” she said.

“These facilities provide vital Wi-Fi connectivity at evacuation centres and emergency coordination points, offering an alternative source of connectivity for emergency services and communities displaced by natural disasters when ground-based communications networks are down.”

The Albanese Government is investing a further $9 million to expand the STAND program, with new locations selected in collaboration with state and local governments based on areas most at risk from natural disasters.

Mrs Elliot said the satellite technology would provide reliable internet access when it was needed most.

“The new sites will provide reliable satellite connections and local Wi-Fi to provide communities with access to emergency services and keep communities connected during natural disasters,” she said.

“Knowing that you can access satellite Wi-Fi at evacuation and relief centres across the region brings peace of mind.”

She said the investment formed part of a broader commitment to strengthen telecommunications resilience across Australia.

“This is just one of the initiatives our government is taking to build strong, resilient telecommunications networks across the country that keep communities safe, connected and informed in times of crisis,” Mrs Elliot said.

“I’m proud to be part of a government that is delivering resilient communications infrastructure to help boost coverage and connect our communities across the Northern Rivers.”

Other new Northern Rivers locations include Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, Brunswick Heads, Ocean Shores, Bangalow, Ballina, Wardell, Lennox Head and Crabbes Creek.

Healthy Towns comes to Murwillumbah

FOR MANY Tweed residents the first sign of loneliness, chronic pain or declining mental health is not a trip to the doctor – it’s withdrawing from the community.

But a new $977,000 Healthy Towns program aims to change that sentiment, by helping residents to reconnect before seemingly small problems become major health issues.

The Healthy Towns initiative was officially launched at Tweed Shire Council’s meeting room in Murwillumbah on Tuesday, July 21, with Murwillumbah selected as one of only two North Coast communities to pilot the Australian Government-funded program over the next two years.

Delivered by Healthy North Coast in partnership with Tweed Shire Council, Murwillumbah Family Doctors (King Street Medical) and local organisations, the initiative focuses on improving health by reducing lone-

liness and other health issues and strengthening social connections.

Healthy North Coast Associate Director Aged Care and Living Well Jo Winwood said many people experiencing chronic pain, loneliness or depression did not always seek medical help.

“General practitioners are one of the referral pathways, but the Link Worker will get to the core of the issue and build a personalised social prescription,” Ms Winwood told The Weekly.

“Some people need really intensive support. This is about person-centred care and finding the pathway that’s right for each individual.”

Central to the program is a professionally trained Link Worker, based at Murwillumbah Family Doctors, who will connect people with community groups, volunteering opportunities, arts programs and physical activities rather than relying solely on medical treatment.

Importantly, referrals won’t be limited to GP clinics.

“The Link Worker will go out into the community and spend time in places such as libraries, pharmacies and community organisations to reach people who may rarely engage with the health system,” Ms Winwood said.

“People don’t always go to the doctor, but they do go to the chemist.

The idea of a healthy town is that everybody has a role in helping people feel connected.”

The initiative will also establish Community Connectors—council-trained volunteers who will help identify people experiencing loneliness and guide them towards local activities and support services.

Murwillumbah Family Doctors Practice Manager Kayleigh Thompson said the program recognised the broader causes of poor health.

“As a general practice, we see every day how loneliness and social isola-

tion affect our patients’ health—not just their mental wellbeing, but their physical health too,” she said.

“Having a dedicated Link Worker to connect our patients with community supports means we can look beyond the consult room and address other areas driving poor health outcomes.”

Healthy North Coast has commissioned an independent evaluation to measure whether the program improves social connection and health

outcomes.

Residents will help shape the initiative through community co-design workshops at Jessie McMillan Hall on Tuesday, July 28.

Ms Winwood said community input would determine how the model operates in Murwillumbah.

Member for Richmond Justine Elliot MP said the Healthy Towns is a great initiative to help improve people’s health and wellbeing by supporting stronger connection while reducing social isolation.

“As your local MP, I’m proud to be delivering $977,000 in federal funding from the Albanese Labor Government for Healthy North Coast to provide this program in Murwillumbah,” she said.

Murwillumbah Family Doctors Practice Manager Kayleigh Thompson said as a general practice, we see every day how loneliness and social isolation affect our patients’ health – “not just their mental wellbeing, but their physical health too”.

“Having a dedicated link worker to connect our patients with community supports means we can look beyond the consult room and address other areas driving poor health outcomes,” she said.

“Healthy Towns gives our community’s GP clinics another avenue to support patients holistically. We’re looking forward to working alongside Tweed Shire Council and the wider Murwillumbah community to help our patients stay well, connected and independent as they age.”

Murwillumbah was chosen as one of two North Coast pilot sites for Healthy Towns due to: • Its size. A population of nearly 10,000 creates an opportunity to impact significant numbers of people, whilst still small enough to achieve coverage in two years • It is an area forecast to have a higher-than-average growth in ageing population (Murwillumbah's population aged 65 and over is 25%, compared to the NSW average of 16%) • Its higher prevalence of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease (5%), diabetes (6%), stroke (2%) and dementia (1%) • Clear evidence of community need, including social isolation and limited access to supports and activities • Support from Tweed Shire Council.

