Night-time economy boosted A PRIVATE CREMATION - $2,750 includes GST -

A SIGNIFICANT GRANT will bring a year of film, music and culture to Murwillumbah’s CBD after dark.

Business Murwillumbah (BM) has been awarded $200,000 through the NSW Government’s Regional Night-Time Economy Program to deliver events and culture across the CBD from August 2026 to May 2027.

Kicking off in August, the town will host a year-long series of film, music and cultural events designed to draw residents and visitors into the CBD long after sunset.

The initiative, led by BM, will bring together a business collective of more than 17 local venues, businesses and cultural organisations in a coordinated effort to showcase the town’s creative spirit, and to boost evening trade.

The program was championed by BM Treasurer Phillip Hepburn, owner of Tweed River House, whose drive and leadership were instrumental in securing the grant.

“I have always believed Murwillumbah has the venues, the talent and the character to be a genuinely exciting night-time destination,” Phillip told The Weekly.

“This grant is a game-changer for our local businesses. It means more people in the CBD after dark, more trade for our hospitality and creative industries, and a program of events that will put Murwillumbah on the map for visitors from right across the region.

“I’m incredibly proud of what our Business Collective has pulled together and

can’t wait to see our town come alive.”

The funding places Murwillumbah among a small group of business collectives selected for the inaugural round of the state program which aims to grow vibrant economies in regional towns from day to night, build local business capability, and create new reasons for locals and visitors to stay longer.

Over the next 12 months, four major events will transform streets, lane ways and venues into hubs of entertainment and cultural activity.

The program begins on August 28 with a weekend of film, live music, projection art, workshops, and community storytelling celebrating the identity and creativity of Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley.

In November, the Murwillumbah International Film Festival will bring international and independent cinema to The Regent, accompanied by themed dining experiences and extended evening trading throughout the CBD. Three months later, Murwillumbah Through the Ages will showcase a nostalgia-fuelled weekend of classic and cult films, decade-themed venue events and live music spanning the 1970s to 2000s.

The program culminates in May 2027 with Lights, Camera, Action, an outdoor cinema and illuminated laneway festival centred on Proudfoots Lane.

An extraordinary network of Murwillumbah businesses, including The Regent, M|Arts Bar & Café, The Imperial Hotel, Courthouse Hotel, The Citadel, Tweed River House, Tweed Regional Museum, Murwillumbah Historical Society and

many more, will create a collaborative, CBD-wide experience that encourages extended evening trade and builds the town’s reputation as a regional cultural destination.

Murwillumbah is one of 10 regional towns selected in this pilot round of the program, which supports the NSW Government’s 24-Hour Economy Strategy.

The program officially begins on July 1.

Businesses and community members interested in getting involved are encouraged to contact Business Murwillumbah directly.

COMING SOON $350,000 to put Murwillumbah businesses in the driver’s seat.

Business Murwillumbah has also secured $350,000 from Transport for NSW to take the next step toward establishing a Community Improvement District (CID) in the Murwillumbah CBD.

Tweed rates to rise 3.6% TWEED RATEPAYERS will see their rates bills rise by an average of 3.6 per cent in 2026-27 after Tweed Shire Council adopted one of the lowest increases in the cross-border region and kept the overall rise below the current inflation rate.

The increase, endorsed by councillors during their monthly meeting last week, forms part of an average overall rise of about 3.6 per cent in household bills once water, sewerage and waste charges are included.

Council highlighted that the figure remains below the current annual inflation rate of 4.2 per cent.

The actual change to individual rate notices will vary depending on property type and service charges.

Mayor Chris Cherry said Council had sought to balance affordability with the need to maintain essential services at a time when many households were feeling

the effects of rising living costs.

“We know any increase is felt by our community, which is why we’ve kept this year’s rate increase as low as possible while still maintaining the essential services people rely on every day,” Cr Cherry said.

The mayor said Tweed compared favourably with neighbouring councils and with several NSW local government areas that had received approval for significantly larger increases.

“Compared to many councils across NSW, particularly those with much higher approved increases, Tweed’s rate increase remains modest and responsible,” she said.

Cr Cherry said the difference was even more pronounced when compared with councils across the border in Queensland, where rates are not subject to the same state-imposed caps.

“When you compare Tweed to the City of Gold Coast and other South East

Council has held the rate rise below inflation

Queensland councils, our increase is roughly half, and in some cases significantly less, than what residents are seeing just across the border,” she said.

Revenue raised through rates will continue to fund the maintenance of roads, parks and public spaces, as well as infrastructure required to support population growth and the provision of facilities used by residents and visitors.

“This is about delivering the services our community expects, while being responsible with ratepayer funds,” Cr Cherry said.

Council is encouraging residents experiencing financial hardship to contact the organisation to discuss support options available for rate payments.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made out of titanium, a biocompatible material surgically placed into the jaw bone. Dental Implants offer a secure solution to replace one or more teeth, providing a solid foundation for holding a crown, bridge, or denture.

They look, feel and function like natural teeth.

They are recommended to improve aesthetics, function (chewing) and speech. And they’re also easy to keep clean — just like your other teeth.

Stop the dumping now

My partner and I also walk along North Arm Road to Byangum Road daily and have witnessed on many occasions the blatant illegal dumping of rubbish strewn all over the road that Mrs Sandra Clarke is talking about (TVW, June 18, Letters).

My partner has given up on picking up the many Marlborough cigarette butts as no sooner there are more discarded a few days later, as well as other rubbish.

We have also reported this to council and supplied a name that was on a document amongst the rubbish, however, the dumping has continued and we believe this is done on purpose by some individual that derives some sort of sick pervasive pleasure in this behaviour.

I think that it’s time to install a camera on the hill leading up to Park Avenue to catch this individual, as this has been going on for far to long for it to be a coincidence.

Our thanks go out to Sandra Clarke, whom we have seen on so many occasions picking up litter along Byangum Road.

Erosion is caused by humans

I write regarding The Weekly’s article regarding erosion at Cudgen Creek with Cr Kimberly Hone (TVW, June 18, page 8).

Before the houses were built in that area, it was lovely natural bush with many swamp wallabies, all of which are now gone.

Now it is people who cause the damage. Kids climbing banks, too much human traffic plus bikes.

The same for coastal erosion on the beach, people pulling themselves up by the roots of trees that are trying to hang on.

People taking short cuts and not using the temporary paths that have been established by some lovely locals.

Patricia Betts, Kingscliff

Please Tweed Shire Council do not Mystery reporting allow the famous Ted Bear Tree at boosted attendance Banora Point to be felled. That tree is super famous.

I’ve even seen it on national websites displaying iconic trees. Surely, you can work your new road works around it?

Do you think Paris city council would knock down the Arc de Triomphe because it was ‘in the way’ of a new roundabout.

For many locals, a mature fig tree is such as worthwhile preserving as human made heritage.

Dumping requires a strong response

I am writing as a local resident about the ongoing litter and illegal dumping around the M1 on and off ramps in the Tweed (TVW, June 18, page 18).

The current approach is clearly

not working. The same rubbish and dumped waste continue to reappear because there are not enough meaningful consequences for those responsible.

Continually cleaning up after offenders without stronger enforcement simply sends the message that people can litter and dump waste with little risk of being caught or penalised.

Stronger enforcement measures are needed, including increased monitoring, more fines being issued, and greater visibility of enforcement activity.

Until there are clear deterrents and real consequences, this behaviour will continue.

Beyond the environmental impact, this reflects poorly on our community and contributes to a growing sense that standards are slipping.

I am asking Council and Transport for NSW to work together on a practical 90-day hotspot enforcement trial for the worst affected M1 ramps and surrounding roadsides.

I am requesting that the trial include: 1. A full clean-up of identified hotspot ramps, followed by before and after photos.

2. Temporary surveillance or licence plate cameras at repeat dumping spots, where lawful and suitable.

3. Prominent and highly visible signage advising that littering and illegal dumping offences can result in substantial fines, along with clear information on how members of the public can report offenders.

4. Physical deterrents where needed, such as fencing, bollards, vegetation management or barriers to stop dumping access.

5. A simple public monthly update showing areas cleaned, rubbish collected, reports made, fines issued and next steps.

6. A clear responsibility map showing which areas are managed by Council and which are managed by Transport for NSW.

Council already uses surveillance and enforcement for illegal dumping in some areas, so I am asking that this approach be expanded to the M1 ramp hotspots in partnership with Transport for NSW and the NSW EPA. If fines are being issued and enforcement action is being taken, the community should be made aware of it.

To cull sharks or risk more lives?

A sign of decadence is the inability to make good and wise decisions.

Our leaders can’t even make a decision to protect swimmers from ravenous sharks as revealed recently at Coogee where a young mother suffered terrible injuries.

That is only one example. In fact, our nation has a lack of good-andwise decision makers, in my view, who cannot do what we pay them to do which is protect our community in the raft of ways we have employed them to do so.

We become alarmed, not only with shark attacks resulting in deaths, but the higher level of requirements that call for wise leadership.

We could validly ask: what do we need to do as a community to make sure the leaderships in our bureaucracies formulate the decisions that would make us safe?

Very soon there won’t be lifesavers standing watch as we move into the winter season.

What happens when the water is relatively warm? Will swimmers still enter the water as the beaches remain a risk?

Part two: The Inland Villages There are many gems in the nearby villages: the nursery/cafe at Crystal

Creek with its views of turtles in the clear waters of the creek, the monthly markets at Chillingham and the performances of the Chillingham Voices Choir that rehearses each Thursday night at the Community Centre.

The Tyalgum Music Festival is held in the Community Hall each September. Later in the year there Ballroom Dancing Spectacular held in the hall

by Hearts Aflame.

This group also sponsors the annual Shakespearean performances at the popular Flutterbies Cafe and concerts by the Heart Collectors Group and other artists at the cafe and Garden of Light are always a delight.

There are regular art exhibits at the Art Post of Uki, as well as activities of the Uki Refugee Committee and stunning music performances in the iconic Anglican Church.

Stokers Siding, Burringbar, Moobal and Tumbulgum all have unique attractions.

The riverside village of Tumbulgum has a very popular tavern and an active community association that has helped locals in times of flood.

The villages of the Tweed have much to offer and they would welcome support other parts of the shire.

Finally there is Mount Warning.

We look forward to the re-opening of the park and hope that the illegal actions of Save or Summits supporters don’t cause authorities to delay the re-opening.

It would be a delight to see the Rainforest Cafe to re-open and for Mavis’s Kitchen to provide meals for the general public once more.

Cudgen Plateau development

96290 Chinderah Tavern HP

A STATE planning panel has heard impassioned arguments for and against the proposed $300 million Cudgen Connection development, with critics warning the project could open the door to further loss of protected farmland on the Cudgen Plateau.

A number of speakers, including Mayor Chris Cherry, spoke on the public videoconference on Friday, June 19, with the panel expected to make its recommendation this week.

The developers are seeking to have the 5.7-hectare site at 741 Cudgen Road, next to the Tweed Valley Hospital, rezoned to construct a private hospital, university campus, mental health hospital, worker housing, childcare and retail to support essential workers, a bus interchange, a community hub, medical suites, a private medi-hotel and a research facility.

