The town of too many pedestrian crossings

Well said Pam (TVW, December 11, Letters). I had a brief conversation with an elderly lady in Murwillumbah the other day. She asked me what is happening to this town. I had only thought about the exact question earlier that morning.

I have lived here for 30 years and my son was born in Murwillumbah Hospital 20 years ago. My answer was drugs are rampant in the community.

The traffic in town is a complete quagmire. I call it the “town of the pedestrian crossings”.

Shall we raise money to erect a giant pedestrian crossing on Tweed Valley Way? We can highlight to visitors and southerners wanting to live in our beautiful village how the infrastructure is not maintaining the eyesore suburbs being built.

Our intersections at the Condong sugar mill needs to be turned into roundabouts to stop the endless carnage. We will eventually need another bridge to divert traffic. We could certainly do with less pedestrian crossings.

A set of traffic lights might be useful at the intersection of Main and Brisbane streets? Rat runners now fly around hospital hill to avoid the traffic. Stopping people from crossing the double lines to park in angle parking may help with the flow of traffic.

Don’t get me started on the delays to the repairs of the council parking in Queen Street. Anyone had a parking offence lately?

The elderly lady told me it was time to go home as she did not feel as safe as she used to be. Ice being allegedly sold in Knox Park is destroying families. Break and enters on the increase.

Young hoons on electric bikes disobeying the law with nothing to do except throw rotten vegetables and seafood at innocent people’s homes.

Need I say more!

Why is there no action on illegal parking

The response tendered by Tweed Shire Council in The Weekly (TVW, December 11) to the illegal camping problem fails to address at least one point.

Why aren’t council rangers pro-actively enforcing the regulation/signage which is meant to deter illegal camping, in particular, the ‘No Parking 11pm–5am’ signage?

Ratepayers affected by the behaviour of illegal campers are entitled to an explanation.

There are plenty of photos of holidaymakers ignoring council signage along Chinderah Bay Drive.

Graffiti scourge needs addressing

Referring to the Weekly article (December 11) titled ‘Graffiti scourge’, I totally support James Owen’s motion put to Tweed Shire Council regarding “Cleaning up Tweed Shire’s graffiti scourge”.

Parts of our beautiful shire are starting to look like a dodgy crime ghetto from the movies now. The problem is out of control. This is particularly so on infrastructure controlled by the state government (the M1), Telstra and Essential Energy who don’t seem to care about the amenity of our community.

The council has been relatively bet-

ter through the “Tweed report a problem” webpage, however, the problem is accelerating away from them due to a lack of response by state and corporate bodies, and it must be said, police prioritisation and enforcement. Cr Owen’s five-point plan makes sense.

Yes, it will cost money now, but if the problem is greatly reduced then in future the costs may be recovered by less council spending on vandalism remediation in the future.

One can see this effect as you cross the border. Queensland Transport, Gold Coast City Council and Queensland Police are doing something more effectively than we are as the problem is much better controlled by our northern neighbours.

Much-loved walkway is used by local families

The walkway at Philp Parade is used extensively (TVW, December 11). I walk on it every day and when the grandchildren visit, they love to fish from the walkway. Many people walk there every day. It would be a tragedy to see it dismantled.

Jan Hallett, Tweed Heads

Thank you to local medical staff

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the amazing health staff at Main Street Medical, John Flynn Private Hospital and the Tweed Valley Hospital (Hospital in the Home) physiotherapist and nurse.

I have had a tracheostomy for the past 27 years and I’ve been attending the same Main Street Medical Centre the entire time I have had the same nurse, Joy Wade, who has been the most gentlest, and caring human being I have ever met in my life. My husband, Robert, who suffers from asbestosis, has also been in Joy’s care and the Main Street Medical Centre team has been outstanding to work with. I cannot speak more highly of Joy and these amazing medical teams, including the other nurses, who have cared for me

Knox Park slime pond

Regarding The Weekly’s article around the future of the Knox Park pond (Dec 4). While the sacred ibis is a protected native bird, other native animals are allowed to be culled such as kangaroos and galahs — as human disturbances have altered the natural balance to their habitat.