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.” ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Flood-affected seniors still struggling SOME RESIDENTIAL park residents who were flooded out of their homes in 2022 are still struggling to get back on their feet and find a place they can afford to live.

Most of the residents in Tweed Shire residential parks are seniors living off their pensions, who bought into the parks because they were the only accommodation they could afford in the local market.

The Weekly spoke to a 79-year-old woman who had to move from one park in Chinderah to another after the floods but has found herself unable to afford the site fees and is now facing another move.

The woman, who did not want to be named, said she was living in a home she had bought at the Royal Pacific Tourist Retreat and Caravan Park at Chinderah when the 2022 flood hit and she lost everything.

Despite the health risks, she stayed in the shell of her home once it was cleaned up but eventually had to move.

“Royal Pacific paid me out, which was good, and then they finally demolished it, so I had no alternative but to move,” she said.

“After the floods, the insurance companies wouldn’t insure the places anymore and cancelled the insurance policies.

“They said they wanted everything up above flood level, and my place was at ground level, which is why they demolished it.”

The woman needed somewhere to live but was struggling to recover from the shock of the floods and losing everything.

“One day my son rang me and said, ‘Be out the front at 11am because around the corner

there’s a place going,’ so we went around and I bought that place,” she said.

She bought a caravan in the park for $88,000 but was in for a shock.

“No one mentions the site fees,” she said.

“The manager was away when I bought the place and no one mentioned the site fees.

“When they got back, they said, ‘You owe us $579 in site fees,’ and I nearly fell over.

“It was double what I was paying at Royal Pacific.

“So now I’m in this situation where I have to pay nearly $600 in site fees and I only get just over $1,000 a fortnight.

“There’s only me and there’s room for two people where I live, and I don’t want to share — I’m nearly 80.

“What’s the point of owning your own place that I paid $88,000 for if I’ve got to pay that much? That’s my dilemma.”

Now the woman is looking at moving to a residential park in the Dry Dock Road area of Tweed Heads because the site fees are more affordable than what she is currently paying.

She doesn’t have a car and says she has to rely on her son, who is a sole parent and has his own business.

“He inquired up there and found the site fees were a lot cheaper,” she said.

“I can only really afford between $300 and $400 a fortnight but the problem is that Tweed floods.

“One was about $400 a fortnight and one was just under, and I don’t care what it bloody looks like — I’ll live in anything.

“I just have to go with something I can afford because I can’t afford this.”

She had a real estate agent come and look at

selling her home in the Chinderah park but was told he couldn’t sell it because it was a caravan.

“I will have to sell through the same people I bought the place from,” she said, although buying into a home in Tweed Heads will potentially cost more than she gets for her Chinderah home.

She joked that she must have done something terrible in her last life to have such bad luck.

“First there was the flood and now this,” she said.

“It was my home. It was the only place I’ve ever owned.

“This is the problem: you don’t own the land.

“It’s a catch-22. I’m not happy. I can’t relax there because I can’t afford it.

“Every April the site fees go up by the CPI but I can’t afford any more than $600, so I’m sunk. That leaves me with $400 to live on for a fortnight.

“I just had cataract surgery and that cost $4,000.

“It’s just been a nightmare.

“People haven’t recovered from the floods and it’s still at a crisis point.”

A NEW 94-apartment retirement community is set to reshape independent living at Tweed Heads, with Serene Residences offering a resort-style lifestyle designed for retirees seeking connection, convenience and security.

Currently under development at the corner of Powell and Florence streets, Serene Residences will feature one six-storey tower and one seven-storey tower (Riverside and Oceanside) comprising 94 luxury independent living apartments.

Buyers can choose from 20 floorplans, including one, two and three-bedroom apartments as well as penthouses.

Construction is expected to be completed from November 2027, with apartments already on sale.

Serene Residences General Manager Linda Goodwin told The Weekly the project reflects changing attitudes towards retirement, with many Australians now seeking communities that encourage active lifestyles, social engagement and peace of mind while reducing home maintenance.

“Retirement today is about choice, independence and creating a lifestyle that allows people to enjoy every day to the fullest,” Linda said.

“People are looking for more than just a home; they’re looking for a community where they can remain active, connected and supported.”

Residents will have access to a range of resort-style facilities including rooftop mineral and hydrotherapy pools, a spa, sauna, gymnasium, library, café, billiards and table tennis rooms, resident lounges and curated art throughout the common areas.

Sing for fun and more

By Jonathon Howard

A WEEKLY community singing group at Tweed Heads is proving that you don’t need to be a great singer to enjoy the physical, mental and social benefits of music, with participants reporting improved wellbeing, reduced loneliness and a renewed sense of connection.

The free Sing for Fun group meets every Friday from 9.30am at the Coolangatta & Tweed Heads Golf Club, where locals gather to sing in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Coordinator Lynette Borthistle, who has led the group since 2020, said the benefits extended far beyond music.

“The health benefits are clear to me from those who attend the weekly singing group,” she said.

“We have a range of people who attend our classes every week with health issues and they are finding relief, and a feeling of being uplifted.”