Tweed Shire Council has resolved not to support the planning proposal, saying it is inconsistent with every Tweed Shire strategic planning document.

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) had previously published two detailed reports outlining issues with the proposal, however local representatives called a DPIRD report, sent out on June 2, “a very, very concerning” backflip.

The mayor said it was “difficult to explain” the DPIRD’s “backflip” in the latest report, and pointed to the lack of detail in the proposal and failure to address many issues.

“We currently have a $723 million hospital that is only operating at limited capacity due to the inability to get staff,” she said.

“Having a competing health facility next door, generating employment for 1,040 but housing for around 350 is going to exacerbate this issue and may further impact on the viability of our publicly funded hospital.”

Cr Cherry said it “isn’t just 5.7 hectares”.

“Tweed Shire has 130,000ha of land, yet we have only 500ha of State Significant Farmland (SSF), 0.38 per cent of our shire,” she told the panel.

“We can’t afford to lose any more.”

If there is less than 500ha SSF, the Cudgen Plateau will lose all SSF zoning, opening the way to development.

“Decades of strategic planning has protected these lands and they are recognised as being the highest and rarest land class in the Tweed Shire.”

The mayor pointed out a number of misrepresentations in the report, including claims it is consistent with local strategic planning.

Cr Cherry said the report failed to consider long-held community concerns about “the precedent this parcel may create in eroding the protection of surrounding important farmland.”

Speaking on behalf of the Tweed Communities Alliance, Julie Boyd, said the group supported Council’s refusal of the proposal, arguing it conflicted with longterm strategic planning.

She said the site was rare SSF vital to regional food security.

“We cannot eat buildings,” she said.

Ms Boyd described the development as inappropriate and unnecessary, citing community concerns about the nearby hospital location.

She also raised concerns about worsening traffic congestion affecting emergency vehicle access, potential environmental and flood impacts on Kingscliff and Chin-

derah, and a lack of detail in the proposal, with key information deferred to future development applications.

President of the Kingscliff Ratepayers and Progress Association (KRPA), Peter Newton, said community associations “challenged the 11th hour change of heart on the viability of the proposed site as protected State Significant Farmland.”

“Our communities really need our state and federal elected representatives to stand with us in lobbying the NSW Planning Minister to honour the long standing commitments to the Tweed community that no more protected SSF would be lost following the construction of the Tweed Valley Hospital,” Mr Newton said.

He said that given the many promises and guarantees, approval of the rezoning would be “the ultimate betrayal of community trust” by the state government.

“There is no masterplan for this speculative proposal, no confirmed partnerships for the hospital and education facilities and so many outstanding issues raised by the community, NSW government agencies and Council to be simply flicked to and addressed at the DA stage post a rezoning,” Mr Newton said.

Wrong Ted Bear featured last week could be shifted and the tree retained.

Mr Fraser later erected a sign reading, “The Ted Bear Tree saved from Council bulldozers 1975”.

Although the sign disappeared after a few weeks, Tweed Shire Council eventually replaced it with its own sign.

Mr Fraser also recalled that Ted and Joan “Bun” Bear shared a passion for preserving trees and that Ted rescued a palm tree from the beer garden of the Surfers Paradise Hotel while it was undergoing renovations.

It was rumoured the palm had originally been planted by General Douglas MacArthur.

The tree was transplanted to a property at Bungalora, where it still stands today.

Community advocate Mark Baxter has also been informed there were in fact two Ted Bears living in the district during the same era and wanted to extend his apologies to the family.

“I have learnt today that the Ted Bear that served on Club Banora bowls committee is not the same Ted Bear that donated his land to council,” Mr Baxter said.

“I wish to apologise to the family and your great weekly publication.

“Two Ted Bears in the same zone and the same era.”

Meanwhile, councillors carried a unanimous vote to investigate alternative options to save the giant fig during their monthly meeting last week, and the tree remains safe for now pending further investigation.

Mr Baxter said he believed the community campaign and widespread in-

By Jonathon Howard

A CASE of mistaken identity involving two men with the same name has prompted a correction to the record surrounding the iconic giant fig tree on Fraser Drive at Banora Point (TVW, June 18, front page and page 3).

The Weekly reported on the community campaign and a motion before Tweed Shire councillors last week to save the tree, identifying Ted Bear as being involved with the land donated to allow for Fraser Drive and spare the giant fig.

However, Ted Bear’s granddaughter, Zarni Bear, contacted the newspaper to clarify that while her grandfather Edward J “Ted” Bear and his wife Joan “Bun” Bear played a key role in preserving the tree, it was not the Ted Bear featured in the article and supplied to The Weekly.

In fact, it was the couple pictured this week who had purchased the property and later ensured the giant fig was protected.

The photograph published was that of another prominent Ted Bear from the same time.

“I’m sharing this in the hopes of correcting the record and the family understand this was a simple mistake with no harm intended,” Ms Bear told The Weekly, who now lives interstate.

“My family and I appreciate your effort to clarify the story.”

The family said Ted and Joan Bear (pictured) recognised the significance of the tree in the 1970s and donated or exchanged land to ensure it could

Ted and Bun Bear donated the land that help spare the giant fig tree

be preserved.

“The family would love to have that generosity preserved for future generations to enjoy,” the family said in a joint statement.

“It’s a local landmark and part of their legacy to the community.”

Long-time neighbour Ian Fraser, whose family has lived on Fraser Drive since the 1880s, also provided details of the tree’s history.

According to Mr Fraser, Edward J “Ted” Bear and his wife Joan “Bun” Bear purchased the property now known as Tweed Heights around 1969 and grew gladioli there.

When Fraser Drive was being upgraded in 1975, the road alignment would have required the removal of the fig tree.

Mr Fraser said Mr Bear intervened and agreed to sacrifice a portion of valuable farmland so the road reserve

“councillors carried a majority vote to investigate alternative options to save the giant fig” terest had helped secure the decision to save the tree.

“That might not have been the outcome without your coverage and input. So thank you so much,” he said.

While some details of the original land transaction remain to be confirmed through council records, the

family says one thing is certain: Edward J “Ted” Bear and his wife Joan ensured the giant fig tree survived for future generations.

Thanks to the efforts of the community and the clarification provided by the Bear family and Mr Fraser, the true story behind one of Banora Point’s most treasured landmarks has come to the surface.

YOUR THOUGHTS: If you have more information, The Weekly would love to hear from you via email: editor@thewweekly.net.au

Motion spares tree for now THE ICONIC Ted Bear Tree has won a reprieve after Tweed Shire councillors voted against endorsing its removal as part of plans for the Broadwater Parkway intersection.

At last week’s meeting, Thursday, June 18, councillors noted some road options would require the removal of the giant fig on Fraser Drive, which was first saved by the community in 1975.

An amendment moved by Mayor Chris Cherry and Cr Nola Firth was eventually carried four votes to three, with council declaring it does not support removing the tree and making its retention in a healthy condition a key objective of the project.

Council also requested further modelling of intersection and

roundabout options to avoid significant impacts on the tree and nearby homes.

An independent arborist recommended by Treenet Australia will be engaged to provide a valuation and advice on managing the tree into the future.

The Ted Bear Tree, which has the highest possible AA1 retention value under the TreeAZ system, is more than four metres in diameter and is estimated to be worth more than $500,000.

The amendment was carried 4-3, with Mayor Chris Cherry, Deputy Mayor Reece Byrnes, Cr Meredith Dennis and Cr Nola Firth voting in favour. Cr Rhiannon Brinsmead, Cr Kimberly Hone and Cr James Owen voted against.

All aboard for 175 new Tweed bus services

By Jonathon Howard

BUS SERVICES across the Tweed will soon become more frequent and better connected, with 175 additional weekly services set to hit the road from Monday, June 29, in one of the biggest public transport upgrades the shire has seen in years.

The service boost, funded through the Minns Government’s $150 million Bus Service Uplift Program, represents an 11 per cent increase in services and includes major changes aimed at supporting the region’s rapid growth, improving access to Tweed Valley Hospital and strengthening links across the border.

Among the biggest winners will be Murwillumbah commuters, with Route 605 between Murwillumbah and Tweed Mall doubling in frequency from every two hours to every hour.

The route will receive an additional 111 weekly services and faster, more direct trips that are expected to cut travel times by up to six minutes.

For the first time, residents in the growing Kings Forest estate will have access to regular public transport through Route 601, which has been extended beyond Tweed Valley Hospital to Kings Forest.

Eight extra services a week, including evening runs to better match hospital shift changes, will also be added.

Route 603 between Pottsville and Tweed Mall will gain eight additional weekly services, with all buses extended to Tweed Mall and revised paths through Kingscliff.

“Among the biggest winners will be Murwillumbah commuters, with Route 605 doubling in frequency.”

Route 606 will receive 46 extra weekly services, providing better connections between Fingal Head, Banora Point, Tweed City and Tweed Mall.

Weekend and evening services will also be introduced on Route 609 between Murwillumbah and Kingscliff, improving access to Tweed Valley Hospital and extending all services to Pearl Street, Kingscliff.

Minor timetable adjustments will affect Route 600, while Bilambil Public School’s afternoon Route S168 service will depart five minutes later at 3.15pm.

Minister for Regional Transport Jenny Aitchison said the changes reflected the needs of a rapidly expanding region.

“This is fantastic news for Tweed and Murwillumbah and the benefits will ripple right across both communities,” she said.

“With families putting down roots, new neighbourhoods growing, and more visitors discovering what makes this region special, 175 extra bus services every week will make a real difference to everyday life.”

“The Minns Labor Government believes regional communities deserve the same investment and attention as anywhere else, and that means services built around how people actually live.

“This is about choice. Beach trip with a stop at the shops on the way home? That should be easy. Now it will be.”

North Coast Minister Janelle Saffin said the additional services had been shaped by community feedback.

“We have listened and are delivering the reliable, frequent and connected bus services our North Coast communities want, need and deserve,” she said.

“By doubling services on critical longer-distance routes like Route 605 and unlocking regular public transport for Kings Forest, we are providing more seats and creating more connections across our communities.

“Whether it’s healthcare workers getting to shift changes to help serve our community or locals accessing those essential services and shops, we are making sure our transport network grows as we grow.”

175 additional weekly services are set to start on Monday June 29

Labor spokesperson for Tweed Emily Suvaal said the extra services would make a real difference for families and workers.

“For a lot of families and workers here, the bus isn’t a backup option – it’s how they get to work, reach their GP, drop the kids to school and get home at the end of the day,” she said.

“This is about making everyday

life on the North Coast even better, and ensuring the buses actually work around the way people here live.”

The service expansion is expected to create seven additional bus driver positions while helping ensure the region’s public transport network keeps pace with continued population growth.

Cudgen Connection decision Mongrels walk tall

By Jo Kennett

Continued from page 5.

