THE TWEED has been thrust into the international travel spotlight after being named one of the world’s standout destinations by Lonely Planet’s prestigious Best in Travel 2027 list. In fact, the Tweed Shire is the only Australian destination included in Lonely Planet’s 2027 Top Destinations Hotlist and one of just three destinations selected across Oceania, alongside Dunedin and the Waitaki in New Zealand and New Caledonia.

MAYOR REECE BYRNES

Lonely Planet’s annual list features 50 destinations and travel experiences selected by its global community of travel experts, with this year’s selections reflecting travellers’ growing desire to slow down, escape crowds and seek more meaningful experiences – all of which the Tweed does best. The Tweed was singled out for its coastlines, ancient rainforests, riverside villages, rural landscapes, food scene, outdoor adventures and grow-

Lonely Planet Destination Editor Oceania Jessica Lockhart said the region’s appeal was increasingly being recognised by Australian travellers. “We’ve been watching the Tweed rightfully grow in popularity with domestic tourists,” Ms Lockhart said.

By Jonathon Howard

COUNCILLORS HAVE carried a majority vote to refuse a controversial $25-million caravan park proposal at Cudgera Creek, with councillors supporting a long list of concerns surrounding biodiversity, flooding, water security, wastewater, access and impacts on the rural landscape. The refusal motion was carried 5–0, with Mayor Reece Byrnes, Deputy Mayor Meredith Dennis and Cr Rhiannon Brinsmead, Cr Nola Firth and Cr Kimberly Hone voting in favour to refuse the motion. Cr James Owen was absent and Cr Chris Cherry declared a non-pecuniary, non-significant, interest in this Item and did not vote. T he development application (DA26/0311) was lodged by Arbus Pottsville Pty Limited and sought approval for a caravan park at 1183 Cudgera Creek Road, about four kilometres west of Pottsville. The DA has a price tag of $25.09 million and outlined eight long-term sites, 33 short-term tourist sites, a clubhouse, swimming pool and spa, pickleball court, amenities building and associated road, wastewater and water infrastructure. Council’s assessment concluded the application was not suitable for approval, identifying 20 points for refusal. While acknowledging the latest development was substantially smaller than an earlier proposal for 267 long-term and 12

short-term sites, the report said it retained many of the same problems. “While the current proposal has been reduced in scale relative to the previous proposal, it retains the same fundamental land use and continues to raise similar environmental, infrastructure and strategic planning concerns,” the report stated. One of the central concerns was whether a caravan park was appropriate on land predominantly zoned RU1 Primary Production and RU2 Rural Landscape. “The caravan park is not considered compatible with the rural character of the locality or surrounding agricultural activities, with potential for ongoing land use conflicts arising from increased occupancy, noise and traffic,” the report stated. “The development would also require substantive earthworks and vegetation clearing, resulting in environmental and visual impacts.” Council officers were also critical of the project’s proposed water, wastewater and access arrangements. The report said “adequate arrangements for water supply, wastewater management and vehicular access have not been established”, noting the property was outside Council’s Development Servicing Plan area for water supply and that critical infrastructure relied on separate works that had not been approved. Council had previously refused the applicant owner’s consent to undertake proposed works on council-owned land.

Council legal bill By Jonathon Howard

TWEED Shire Council spent almost $3.7 million on legal services during the 2025-26 financial year, exceeding its legal services budget by around $650,000. Council’s latest Legal Services Register was presented to councillors during their monthly meeting last week and revealed its legal expenditure has reached $3,697,039 between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026, against a budget of $3,045,834. Of that, $1,390,307 was spent in the final three months of the financial, according to the report. As has been previously reported by The Weekly, legal costs are expensive and residents often call on council to make those uncompliant with council

regulations more compliant. Therefore, planning and environmental law accounted for the overwhelming majority of expenditure, totalling $3.53 million for the year. Defending applicant-initiated appeals cost $2.245 million, while compliance enforcement accounted for another $1.187 million and legal advice cost $100,239. The report shows $1.346 million was spent on planning and environmental law between April and June alone. Some individual matters have accumulated legal costs exceeding $1 million over several years. Council’s ongoing proceedings relating to a hemp farm at 2956 Kyogle Road, Kunghur, have reached $1,159,441, including $79,575 during 2025-26. The report states the matter remains “in progress”, with

Private road Recreational and communal land Managed open space Ecological buffer Caravan park sites and roads Lot boundary

The new DA for the Pottsville Caravan Park has been rejected despite being significantly smaller

The report warned that the Pottsville water supply system “does not have capacity to service additional development outside the DSP area” and said extending servicing outside planned growth areas could compromise Council’s ability to maintain service levels for existing and future development. It went further, stating such an extension “may expose the community to unacceptable water security risks”. Biodiversity was another major concern. Council’s report said significant questions remained over “impacts on threatened species, threatened ecological communities, native vegetation, habitat connectivity, coastal biodiversity values and koala habitat”. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you agree or disagree with council’s assessment of this development proposal? The Weekly is interested in your views via email: editor@ theweekly.net.au

Council “pursuing costs order”. Another caravan park matter at 1126 Pot tsv ille Road has accumulated $1,010,057 in legal costs, including $16,448 during 2025-26. That case is now complete after the court dismissed the appeals, with the report stating: “Payment of Council’s costs thrown away in the amount of $36,500 have been negotiated.” Legal costs associated with a Turnock Street, Kingscliff appeal reached $479,104, while the Banora Point appeal involving 4A Boyle Avenue accumulated $450,338. The report notes Council secured a $220,000 costs order in the Kingscliff matter following amendments to the development application during proceedings, while $77,000 in costs thrown away were

awarded in Council’s favour in the Banora Point case. Council has also spent a cumulative $302,399 on a North Tumbulgum matter involving a development application and Building Infor mat ion Certificate appeal. The report states an enforceable undertaking has been agreed, remedial works are due by December 1 and $40,000 in costs to Council have been agreed. The Legal Services Register includes payments to legal providers as well as barristers and legal consultants where applicable. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe this is money well spent?

Where can visitors camp?

I have volunteered at the Murwillumbah Visitor Centre for a long time now. Once upon a time we use to have lots of young European backpackers who came to town specifically to climb Wollumbin (Mt Warning), these days most of our visitors are here to ride the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. The first question I usually l get is concerning the Rail Trail then often the second question is: “We are here for a couple of days, so what else is there to do in town?” This is where I suggest the Museum, M|Arts, The Gallery, the historical walk down Main Street checking out shops and cafes on the way, plus a drive to some of our attractions a little it out of town. A problem I often meet is our lack of facilities for tent campers; we are very limited as to where we can send these visitors. It is an issue that needs addressing. I do not know what the situation is with the old Greenhills Caravan Park, it seems like a great venue for tent campers and maybe small campervans. It would be ideal being so close to the Rail Trail. At present it seems to be a wasted opportunity to solve a problem for visitors. I would be interested to hear what the situation is concerning this Greenhills area or if there are any other ideas for dealing with this problem? Gerry Matthews, Kielvale

Dementia is not inevitable

Dementia Australia provides a valuable service, and I commend Merran Kelsal for bringing the National Dementia Helpline (1800 100 500) to the attention of The Weekly readers (TVW, Letters, September 17). The main reason for dementia becoming Australia’s leading cause of death is that we are living longer, by about three months every passing year