Mrs Borthistle said the group welcomed everyone, regardless of singing ability.

“The singing group is not about whether you can sing or not,” she said.

“We find even some people experiencing pain have found relief after singing in the group for an hour and fifteen minutes.”

She said the group was also helping tackle loneliness, an issue affecting people of all ages.

“I’m never lonely or bored, because I have

the singing group,” she said.

“This is true for others, who find just by attending the singing group you can come out of your shell and start to feel alive and vibrant.”

Her observations are supported by research.

A 2015 study published in the Royal Society Open Science journal found that group singing creates an “ice-breaker effect”, helping strangers form social bonds more quickly than participants involved in other group activities such as crafts or creative writing.

Researchers concluded singing promotes rapid social cohesion by boosting positive emotions and encouraging connection.

Sing for Fun music coordinator Elmar Symczek said those friendships were one of the group’s greatest strengths.

“The social aspect of this group is an added benefit and I would encourage others to come along, sing or don’t, but to join the group and experience the benefits,” he said.

Lead singer and musician Col Davies, who has been singing since 1993, said music had enriched his life in countless ways.

“I have gained friendship, connecting people through music and social interaction,” he said.

“I’d encourage others to take part in Sing for Fun and experience the benefits.”

The Sing for Fun group meets every Friday at 9.30am at the Coolangatta & Tweed Heads Golf Club and is free to attend.

Tweed Business Awards

By Jonathon Howard

THE TWEED’S thriving business community came together for a sparkling afternoon of celebration as the Victory Auto World Tweed Business Awards recognised the region’s leading businesses and entrepreneurs at Twin Towns Services Club on Friday, June 26.

Presented by the Tweed Chamber of Commerce, this year’s awards embraced the “Sparkle and Shine” theme, with business leaders, finalists and supporters enjoying networking overlooking Jack Evans Boat Harbour before a formal luncheon and awards presentation.

Hosted by comedian and MC Ellen Briggs, the event combined laughter and celebration as winners and Highly Commended recipients were recognised across dozens of categories showcasing innovation, resilience and business excellence.

Major honours went to SEE Group, which claimed the coveted Business of the Year title, while respected accountant Jeannie Anderson was inducted into the Tweed Business Awards Hall of Fame and businessman John Spedding was named Champion of the Tweed.

Tweed Chamber of Commerce President Col Usher said the awards reflected the outstanding calibre of businesses operating throughout the region.

“The Tweed Business Awards are a celebration of the innovation, resilience and excellence that define our local business community,” Mr Usher said.

“Congratulations to all of our winners, finalists and Highly Commended recipients, and thank you to every business that entered this year’s awards. Your passion and commitment continue to strengthen the Tweed economy and inspire others.”

Mr Usher also thanked the many sponsors, volunteers and organisers who helped deliver another successful awards program.

“A huge thank you also goes to our generous

My opposition to the rezoning of any further State Significant Farmland has not changed – I remain steadfastly opposed.

So much so, I have written to the NSW Labor Government’s Minister for Planning, who will make the final decision on the Cudgen Connection proposal, urging him to refuse it and retain this land as State Significant Farmland.

Elected representatives from Federal, State and Local Government, as well as both sides of politics, have publicly stated their opposition to further rezoning of State Significant Farmland at Cudgen.

FOR

TWEED

“ Key resident and community groups are staunchly opposed to further development on this site.

”

Key resident and community groups are staunchly opposed to further development on this site.

It must be noted that the rezoning of State Significant Farmland for a much-needed and regionally beneficial $723.3 million public hospital must be viewed through a different lens than the rezoning of this land for a private development.

The rezoning of this land to allow the Cudgen Connection development will set a standard that State Significant Farmland is available for private development throughout the Tweed.

The Tweed community has voiced its strong commitment to preserving and protecting State Significant Farmland at Cudgen.

This is a pivotal decision for the Tweed and I have urged the Minister to listen to the community and refuse the proposal.

Snake bites cyclist on Rail Trail Veterans on The eastern brown snake became entangled in the bike's gear section and was put down

By Jonathon Howard

A CYCLIST is recovering in hospital after she was bitten by an eastern brown snake on the Northern Rivers Rail Trail near Burringbar on Tuesday, July 14.

The woman in her 60s was riding along the trail when she accidentally rode over a two-metre eastern brown snake.

The eastern brown, which is one of the world’s most venomous terrestrial snakes, became entangled in the woman’s bicycle chain at about 1pm.

While caught in the bike’s chain, the snake bit the rider on the thigh.

NSW Ambulance paramedics were called and treated the woman at the scene before transporting her to Tweed Valley Hospital in a stable condition.

Fortunately, doctors believe the woman suffered a suspected “dry bite”, where little or no venom is injected on the first bite, however, dry bites can still cause physical trauma, bleeding and infection from the fangs which can carry bacteria.

The woman was kept in hospital for observation before being discharged.

Expert snake catcher Sarah Mailey from I’ll Catch It Snake Relocations was called to the scene to free the reptile from the bicycle and assess the snake.

Ms Mailey said the rescue was particularly dangerous because only the snake’s mid-section was trapped, leaving its head free.