“It is not unreasonable to suggest that if these significant matters can’t be resolved, the land owner will see a rezoning windfall and the community will only see the further loss of our protected SSF. “The changes sought to the LEP to allow this proposal to proceed, will see unconscionable Gold Coast style tower developments of up to 38 metres on the Cudgen Plateau.”

Cudgen Connection director Allan Larkin has responded to concerns raised following last week’s Northern Rivers Planning Panel public meeting, saying the proposal has undergone extensive scrutiny and addresses the key issues raised by opponents.

Mr Larkin rejected claims the site should remain protected farmland, saying numerous professional assessments, including a review by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), had found the parcel was unsuitable for productive agriculture. He said the land had not been farmed for decades, was effectively isolated on a “traffic island” and was not contiguous with other strategic farmland.

He also defended the department’s findings, questioning criticism directed at DPIRD and noting the agency had reached its conclusions after considering detailed agricultural land and capacity assessments. “They have made a professional decision, whereas I question whether the mayor has the appropriate qualifications to overrule that decision,” Mr Larkin said.

Addressing concerns about State Significant Farmland, Mr Larkin said suggestions the proposal could trigger a loss of protections across the region were incorrect. He said the 500-hectare threshold would not affect the classification and dismissed fears of a “domino effect”, arguing the circumstances of the site were unique.

An initial masterplan for the site

Mr Larkin also disputed claims that the Tweed Valley Hospital’s staffing difficulties would be worsened by the proposal. He said the biggest barriers to attracting workers were a lack of affordable housing and the absence of local tertiary health education facilities.

“The Cudgen Connection proposal is for a health, education and essential worker accommodation precinct,” he said.

Mr Larkin said the Tweed urgently needed accommodation for nurses and other frontline staff, along with facilities to train future health professionals locally. “What the Tweed does not need are more tax-deductible hobby farms that are not productive,” he said.

THIRTY-FIVE MEMBERS of the Kingscliff branch of Mongrel Men, laced up their walking shoes on Friday, June 19, to raise awareness of physical and mental wellbeing during Men’s Health Week.

Known simply as “The Mongrels”, the Kingscliff group meets every Tuesday and Thursday morning at Salt SLSC, where members enjoy a walk in nature followed by a free coffee and plenty of conversation.

Member Steve Trotter said the social group, which caters for men aged between 55 and 87, provides friendship and support while encouraging blokes to stay physically active.

Mr Trotter said loneliness and poor mental health remain significant issues for Australian men, with one in four experiencing a mental health condition during their lifetime and many failing to seek help.

“Nine people commit suicide every day; seven

of them are men,” he said.

“The motto of the Mongrels is, ‘It’s time to turn this around’.

“The aim of the Mongrels is to support men’s health and wellbeing, because when it comes to blokes and our mental health, we are too often our worst enemy.”

Founded in Sydney in 2008, Mongrel Men has grown into a nationally recognised registered charity with branches stretching from Bondi to Canberra and Perth.

The group walked the cycleway from Salt Surf Life Saving Club to Cudgen Surf Life Saving Club, highlighting the importance of staying active, connected and looking out for one another.

The group welcomes men looking to improve their fitness, expand their social circle or simply enjoy the company of others.

Those interested in joining can contact Neil on 0414 573 588, Noel on 0411 746 537, email mmkingscliff@gmail.com or visit the Mongrel Men website for more information.

Thirty-five men aged between 55 and 87 took part in the walk to promote physical and mental wellbeing and highlight the importance of friendship, staying active and looking out for one another

96320 Murwillumbah Primary HP

Murwillumbah Public School Shines at Festival of Performing Arts Students from Murwillumbah Public School proudly showcased their talent and teamwork at this year’s Festival of Performing Arts. They achieved outstanding results in the Verse Speaking Set Poem section.

Representing Kindergarten, Stage 1 and Stage 2, each group performed with enthusiasm and confidence, reciting their poems in unison while incorporating precise gestures to enhance meaning and engage the audience. Students used expression, effective pausing and clear articulation, bringing their poems to life on stage.

Their hard work was rewarded with excellent results. Stage 1 was awarded First Place, while both Kindergarten and Stage 2 received Second Place in their respective divisions. All groups achieved exceptionally high

scores, reflecting the quality of their performances.

These achievements are a testament to the dedication of both students and staff, who spent many weeks rehearsing and refining their performances. The result was a series of polished, entertaining and memorable presentations that impressed adjudicators and audience members alike.

Murwillumbah Public School is proud to provide students with a wide range of opportunities beyond the classroom, encouraging them to develop confidence, creativity and teamwork through the performing arts.

Mixed views over E-bike crush

By Jonathon Howard

RESIDENTS HAVE reacted with a mix of praise and criticism after Tweed Police announced they have destroyed 35 seized e-bikes in past 10 months.

Some residents applauding the police work and crackdown while others questioned whether the bikes could have been repurposed rather than crushed.

Many online posts welcomed the move, saying it was “about time” authorities restored order and calling for greater enforcement against dangerous riding and illegal e-bikes, some saying the result was meager or the “tip of the iceberg”.

Others commented to thank Tweed and Byron police for their efforts and said the destruction of illegally-used e-bikes would improve safety for pedestrians and motorists.

“Keep up the good work. Thank you for your service,” one comment read.

However, not everyone agreed with some describing the destruction as wasteful and suggesting the e-bikes could have been auctioned for parts, donated to charity or recycled.

The debate followed confirmation from Tweed/ Byron Police District that the 35 e-bikes, seized during Operations Cyclesafe and E-Voltage over the past 10 months, had been destroyed after

forfeiture orders were granted by the courts.

It’s worth adding, local police said a further 23 forfeiture applications remain before the courts.

On Thursday, May 21, batteries were removed from the bikes before officers attended a waste facility where the e-bikes were destroyed.

Tweed/Byron Police District Inspector Matthew Woods said police had engaged with hundreds of e-bike riders during the operations and warned enforcement would continue.

“Operations will continue to be undertaken by both uniformed and plain-clothes police targeting the illegal use of e-bikes,” Insp Woods said.

“The community is frustrated by the anti-social behaviour of a minority, and they continue to report incidents to police.

“All information and intelligence received from the community is acted upon and greatly appreciated. This information has contributed to the seizure and destruction of these e-bikes.

“The message is simple and clear: ride safely and in accordance with legislative guidelines, or risk losing your bike.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: Would you like to see more illegal e-bikes impounded and crushed?

Or do you feel this is wasteful? The Weekly is interested in your thoughts and letters via email: editor@theweekly.net.au

MEMBER FOR Richmond Justine Elliot has announced that the Albanese Labor Government is investing a further $3.6 billion over the next two years to lock in the historic 15 per cent pay rise for early childhood educators.

This investment will be tied to a commitment from Child Care Centres to limit fee increases to make sure workers can be fairly paid without the costs being passed on to families.

“When we invest in early education and when we invest in our early educators, we are investing in our children’s future.

“Every day on the North Coast early childhood educators do the important job of helping children learn, grow and get ready for school and we are locking in fairer pay for their work.

“When combined with our support for mini-

mum wage rises, this will mean $255 more per week for a typical full-time educator and $410 more per week for early childhood teachers, since the December 2024 pay rise.

“The Albanese Labor Government’s pay rise has worked to bolster our early educator workforce and keep costs down for North Coast families by limiting fee increases at childcare centres.

“Since we announced the pay rise, there are around 20,000 more Early Education and Care Workers, an 8 per cent increase and job vacancies have fallen 31 per cent.

“We’ve also introduced the 3 Day Guarantee to make sure every child who needs it is eligible for three days of subsidised early learning each week.

“This is a win for workers, a win for families and will help ease cost of living pressures on the North Coast,” Justine said.

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

Answer: True. In NSW, local councils are not the main authority for emergencies. Lead agencies such as the NSW SES and NSW Rural Fire Service are responsible for managing emergencies like floods, storms, bushfires and cyclones. However, Council works closely with these agencies to support emergency preparedness, response and recovery for the community.

Council also provides residents with local emergency information, preparedness resources and volunteer opportunities through the Emergency Dashboard at emergency.tweed.nsw.gov.au Read next week's edition for a new question.

Where a building once stood between the town and the water, Budd Park now opens straight onto the river.

Facing the river, not turning away from it A new 7-part Tweed Shire Council series tells the story of the region’s recovery, one chapter at a time, through the people who lived it.

Stand on the lawn at Budd Park today and you will see children riding bikes, families at the barbecues and people gathering by the water. Four years ago, you could not have stood here at all. The building between the town and the river was wrecked by the 2022 flood and has since been removed to make way for open parkland.

At the peak of that flood, Murwillumbah could be reached only by boat. Residents who needed dialysis were taken to hospital by water, and hinterland villages were cut off for days. The recovery that followed, across nearly 5,000 damaged sites and 3 flood events, has become the largest infrastructure undertaking the region has seen in a generation.

That riverbank is where Facing the River begins. Over 7 weeks, from 19 June to 28 July, Council is telling the story of the recovery from the 2022 floods, the flooding in 2024 and ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred in 2025. Each week is a chapter, told through the people who lived it, built it and still live in it.

“Tweed is really synonymous with the Northern Rivers, and the river is the thing, when it’s not flooding, that we all love and enjoy about the community,” General Manager Troy Green said.

“Facing the river has been about being able to recelebrate what it means to live with and enjoy the Tweed River and all of the streams and estuaries that make our community what it is.”

The recovery was never Council’s alone.

“We all jumped in quickly because we knew businesses would suffer, and not just the businesses, but their staff,” said Phillip Hepburn, Treasurer of Business Murwillumbah and owner of riverside restaurant Tweed River House.

“We worked closely with Council and government agencies to restore services and support the clean up.”

For Tiffany Stodart, Council’s Manager Destination Communication and Customer Experience, the meaning is in the recovery.

“Seeing residents and businesses bounce back, and the resilience the community has shown, has been incredibly powerful,” she said.

“Being able to revitalise these spaces and bring

back pride in the town creates a place for people to connect.”

There has been healing, too. On the first anniversary of the 2022 flood, the community gathered on the riverbank and placed flowers into the water, a quiet moment to acknowledge the river and make peace with it.

This week’s chapter, Civic Heart, is the Budd Park riverfront itself, now the launch point for the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. In the weeks that follow, the series visits the sporting fields rebuilt smarter, the community halls at the heart of rural villages, the roads and bridges that hold a region together, the neighbourhood parks restored from coast to hinterland, the riverbanks where nature is being used as a flood barrier, and finally Industry Central, where a land swap is moving businesses and Council’s depot onto higher ground.

That is the idea behind Facing the River: a story about people, and a community learning to face the river rather than turn away from it.

Upgrades across Tweed cemeteries Saying goodbye to someone you love is hard enough without struggling to find your way to them. Across Tweed Shire, a series of upgrades is making cemetery spaces gentler to move through and easier to plan for.

New, easy-to-read maps have been installed at Murwillumbah Lawn Cemetery and Tweed Valley Cemetery, so visitors can get their bearings quickly and spend more time where it matters most.

The improvements go well beyond signage. For families thinking ahead, both sites now offer a choice of vacant ash interment locations, from quiet undercover gazebo settings to peaceful spaces along the Rainforest Walk.