0475 75 75 10

72 Byron Street, Bangalow – opposite the Public School

for a century or more. Although increasing with age, dementia is not inevitable. Dementia simply means loss of cognitive function (memory, language, reasoning etc). The most common cause is Alzheimer’s disease. It is strongly genetic in early onset (aged under 60) and only partly genetic in late onset dementia. Vascular causes of dementia are also common and largely preventable. There is no magic bullet, but we can help to prevent dementia by staying socially connected, physically and mentally active (learning new things, languages, skills etc), by protecting the head, sight and hearing, by eating a Mediterranean diet (vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fish and olive oil) and restricting processed food, by avoiding smoking and by restricting or avoiding alcohol. There is also good evidence that treating high blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose (diabetes), and impaired sight, hearing and mood (depression) helps to prevent or slow the progression of both Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. Early detection is also important so that wills, powers of attorney and Advanced Care Directives (ACD) can be prepared before losing capacity to do so. ACD forms can be downloaded at NSW Health. Some people know that they are dementing, but many don’t, thus posing problems for others, especially in driving, managing finances etc, and Dementia Australia can be particularly helpful here. D Weston Allen, Cudgen

Over development of Tweed is not welcome

I am very unhappy about the outcome of the old Tweed Hospital site. The paper states that the developer is delivering 800 new homes, the proposed Tweed Heads development will also deliver more greenery and improve community access to the wa-

• Headache and Migraine • Jaw pain - locking - clicking - grinding • Vestibular - dizzy - vertigo

terfront by helping us to build better communities. Looking at the artist impression of the redevelopment how can it help the community? Where are all these cars going to park for these 800 units? How is it going to give us better access to the Tweed River when we won’t be able to park anywhere near it? How is it helping housing when only 80 out of the 800 units are for the people who need affordable homes? I believe this is just a build for the rich people and will not benefit the people of Tweed. Why is this site not used for the development that they want to put on Cudgen farmland? How was the government allowed to actually build on State Significant Farmland? In Cudgen the Cudgen Connection is actually going to increase the building height limits, cram the already busy rural roads and jam more cars into needing parking where the hospital cannot cope with parking already — even after second parking lots are built. We used to have a three-story limit in Tweed now the new proposed old hospital site has about 15 stories. How is all the infrastructure needed going to be paid for? Are the developers going to pay for the upgrade on the sewage, water storage, car parking spaces and roadworks due to all the extra cars on the road? Jennifer Greenwood, Banora Point

Re-assessment needed on fish cleaning locations

New signage prominently displayed at the fish cleaning tables next to the Cudgen Creek boat ramp advise that under no circumstances are fish frames to be thrown into the water. Yet some frames are still going into the water. There have been recent sightings of a shark in the proximity of the cleaning tables, presumably attracted there by the fish frames in the water.

This is right next to where council has built steps encouraging swimmers to enter and exit the creek at that location. Last Saturday I counted over sixty people swimming or playing in the vicinity of the fish cleaning tables. Okay, so no one has been bitten by a shark and maybe a visiting shark won’t bite. But there is a growing risk that someone will be bitten and this is a

92850 Bangalow Headache 7x21cm

HEAD, NECK & JAW

risk that can be reduced. If it is not possible to prevent fish frames being thrown into the water then perhaps the cleaning tables need to be relocated, possibly to an accessible site along the Tweed River where swimming doesn’t take place The NSW Recreational Fishing Trust Grants Program may well provide a source of funding to enable this to be done at no great expense to council. Tony Waters, Kingscliff

Blessing of the Pets PETS OF all shapes and sizes are being invited to two special “Blessing of the Pets” Anglican Church services on the Tweed Coast, celebrating the special bond between people and their beloved animals. St James Anglican Church at Kingscliff and St Mark’s at Pottsville will host the open-air services, inspired by St Francis of Assisi and his well-known love and respect for animals. Reverend Constantine Osuchukwu will lead the services, offering a blessing for the cats, dogs, birds and other muchloved pets brought along by their owners. “St Francis, whose feast day is celebrated on October 4, had a deep affection for the natural world and famously celebrated animals and nature in his Canticle of the Creatures,” Rev Constantine. “St Francis loved to hear morning birdsong – especially the larks that flew around the hills of Assisi - and once slept rough to allow a donkey to spend a night in the hovel he’d been staying in. “In his Canticle of the Creatures, Francis praised all God’s creatures - “All praise to you, O Lord, for all

these brother and sister creatures”.” The first service will be held at St James, Kingscliff, from 8.30am on Sunday, September 27, with people and pets of all faiths welcome. The service will be followed by a sausage sizzle and morning tea, with donations for the RSPCA also welcomed. Organisers are asking owners to ensure pets are friendly, with dogs kept on leads, cats in carriers and other animals safely contained in cages, fish bowls or terrariums. A second Blessing of the Pets service will be held at St Mark’s Anglican Church, Pottsville, from 10.30am on Sunday, October 25. The events offer local animal lovers an opportunity to give thanks for the companionship and joy their pets bring to their lives while celebrating the legacy of one of Christianity’s best-known animal lovers.

New mayor stays cool NEW TWEED Mayor Reece Byrnes has kept his cool and responded to criticism over an old online dating profile, via dating platform Tinder, confirming the profile was genuine and declaring he makes “no apologies” for his support for drug law reform. The response comes after fellow councillor Kimberly Hone publicly raised concerns about screenshots taken from Cr Byrnes’ Tinder profile less than 24 hours after he defeated her 4–2 in the Tweed Shire mayoral election. Cr Byrnes confirmed the profile was his and that it listed his former position as deputy mayor, but said the controversy was ultimately about cannabis rather than his use of a dating app. The mayor told The Weekly that he has been “overwhelmed” by messages and texts of support on this issue — a lot of whom are medicinal cannabis patients. “Yes, the profile was real. Yes, it did list my former job as deputy mayor,” Cr Byrnes said. “But let’s be real. This isn’t about me as a single man being on a dating app — it’s about the issue of cannabis. “I make no apologies for standing up for people who need help.” Cr Byrnes said he was a “staunch supporter of drug law reform” and pointed to the use of medicinal cannabis within the community. “Many people in our community depend upon medicinal cannabis and our laws need to catch up with modern times,” he said. “I strongly support the NSW Minns Labor Government’s recent compassionate steps toward drug law reform, including the expansion of the medicinal cannabis scheme and the focus on health rather than

“Cr Byrnes said he regarded his dating life as a private matter” criminalisation.” The comments come as the NSW Government’s medicinal cannabis driving reforms passed Parliament on September 17. The changes will establish a new system for eligible people prescribed medicinal cannabis, although roadside drug testing will continue and drivers who are impaired will remain subject to offences. Cr Hone posted her concerns on social media acknowledging that online dating was a private matter but said concerns had been raised with her about its contents, including the reported reference to his council position and cannabis. “Whilst online dating profiles are a private matter (and I don’t care what councillors do in their free time) some serious concerns were raised with me regarding the content of his profile,” Cr Hone wrote. Cr Hone encouraged anyone with concerns to use Tweed Shire Council’s complaints process, adding: “I trust Council will handle this matter appropriately.” Cr Byrnes initially told The Weekly he regarded his dating life as a private matter and did not wish to comment further, before issuing a more detailed public response. “As your Mayor, my door is open to everyone in our community, without judgment,” Cr Byrnes said. “It’s time to do things differently in the Tweed. Let’s leave behind the personal attacks and innuendo from councillors that