“So, it had its full head swinging around able to bite,” she said.

Ms Mailey said she pinned the snake’s head while police and bystanders carefully disentangled the snake from the bike.

Sadly, the snake had suffered significant injuries and Ms Mailey said the best option was to euthanise the snake.

“It was in a lot of pain,” she said.

Ms Mailey said the eastern brown also appeared to have a pre-existing eye injury, which may have prevented it from seeing the approaching bicycle.

She said snakes were a natural part of the Rail Trail environment and urged cyclists and walkers to remain alert all year round.

“It’s a beautiful part of our region and obviously they’ve just put the trail straight

through the middle of it,” she said.

“So, the snakes aren’t going to go - ‘Oh well, I’m leaving now’- it’s their home.

They’re still going to be there.”

Following the incident, I’ll Catch It Snake Relocations reminded the community that snake bites can often be painless and symptoms may be delayed, urging anyone bitten or suspected of being bitten to immediately call Triple Zero (000), remain still, apply a pressure immobilisation bandage and wait for an ambulance.

She also encouraged outdoor enthusiasts to carry a compression bandage whenever walking or riding in bushland.

“Even in April snakes start to look for where they are going to spend winter, by May they will move into said chosen spot,” she told The Weekly.

“Depending on where they have chosen, depends on how active they may become during the colder months.

“For example a snake spending its time in a roof or in a rock wall directly in the lunch time sun, may warm up enough to get a false sense of security that its warm outside.

“They will come out but won’t go far at all, they may have a meal or drink but will end up back in that same chosen spot.

“They don’t travel between June and July, August when it starts to warm up abit they start to come out but again don’t go far.

“It’s not until September they really start to move, moving around a 1km radius.

“If we do come across a snake in the colder months, give it some space & it will move back into its safe spot. If it doesn’t move and just back away slowly.

“I definitely advise people to carry a compression bandage when out and about in nature.”

the Veranda

TWEED VETERANS, their partners and families are invited to connect with support services and each other at the inaugural Veterans on the Verandah event hosted by the Murwillumbah RSL Sub-Branch next month.

The free event will be held at the Mount Warning Hotel, Uki, from 11.30am on Saturday, August 8, offering an informal opportunity for veterans to learn about the sub-branch’s advocacy, welfare, sport and recreation programs.

Welfare and Advocacy Officer Derek Sims said the event was all about “mates helping mates”.

“We want veterans to know they’re not alone and to hear about the challenges they face and the support they need,” Mr Sims said.

Murwillumbah RSL Sub-Branch Secretary and Sport and Recreation Officer Narelle Blessington said the gathering aimed to build stronger local connections.

“We want to create a sense of belonging while introducing veterans and their families to the services and activities available through the sub-branch,” Ms Blessington said.

The event will be held in the hotel’s covered outdoor dining area, with light refreshments and one complimentary drink provided.

RSVPs are requested by July 30 (please specify allergens) via email: rsl@msmc.org.au or phone: 0403 820 230.

AT THE FOOTY with Quinny

BACK TO normal last week after what was an unforgettable Origin series.

The Broncos gave us a glimpse of what they are capable of with a Walsh masterclass to kick off the week. Lots of tough games coming up and they can’t afford to drop any, but if they sneak into the 8 they will teams worried.

A cracking game between the Sharks and Knights with the Sharks prevailing. Sad news about Scott Dureau this week passing after playing plenty of NRL and Superleague as well as being involved in lower grade coaching at the Knights.

The Roosters and Storm was a beauty albeit with some controversy. The Chooks have enough strike to win the comp and their consistency is probably the difference in 2026.

Hudson Young’s achilles on the back of Warbrick’s the night before was a devastating sight for Raiders fans but also footy fans. It’s been a checkered past for Young but he is one of the best players in the comp and would have been on the plane for Australia at the end of the year.

The Warriors fell in against the Dragons but how bad was the forward pass that got them the win? Tigertown is a trainwreck at the moment and the off field performances are now matching the on field efforts.

Our Titans toughed out one they would have lost in the past. The vision of Hannay being filthy after the win is an encouraging sign for the Gold Coast. The tide is turning on the glitter strip. They just need to back it up this week and win two in a row that hasn’t happened for a long time and they get their chance against

the Dragons away.

In saying that, Dean Young has been announced as the man to steer the Red V into the future. The return of Dearden wasn’t enough for the Cowboys who faced a stung Dolphins from the week before.

Rain played havoc again with the local footy and catch up games will play a vital role in the last few weeks. Awesome to the Jai July ‘Arrow’ celebrations gaining even more momentum across the sporting codes.

Plenty of chat around the billion dollar tv deal the NRL has secured. Regardless of what you think, PVL is an impressive ‘Rugby League’ operator and is good for the game - especially financially.

Built to sparkle

By Rada Campbell

BEFORE BUTTERY walks into the room, there is Ryan Brown, half made-up, half hidden, sitting in the strange in-between space where a person becomes a performer.

There is tape, powder, lashes, padding, nerves and patience. There is the careful work of building a face, a body and a character strong enough to step under stage lights and make a room feel lighter.