Facilities have been updated too. The chapel is a calm space with lake views, and live streaming is included in the hire, so loved ones who cannot be there in person can still share in the farewell. The crematorium has recently been serviced and now has a newly fitted viewing room. And when the weather is kind, families can hold a service outdoors by the lake,

where a tree stump near the water can be used to rest the coffin in a natural setting.

Cemeteries Business Coordinator Greg Puch said the focus is always on care, and on making a difficult time a little easier.

"These are places people come to remember, reflect and connect," Mr Puch said.

"Simple things like being able to get around easily, having clear choices, and knowing the facilities are there when you need them can make a real difference.

"Our goal is to make sure every part of the experience is respectful and as straightforward as possible for families."

Across the Shire, these are spaces cared for with the long term in mind, so they remain a comfort and a place of quiet for the community for years to come.

If you would like to talk through what is available, Council's cemeteries team is there to help, at a pace that suits you.

Learn more at tweed.nsw.gov.au/cemeteries, or by contacting Council's cemeteries team.

Easier to find, easier to plan: upgrades across Tweed cemeteries.

Tweed Shire Council wishes to acknowledge the Ngandowal and Minyungbal speaking people of the Bundjalung Country, in particular the Goodjinburra, Tul-gi-gin and Moorung – Moobah clans, as being the traditional owners and custodians of the land and waters within the Tweed Shire boundaries. Council also acknowledges and respects the Tweed Aboriginal community’s right to speak for its Country and to care for its traditional Country in accordance with its lore, customs and traditions.

Fairy lights in Tweed Heads CBD

Bronwyn Bancroft, Baabinje’s Backyard, 2025, acrylic on paper, 75 × 110 cm. Collection of the artist. © Bronwyn Bancroft.

Baabinje’s Backyard blooms at Tweed Regional Gallery Baabinje’s Backyard has come to life at Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre, offering a vibrant and deeply personal celebration of family, Country and storytelling.

The exhibition showcases original artworks from the children’s picture book Baabinje’s Backyard. The book is illustrated by acclaimed Bundjalung artist Dr Bronwyn Bancroft AM and written by her daughter, Ella Noah Bancroft.

Painted in acrylic on paper and alive with colour and pattern, the works offer a tender reflection on intergenerational knowledge, centred on a grandmother’s love for her garden, her family and her connection to Country.

“My Baabinje always had dirt under her fingernails,” the book begins.

“She would take me out to the backyard and say, ‘Sit, Marli. Observe and connect with the day.’”

That quiet instruction, to sit and pay attention, runs through every painting in the exhibition.

The exhibition marks a significant milestone in Dr Bancroft’s extraordinary career, coinciding with the release of her 50th children’s book. A pioneering figure in Aboriginal and Australian children’s literature, she has been publishing since 1992, when very few Aboriginal writers and illustrators were working in the field.

Baabinje’s Backyard invites audiences of all ages to engage with storytelling rooted in care, observation

and connection, offering a visually rich and culturally meaningful experience for families, educators and the broader community.

The exhibition is on display from 12 June to 25 October 2026 and entry is free.

Get involved A series of free, family-friendly programs will run alongside the exhibition.

There is a new glow in the heart of Tweed Heads after dark. Strings of decorative fairy lights have switched on along Bay and Wharf streets, turning a familiar corner of the CBD into something a little brighter and a lot more inviting.

The lights are the first thing people will notice in a much bigger plan to refresh the precinct. They are the opening step in a $1.9 million program to make the CBD safer, more vibrant and more welcoming for everyone who lives, works and spends time there.

The program is jointly funded by the NSW Government's Regional Development Trust, which has put in $1.5 million, and Tweed Shire Council, which has contributed $400,000. The work will continue through to 2028.

The lights came directly from what the community asked for: a streetscape that feels attractive and alive.

By brightening public spaces, Council hopes to lift safety, draw more people in to explore and give local businesses a reason to stay open later.

And there is plenty more to come. The next stages will bring further lighting, fresh footpath treatments, renewed street furniture and greener plantings. New murals, banners, signage and cultural storytelling will add colour and character, telling the story of this place as people move through it.

Council will also breathe new life into the former Visitor Information Centre on the corner of Wharf and Bay streets. The vacant site will be offered to a commercial operator, with fit-out incentives on the table, to bring daytime, evening and night time activity back to this key corner.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals Right: NNSWLHD Acting Chief Executive Wendy Hoey with GM Graham Guy and Emily Suvaal MLC

Hospital parking relief PATIENTS, VISITORS and staff accessing Tweed Valley Hospital (TVH) now have more parking options, following the recent completion of more than 125 new car parking spaces on the hospital campus.

New signage, line marking, and enhanced parking management systems have also been delivered as part of the project, with another 103 car parks expected to be delivered by the end of July.

The new parking spaces are located to the south of the multi-level car park and along the ring road on the northern boundary of the hospital campus.

TVH General Manager Graham Guy said the hospital had been a victim of its own success, “bringing more services on-site sooner than expected”, which had increased demand for parking and led to complaints. Staff say it is much easier to find a park now.

The $723.3 million TVH opened to patients in May 2024 and has transformed the delivery of healthcare in the region.

Since opening, the new hospital has expanded its health services, including interventional cardiology and radiotherapy. Outpatient services have also more than doubled in capacity, allowing residents to access services locally

without needing to travel outside the region.

The additional parking was delivered by the Northern NSW Local Health District, in partnership with Health Infrastructure.

“Tweed Valley Hospital is a very busy health facility, with hundreds of staff delivering high-quality healthcare every day to the communities of the growing Tweed-Byron region,” Minister for Regional Health Ryan Park said.

“These works have boosted parking capacity on site, improving access to the hospital and vital health services for the local community.

“This additional free parking will ensure a better experience for patients, their families and carers and of course our wonderful staff, when they attend the hospital campus.”

Labor spokesperson for Tweed Emily Suvaal met with the general manager last week to inspect the completed works.

She said the additional parking was already making a difference for the community, with people visiting the hospital campus each day finding it easier to park.

“Improved access to the hospital means less stress for our staff and reduced anxiety for our patients and their visitors,” Ms Suvaal said.

“I’d like to thank all the project team who delivered this project, as well as our staff and volunteers at Tweed Valley Hospital, and the local community for their feedback.”

Keith Annandale at his 100th with Member for Tweed Geoff Provest during a visit

Village manager Andrea Wood described Mr Annandale as an incredible gentleman and an integral part of the Winders community.

“He still contributes a lot to the village and is loved by all,” she said.

“I think his positive outlook and strong friendships are indeed the secrets to his long life. He’s also a great dancer and close friend of George and Debbie Harvey.

“And he doesn’t have to chase the ladies anymore – they chase him.”

Mr Annandale has also been a driving force behind the village’s popular monthly social barbecue, helping bring residents together and proving that turning 100 is no reason to slow down.

THERE WAS plenty to celebrate at Bolton Clarke Winders Retirement Village last week as resident legend Keith Annandale marked his 100th birthday surrounded by good friends and good times.

Born in Brisbane in 1926, Mr Annandale has lived a full and active life, serving in the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II, before running his own greeting card business for many years.

Stationed in Townsville during the war, he trained as an equipment assistant and fondly recalls undertaking training exercises.

Mr Annandale retired at 68 and settled at Palm Beach before moving to Winders, where he remains an active and much-loved member of the community.

His advice for a long and happy life is simple.

“You see people giving up on life in their late 60s, when in fact that’s the time to start your life in retirement and get up and be social and be active,” he said.

Mr Annandale credits his close friendships with people such as George and Debbie Harvey and maintaining a positive outlook as his keys to reaching the milestone.

“I’ve made the usual mistakes in life, and I’ve learnt from them, that’s another secret,” he said.

A social drinker, Mr Annandale took up smoking at the young age of 13 and gave up at 60 after a health scare.

He believes in living life is moderation and still enjoys a beer or red wine.

His message to younger generations is to “respect and listen to your elders – it’s worth it”.

“I think elders have the knowledge to help young people, but the control of children today is not what it should be,” he said.

Justice of the Peace honour

By Jonathon Howard

FIFTY YEARS of dedicated service to the community as a Justice of the Peace has earned Tweed Heads resident Margaret Mathers recognition from the NSW Attorney General.

Mrs Mathers, a resident of Darlington Retirement Village, will receive a special certificate marking the milestone, with Member for Tweed Geoff Provest set to present the honour on July 6.

“Volunteering in any area is satisfying and I would encourage peope to consider ways you can help others.”

Mrs Mathers first became a Justice of the Peace in 1975 while working for a heavy industrial business in Granville, Sydney.

“Because of the nature of the business involving a lot of heavy lifting, our employees often had injuries requiring Workers Compensation claims which had to be witnessed by a JP,” she said.

“To save the workers time, my boss suggested that maybe I should look at becoming a JP – and so my journey began.”

Although she initially used the role mainly in the workplace, it was after retiring and moving to the Tweed that she became more actively involved.

“It is pretty daunting moving to a new area and not knowing many people,” she said.

“I was walking through Tweed City shopping centre when I noticed two men sitting at a desk with a sign saying ‘JP on duty’.

“I approached them, said I was a JP and that I had time to help if they wanted me to.”

That chance encounter led her to join the Tweed Valley Justices Association, where she volunteered on the community desk, later serving as secretary and then president. In 2022, she was awarded Life Membership.

“To be recognised by the State Attorney General for 50 years’ service as a Justice of the Peace is something I didn’t set out to aspire to, but I am proud to have given back to our community,” she said.

Mrs Mathers said volunteering had brought enormous satisfaction and encouraged others to consider giving back.

“Volunteering in any area is satisfying and I would encourage people to seriously consider looking at some ways that you can help others,” she said.

Reflecting on five decades of service, Mrs Mathers said becoming a JP had opened doors to lifelong friendships and countless opportunities to assist others.

“It has been a privilege to serve the community,” she said.

Hospital Auxilary to mark 100 years

By Jonathon Howard

95924 Tweed Coast Denture Studio 9x3

A CENTURY of community service will be celebrated next month when the United Hospital Auxiliaries of NSW Murwillumbah Branch marks 100 years of supporting Murwillumbah District Hospital and the wider community.

Members will gather for their annual general meeting and a special afternoon tea celebration at the River Room at Murwillumbah Services Club on Tuesday, July 28, marking a remarkable milestone for one of the district’s longest-serving volunteer organisations.

Formed in 1926, the Murwillumbah branch

predates the official establishment of the United Hospital Auxiliaries of NSW and has played a vital role in fundraising, purchasing equipment and improving comfort for patients over generations.

Secretary Jude Ahearn said the centenary was an opportunity to recognise the dedication of past and present members.

“To reach 100 years is something very special and a tribute to the many volunteers who have given their time and energy to support our hospital and the people of the district,” she said.

“Everything we raise stays local and goes back into helping patients, staff and visitors. We are

“To reach 100 years is a tribute to the many volunteers who have given their time and energy.” very proud of what generations of members have achieved.”