Newly elected Mayor Cr Reece Byrnes has kept his cool despite a fellow councillor's attempts to derail him

have become all too common and get back to the work of moving our shire forward.” The controversy follows a changing of the guard at Tweed Shire Council, with councillors electing Cr Byrnes as Mayor on September 17 and Cr Meredith Dennis OAM as Deputy Mayor. Cr Byrnes, who has served on Council since 2016 and previously held the deputy mayoralty, has taken over from former mayor Chris Cherry. Following his election, Cr Byrnes said housing, water security and essential services would be among his priorities. “It is my genuine hope that all our councillors will join me in a better, more positive, and more constructive future for the Tweed,” he said. “Let’s do this.” YOUR THOUGHTS: How did you feel about the response from Mayor Byrnes? The Weekly is interested in your thoughts via email: editor@theweekly.net.au

Over the past 17 years the event has raised nearly $300,000 for breast cancer research. The Australian Dressage Council has officially approved a dress code exemption, allowing riders and even their horses – to compete in pink. Every dollar raised – including riding class entry fees, sponsorships, raffles, and donations goes directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

CCTV plan targets illegal camping By Jonathon Howard

Illegal campsite clean up A growing number of tents along the Murwillumbah levee wall has raised concerns

By Jonathon Howard

A GROWING number of tents and rubbish is building up on parts of the riverbank near the Murwillumbah CBD, with council stating while it has “no move on abilities” it will commence a clean up of the site and work to connect those sleeping rough to support services. The Weekly has visited the levee-wall area several times this year and has witnessed a growing number of tents and rubbish as well as a boat, shopping trolleys and crates piling up. Several residents have also raised concern that some of the tree branches have been used for fires during the cooler months, as well as allegations of anti-social behaviour in the camps at night. Council staff have taken significant action at this site over time, including a coordinated clean-up with NSW Police in December 2025 following ongoing public safety and environmental concerns. Staff inspected the Commercial Road levee wall area again recently after further reports from members of the public about noise, pollution and anti-social behaviour. The inspection identified a number of tents, lean-tos and other structures erected along the riverbank, as well

as large volumes of assorted refuse. Residents who raised concerns with council have been advised to report any alleged anti-social or criminal behaviour directly to Police. Council staff have also notified NSW Police and are awaiting a further update. Local homelessness service providers have confirmed that the people living at this location have declined offers of support. “Council staff do not have the authority to issue move-on directions. If Police issue such directions, council staff are ready to begin a clean-up to address the public safety and pollution concerns at the site,” council said. “Any clean-up will be carried out in line with the NSW Protocol for Homeless People in Public Places, which prioritises connecting people with support services while balancing community safety, environmental and land management responsibilities.” Council said it remains committed to working with relevant agencies under the protocol, which promotes a coordinated and respectful approach to people experiencing homelessness. YOUR THOUGHTS: What do you think should be done to aid those people on the leeve wall? The Weekly is interested in your thoughts and letters via email: editor@theweeklky.net.au

COUNCIL HAS received more than 860 complaints about illegal camping and rough sleeping across the Tweed in the past year alone, as a new report presented to Tweed Shire councillors last week considers the use of mobile CCTV to address the issue. The report revealed that council received 862 customer requests relating to illegal camping and rough sleeping in the 12 months to September 1, 2026. However, the report found the complaints were spread across the shire and “did not identify a small group of permanent hotspots suitable for continuous mobile surveillance”. The investigation followed a council resolution to examine mobile and relocatable CCTV for recurring illegal camping and dumping, including a possible six-month trial.

“the report did not identify permanent hotspots for CCTV” Council’s report said it already owns two mobile CCTV trailers and three semi-mobile CCTV pods, as well as covert cameras used at illegal dumping hotspots. “The investigation found that improving the reliability and utilisation of council’s existing fleet would provide greater value than purchasing or leasing additional units,” the report states. “No budget is available for additional equipment or a separately funded six-month trial.” Council said CCTV could help identify patterns of occupation and improve the timing of ranger patrols, but had significant limitations when dealing with illegal camping. “Footage alone will generally not establish whether a person is unlawfully camping, lawfully parked, temporarily occupying a public

place or experiencing homelessness,” the report states. “A Ranger or other authorised officer will generally need to attend the location, confirm the circumstances and engage with the occupant.” The report concludes CCTV “cannot replace on-site inspection or officer judgement”. Council said illegal camping complaints were commonly associated with coastal foreshore reserves, beach-access car parks, road reserves, public car parks and areas with overnight parking restrictions. The report also warns surveillance can simply move the problem elsewhere. “Operational experience indicates that surveillance or enforcement at one location can displace activity to another,” it states. A new trailer-mounted CCTV unit would cost about $92,000 excluding GST, while a concrete-base pod would cost around $36,800. Council officers instead recommend repairing an existing pod currently out of service and making better use of the five units already owned. “Improving the reliability and utilisation of this existing capability will provide greater value than purchasing or leasing additional equipment,” the report concludes. Councillors have been recommended to receive and note the report. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you know a hot spot for mobile CCTV?

Anger over dangerous prank

By Jonathon Howard

TWEED STUDENTS from nine of the Shire’s smallest public schools took centre stage in Murwillumbah on Wednesday, September 23, for a celebration of music, dance and young talent. The third annual Tweed Small Schools Talent Show showcased around 20 acts at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre. Students from Fingal Head, Duranbah, Condong, Tumbulgum, Crabbes Creek, Stokers Siding, Dungay, Tyalgum and Crystal Creek public schools all performed before an audience of fellow students, families, educators and community members. Now in its third year, the talent show was established by specialist music teacher

CJ Shaw to give students from smaller schools the opportunity to perform on a professional stage before a large audience. The Weekly was invited to the rehearsal show on Tuesday, September 22. “The idea behind the Talent Show was to bring our schools together and give these students a proper stage, a big audience and the experience of being part of a major performance,” Mr Shaw said. “Three years on, it has become a fantastic celebration of what our small schools can offer. “These schools might be small in numbers, but they are big on talent, confidence and opportunity.” The journey to the Civic Centre begins within each participating school, where students take part in their own talent

shows before selected acts progress to the combined regional event. The result will be a diverse showcase featuring music, dance and other performances, while giving students from different school communities the chance to meet and support each other. This year’s event will also include students from Wollumbin High School, helping strengthen connections between local primary and secondary schools. Organisers said the partnership was part of a wider effort to create opportunities beyond individual school gates and help primary students build positive connections as they prepare for high school. The event also embraces the philosophy behind the Tweed’s small-school community of “small schools, big opportunities”.

POTTSVILLE RESIDENTS are furious about a group of children who have been blocking the main street during the night, endangering lives and frustrating local business owners and drivers. The dangerous prank has been going on for months and the children were at it again on the weekend, placing items such as wheelie bins and signage from businesses on the beach end of Coronation Street across the road, blocking traffic from passing. Drivers had to stop and remove the obstacles from the road, only for the children to put them back across again. Several locals reported being subject to abuse from the children when they moved the obstacles. An ambulance also had to stop for the road block, sparking outrage among local residents. Locals reported that two children around 13 or 14 years of age sharing one electric scooter were reportedly seen near the road block at various times on Saturday night, including around 2am when the road was cleared. It was blocked again shortly after and that had happened several times on Saturday night and also early on Monday morning, just after midnight. The businesses who are having large items such as wheelie bins and signs used to block the road include Raine and Horne Pottsville Beach/Cabarita Beach. Jamie Wilmen is the Principal at the real estate agency. “If there are members of the community that have a teenager with the name Oliver, they should ask him what he has been up to late at night,” he said. “Either that or wait for the knock on the door.” Anyone with information on this matter can contact Tweed Heads Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Information can also be provided confidentially through NSW Crime Stoppers.