For locals who know Ryan as the head barista at Uki’s Bastion Lane Espresso, the transformation into Buttery might look like a leap. For Ryan, it has become something more personal.

Over the past two years, he has grown from a new drag performer finding his feet into one of the Gold Coast’s fastest-rising queens, securing a regular residency at Hairy Mary’s while continuing to bring his drag bingo series back to Murwillumbah.

But when asked what had changed most since the first M|Arts shows, Ryan did not start with Buttery.

“I think the biggest change has actually been in Ryan,” he told The Weekly.

“I’ve become a lot more confident, both on and off stage, and I’ve stopped putting so much pressure on myself to be perfect.

“Buttery has definitely grown as a performer, but I have grown just as much as a person.”

That growth sits behind the next Christmas in July Drag Bingo at M|Arts Precinct, where Buttery will be joined by veteran Gold Coast queen Natasha St James and Dixie Wrecked, the performer and costume designer behind Piggybank Costumes.

Together, they bring the kind of experience usually found in bigger nightlife venues into a small regional arts precinct, but Ryan said the heart of the night remains simple.

“Creating a space where people can laugh, connect, and have fun has reminded me why I love doing this in the first place,” he said.

Drag can look effortless from the audience,

but backstage it is labour, discipline and a surprising amount of courage.

And somewhere between the coffee machine, the makeup chair and the stage, Ryan has not just built Buttery. He has built himself.

Christmas in July Drag Bingo is at M|Arts Precinct, Murwillumbah, on Saturday, July 25.

Doors open 6pm for a 7.30pm show. Tickets $35 via Humanitix.

AT FIRST glance, Tim Fry’s work is bright colour, pop nostalgia and cheeky one-liners: cassette tapes, vintage stereos, cars and imagery that feels instantly familiar.

Look again and the local contemporary artist is using playfulness to carry something deeper.

His ceramics, paintings, drawings, murals and public artworks sit somewhere between pop art, street art, outsider art and emotional survival.

After his Local Knowledge solo exhibition at Lismore Regional Gallery this year, Tim’s work circles the Northern Rivers, memory, music and the visual cues that shape a life.

“I try to create a sense of nostalgia as a kind of warm fuzzy self-care for my mind and for audiences,” Tim told The Weekly.

Although he works across many mediums, clay remains the mainstay. Tim was introduced to ceramics while studying art in Brisbane almost 20 years ago. It was not what he was looking for, but the material stuck.

Clay gave him a way to combine painting, drawing and printmaking, while forcing him into a slower, more technical discipline.

“It fulfils something very human inside of me and in other people too, evidently,” he said.

That sense of possibility now feeds his role as a teacher, with Tim passing on ceramics and visual art skills in Murwillumbah, Byron and Lismore.

For him, teaching is more than technique. It is a small act of cultural resistance in a country that does not always value artists enough, and a way to show creativity as practical, powerful and healing.

His current series, Music Saves, has been evolving for five years, moving from ceramic cassette tapes into wall-hung platters featuring

Free Persian mystical poetry workshop is on

7 DAYS A WEEK

3-5PM 7 DAYS A WEEK MEMBERS SPECIAL

THE TIMELESS WORLD of Persian mystical poetry is coming to Murwillumbah on Saturday, August 1, at the Murwillumbah Community Centre.

The free community workshop is a rare chance to explore the wisdom, beauty and enduring relevance of some of the Middle East’s greatest poets.

Echoes of the Beloved will be facilitated by Doon Doon-based artist Siyavash Doostkhah, one half of the acclaimed creative duo Zemzemeh.

Open to the general public, as well as writers, poets and anyone curious about the world’s great spiritual traditions, the workshop explores the works of Rumi, Hafez, Ibn Arabi and Attar.

Through reflective readings and guided discussion, people will discover how these centuries-old poems continue to speak to contemporary questions of love, resilience, identity and our connection to the world around us.

“These poems have been companions to people for hundreds of years because they speak to something deeply human,” said Siyavash – musician, writer and co-founder of Zemzemeh.

“The workshop isn’t about studying poetry academically; it’s about slowing down, listening deeply and discovering how these extraordinary verses can illuminate our own lives.”

The morning will provide a unique introduction to Zemzemeh’s performance Rhyme & Reason, which comes to The Citadel, Murwillumbah, on Saturday, August 8.

Created by Siyavash and fellow Doon Doon musician Greta Kelly, Rhyme & Reason fuses ancient Persian mystical poetry with traditional instruments, electronic music, immersive visuals and hip-hop-inspired beats.

Featuring Persian percussion master Arash Zanganeh, visuals artist Andrew Gibbs and Sufi Sama dancer Nadia Milford, the performance reimagines an ancient mystical gathering for contemporary audiences through music, movement and projected English translations of the poetry combined with sacred geometry and ancient architecture projections.

The workshop follows Zemzemeh’s recent success at the LAVA Arts Festival, where the duo presented two sold-out performances of their commissioned surround-sound work Sounding the Farm.