The auxiliary was established to advocate for improvements to the district hospital and campaigned strongly for the major brick extension opened in 1939. During World War II, volunteers stepped up to support the hospital during severe shortages of medical staff.

Long-time members say the spirit of service that inspired the branch a century ago remains just as strong today.

“Our members have always believed in helping others and giving something back to the community,” one member said.

“There have been many changes over the years, but the heart of the auxiliary has never changed.

We are proud to be carrying on a tradition that began 100 years ago.”

Another member described the milestone as a celebration of generations of local families.

“Many women before us worked tirelessly for the hospital and we stand on their shoulders,” she said.

“Reaching 100 years is a wonderful achievement and we hope the branch continues to serve the community for many years to come.”

Today, the branch comprises around a dozen dedicated members who continue to raise funds through raffles, craft sales and the volunteer-run hospital coffee shop established in 2008.

Their efforts have funded countless items of equipment and earned statewide recognition, including the prestigious Norman Nock Rosebowl in 2012.

Members and guests will gather at 2pm on July 28 to celebrate a century of caring for the Murwillumbah community.

FUNDING WHAT MATTERS

“As the end of the financial year approaches, many Australians turn their attention to tax returns and EOFY paperwork.

However, this time of year can also be a valuable opportunity to step back and review your overall financial position.

Whether it’s your superannuation, investments, retirement planning or broader financial arrangements, EOFY provides a natural point to assess what has changed over the past 12 months and whether your current strategies remain appropriate.

Financial planning is not just about reducing tax. It is about ensuring your finances continue to support the goals and lifestyle that are important to you. A regular review can help identify opportunities for improvement, address areas that may have been overlooked, and provide confidence that you remain on track.

With legislation, regulations and economic conditions continuing to evolve, it is important to ensure your financial strategies remain relevant and appropriate for your circumstances.

What was suitable a few years ago may not necessarily be the best approach today.

As we begin a new financial year, it is a good time to reflect on where you are today and whether your financial strategy continues to support where you want to be in the future.

If you would like to discuss your financial position, please contact the team at Funding What Matters on (02) 5631 1733.

We would be happy to assist.”

CANE HARVEST 2026

Thursday, June 25, 2026 Cane Harvest

Harvest begins with tribute

Local truck drivers Brad and Barry

The first cane load and crush signalled the harvest start

ry on what he started for the future.

“Phil also made everyone around him a little bit better versions of themselves. He leaves a strong team behind and will be greatly missed.”

Mr Baker, who began his own apprenticeship with Sunshine Sugar in 1996, said growers and mill staff had reason to be optimistic this year, with the crop yields expected to be around 25 per cent larger than last season.

“This is a step forward from last year and getting towards a crop size that makes the business more sustainable,” he said.

“We are excited about the season ahead and I want to mention our maintenance team for pulling it together over the last six months, giving us confidence in the mill performing reliably for the season.”

The harvest start across Sunshine Sugar's three mills was delayed by wet weather, with hopes now pinned on drier conditions.

“We appreciate the effort from our

Harvest estimate for this year is 440,000 tonnes cane growers and what they are doing for a healthy crop in 2026,” Mr Baker said.

Engineering Manager Ian Rose said significant investment had been made in the factory during the off-season as well as flood resilience with a robust wall that now encircles the Condong Mill.

“We have made a lot of factory improvements including a new computer operating system that's come from solid investment in the business,” he said.

Cane Supply Manager Johan Lamberchts said everyone was hoping for a much drier season than 2025.

“Last year was particularly wet and we hope for some dry conditions,” he said.

Mr Lamberchts said 17 new Scania

trucks have now joined the trucking fleet, and another 25 aluminium cane bins had replaced the last of the older steel bins.

“The new bins have about 20 per cent greater payload, so it's a big improvement,” he said.

Sunshine Sugar's focus on developing future talent was also evident, with second-year boilermaker apprentice Brody Tomlinson and second-year fitter and turner apprentice Finlay Dunlop set to represent the company at the World Skills Australia competition later this month.

“Love it here. Good crew and plenty of variety in the work,” Brody said.

Finlay agreed and recommended the career pathway to others.

“It’s a great group of people and every day is something different. I'd recommend it to others,” Finlay said.

SCT truck driver Brad Mortimer is marking his 19th year on the Tweed cane run and is excited about another season ahead.

When asked about the road conditions, Mr Mortimer said it was “okay out there” but he’d like to see a roundabout installed at Tweed Valley Way at Condong.

Meanwhile, fellow truck driver Barry Green, who has worked the Condong mill run for 12 years, summed up the season ahead simply: “Yeah, it’s all good.”

The Weekly would like to wish our cane growers, truck drivers and all the three mill teams a safe and prosperous 2026 crush.

THE 2026 cane crushing season got underway at Sunshine Sugar’s Condong Mill this week with staff paying tribute to their respected colleague, Phil Scroope, while looking ahead to one of the strongest crops in recent years.

Acting Head of Operations Aaron Baker met with The Weekly on Monday, June 22, to watch one of the first cane loads come in and signal the start of the harvest.

Mr Baker said this year was bittersweet following the sudden passing last month of longtime Sunshine Sugar employee Mr Phil Scroope.

“Phil was a stalwart of the sugar industry at Sunshine Sugar for 35 years and his loss leaves a massive hole in the team,” Mr Baker said.

Having worked under Mr Scroope for many years in production, Mr Baker said he learnt a great deal from his mentor.

“He will be deeply missed as we kick off the 2026 harvest,” he said.

“Phil built this team and we will car-

MEMORIES OF a bygone era in the Tweed’s cane fields were brought vividly back to life on Friday afternoon when locals gathered at Stamp and Grind Café opposite the Condong Sugar Mill for the official opening of the Cane Spirit exhibition.

The collection features photographs taken during the 1950s and 1960s by former cane grower John Partland Snr, capturing everyday life in the paddocks around Condong.

Most of the images were taken on property owned by the family of well-known former Tweed identity Harold Lundberg, John’s uncle.

The exhibition was curated by John’s son, Bruce Partland, himself a keen photographer, who entertained the crowd with stories of growing up in Condong and the many adventures that came with life among the cane fields.

The highlight of the afternoon came when John, now a sprightly 97 years old, shared several tales from his days in the industry.

Guests were captivated by his account of driving a praying mantis-like Toft cane loader from Bundaberg to Condong in 1959, crossing Brisbane’s

Story Bridge at 2am before managing to evade the attention of traffic police in Tweed Heads.

The enjoyable gathering was made possible with support from local businesses and organisations including Husk Brewery, Sunshine Sugar, Condong Bowling Club and the Tweed Canegrowers Association.

Copies of the historic photographs will be available for purchase over the coming weeks at the Condong Store and Stamp and Grind Café.

Condong Store lessee Jasen Pankhurst said he welcomed visitors to the exhibition and encouraged them to stay for coffee and one of the café’s popular Big Breakfasts.

“Not only would we love to see people come along and enjoy these incredible images, but we’d be happy to serve them a special Big Breakfast with their coffee while they’re here,” he said.

The exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the hard work, camaraderie and character that helped shape the Tweed’s cane-growing heritage, preserving the stories and spirit of a generation that built one of the region’s most important industries.

Every component of the milling process has been inspected, repaired or replaced to ensure readiness.

“The off-season maintenance program is a significant undertaking involving hundreds of employees and contractors,” Mr Viertel said.

“This investment provides the foundation for a safe and reliable crushing season and reflects the commitment of our people to supporting growers and delivering a successful harvest.”

The crushing season remains a major economic driver for the Northern Rivers, generating employment across agriculture, manufacturing, engineering, transport and regional services.

Sunshine Sugar directly employs more than 400 people and supports an estimated 1,500 indirect jobs across the region.

For Northern NSW communities, the season represents both economic activity and the continuation of an industry that has shaped the region for generations.

“At the heart of the industry are our cane-growing families, whose ongoing investment in farming supports regional manufacturing, local businesses and communities across Northern NSW,” Mr Viertel said.

CROP ESTIMATE for Sunshine Sugar’s Condong Mill is 440,000 tonnes, with additional cane expected from Rocky Point during the season.

The other Sunshine Sugar mills at Harwood and Broadwater are expected to crush a combined total of around 900,000 tonnes.

The 2026 sugarcane crushing season is underway, with Condong Mill receiving its first delivery of cane on Monday, June 22.

Despite ongoing wet weather, the crop has benefited from favourable summer growing conditions and is shaping up reasonably well as the season begins. While conditions will challenge growers, contractors, transport operators and milling teams, the industry is well prepared.

Sunshine Sugar Chief Executive Officer Adam Viertel said efficiency across the supply chain will be critical.

“The performance of every part of the supply chain is vital to a successful season,” he said.

“Once cane is harvested, it needs to keep moving. Delays can reduce sugar content and place additional pressure across the entire operation.

“Our growers, harvesting contractors, transport operators and mill employees all play an essential role in ensuring the crop is harvested and processed safely, efficiently and to the highest possible quality.”

In preparation, Sunshine Sugar completed an extensive off-season maintenance program across its three milling operations.

Teams at Condong, Broadwater and Harwood carried out mechanical, electrical and operational works, including servicing milling train equipment, maintaining boilers and turbines, testing conveyors, inspecting safety systems and completing infrastructure upgrades.

IT’S SUGAR cane harvest time again, and locals are being reminded to keep vehicles off cane pads which need to be used by farm machinery operators and trucks.

Parking on cane pads during the harvest puts cars and farm equipment at risk, with no room to turn around to unload cane or bins.

Many people park on cane pads such as the one near the M1 on Pottsville Road, because they car pool to work to places like Ballina and Byron Bay, not realising it is private property and the trouble it causes once harvest starts.

The cane trucks come onto the pad and turn around and put down and pick up bins and in-field tractor drivers come onto the pads to tip their cane, which is impossible if the pad is full of cars.

Local cane farmers are preparing for harvest now with some in the process of getting their cane pads tidy and ready to go, including slashing and they are having to reverse out of cane pads because they cannot turn around with all the cars there.

Farmers can’t lock cars out as some have suggested because farm machinery operators still need to access the property and they can’t afford to have them towed away.

“I feel like people just don’t understand parking on cane pads is more than just an inconvenience,” Lana Brown, whose grandfather owns a cane farm at Cudgen Creek, said.

“We’ve seen firsthand how frustrating and disruptive it can be.

“Yesterday morning, my brother and my partner had to spend hours slashing around parked

cars instead of being able to get on with the work that needed to be done.

“During harvest, blocked access can delay operations, make it difficult for trucks and machinery to get in and out, and create unnecessary safety risks.

“People need to respect not only private property and cane pads but they need to respect the hard working people behind the scenes that keep the beautiful tweed going so everyone can enjoy a cuppa tea or coffee with sugar.”

Costs take toll on mental health Ted Bear Tree

By Jonathon Howard

96120 Haymes Books HP

THE FACE of hardship in the Northern Rivers is changing, according to community advocate Theresa Mitchell, with working families, carers, older women and employed Tweed residents increasingly seeking help as the cost-of-living crisis deepens.