Man exposing himself concern TWEED BYRON Police have spoken to a man accused of exposing himself to women and girls at Tweed Heads South and are urging the public not to take any “vigilante action”. The warning comes after social media posts circulated about the man. A police spokesperson said officers were aware of the online posts about alleged inappropriate behaviour in the Tweed Heads South area, specifically around Arkinstall Park. A police spokesperson said officers had identified and spoken to a male and that investigations were ongoing. “We would like to thank members of the community who have contacted police and provided information,” a police spokesperson said. “Reports from the public are important and assist police in assessing and responding to incidents.” A member of the public posted an alert saying the man had “reportedly been seen on multiple occasions exposing himself to children and to people driving past in the area”. She posted photos of the alleged offender and asked locals to share the post and remain vigilant. “I have a photo of the individual and am sharing it so parents, residents and people travelling through the area can be aware and take appropriate precautions,” she wrote. “Please keep an extra eye on your kids, particularly around this area, and if you see this man or witness any inappropriate behaviour, please report it to NSW Police rather than approaching or confronting him yourself. “This behaviour is extremely concerning, particularly when children are involved. “If you’ve witnessed something involving

this person, make sure it is reported so there is a proper record of what is happening.” Another local women said she been approached in Harold Pearce Park on Falcon Way, which runs off Kirkwood Drive and is a short distance from Arkinstall Park. “He followed me and kept stopping and staring at me, this was at Harold Pearce Park, one local woman, who didn’t want to be named, told The Weekly. “The reason I was so scared is because my sister was murdered in Goodwin Park (Coolangatta) in 1986 and it triggered me.” Locals who spoke to The Weekly said they were concerned that the man they allege has been exposing himself to members of the public is the son of a man who was charged with possessing “depraved” child abuse photos and videos at a different location in 2024. Some also said were living together father and son live near schools and parks, although The Weekly was unable to confirm if the father was living with his son. “He and his father keep on getting let off,” one local mother of young children, who did not want to be named, alleged to The Weekly. “They live right next to four big schools, the soccer grounds, the netball courts and the tennis courts. “The courts just keep letting them off because of a mental illness clause.” The father avoided jail after the judge found “exceptional circumstances” in the child abuse image case, which involved images of children as young as two years old. The judge said he had read a psychological report indicating the behaviour was out of character and that the father did not have “ingrained pedophilic attitudes”. Additional mitigating factors cited by the judge included the father’s early guilty plea,

The man allegedly exposed himself numerous times in Tweed Heads South

his rehabilitation from methamphetamine addiction and the risk that a prison sentence would completely derail his career as a mining specialist. The father was sentenced to a three-year probationary order, with local residents subsequently petitioning to have the sentence repealed. Police said they understood the alleged offences involving his son “have caused considerable concern within the local community, particularly for parents”. “Police take reports of this nature seriously and encourage anyone who has witnessed suspicious or inappropriate behaviour, or who may have relevant information, to contact police directly,” the police spokesperson wrote. “We also remind community members that while we appreciate public concern and vigilance, we do not condone vigilante action, harassment, threats, or attempts to identify, locate, confront, or target individuals. “Such actions can place community members at risk, may adversely impact police inquiries, and may expose yourself to criminal liability.” If you witness an incident occurring, please contact Triple Zero (000).

Part of the cannabis production set-up police found

Pot crop busted A MAN from Cudgera Creek has copped a big fine after being busted last year growing a commercial quantity of cannabis and showing “little or no remorse”, according to the judge. Tweed Byron Police said that on Tuesday September 15, 2026, the 34-year-old man was convicted in the Murwillumbah Local Court for cultivating prohibited plants and supplying cannabis. During December 2025, the Proactive Crime Team attached to Tweed Byron Police District executed a search warrant at an address in Kanes Road and located 50 cannabis plants and 2.5kg of cannabis leaf. The sentencing judge said that “the set up was quite a sophisticated operation that had effects on the community and noted the male showed little or no remorse for his offending.” He was sentenced to a two-year community corrections order, was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service, and fined a total of $19,500.

Tragic death of surfer sparks beach warning A man has died after being pulled from the water at Cabarita Beach Photo Cabarita Beach SLSC

main volunteer beach patrol season. More than 21,000 volunteer patrolling members are due to begin patrols across NSW from Saturday, September 26, for the next seven months. “This past weekend – the last weekend before our volunteer patrols begin – was horrific, and I want to pass on my condolences to the families of those involved,” SLSNSW CEO Steve Pearce said. “These incidents are another reminder of how important it is to check Beachsafe to find your nearest patrolled location when you visit the coastline.” Mr Pearce said that even outside the volunteer patrol season, some beaches have Australian Lifeguard Service or council lifeguards on duty. For people swimming at unpatrolled locations, he urged beachgoers to take additional precautions. “It’s imperative that you do so with at least one other person with you, there is good phone connectivity at the location, and you have a floatation device with you,” he said. “These are all considerations that will help in the event the worst were to happen.” Surf Life Saving NSW is reminding beachgoers to swim between the red and yellow flags, read beach safety signs and ask lifesavers or lifeguards about local conditions. Swimmers are also urged to stay with someone else, supervise children around the water, avoid swimming under the influence of alcohol or drugs and, if they get into trouble, remain calm and raise one arm to attract attention. In an emergency, call Triple Zero (000). Police have urged anyone with information about the Cabarita incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Information can also be provided confidentially through NSW Crime Stoppers

00401 GSR QP

A SURFER has died after being pulled from the water at Cabarita Beach on Saturday, September 19, one of three drownings at NSW beaches over the weekend in what life saving authorities described as a “horrific” weekend. The Cabarita Beach man had reportedly been surfing on the north side of Norries Headland when he was found in the water and taken into the beach by three other surfers at around 12.30pm. Police said officers from the Tweed/Byron Police District arrived to find three members of the public attempting to revive the swimmer. NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the man before he was taken to Tweed Valley Hospital, where tragically, he later died. A police investigation is underway with a report to be prepared for the NSW Coroner. Surf Life Saving NSW said a drone operator working on behalf of the NSW Government’s Shark Management Program spotted the incident and alerted the organisation’s State Operations Centre. Bystanders, including a member of Cabarita Beach Surf Club, assisted with CPR. The drone pilot retrieved a defibrillator and a single shock was delivered before the man was transported to hospital by road under emergency conditions. The death has prompted an outpouring of grief among Cabarita locals, with one community post describing the man as a long-time local, avid surfer and ocean lover who had died at the age of 54. His name has not been publicly confirmed and the community post has asked for his identity to remain private out of respect for his family. Witnesses and rescuers expressed hope at the time that the man might survive and were devastated to hear that he had died. In another incident at Saltwater Beach, near Forster, three men in their 20s were pulled from the water on Sunday. One man could not be revived. Later that afternoon, three people were reported in distress at Stockton Beach. Emergency services responded, with one man receiving CPR before being declared deceased. Surf Life Saving NSW described the weekend as “horrific” as the state prepares to enter the