“The workshop offers audiences a richer con-

nection to Rhyme & Reason, where the poetry is brought to life through music, movement and contemporary sound,” Siyavash told The Weekly.

Echoes of the beloved runs from 10:30 am 12 pm on Saturday, August 1 at the Murwillumbah Community Centre, Nullum St, Knox Park.

Places for the free workshop are limited, and bookings are recommended. For more info about this and the Citadel event, go to zemzemeh.au

A beautiful farewell Comedy stars back Agape Jackie Loeb

By Madeleine Murray

By Jonathon Howard

BEFORE THE FINAL GOODBYE comes a conversation most of us spend a lifetime avoiding. And when the end comes, it is often met by relatives in a state of panic and last-minute decisions.

At Paperbark Deathcare & Funeral Home, just outside Murwillumbah, that conversation is approached with warmth, honesty and an unexpected sense of peace.

Founded by Halie Halloran, Paperbark opened its doors in 2020 – and has grown steadily ever since, now caring for families from Ballina to the Sunshine Coast.

It remains locally owned and operated, and proudly all-women led, offering a different approach to end-of-life care: one centred on personal choice, dignity and the belief that death deserves the same care and attention as every other stage of life.

“We provide heartfelt and dignified end-of-life planning, funeral services, cremations, burials and home vigils that are lovingly personalised,” Halie told The Weekly.

Walking through the tranquil space, it’s easy to understand why families describe the experience as comforting rather than confronting. The reception area displays handcrafted urns, while nearby are wicker, bioboard and sustainably made timber coffins. People can also choose burial or cremation in a simple shroud wrapped in paperbark.

Behind the scenes is Paperbark’s fully in-house mortuary. Light-filled and calming rather than clinical, it reflects Halie’s belief that care for the body after death should be as gentle and dignified as the care given in life.

Perhaps the most moving space is the vigil room, where loved ones can spend quiet time with their person in a peaceful, intimate setting that is profoundly contemplative.

Halie has always been drawn to the deeper

TWO OF Australia’s funniest comedians will bring plenty of laughs to Seagulls Club next month, with every punchline helping support people experiencing homelessness across the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast.

Hosted by Agape Outreach, the Agape Comedy Night will take place as part of Homelessness Week on Thursday, August 6, featuring comedy stars Mandy Nolan and Jackie Loeb.

The event will feature a range of special raffles, a silent auction and a diamond necklace valued at more than $9,000.

Nolan said the show was inspired by “cranky women” who have had enough.

“Older women are cranky,” she said.

“They’re tired of making everyone food, cleaning up, shopping, carrying the groceries and being judged. They’re also tired of knowing charities like Agape need to fundraise to keep homeless people and those at risk of homelessness supported and fed.”

The 58-year-old comedian said: “cranky women have so much to say”.

“They’ve survived childbirth and motherhood and marriage. They know what it’s like to go without and what it’s like to be overlooked,” she said.

“But beware... there comes a time when those cranky women speak up.”

Joining Nolan is internationally acclaimed comedian Jackie Loeb, whose career has taken her from Australian stages to Hollywood.

Jackie brings decades of international comedy credentials, having performed from Sydney to Hollywood and collected a prestigious MO Award along the way.

Mandy jokingly believes the duo deserve even bigger recognition.

“Jackie should be famous. So should Mandy.

If they were men they’d have their own Netflix series,” she laughed.

questions of life, finding meaning in the natural world and the rhythms of birth, life, love and death. Rather than directing families through the process, she prefers to listen carefully and guide them to create something that reflects the person they are honouring.

“Our mission is deeply grounded in transforming how society handles this profound passage – focusing on intimacy, respect, and personal choice,” Halie said.

Paperbark also welcomes people who simply want to plan ahead. Having open conversations about death, replacing fear with understanding leaves families better prepared when the time eventually comes.

I went to a beautiful memorial held by Paperbark recently and realised I should begin arranging the details of my own farewell. Like any other significant event, it is better planned ahead with understanding and experienced people beside you. And there’s something deeply comforting about taking this step before it takes you.

Paperbark is at Unit 7, 18 Kite Crescent, South Murwillumbah. For more information, call 0466 526 156 or go to paperbarkdeathcare.com.au

Jokes aside, Mandy said the event carried an important message and need for funds.

“We will raise the roof and money for Agape!” she said.

The fundraiser comes as Homelessness Week shines a spotlight on growing housing pressures driven by rising rents, housing shortages and cost-of-living challenges, with proceeds helping Agape Outreach continue supporting vulnerable people throughout the region.

AFTER MORE than 15 years creating dream pools across the Tweed and Gold Coast, Splash in Style Pool Builder is expanding its services, giving local pool owners a one-stop destination for everything from water testing to ongoing maintenance.

The family-owned business, led by Jaryd Brown and team, have built a reputation for designing and constructing custom concrete and fibreglass pools, and is now offering in-store water testing and expert advice, pool chemicals, robotic cleaners and tailored on-site servicing plans from its showroom at 4/7 Machinery Drive, Tweed Heads South.

Qualified pool builder and designer Jaryd Brown is also a licensed pool plumber, allowing the business to manage every aspect of a project from concept through to completion.