Ms Mitchell, founder of Agape Outreach Inc and a recently appointed practitioner at Brain Care in Tweed Heads, says more people are seeking support before reaching breaking point, with financial stress increasingly linked to mental health challenges.

“As poverty rises, sadly we can begin to see flow-on effects across the community, including increased stress, family conflict, domestic violence, mental health struggles and crime,” Ms Mitchell told The Weekly.

“Factors such as unresolved trauma, anxiety, ADHD, chronic stress, burnout and emotional dysregulation can make it harder for people to manage financial pressure and major life stressors.”

For more than 17 years, Ms Mitchell has worked on the frontline of community support through Agape Outreach, providing food relief, advocacy, case management and emotional support services to vulnerable residents across the region.

She said increasing numbers of working families, carers, older women and employed Australians are now seeking assistance.

“The people we are seeing are not always those traditionally associated with hardship,” she said.

“Many are working, caring for others and doing everything they can, but the ongoing pressure is becoming overwhelming.”

The growing need for early intervention has led Ms Mitchell to join Brain Care,

The Brain Care team are here to help

a Tweed Heads clinic that combines traditional psychology with advanced brainbased therapies.

“What makes Brain Care different is the holistic and brain-based approach,” she said. “There is a focus on understanding how stress impacts the nervous system and helping people develop healthier coping strategies earlier.”

Established in 1992, Brain Care has built a reputation for integrating counselling and psychotherapy with technologies such as quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) brain mapping and neurofeedback.

Under the direction of senior psychologist Nerida Saunders, the clinic provides support for people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, PTSD and chronic stress.

A key component of the clinic’s approach is qEEG brain mapping, which measures electrical activity in the brain to identify patterns linked to mental health conditions. These findings help clinicians develop tailored treatment plans based on individual neurological needs.

Brain Care also offers Infra-Low Frequency neurofeedback, a non-invasive therapy designed to help regulate the

nervous system and improve emotional stability, concentration and resilience.

Ms Mitchell said understanding how stress affects the brain is becoming increasingly important as communities face ongoing economic uncertainty.

“Sometimes getting support earlier can prevent much larger impacts later on,” she said.

“Seeking help should not be viewed as something people only do during a crisis.

Looking after mental wellbeing is just as important as looking after physical health.”

The collaboration between Brain Care and Agape Outreach aims to bridge the gap between clinical treatment and community support, providing both practical assistance and evidence-based mental health care.

“People need more than one type of support,” Ms Mitchell said. “When we combine community connection, compassion, practical help and professional mental health care, we create better outcomes for individuals and families.”

She said the shared goal of both organisations is to help people regain stability, build resilience and access support before life’s challenges become overwhelming.

NEW DETAILS and a rediscovered photograph have added another chapter to the story of Banora Point’s iconic Ted Bear Tree, with long-time resident Ian Fraser revealing the original commemorative sign still survives.

Mr Fraser recently located a photograph taken in Ted Bear’s home on June 12, 2013, showing Mr Bear and himself with the original “Ted Bear Tree” sign erected after the giant fig on Fraser Drive was saved from removal during roadworks in 1975.

Mr Fraser said he still has the original sign and is considering giving it a new lease on life.

“I might put it on the big fig tree in Oakland Parade,” he said.

“That tree was saved from Ian and Judy Fraser’s bulldozers in 1978 when leasing and cropping Ted’s property. That tree also is only still there due to Ted’s intervention.”

Further evidence supplied by local surveyors has reinforced the belief that the alignment of Fraser Drive was altered to preserve the giant fig.

“Survey plans show there is a small deviation in the alignment west of the tree to allow preservation of the tree,” Mr Fraser said.

“The Bears sacrificed a considerable amount of superior land on the eastern side of Fraser Drive, increasing the size of inferior land on the western side. They owned land on both sides of Fraser Drive.”

Mr Fraser also expanded on the story behind a palm tree at Bungalora rescued by Ted Bear from a Surfers Paradise hotel.

According to local accounts, the palm was one of six allegedly planted by General Douglas MacArthur outside the hotel, which served as his headquarters when occupied by the American Army during World War II. The latest revelations come amid renewed community interest in preserving the Ted Bear Tree, with Tweed Shire Council recently voting to investigate options to retain the giant fig as part of the Broadwater Parkway project.

New school in stages Continued from page 1.

The government says the acquisition fulfills a key election commitment to plan for a future high school while ensuring education infrastructure keeps pace with population growth.

Pottsville residents and organisations fought for years to have the site kept for the school, with thousands signing a petition to the government.

Council took up the fight on their behalf, after developers reneged on their initial proposal and tried to get the land rezoned for more housing.

Funding for the first stage of the project has been committed in the 2026-27 NSW Budget.

Rather than constructing the school immediately, the project will be delivered in stages based on future enrolment demand and development across the region.

Stage 1 will provide community-focused facilities including a sporting field capable of hosting rugby league, soccer and touch football, a skate park, a clubhouse with amenities, and 44 parking spaces. These facilities will be shared with the future school and made available for public use.

Construction is expected to commence in early 2027 and be completed by late 2027.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said the project goes further than the government’s original election promise.

“While the Minns Labor Government prom-

Transform your space

ised at the election to start planning for a new high school for Pottsville, this budget goes beyond that and secures land for its future,” Ms Car said.

“Securing this site now ensures we can provide valuable community open space now, while future-proofing public education in Tweed.”

Ms Car said the investment demonstrated the government’s commitment to planning ahead for regional growth.

Minister for the North Coast Janelle Saffin described the acquisition as an important investment in Pottsville’s future.

“Securing this site is an important investment in Pottsville’s future and ensures we’re planning ahead for the needs of a growing community,” Ms Saffin said.

She added that the project would provide immediate benefits while preserving land for future education needs, giving local families “confidence in the future of public education on the North Coast”.

Labor’s spokesperson for the Tweed, Emily Suvaal, said local families had long called for greater investment in community infrastructure.

“This outcome locks in a site for a high school for the future, while providing sporting and community facilities for families now,” Ms Suvaal said.

The project forms part of the NSW Government’s record $9.2 billion investment in school infrastructure over the next four years, including $2.3 billion earmarked for new and upgraded schools across regional NSW.

LAVA Arts at Limpinwood

By Jonathon Howard

ART LOVERS and the curious alike are invited to discover the creative world of printmaking when Community Printmakers Murwillumbah throws open the doors of its gallery and studio as part of this year’s LAVA Arts Festival.

The historic Limpinwood Valley Community Hall on Limpinwood Valley Road will host the group’s exhibition, Lines of Nature, during open days on Saturday, June 27, and Sunday, June 28, from 9.30am to 4pm.

Eight incredible local artists, Sue Chakos, Jenny New, Peter Schardin, Greg Mulheran, Kim Lee Clark, Bonny Shore, Emma Jewry and Phil Young, have produced a diverse collection of handmade fine art prints inspired by the natural world.

Visitors will have the opportunity to see how etchings, woodcuts and linocuts are created, with demonstrations showcasing a range of traditional printmaking techniques.

Established in 1989, Community Printmakers Murwillumbah Inc is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the art of fine printmaking and encouraging members to explore the medium’s enormous diversity.

The exhibition reflects each artist’s individual connection to nature.

Bushwalker and birdwatcher Sue Chakos draws inspiration from the region’s rich environment, while Greg Mulheran focuses on patterns and the way elements of nature intertwine.

Phil Young’s work is influenced by the landscape surrounding him, while Bonny Shore’s etchings and monoprints explore land, seascapes and imagined worlds filled with hope.

Jenny New celebrates the beauty found in fungi, plants and small creatures encountered in everyday life, while Peter Schardin presents thoughtful interpretations of the environment through the lens of his own beliefs and observations.

Emma Jewry says nature is a constant source

of inspiration, and Kim Lee Clark’s work spans themes ranging from flying foxes and oysters to doves representing asylum seekers, highlighting the relationship between the natural world and broader social issues.

Located midway between Limpinwood and Tyalgum, the gallery overlooks the spectacular Border Ranges and offers visitors the chance to enjoy a scenic drive while discovering a unique artistic community.

A selection of giveaways will be available and visitors can also enter a raffle to win a handcrafted woodcut.

Organisers say the weekend is an opportunity for everyone, whether seasoned art enthusiasts or first-time visitors, to see how fine art prints are made and perhaps be inspired to create their own.

TAKE A bow Zane Harrison, the young man has arrived.

What a quality performance from the player who has been touted a future superstar.

Against the heavyweights of Penrith (albeit down a few) Harrison was sublime setting up three tries and kicking the winning field goal under all sorts of pressure.

It was a great day for the Titans/Chargers in the retro kit and if they can get another win this Friday night against the Dogs they could really create some momentum with a huge amount of home games to finish the year off.

The Dogs got the cash over the Eagles with Crichton kicking the winning field goal in Golden Point.

Interesting statistic that Crichton has kicked the winning field goal in England for Samoa, Vegas for the Dogs this year and then Australia on the weekend.

The sleeping giants of the competition have awoken and although the Storm still sit 11th on the ladder they have won five of their last six and are starting to look like the Storm of old.

We return to a full book of footy this week with all the origin stars back on deck and some ripper games to look forward to including 2 v 3 with the Dolphins and Warriors and also the desperate Broncos against the Roosters.

Speaking of sublime halfback’s and their performances, how good was Sam Walker in Origin 2 (and 1 for that matter).

Lanterns light Rail Trail A life in painting

By Rada Campbell

THE RAIL Trail will glow at dusk on Saturday, June 27, when the Stokers Siding Lantern Parade returns to the Dunbible Memorial Hall.

Held in the week of the winter solstice, the parade brings a touch of magic to the shortest days of the year, with handmade lanterns, singing and community light carried into the dark.

The Family Fun Day will run from 3pm to 8pm, following the success of last year’s event, which drew more than 200 people and left organisers encouraged by the response.

“After last year’s inaugural Lantern Parade we received such amazing feedback from the community and were very encouraged to bring it back in 2026,” hall committee member Gunter Ehmann told The Weekly.

Gunter, well known for his pizza pop-ups, is also part of the committee working to bring more life back into the village.

The afternoon will include a lantern-making workshop, homemade cakes and treats, pizza, face painting, craft stalls and games, with the Uki RFS fire brigade visiting with their fire tr uck from 3pm to 5pm.

For Gunter, the event is about more than entertainment. It is part of a broader push to restore the hall as the social heart of the village.

“The Stokers Siding Dunbible Community Hall is the centre of our small village with a long history of beautiful gatherings within the local communities and we really want to revive those moments,” he said.

At dusk, the lanterns will be lit outside the hall before participants set off on a 40-minute return walk along the Northern Rivers Rail Trail.

Gunter said last year’s mix of homemade food, craft stalls, live performance and the after-dark parade made the event “unique and remarkable”.

This year, the walk will again be led by parents singing as the group moves along the trail, experiencing a familiar local landmark in a very different way.

While children and families are warmly welcomed, organisers say the event is for all ages.

“This will be a fantastic gathering for everyone in the community, not just families and children,” Gunter said.