How a volunteer found Yvonne Whear’s car By Jonathon Howard

A QUEENSLAND-BASED volunteer search organisation has revealed how a three-hour sonar search of the Rous River led to the discovery of missing Dungay woman Yvonne Whear’s vehicle, describing the find as a major “breakthrough” in the seven-month mystery. Yvonne Whear, 73, has been missing since February 19, and her vehicle was last seen travelling north along Queensland Road towards Dungay. Cam heads up volunteer organisation Sun State Search and was able to locate Yvonne’s gold Ford Escape last month. Cam recently met with The Weekly in the Tweed to give readers an insight into his breakthrough find in what remains an active missing person case. He was in fact visiting Tweed at the time of the discovery to aid in a police and SES coordinated search for another missing person, when he made contact with the team of dedicated volunteers assisting Yvonne’s family, who expressed interest in the Rous River which they believed warranted further searching. “I just came in as, ‘You guys know the area. I’m a resource to be used where you think it needs to be used’.” he said. Using advanced sonar tech, the resulting search covered about 12 kilometers and took just three hours, with Cam passing over what would later be confirmed as Yvonne’s vehicle. Despite the sophisticated technology, the vessel they brought was remarkably simple a $200 kayak. “The idea is cheap and dirty,” he said. “It’s gotta go over logs, it’s gotta get into ugly looking areas. “With long-term missing persons, there’s often a reason something isn’t found earlier.

“We need to go where others didn’t, and we need equipment that we aren’t afraid to use.” The advanced sonar equipment allows Cam to conduct wide-angle scans of the riverbed before returning to investigate objects of interest using more detailed inspection equipment. However, a second search was never required. “The vehicle was in one of the places the volunteer team had asked me to check,” he said. “It was understandable that police missed it. “Initially I didn’t know what it was, only that it was a large object. “We circled it to scan from different directions, and it was only days later through reviewing the data recording on a big screen that I concluded it must be a vehicle.” He said he was told by police that the vehicle had previously been seen by their scanners in an earlier search, but that it was not recognised as a car because of the way it was positioned and heavily embedded in silt. Cam said he supplied GPS coordinates and sonar imagery to Tweed-based detectives, who called in the NSW Marine Area Command (MAC) dive team that identified the submerged vehicle and had it recovered with help from the Tweed Heads Water Police and a local crane hire company (pictured). Yvonne was not located with the vehicle, and Cam said the discovery had not provided the closure he initially hoped for. Instead, he believes his volunteer organisation’s role in the search has largely finished and the investigation is now back in the hands of police. “There are a lot of unresolved missing persons cases, and there’s probably a role to play for responsible civilian volunteer organisations to assist authorities,” he said.

VEHICLE DISCOVERY: Cam found Yvonne Whear's car at the above location on Dulgiagan Road

“Tasmania is moving in the right direction, supporting civilian volunteer organisation FOLLO (Find Our Lost Loved Ones), who have helped bring closure to families down there and who would like to extend that cooperative model across the country. “I feel like this is a bit of a breakthrough from the volunteer side,” he said, “and now it’s back to the authorities to carry the ball forward and find Yvonne.” “We didn’t come in interested in that,” he said of theories surrounding Yvonne’s disappearance — “our part was just that there’s a big chunk of metal out there somewhere. Where is it?” Now, the vehicle has been found but the search for Yvonne Whear continues. The Weekly requested further information from NSW Police in regards to Yvonne’s vehicle. NSW Police said they established a crime scene and the vehicle was forensically examined, with further mechanical examination to be undertaken. “Several personal items, believed to belong to Yvonne, were also recovered,” police told

The Weekly. “Yvonne was not located with the vehicle and remains outstanding as a missing person.” “As inquiries continue, police continue to appeal for public assistance to locate Yvonne.” Anyone with information about Yvonne Whear is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000. Information is managed on a confidential basis.

The Tweed Big Map encouraged residents to think ahead and have a plan before the next emergency.

Here is what people took home:

1. Have a plan before the next emergency.

The Tweed Big Map, brought by the NSW Reconstruction Authority, drew all ages. Walking across the region got people talking about which roads they would take, how they would reach family without phone service and what belongs in a flood pack. The Rural Fire Service, NSW State Emergency Service (SES) and Tweed Community Resilience Hubs were on hand with answers.

2. Heat is a health issue, and neighbours are part

of the answer. Council's Community Care team, 'Healthy North Coast' and NSW Ambulance ran a session on heat and older residents. Early signs of heat illness are feeling faint, dizzy, sweating heavily and fatigue. The advice from Aimee McNeill of Healthy North Coast and Council's Jo Watters: find a cool place such as a library, keep drinking water on hand, stay hydrated, use ice packs or a wet washer, check with your GP about medications, and if you cannot get in, call Healthdirect on 1800 022 222 or use the urgent care clinic at Tweed Heads.

3. Know your soil before you plant.

Jordan Alexander from The Shed Organics pitched his workshop to the room, and on the coast that meant sand. "There's a lot of people dealing with sandy soil, so we wanted to teach about adding organic matter," he said. Compost adds biology, plants at every height shade the soil, and a garden with healthy soil and plenty of insects does not need pest control.

Six things the Tweed took home from the Sustainable Living Festival

It rained for most of Saturday's Tweed Sustainable Living Festival at Kingscliff High School, which for a festival about living with the climate felt about right. More than 800 people came anyway, for 25 free workshops, talks and more than 30 stalls run by local growers, makers, environment groups, emergency services and Council staff. "The festival is about the small, practical changes people can make at home, whether that is getting better use from their solar and energy-efficient appliances, compost on a sandy garden bed or a phone call to the neighbour who lives alone. To see people active in the stalls and workshops in the rain tells us how much appetite there is in the Tweed for living well with our climate," Tweed Shire Council's Project Officer (Sustainability) Jane Moad said.

Last week, we each used

Still time to see Beach Life at Tweed Regional Gallery Catch Beach Life, a touring exhibition of coastal works by acclaimed Australian artist Nicholas Harding, at Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre until Sunday 22 November 2026. Drawn from the Nicholas Harding Estate's private collection, the exhibition features expressive oil paintings, watercolours and ink drawings exploring Harding's connection to New South Wales beaches and coastal landscapes. Harding won the Archibald and Dobell Drawing prizes in 2001 and the Wynne Prize in 2022. His work is held in major collections including the National Gallery of Australia and the Art Gallery of New South Wales. He also had a strong connection to the Tweed, working on several occasions in the Gallery's Nancy Fairfax Artist in Residence Studio. "Beach Life is an extraordinary exhibition that will resonate strongly with audiences in the Tweed, where connection to the coast is such an important part of everyday life," Gallery Director Ingrid Hedgcock said. Twenty original ink drawings are available for purchase, and selected coastal paintings are offered as limited edition prints through the Gallery Shop. Murwillumbah is the first stop before the exhibition tours to Port Macquarie and Manly.

Exhibition details

When: Until Sunday 22 November. Open Wednesday to Sunday. Time: 10 am to 4 pm Where: Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre, 2 Mistral Road, Murwillumbah South Visit gallery.tweed.nsw.gov.au for more information. Hands-on mending workshops encouraged residents to extend the life of everyday items rather than throw them away.