“Our priorities at Splash in Style are exceptional quality at every touchpoint and a strong emphasis on our customer experience,” Mr Brown said.

“We keep you updated every step of the way, ensuring you are comfortable with the pool design process and confident you will be getting value for money.”

Whether it’s a luxurious resort-style pool or a practical family retreat, Splash in Style manages the entire process from “start to swim”, combining innovative designs with quality craftsmanship and personalised service.

J a r y d oversees each

project, coordinating trades and ensuring every build runs smoothly.

“We are so proud of the exceptional industry reputation we have built at Splash in Style, and it is a testament to Jaryd’s vision, expertise and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction,” she said.

“So much effort goes into ensuring exceptional communication for every project, large and small.”

That commitment is reflected in glowing customer reviews.

Steve Garing said Jaryd and the team were “fantastic to work with”, helping refine the design and answering questions throughout the build.

“The kids have swum in the pool every day since,” he said.

Sarah Darmody described the experience as “fantastic from start to finish”.

“We absolutely love our new pool and will be recommending Splash in Style to everyone we know,” she said.

Dane flying high in the Netherlands

By Jo Kennett

RISING MURWILLUMBAH mountain bike star and Red Bull Rookie of the Year Dane Folpp will compete in the Red Bull District Ride in the Netherlands this weekend against the world’s best slopestyle mountain

bikers.

Dane had been having a bit of trouble practising before he left, as it had hardly stopped raining in the Tweed, but managed to get a few indoor sessions in to prepare for the event.

As part of his prize for winning the Red Bull Rookie of the Year, Dane

secured a wildcard entry to compete in the first 2026 Diamond World Tour stop with the world’s top 12 riders in March in Rotorua, New Zealand.

Dane put his competitors on notice, finishing sixth in the Diamond-level event, which was the headline finale of the 2026 Crankworx Rotorua festival and the second stop of the newly formed Slopestyle Super League.

In May, Dane travelled to Slovakia to compete in the Gold Slopestyle event at BikeFest Kálnica, part of the Slopestyle Super League and FMB World Tour.

Once again, Dane competed against the best in the world, with 15 male athletes advancing to the finals after two fiercely contested qualification rounds.

Dane placed fifth in the finals, which his mother Tanya described as “an incredible result.”

Dane is currently ranked seventh in the Open Men’s Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour.

Dane has now arrived in the Netherlands to compete at the Red Bull

District Ride on July 24-25.

“This is a prestigious competition held once every four years,” Dane’s mother Tanya told The Weekly.

“Red Bull District Ride transforms the city centre of Groningen in the Netherlands into a custom-built urban course where buildings, town squares, streets and urban spaces feature massive jumps, ramps and gaps for riders to showcase their technical tricks, amplitude, creativity and style in front of thousands of spectators.

“The riders will be judged in three different districts and scored on execution, difficulty, style, creativity and overall flow.

“The event will be broadcast live on YouTube via Red Bull TV and at www.redbull.com/au-en/events/ red-bull-district-ride/red-bull-districtride-format.

“After the Netherlands, Dane will travel to Whistler, Canada, for his next Diamond event, Rhapsody Slopestyle, on August 2. You can find details and watch Dane compete at www.crankworx.com/whistler/events/

slopestyle.

“He will then compete at the Crankworx SilverStar Slopestyle FMB Gold event in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada, on August 9.

“We are beyond excited for Dane and would love the Tweed community to follow his journey and wish him well,” Tanya said.

“As you know, the weather has been challenging for Dane to practise at his compound at home because of so much mud and slosh. However, his training has involved daily trips to Ipswich and Brisbane to ride at Ramp Attack and The Village, two indoor skate parks that have been a godsend during this wet weather.”

When he’s not competing, the 19-year-old works at Northern Rivers Cycles and Bike Hire Shop in Mooball, where his biggest supporters, apart from his family, post regular updates on Dane’s progress on social media.

Lachy’s breakthrough surfing win

By Jo Kennett

KINGSCLIFF SURFER Lachlan Arghyros has won the World Surf League (WSL) Traeger Grills Pro Junior, his first Pro Junior victory, with a buzzer-beating air at Lennox Head’s Seven Mile Beach on Sunday, July 12.

The week-long event was run under varying conditions, wrapping up in clean two-to-three foot surf.

Held as a part of the 15th annual Soundboks Oz Grom Open, which also features a Surfing Australia Junior Series competition, the event attracted the best surfers 20-and-under from across the Australia / Oceania region.

Lachy turned around a slow start to his season in a big way, claiming his first WSL victory and climbing into the top 10 on the Australia/Oceania Junior Tour rankings, putting him in line for a spot at the WSL World Junior Championships in the Philip-

pines next year.

Previously only making it out of his opening heat in his very first Pro Junior in 2023, the 16-year-old made it all the way to the top after taking out Sol Gruendling (AUS) in the Quarterfinals, along with two former event runners-up, Mitchell Peterson (AUS) in the Semifinals and Rico Haybittle (NZL) in the Final.

It was a nail-biting finish. Trailing with a two-wave total of 9.84 to Rico Haybittle’s 9.93, Lachy needed a 4.77 in the final minute when he landed a buzzer-beating backhand reverse.