The Stokers Siding Family Fun Day and Lantern Parade will be held at Stokers Siding Dunbible Memorial Hall on Saturday, June 27, from 3pm to 8pm. Entry is free.

Lantern-making, craft, food and games brought all ages together at Stokers Siding

By Rada Campbell

STOKERS SIDING artist Scott McDougall has spent more than 40 years doing what many artists dream of and few manage to sustain: making a life entirely from his art.

At 73, Scott still has the spark of someone with more to discover. From his immaculate hilltop home overlooking the valley, his world feels shaped by the same eye that fills his paintings. Everything is considered. Everything has its place.

Scott began painting seriously at 23 and by 30 had what he calls his “midlife crisis”.

“I thought I would have been an established artist by then,” Scott told The Weekly.

So he packed up his young family and moved from Brisbane to Sydney, a decision that would ignite his career. Advertising illustration paid the bills until his fine art income caught up, and from there he never looked back.

“I stopped and painted and I haven’t stopped painting,” he said.

Since becoming a full-time professional artist in 1983, Scott has held more than 30 solo exhibitions across Australia and overseas, been a finalist in the Sulman and Wynne prizes, and is represented in private and corporate collections internationally.

His work has taken him through Europe, Morocco, Cuba and Vietnam, producing richly detailed paintings of ageing buildings, flaking paint, crumbling render and places marked by time.

But his connection to the Tweed runs deeper than where he lives now. His grandparents, the Cranney’s, were among the early settlers of the valley, working as timber getters and banana farmers.

Returning as a painter, the rainforest green did not easily fit his instinctive idea of the Aus-

Scott McDougall with a work in progress inspired by the Tenterfield landscape, a region whose hard light and open skies have opened a new chapter in his practice.

tralian landscape as dry, harsh and open. It has the kind of lushness only a painter could find fault with, and maybe that is what makes our region so special.

That tension pushed Scott west to Tenterfield, where brown grass, granite, big skies and hard light opened a new chapter in his work. He now travels there to capture the landscape, often pairing it with the dramatic cloud formations that gather and shift around Wollumbin.

His paintings are a feast for the eyes: rich, precise and atmospheric, but never crowded.

They ask the viewer to step into the landscape, not simply look at it.

After decades of painting, awards, international travel and selling work to a third generation of collectors, Scott has no plans to stop.

Hastings Point is beautiful... let’s keep it that way OUR FIGHT FOR CLEAN WATERWAYS AND BEACHES BECOMES MORE URGENT

Across the Tweed, community associations are insisting that council improve wastewater treatment while dealing with a growing population.

Tweed Shire Council must soon make a critical environmental decision on upgrading the old Hastings Point Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).

Antiquated plants with marginal environmental compliance must be refit to cost-effective, best practice, modern technology.

Tweed Communities want the Hastings Point WWTP upgrade to minimise pollutants to Christies Creek and the dunes between Hastings Point and Cabarita Headland.

Tweed Communities want the Hastings Point WWTP to lead the way. Upgrade this plant to minimise pollutants to the creeks, estuary and foreshore - the cornerstone to the area’s priceless environmental and recreational values.

Council’s recent decision to update Murwillumbah WWTP using the old polluting technology is inexcusable.

THIS CANNOT HAPPEN AT HASTINGS POINT

96125

EPA licence breaches occur regularly at WWTPs in the Tweed. The council’s old, familiar technology is unable to reliably meet EPA standards, with failures projected to worsen.

Tweed Communities Alliance

Watch this space in coming weeks to learn why council’s wastewater treatment must achieve benchmark standards and best practice.

It’s an issue that concerns us all.

More than just a club Adults on Stage returns

By Madeleine Murray

By Jonathon Howard

SEAGULLS IS LIKE a home away from home, only better.

Comfortable chairs and tables are set spaciously apart in rooms with thick carpet and lots of light pouring through windows looking out onto a wide deck and Terranora Broadwater Lake. The food is delicious, the bar has a fine wine, beer and cocktail menu.

And there’s so much to do. Darts, free pool on Wednesdays, free live music on the weekend, karaoke, raffles, two for one seniors lunch, trivia every Thursday. The list goes on.

Really, you’d never be bored.

The happy, friendly stuff make you feel welcome. And you’ll probably run into your friends there.

“We’re investing a lot of money in the club this year,” Marketing and Communications Manager Sarah Horton told The Weekly.

“We resurfaced the car park out front, and we’ve put new tiling in the reception area. We’ve just put in new furniture, we have new carpet rolling through the venue in August, and we’re getting a new bar inside.”

The Weekly stopped by to chat with a group affectionately known as the Table of Knowledge.

“I come here quite a bit because I live just down the road. I enjoy the food, the drinks, the company,” Tanya said.

Her friend added: “I come here for the company, the beer. I come here every day but I don’t want to admit that!”

Tanya laughed: “We’re called the Table of Knowledge, but we found out we’re not all that knowledgeable. Some have more knowledge than others.

“And they’re all new stories because we forget what we’re talking about today!”

As the club’s website promises, from fireworks to quintessential classic rock shows, there is rarely a dull moment.

SOME OF the Tweed’s most talented singers, musicians and performers will take centre stage this week when Adults on Stage returns as part of the Murwillumbah Festival of Performing Arts.

The annual showcase will be held at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre on Friday, June 26, with a diverse line-up of performers from across the shire for an evening celebrating local talent.

Twenty artists are set to appear throughout the night, including CJ Shaw, Beth Brooks, Antonia Breen, Kym Stanthorpe, Ari Ehrlich, John Storey and Denise Ewin.

The evening will open with the Whopping Big Band and feature a special performance by the Murwillumbah Theatre Company before concluding with appearances by Kalliope of the Shore, the Chillingham Voices Community Choir and the Murwillumbah Philharmonic Choir.

Festival director Heather Martin OAM said Adults on Stage had become one of the high-

“I remember seeing the Spice Girls tribute show when I was 12 and it totally changed my life!” journalist Rada Campbell told The Weekly.

“Venues like that are really important to the fabric of the community, especially for those of us that didn’t have the means or access to larger cultural phenomena – such as the Spice Girls!”

Seagulls supports sport across the community and has a range of intraclubs that include archery, croquet, dragon boats, fishing, and more.

The club partners regularly with community groups including Friends of the Pound, and March for Melanoma. More than 100 years after its founding, Seagulls remains a gathering place where sport, community and entertainment come together in the Tweed.

lights of the festival calendar.

“This event has become a highlight of the festival alongside the stunning performances of younger performers in the Music program,” she said.

The Murwillumbah Festival of Performing Arts has long provided opportunities for performers of all ages and experience levels to showcase their talents, and the adult program has grown into a popular community event in its own right.

Audiences can expect a varied program featuring music, theatre and choral performances, reflecting the depth of artistic talent across the Tweed.

The evening will also provide an opportunity for performers and audiences to come together and celebrate the arts in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, with supper to be provided following the performances.

Adults on Stage will begin at 6pm on Friday, June 26, at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre.

Admission is $8 for adults and $6 concession.

Rebecca Lavery explores painting in a culture saturated with images

KINGSCLIFF ARTIST Rebecca Lavery is thrilled to have been selected for one of Australia’s most significant exhibitions of emerging contemporary art, presented by the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA).

Lavery is one of just 21 Australian graduates selected for the nationally recognised exhibition Hatched: National Graduate Show 2026, which showcases outstanding work by graduating art students and provides a platform for the next generation of Australian contemporary artists.

A graduate of Southern Cross University’s Bachelor of Art and Design program, Lavery’s selection comes at a significant moment for creative arts education in the Northern Rivers following the university’s decision to discontinue its creative arts degrees.

Her selected work, 2007 Britney (2025), comprises six oil paintings and a looped animation developed from widely circulated paparazzi footage of Britney Spears. Through painting and animation, the work revisits a moment once consumed as celebrity spectacle and invites viewers to reconsider the images through contemporary perspectives shaped by changing attitudes toward media, surveillance and public scrutiny.

“Being selected for Hatched is an incredible honour and a significant milestone in my practice,” Lavery said.

“As an artist working regionally, the opportunity to exhibit alongside graduates from across Australia is both exciting and affirming.

It demonstrates that artists can develop ambitious contemporary practices from regional communities and contribute meaningfully to national conversations.”

Lavery is currently undertaking a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) at the Queensland

SEAS THE DAY was another massive sucess over the weekend with thousands of women, families and spectators coming together for the fourth NRMA Insurance Seas The Day Women’s Surf Festival, cementing its reputation as the world’s largest female participation surf event.

More than 300 competitors took to the water across shortboard, longboard and para surfing divisions, while the two-day festival featured workshops, panel discussions, wellness sessions and a celebrity surf challenge in celebration of International Surfing Day. One of the biggest crowds in the event’s history packed the Women in Surf Hub to hear professional surfer and content creator Alana Blanchard speak about motherhood, resilience and creating opportunities for women and girls.

“This festival is so special because it brings girls together from all walks of life,” Blanchard said.

“It gets everyone in the water and introduces the younger generation to competition, often for the very first time, but in a fun, supportive and inclusive environment.

“Events like this create connection, confidence and opportunity, and bringing women together can only make our sport and our community stronger.”

Australia’s most decorated Olympian Emma McKeon joined fellow Olympians Owen Wright and Danielle Scott on an inspiring panel.

“I grew up around the water and absolutely loved it — it changed my life,” McKeon said.

“I’ve made so many lifelong friends through the ocean, and sport has given me health, happiness, confidence and opportunities I never could have imagined.

“That’s exactly what we’re trying to give

the next generation here today.”

Surfing Australia High Performance Program director Kate Wilcomes said the festival provided a safe and supportive environment where girls could thrive.

“Events like this are incredibly important because they create a space where girls feel safe, supported and like they truly belong,” she said.

“They inspire girls to surf more, get active and explore different sports, while building confidence and connections along the way.

“You have the opportunity to connect with different generations, world champions and others who simply share a love for surfing.

That’s what makes this festival so special.”

Snapper Rocks SRC’s Samantha Arderne, who won the Open Women’s Shortboard title with teammates Jordy Halford and Madison Kenchington, said the victory was especially satisfying after narrowly missing out last year.

“It feels so good,” Arderne said.

“Last year we fell just short and finished second in the Under 18s, so to come back this year and take the win in the Open Women’s is pretty special.

“All the girls were absolutely ripping. My favourite part of Seas The Day is having so many women down here together. Everyone is lifting each other up and supporting one another. That’s what makes it so special.”

Two-time World Para Surfing champion Em Dieters, who posted the highest individual score in the Para final, praised the festival’s inclusiveness.

“There is such a diverse range of people here and it’s important that everyone feels represented,” she said.

“Visibility matters, and it’s important that people know surfing is accessible and that our community welcomes everyone with open arms.”

NSW Budget preview breakdown

By Jonathon Howard

TWEED SHIRE and NSW families will receive cost-of-living relief and see billions invested in hospitals, schools, roads and disaster recovery under the 2026-27 NSW Budget, with the Minns Government promising targeted support for regional communities still recovering from natural disasters and rising living costs.