4. Mend it, swap it, keep it.

Christine Flood's mending station took up tracksuit pants and patched trousers all day while she talked fast fashion. Julie Merrifold's group 'We Can Make It Together' showed bags and pencil cases made from upholstery fabric rescued from a furniture store's skip. "Very little goes in the bin," she said. 'Manny & Me' sold upcycled clothing and 'Kingscliff Men's Shed' ran a repair station for jobs that need a workbench.

Plant what belongs and keep our bees thriving. The 'Caldera Environment Centre' brought plants found only in the Tweed, including bleeding hearts, native mulberry and bolly gums. Council's Private Land and Conservation Officer Michael Corke made the same point from the other direction: work out your wind, aspect and soil, choose plants that will cope, and know that some natives from other regions become invasive here. Steve Maginnity from the Australian Native Bee Company said there has never been a better time to keep a native hive. "With European honey bees under attack from varroa mite, stingless native bees are far more resilient, and a backyard hive needs little more than a sheltered spot and something flowering nearby," he said.

6. Start with the thermal shell.

Solar and battery installer Damon Rahmate from 'Genevo', energy adviser Seb Crangle and Kingscliff resident Penny Gilmour, who has electrified her home, shared what works. Most Australian homes predate current standards, so start with the shell: awnings and shade sails to keep heat out, seal the gaps and insulate where you can. The cheapest fix was in the shower. A low-flow shower head cuts a 15 minute shower from about 16 litres a minute to 6, and less hot water means less energy. For more sustainable living tips, visit tweed.nsw.gov.au/sustainable-living

Council has published new guidance for anyone thinking of starting a petition A petition lets residents ask Council to take action on something, but it has to meet a set of requirements before it can be tabled at a Council meeting. Petitions that don't meet the base requirements are at risk of not being tabled, or not having all signatures counted. Most fall short for the same few reasons. The most common is signatures from people who do not live, or pay rates, in the Tweed Shire, because only Tweed residents and ratepayers count towards the total. Others arrive without full residential addresses, which means Council cannot validate them, or with the same person signing twice. Petitions started on online sites need particular care. Many collect only a name and an email address, so they rarely hold the detail Council needs. To qualify as a petition, there must be at least 20 valid signatures. A new page sets out everything a petition needs, along with a checklist to work through before you lodge. Read the guidance at tweed.nsw.gov.au/petitions

New petition guidance helps Tweed residents understand the requirements for lodging a petition with Council.

175 QUARRY ROAD, SOUTH MURWILLUMBAH

Mould works continue By Jonathon Howard

POTTSVILLE AMBULANCE Station remains closed due to ongoing mould issues, months after problems were identified at three Tweed stations, but NSW Ambulance says emergency services have not been affected. The Weekly sought an update this week on remediation works at Pottsville, Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah ambulance stations after mould concerns emerged in April and May. A NSW Ambulance spokesperson confirmed staff had now returned to Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah following remediation works and safety testing, while further work was continuing at Pottsville. “NSW Ambulance engaged specialists to remediate identified mould issues at Murwillumbah, Pottsville and Tweed Heads ambulance stations,” the spokesperson said. “Remediation works, repairs and specialist hygienist cleaning have been completed at Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah ambulance stations. “Staff have returned to these sites following testing that confirmed it was safe to do so.” Pottsville staff remain temporarily based at Kingscliff Ambulance Station while work continues, with NSW Ambulance expecting the remediation process to be completed this month. “Specialist hygienist cleaning and remediation works are expected to be completed at Pottsville Ambulance Station this month, and staff will return to the station once hygienist

testing confirms that it is safe to do so,” the spokesperson said. “Pottsville staff are temporarily relocated to Kingscliff Ambulance Station, with access to a standby point at Pottsville during their shifts for amenity breaks, in line with standard business continuity arrangements.” Mould was first detected at the three Tweed stations earlier this year, prompting cleaning, remediation and temporary working arrangements. At Pottsville, surface mould was identified on an air-conditioning unit and ceilings. Tweed Heads Ambulance Station was also subject to a cease work directive issued by a Health and Safety representative on May 6 after mould was detected around air-conditioning duct outlets. At Murwillumbah, mould was initially identified in a room affected by a water leak, with further surface mould found on air-conditioning ducts. NSW Ambulance stressed that despite the disruption to its facilities, emergency response capabilities had continued throughout the remediation process. “The health and safety of our staff is paramount, and staff have been consulted throughout the process,” the spokesperson said. “There is no impact on ambulance operations. If the community calls Triple Zero (000) for an emergency, NSW Ambulance will be there to respond.”

Veterans hub opens

• Turf orders Available • Corten Steel Edging • Concrete block retaining walls • Besser blocks • Concrete pavers

MORE THAN 25,000 veterans and their families across the North Coast and southern Gold Coast will have access to support closer to home following the official opening of the Tweedbased North Coast Veterans’ and Families’ Hub. Located at 145 Wharf Street in Tweed Heads, the new hub will operate as a one-stop shop offering practical assistance, wellbeing services and opportunities for veterans and their families to connect with others in the community. RSL LifeCare will operate the facility following a $5.5 million Australian Government grant, with the hub designed in consultation with the veteran community. Services will include financial counselling, assistance with Department of Veterans’ Affairs claims and employment advice, alongside peer support and social activities including kayaking and cooking classes. Veterans’ Affairs Minister Matt Keogh said the facility would mean veterans could enjoy living in the region while having important services nearby. “Veterans and their families love the lifestyle benefits on offer at the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast, and now with the North Coast Hub opening they get to live where they love with the supports they need close to home,” Mr Keogh said. “The North Coast Hub can help with pragmat-

ic issues getting a claim into DVA, but it’s also a place for the veteran community to connect with each other in a relaxed social setting. “This is another important milestone in our more than $50 million commitment to expand the network Veterans’ and Families’ Hubs across the country.” The Federal Government has been expanding its Veterans’ and Families’ Hub network around Australia, with the facilities intended to provide local access to support and stronger community connections. ([Minister for Veterans’ Affairs][1]) Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot said the new Tweed facility would serve a significant veteran population. “We have a large ex-service population in the region with more than 25,000 veterans and families, including many older veterans and war widows,” Ms Elliot said. “Having tailored veteran support and services accessible locally is so important to improving the health, wellbeing, and economic outcomes of those who bravely served our nation. “As your local Labor MP, I’m proud to have delivered on my election commitment that the Albanese Labor Government would invest more than $5 million to deliver the new Veterans’ and Families’ Hub in the Tweed.”

Hope the Springtime has been a time of new beginnings for you! The market is also tuning into the season, and we are trying something new. From this week onward the market layout will look different as we are renewing our market layout. We have wanted to make some changes to create better market experience for you and unite our stallholders in a new way. This week we are expanding the market area outside and creating more seating for our customers under the shady trees for the summer. With this, the use of the big shed is decreasing, at least temporarily, and more changes are under way as the market is developing. You will find all our familiar stalls plus new ones still at the markets, but some of them are now

in new spots! If you have difficulty to find someone, please come and visit the market office for guidance. Over the coming weeks, we would also love to hear your feedback on the new layout! With the new area and over the coming weeks, we’re getting new stalls to join us! This week you could find Cool Bananas to join us for the first time. Cool Bananas and Dana are bringing you the option of delicious acai bowls and chocolate dipped bananas. Dana’s organic acai bowls are loaded with crunchy Byron muesli, locally sourced fresh fruit and finished with optional sauce options. Great option for breakfast as the mornings are getting warmer! We have also exciting news for all of you chilli lovers out there as we have Mr Staple joining us for the first time with his flavoursome chillies!