Lachy had built a soft lead early before Rico opened with the highest number of the Final, a 6.83, thanks to a solid two-turn backhand combo.

Eventually backing it up with the same combo, Rico took the lead in the last five minutes, before Lachy delivered the final punch, joining the prestigious list of previous event winners, including 2024 winner and

reigning world champ Dane Henry.

“Wow, I didn’t even know what to say,” Arghyros said afterwards.

“Right before my heat I was talking to Davi [Glazer] about trying to do a punt, and my other heats I tried and just got nowhere near. I waited with priority, did the first snap and it didn’t click as well as I thought it would, so I was like, I’m going to have to go big here to get a 4.70, and then stuck that punt I was trying to do the whole time.

“It was just kind of meant to be.

“Last year I was watching Dane Henry, and I wasn’t really expecting much this year either. I think that’s what brought me to the win, just surfing and not putting pressure on myself, and sometimes that’s the best thing that can happen.”

Later Lachy posted to Instagram that it felt “like a breakthrough moment for me and makes me realise that hard work really does pay off

Lachy in the finals Photo Aaron Hughes

eventually and if you keep working harder and harder with your wins, the sky is the limit.”

“I feel like I haven’t done anywhere near my best surfing in a rashie yet, and to know that I won a comp surf-

ing how I did makes me fired up to show more and more of it through the rest of the year,” Lachy said.

“Got bigger things in mind for this year and this is a good step in the right direction.”

Real Estate FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

Ag e nt o f th e W e e k : N i c k W ith e r i f f

OUR AGENT of the Week is Nick Witheriff, Director and Head of Witheriff Group and one of the Tweed Coast’s leading real estate professionals with years of experience across residential and commercial property.

Having negotiated more than $2 billion in property sales, Nick has earned a reputation as the region’s foremost beachfront specialist, setting record sales while building lasting client relationships.

He is known for his market expertise, integrity and client-first approach. We caught up with Nick to find out more.

HAVE YOU ALWAYS WORKED IN REAL ESTATE AND WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO INTO THE INDUSTRY?

I’ve been fortunate enough to work in real estate since I was 19. Twentytwo years ago I started in Brisbane selling commercial real estate for a large corporate company called CBRE. After 10 years in Brisbane, my wife and I moved back to the Tweed Coast when we got married about 10 years ago and set up the business here in Kingscliff.

We have always been from the Tweed Coast, and moving home to start a family was what inspired us to establish our business. The industry has been part of me basically since leaving school and it’s

been my core career focus, so I’ve been really blessed to enjoy an outstanding career.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT THE INDUSTRY AND WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES?

We’re always working in an everchanging and very dynamic landscape, so no day is the same. Probably the thing I love the most is welcoming active retired folk and families who are calling the Tweed Coast home. We’ve got an array of different properties we sell, but seeing the joy in their faces when they arrive into a new community, then seeing them 12 months later immersed in new friendship circles and various groups, is really rewarding.

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

I’ve had a long-standing track record of selling high-end beachfront homes and my core focus is probably the higher-end market. The beachfront across the Tweed Coast has continued to show growth over the last 10 years, and the people we’re welcoming into those properties are becoming lifelong friends. It’s been a really special thing to have a focus on selling some of the most beautiful homes we have here in the area.

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

There are an array of different people, but in our coastal market between Fingal and Pottsville, 80 per cent of buyers are buying to live here. Of those, 50 per cent are active retired folk and 50 per cent are young families moving into the area, whether for new employment or a change in lifestyle from the city. We probably get about a third coming from Sydney, a third from the Gold Coast and Brisbane, and the other third is locals moving around. There is only a minor number coming from Victoria.

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST CHANGE YOU’VE SEEN ACROSS THE MARKET OVER THE PAST YEAR?

really positive signs in the market.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR SELLERS?

Spending time to prepare the home for sale has never been more important.

Buyers are enjoying more options and making decisions based on certainty.

Where there’s uncertainty around costs, whether that’s maintenance, building works or opportunistic pricing, preparing the home to present it in its best light and taking the advice of the agent or even a bank valuation to ensure you’re going to market with realistic expectations will help you achieve a quick and good outcome. We’ve seen examples this year where properties have sat on the market for six months, only to sell for less than they were offered early in the process.

ANY ADVICE FOR BUYERS?

Probably the biggest change we’ve noticed has been buyer confidence.

We’re doing a lot more work to ensure buyers are clear on values and move with less emotion and more confidence in data. In previous years we saw more emotionally driven purchases, whereas at the moment buyers are making sure they’re not overpaying and we are providing support with data to help them understand that. The majority are moving to live here and everyone needs a roof over their head, so I’m still seeing some

There are some great opportunities for buyers at the moment. My advice is to move clearly and quickly when securing a property. If you can provide certainty to sellers you’re more likely to receive a discount on price. When you’re not organised before making offers, sellers are more cautious about accepting conditions because of the uncertainty and the risk of delaying their sales campaign.

There are still plenty of great opportunities to get into the market locally.