Among the measures announced are a $100 discount on private vehicle registrations, a $557 million Home Energy Saver program offering interest-free loans and rebates for energy-efficient appliances, and a $1,000 cost-of-living payment for more than 120,000 NSW Government employees.

The Budget also delivers a record increase in health spending, with $10.3 billion to recruit 9,000 additional health workers and fund almost 2,900 more surgeries, alongside $3 billion for regional hospital infrastructure over four years.

Major North Coast projects to continue include the $265 million Port Macquarie Base Hospital redevelopment, the $263.8 million Grafton Hospital redevelopment, expanded midwifery services at Lismore Base

Hospital and new ambulance stations at Lismore and Mullumbimby.

Education funding includes community sporting facilities and open space for the future Pottsville High School, while road upgrades feature $30 million to plan improvements to the M1 Pacific Motorway between Tweed Heads and Byron Bay and continued work on the Coffs Harbour bypass.

More than $546 million has also been allocated to restore North Coast roads and public assets damaged by natural disasters, while $241.1 million will continue the Resilient Homes Program in the Northern Rivers.

Environmental and agricultural initiatives include $7 million to rebuild the NSW cattle tick program and $5 million for river health restoration across the Richmond, Evans, Brunswick and Tweed catchments.

Minister for the North Coast Janelle Saffin said families across the region were doing it tough.

“North Coast families are feeling the pinch right now,” Ms Saffin said.

“As the Treasurer made clear, this Budget is about delivering relief today alongside generational reform for tomorrow.

“For the North Coast, that means a massive investment in our most vital essential service - building and upgrading local schools, restoring local roads after disasters, and delivering major health infrastructure like the redevelopments at Grafton, Port Macquarie, and Lismore.”

Minister for Regional NSW Tara Moriarty said the package represented a coordinated investment in the future of the region.

“The NSW Government is delivering a significant and coordinated investment across the Northern Rivers to strengthen regional economies, protect the environment and support local communities into the future,” Ms Moriarty said.

“From major biosecurity programs to critical river health and hydrologic restoration works we are taking practical action to protect both primary industries and natural assets.

“We are also investing in people and skills, creating pathways to employment and economic growth for the region.”

Nationals Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said he has welcomed the 2026-27 NSW Budget, but said the reality for Tweed residents is that there is “little in the budget to address the

region’s pressing infrastructure and service demands, with no significant new funding announcements for major local priorities”.

• $30 million dollars has been allocated to plan upgrades to the M1 Pacific Motorway from Tweed Heads to Byron Bay • $321,000 for 12 school crossing supervisors • $4.5 million for the Resilient Homes program • Parents of 3-year-olds in long day care will be supported with fee relief until the end of 2027 • $2.3 million for Social Housing upgrades • Over $1million dollars for continuing works and upgrades to Cobaki and Kings Forest Substations The NSW Budget makes provision for a community open space as part of the Pottsville High School development, yet no funding figure has been attached to the project.

Investing in grassroots activities not only benefits children’s health and wellbeing but also eases financial pressure on families and strengthens local communities.

At a time when many seniors are struggling with rising living costs and increasing pressure on health

Treasurer Daniel Mookey

and community services, it is disappointing to see so little support directed towards regional New South Wales. Seniors in communities like the Tweed deserve the same attention and investment as those living in metropolitan areas.

Mr Provest said the NSW Nationals will bring back the Regional Seniors Travel card if successful at the March 2027 election.

“Regional seniors are more reliant on car travel, and the card provides much-needed financial relief to those who need it most,” he said.

“The $7 million commitment to the NSW Cattle Tick Program is good news for Tweed farmers and the wider agricultural community.”

Mick Fanning’s fairway to fun at Charity Golf Day THERE WERE 178 golf carts, 400 players, stunt bikes, tattoos, snakes and non-stop fun at Mick Fanning’s 2026 Charity Golf Day at the Coolangatta and Tweed Heads Golf Club at Tweed Heads South on Friday, June 19.

The event began as a response to the 2022 floods, when Joel Parking took his jet ski to Tumbulgum and rescued a whole crew from the flooded village, calling in mates Fanning, Troy Brooks, Beau Emerton, Mikey Wright, Bede Durbidge, Luke Munro, Mark Mathews and Parko, to help.

They also chipped in with the clean up and recovery.

They rallied Australia’s sporting and entertainment community behind flood-affected families and communities across the region and the event has now raised more than $3 million.

“What started as a direct response to our local community in need has grown into one of my favourite days of the year,” Mick said.

“It’s mindblowing that we’ve raised millions to date and while we’re still backing the region, we’ve expanded to now support three charity partners.”

Stars taking to the course included Ash Barty, Alyssa Healy, Mitchell Starc, Adam Reynolds, Todd Carney, Dylan Alcott, the Mad Hueys, Amy Shark, Robbie Maddison, Chris Judd, Joel Parkinson, Vaughan and Ronnie

Blakey Valentino Guseli, Glenn Robbins, Peter Helliar and Micro Hall.

Great Australian Rum Co. ambassador Shannon Nolls poured shots down player’s throats, then roped a Sunrise reporter into a recreation of a viral shoey they did years back, before taking to a table-top at the after party and belting out What about Me, with the crowd singing along.

Moto stunt legend Robbie Maddison put on a show for the punters, with Dalton Scissorhands providing tattoos.

Plenty of fun was had by all with all funds raised supporting charity partners GIVIT, Human Nature and Cure EB. Photos courtesy of Mick Fanning Charity Golf Day.

Cudgen cliffhanger, Mustangs down Pies

By Jo Kennett

IT WAS round 9 of the NRRRL on Sunday, June 21, with Murwillumbah getting a big win over former competition leaders Lower Clarence, while Cudgen took down the in-form Tweed Heads Seagulls with a thrilling last minute field goal.

The Cudgen home game began with a minute’s silence in honour of “Big Mac” McCulloch, who recently passed away.

“He was a passionate supporter of the Hornets and one of our earliest junior coaches, dedicating countless hours to helping young players develop their love of the game. His contribution to our club and community spanned many years and touched many lives,” the club wrote.

The Seagulls, who sit in ninth place, came out firing against the Hornets in First Grade.

They scored three tries in the first 16 minutes, two converted, and it wasn’t until the start of the second quarter that Jye Barton scored for Cudgen. Then Caleb Ziebel went across, leaving the score at half time 16-12 to the Gulls.

Tweed scored first in the second half, before Cudgen hit back with two tries, only one converted, to take them to 22-22.

With one minute to go, Cudgen’s Elliot Speed kicked a field goal, to take the win 24-22.

Seagulls got the win in the reggies, 24-12 and in the Under 18s Cudgen also got the win, 24-4. The ladies absolutely caned Kyogle in the tackle, 54-4 and hold their spot on top of the ladder, with Murwillumbah right up there too.

Bilambil played Marist Brothers at Byron Bay and while they managed a couple of tries, an on-fire Mitch Krause hit back with a hat trick, with

Henry Lee also scoring twice for Lismore, to get the win 28-10.

The Jets absolutely smashed the Rams in Reserve Grade, 60-0, while Marist got the win 16-14 in the Under 18s.

Casino played Tweed Coast at Casino, and they showed why they are leading the competition, scoring 11 tries to Raiders two.

Casino have an absolute weapon in Eddie Walker-Willi. Not only did he score a try, he converted all 11 of them, which is pretty amazing when you think about it.

The Raiders also took a beating in the reggies, 52-6, but got an exciting first win in the Under 18s, 30-8.

It was only a couple of weeks ago that Lower was sitting on top of the ladder, but the Mustangs dominated in Yamba, winning five tries to one, 28-6, and are tied in top place with Casino.

The reggies also got the win, 56-10,

and the Mares, in the Ladies League Tag, won 22-0 for a clean sweep.

This Saturday the Mustangs take on Cudgen at home, for the 2016 Premiers Reunion Day, marking 10 years since Murwillumbah First Grade won the grand final so it should be a huge local derby.

Congrats to Eliza and Jane at the Hornets for all their hard work with the raffle, now drawn, with one lucky lady and seven mates off to the footy with corporate box seats in Sydney.

Don’t be a tight arse, open that wallet and support your local club and all our amazing volunteers in their vital fundraising efforts.

FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

Hot property

AG E N T O F T H E W E E K

OUR AGENT of the Week is Kara Mallory, owner of Mallory Properties, an independent real estate agent known for her genuine approach, strong values, and commitment to exceptional client service.

With a focus on clear communication and personalised guidance, Kara helps buyers and sellers navigate every stage of their property journey with confidence.

Whether managing a private off-market opportunity or a full sales campaign, she prioritises her clients’ goals above all else, delivering a professional, supportive, and stress-free real estate experience.

BEFORE YOU WERE A REAL ESTATE AGENT WHAT WAS THE MOST INTERESTING JOB YOU HAD?

My first career was probably the most exciting. After completing a university degree in technical theatre at QUT, I was fortunate to land the position of Stage Manager for the Queensland Ballet. I worked and toured Australia and overseas for eight years and it was a magical time.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO INTO REAL ESTATE?

In my uni days, I rented a different house every six months because I loved property, design and living in different locations.

My husband and I have bought and sold about six or seven houses, so the love is still there.

After teaching in schools for the last 20 years, I knew I wanted to keep helping people, so now I help buyers and sellers on their next journey.

The market has cooled to a more realistic level, but as we know everyone loves this area, so property will always sell well and remain a popular commodity.

WHAT ARE THE BEST THINGS ABOUT YOUR JOB?

WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR SELLERS?

As an independent agent, I enjoy the freedom to focus entirely on my clients and their goals. Being able to make decisions quickly, provide a personalised service, and build genuine relationships with buyers and sellers is incredibly rewarding.

Plus I get to be totally autonomous. No office politics, KPIs, staff meetings, or competition. It’s awesome!

Prepare your house for sale properly: clean it, make necessary repairs, and obtain pre-inspection reports for pests and building conditions. Fix any issues from the report. Invest in advertising to give your property the best chance of selling. Use a hard working and honest agent like me who will go above and beyond to achieve a successful campaign.

WHO ARE YOU SEEING BUYING PROPERTIES AT THE MOMENT?

HOW CAN PEOPLE GET A FOOT IN THE DOOR ON THE PROPERTY MARKET?

Due to some recent listings of large family homes, I am seeing many local blended families looking for numerous bedrooms and multiple living areas. If the property is presented well and shows value, it still sells quickly. We also continue to see consistent enquiry from interstate buyers, particularly from Melbourne.

Visit some open homes to gauge the market, decide on your desired location, check with your bank for pre-approval, choose a conveyancer, and if you like a property, act quickly: submit an offer with a pest and building clause to secure it. Or ring me, I may have one coming to market soon.

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST CHANGE YOU HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE MARKET IN THE PAST YEAR?

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ADVICE?

How reactive buyers and sellers are to media, world events, and financial events.

The process of listing and selling is taking more time and gone are the days when buyers offered and paid over market value for a property like they did one to four years ago.