New owners of Get Wet Swimming By Jonathon Howard

00287 Get Wet Swimming QP

A PASSIONATE local family has taken the reins at one of the Tweed Valley’s best learn-to-swim businesses, with Get Wet Swimming entering a new chapter under the experienced educator and swimming instructor Clive Martin and his family. Clive took over the swim school from long-time owners David and Julie in January and said the focus was firmly on maintaining the welcoming, family atmosphere that has made Get Wet Swimming a local icon. “It’s great. We love it,” Clive told The Weekly. “Such a great community of people. The customers really make it.” Clive and his family already knew the swim school well before becoming its owners and were customers themselves – and their children continue lessons there. While it is largely business as usual, the new owners have introduced an online booking platform as well as solar and battery power. The live system and app allow parents to book, pay and cancel lessons when children are away and organise sessions. “We’ve made it a lot simpler for people to organise swimming around their lives essentially,” Clive said. “If you’re away for a week going camping or on a trip or something, you can cancel and have unlimited makeups.” Clive brings extensive experience in education to the business, having worked as a teacher since graduating

“We’ve made it a lot simpler for people to organise swimming around their lives” from university, as well as being a swim instructor. For him, however, Get Wet Swimming is about more than teaching swimming strokes. “It really means being part of the community, I feel,” he said. “It’s like a connection where everyone can come and not only learn this lifesaving skills of learning to swim but make friends.” Another feature retained at Get Wet Swimming is its ozone-based pool water system, which reduces the strong chlorine smell often associated with indoor swimming pools. Clive said the system was particularly beneficial for instructors who spend considerable amounts of time in the water, as well as babies with sensitive skin. Get Wet offers lessons from as young as six months, with Clive encouraging families not to wait too long before introducing their children to the water. “We do see a big difference in kids that come to us when they’re four and five years old and just starting on their swim journey, to ones that have come through with our babies’ program,” he said.

Clive Martin has taken the reins at Get Wet Swimming

“The level of comfort and competence in the water is amazing.” Clive said children who are initially nervous are given time to become comfortable with the experience. “Everything that is new is different.

Different may not be bad, it just can be a challenge at the start,” he said. “I’ve never seen a kid that’s not ended up having a great time.” With a play area available for siblings and an emphasis on keeping

lessons relaxed, Clive said maintaining the family-friendly environment remained central to the business. “We really focus on the family vibe,” he said.

SPRING TRADE TIPS

Never take chances with asbestos: Renovating an older home can uncover asbestoscontaining materials. Don’t cut, sand, drill or remove anything

you suspect contains asbestos – engage a suitably qualified professional to assess and safely remove it such as the Asbestos Association.

Get the mower ready: Before the spring growth takes off, service mowers, brushcutters, chainsaws and other small engines. Fresh fuel, clean filters, sharp blades and a general service can help avoid breakdowns when you need them most.

Check your water supply: If you rely on tanks, pumps or rural water systems, inspect them now. Check pumps, filters, pipes and tanks and make sure your water supply is ready for increased summer demand.

Tackle mould early: Winter moisture can leave mould lurking in bathrooms, bedrooms and poorly ventilated spaces. Find and address the source of moisture rather than simply painting or cleaning over recurring mould.

Give your plumbing a once-over: Look for dripping taps, leaking toilets, slow drains and damp areas around pipes. Small leaks can waste significant amounts of water and may become much bigger problems if ignored.

Clear out the clutter: Garages, sheds, spare rooms and yards can quickly fill with unwanted items. A professional rubbish removal service can make light work of bigger spring clean-outs.

Deep clean the forgotten areas: Spring cleaning is a good opportunity to get behind appliances, under furniture and into those corners missed during regular cleaning. Don’t forget windows, screens and outdoor entertaining areas.

Clear those gutters: Leaves, sticks and other debris can build up over winter. Clean gutters and downpipes to help spring storms drain properly and reduce potential fire fuel around the home.

Prepare for storm season: Trim problem vegetation where appropriate, secure loose outdoor items and inspect roofs, gutters and drainage. Getting trades in early can help uncover maintenance issues before severe summer weather arrives.

Check for hidden water damage: Look around bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and external walls for staining, swelling, musty smells or dampness. Finding a leak early can prevent expensive structural repairs and mould problems later.

Royal coach builder’s legacy remembered By Jonathon Howard

THE PASSING of celebrated Australian carriage builder Jim Frecklington has revived memories in the Tweed of a remarkable local connection to one of his most famous creations, the Australian State Coach presented to Queen Elizabeth II. Mr Frecklington, 76, died after receiving treatment for cancer for the past three years, according to a report by The Manly Daily. The master craftsman became internationally renowned for creating elaborate horse-drawn carriages for the Royal Family, including the Australian State Coach and, later, the Diamond Jubilee State Coach for the late Queen of England. But tucked away in old newspaper clippings and treasured documents is the story of Terranora couple Richard and Caroline Goodfellow, who played their own part in bringing the Australian State Coach project to fruition, and were ultimately invited to meet the Queen when the carriage was officially presented in Canberra. Mr Goodfellow was executive director of the Australia Coach Trust, which oversaw the project to construct the handcrafted coach as Australia’s Bicentennial gift to Queen Elizabeth II. An old Tweed newspaper report described

Caroline Goodfellow, Jim Frecklington and Richard Goodfellow

the coach as weighing about 1.5 tonnes and being constructed by Mr Frecklington, who was described as one of the last genuine coachbuilders in the world. The project involved craftsmen from across NSW, with much of the framework and bodywork undertaken at Mr Frecklington’s workshop. The carriage was made from Australian materials and featured intricate craftsmanship, including Royal and Commonwealth insignias. Contemporary reports put its value at more than $1 million. For the Goodfellows, the culmination of the project came in May 1988. An official Australia Coach Trust invitation dated May 4, 1988, invited Richard Goodfellow to attend the presentation of the Australian State Coach to Queen Elizabeth II at Yarralumla, the Governor-General’s residence in Canberra, on Sunday, May 8. The letter described the occasion as “a very special one”, both for the Queen and for those who would remember their involvement in the historic project. Mr Goodfellow and his wife Caroline were among a select group of about 100 people invited to attend. A newspaper report following the event described it as a “Memorable day for Tweed man”, recounting how Mr Goodfellow was introduced to the Queen by Mr Frecklington, who was also a good friend. “After I was introduced to the Queen, she told me how pleased she was to meet me. In return, I said, ‘it is a great honour to meet you, Your Majesty’,” Mr Goodfellow recalled at the time. He was also introduced to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and recalled a memorable exchange about his work managing a shopping centre in Tweed Heads. After Mr Goodfellow asked Prince Philip what he thought of the coach, the Duke reportedly

Jim Frecklington built the Queen's coach

answered that it was “absolutely marvellous”. The Queen and Prince Philip had earlier inspected the coach and been told about the many Australians and organisations that contributed to its construction and financing. Photographs from the presentation show Mr Goodfellow being formally introduced to the Queen, while another captures the monarch inspecting the newly presented carriage. The Tweed connection extended well beyond the ceremony. Mr Goodfellow brought considerable business experience to the Australia Coach Trust. An earlier profile recorded that he had worked in retail, advertising and shopping centre management before becoming centre manager of Tweed City Shopping Centre, where he oversaw the centre during a period of major growth. Almost four decades later, Mr Frecklington’s death marks the passing of the craftsman at the heart of that extraordinary project. His legacy, however, remains very much alive. The Australian State Coach remains part of the Royal Collection, while Mr Frecklington’s later Diamond Jubilee State Coach became another extraordinary example of Australian craftsmanship associated with the monarchy. A tribute posted following his death described him as a man whose legacy would live on through the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, the Australian State Coach and the many projects

and associations formed during “a remarkable and productive life”. For the Goodfellow family and the Tweed, the old photographs, newspaper clippings and formal invitation preserved from 1988 are also reminders that a small part of that remarkable story belongs here.

Babies steal the show By Jonathon Howard

TWEED BABIES, toddlers and families enjoyed a successful day out at the All Saints Anglican Baby Show, with 25 young entrants taking part in the 2026 event. Organiser Merilyn Gilmore said the day was well supported by the community, with plenty of activities keeping children entertained alongside the popular baby show. “It was a very successful day, with 25 babies in the baby show,” Ms Gilmore said. “The children all enjoyed the free jumping castle and face painting.” Rocky Hogan was named the youngest baby, while Kaladin Phelan took out the Prince title and Sienna James was crowned Princess. Youngsters also competed for Cutest Smile, Happiest Baby and Longest Eyelashes across four age groups. Cutest Smile winners were Buckley Hayes, Annabelle Howard, Harlan Veares and Violet Hogan, while Roman Veares, Ezio Guinea, Mo-

jave Flores and Alfie Sloman were named the Happiest Babies in their respective age groups. Freya Goward, Vaali Dahl, Sienna James and Mia Hubbard took out the Longest Eyelashes categories. Stella Hammond was named Best Dressed Girl in the one-to-three-year age group, while Austin Wagner won Best Dressed Boy. Ms Gilmore said a gardening workshop was another highlight of the event, giving children the opportunity to pick vegetables, including carrots, before planting a pot to take home. “The gardening workshop was a great success,” she said. Ms Gilmore thanked the local businesses that donated and supported the event, with proceeds to be directed towards worthy community causes. “Donations will be made to worthwhile groups such as Wedgetail for palliative care,” she said. Following another successful turnout, Ms Gilmore said organisers were already “looking forward to next year”.

Banora Public Eagles soar into finals By Jonathon Howard

BANORA POINT Public School’s boys touch football team is one victory away from being crowned North Coast champions after an impressive run through the 2026 NSWPSSA Boys Touch Football knockout competition. The Banora Eagles met with The Weekly this week to share their news about earning a place in the North Coast Regional Final against Hastings Public School from Port Macquarie, with the biggest game of their campaign to be played on home turf at Banora Point High School on Friday, September 25. The boys booked their place in the regional decider after defeating Lennox Head Public School 3–2 in a hard-fought quarter-final before travelling south to Woolgoolga for their regional semi-final against Mullaway Public School. Coaches Theresa Trew and Trent Matheson have been working with the team during lunch breaks and other free time, focusing on strategy, positional play and keeping the ball moving. But a key part of the team is also teamwork, friendship and inclusiveness, which could be the side’s winning formula. Dual captions Carter Gatt and Jack Lee said teamwork had been a major part of the Eagles’ success, with the boys learning to stay positive regardless of what happens on the field. Their approach has been simple: “never put their heads down, be good teammates, keep attacking and, when things do not go their way, refocus and keep their heads high”. Mrs Trew said one of the most rewarding aspects of the campaign had been watching the players encourage each other, including teammates sidelined through injury. “The boys have continued helping one an-

other improve while keeping one important ingredient at the centre of their campaign — having fun and playing alongside their mates,” she told The Weekly. Their motto sums up the spirit that has carried them into the regional decider: “Banora

Eagles soar to the heights and never give up.” The team has also received some valuable backing from the local community, with Northern Rover Civil Construction purchasing 14 training jerseys for the players. Mrs Trew said the team’s progress had been

built on commitment, determination, school pride and a willingness to support one another throughout the knockout competition. A victory over Hastings Public School on Friday will see the Banora Eagles crowned North Coast champions and cap off a mem-

Agent of the Week

By Jo Kennett

people build a lifestyle. That experience shaped the way I view real estate today.

OUR AGENT of the Week is Julie-Anne Manahan, Founder and Selling Principal at Mana Real Estate. With more than 25 years’ experience, Julie-Anne brings extensive knowledge, genuine care and a people-first approach to real estate. Since relocating to the Northern Rivers in 2014, she has helped clients across the region and Tweed achieve their property goals. In 2025, she launched Mana Real Estate, drawing on experience across residential, commercial, development and planning. We caught up with Julie-Anne for a chat.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT WORKING IN REAL ESTATE, AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES?

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

I’ve been a licensed real estate agent for more than 30 years, working across city, regional and rural markets. My passion for property really began when I worked with the team developing Harrington Park and Harrington Grove in south-west Sydney. It was one of the largest residential community developments in the area, and what inspired me was that it wasn’t simply about selling homes or blocks of land; it was about creating a community and helping

Open Homes

The people are definitely what I love most. Every client has a different story, whether they’re buying their first home, selling a family property, downsizing or looking for a lifestyle change. I enjoy helping people navigate what can sometimes be a very emotional and complex journey. Real estate also comes with plenty of challenges. Markets change, circumstances change and sometimes you need to have difficult conversations with clients. I’m not afraid of those conversations if I know they will ultimately benefit my client. For me, it’s about providing honest advice and being there for people every step of the way.

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

My experience covers a broad range of property, including residential sales, home and land, estate development and planning, retail leasing and commercial property. These days, my real passion is helping people find a property that suits

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

One of the biggest changes I’ve seen is how much more informed buyers and sellers are. Technology has transformed the way people research property, compare markets and make decisions. At the same time, there is still enormous value in local knowledge and having someone who understands the nuances of a particular area. I’ve also seen buyers become increasingly focused on lifestyle, flexibility and long-term value, rather than simply looking at a property as an asset.

WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DO YOU THINK THE SLOWDOWN IN INVESTOR ACTIVITY NATIONALLY BRINGS?

Periods of change in the market can create opportunities for different types of buyers. A quieter investor market can potentially provide more space for owner-

occupiers and lifestyle buyers to compete on properties that may previously have attracted strong investor interest. It also reinforces the importance of understanding the fundamentals of a property and making decisions based on your own circumstances and longterm goals, rather than simply following the market.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR SELLERS?

Preparation is everything. Make sure your property is presented at its best, understand the current market and choose an agent who will give you honest, informed advice – even when it’s not necessarily what you want to hear. I also encourage sellers to look beyond simply choosing the agent who gives them the highest price appraisal. You want someone who has a clear strategy, strong communication and the experience to guide you through the entire process.

WHAT ABOUT BUYERS? ANY ADVICE?

Do your homework and know what is important to you. It’s easy to become emotionally attached to a property, but you also need to consider the bigger picture – location, lifestyle, affordability and what the property will mean for you in the years ahead.