The ibises moved to city dumps due to droughts, stayed, and their populations boomed. When the dump at South Murwillumbah closed, they made their way to town.

Knox Park was once a swampy horse paddock and bequeathed to the community. A pond was dug to drain marshy land which morphed into a cane toad and mosquito-infected slime pond. After walls, filtration systems, an island made, landscaped with native vegetation, it looked beautiful until the ibises moved in.

Their overpopulation has displaced other species, destroyed the trees and sadly, once gone, they will simply move to adjoining trees just transferring the problem — maybe to your yard. While safety is an issue, the whole corner could be fenced off to keep people and dogs out, but the problem is an imbalance in the population for the site. Don’t waste money on upgrades rather put a case to NSW National Parks to humanely cull them so they can be embraced as beautiful native birds instead of vermin. Western Australia has the same

issues with introduced kookaburras now a pest eating endemic fauna. As an avid conservationist and naturalist its a big conflict because its humans that upset that natural balance in the first place.

Karen Gail, Crystal Creek

Nuclear energy creates a lot more issues

I take issue with D Weston Allen’s (TVW, December 11) comparison of the dangers of nuclear power versus to those of solar and wind.

Uranium 234 has a half-life of 245,00 years. This means that any contamination would take that long for half of the sample to decay. And we know that radiation isn’t good for people or the planet.

Some readers will remember Fukoshima, Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. Oh yeah, and I haven’t heard anything lately about nuclear waste.

Has anyone found a way to store that safely for the millions of years it will take to break down? Or does it just go away with a bit of spin about “safe” storage.

As for the forest loss through renewables, have a look at that loss due to agriculture, logging and mining. It’s a fraction by comparison.

And before you say we need to eat and justify the agricultural expansion, it’s usually to increase the wealth of already wealthy individuals and companies. Maybe it’s greed we need to stop? If the development of renewables is done responsibly it can be a part of the response to the climate condition we find ourselves in.

Shock over DA approval

POST XMAS

SALE

PRESSURE

Creek Street and North Star residents at the site after a 2023 DA refusal

Mr O’Reilly says it allows developers to benefit from land with a history of unlawful conduct without remediating the resulting damage.

“Sadly, this was conduct that council’s predecessors failed to remediate despite a court order,” he said.

Mr O’Reilly said the assessment focused only on whether the proposal would worsen existing unsafe conditions, relying on conflicting expert opinions and flood studies “that don’t reflect the lived experience of the community.”

“Disappointingly, a court has ultimately determined to subject new residents to the same significant flood risk as current residents in the middle of a flood flow path, i.e. where refuge upstairs is fine when there is no way to safely exit anywhere in Hastings Point to higher ground.

“If this decision is not appealable, the community will continue to fight to ensure the building application is consistent with the Hastings Point Development Control Plan, to save the unique green streetscape of Creek Street, and to remediate the estuary for the benefit of all.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe floodplains should remain development free, or should it depend on the site and type of development? The Weekly is interested in your thoughts via: editor@theweekly.net.au

AFTER YEARS of protests and court cases, Hastings Point residents were stunned to learn that the Land and Environment Court had approved a 13-lot development in a flood-prone part of the village, a decision Mayor Chris Cherry says “beggars belief.”

Developer Walter Elliot Holdings appealed Tweed Shire Council’s 2023 rejection of the latest development application (DA) for 40 Creek Street (Lot 156) based on flood risk and environmental encroachment and won their appeal after on-site visits by Commissioner Emma Washington Hastings Point Progress Association secretary and Creek Street resident Julie Boyd said she was devastated by the news.

“The community has been fighting for the protection of the Cudgera and Christies Creek estuaries, the surrounding mangrove wetlands and their own homes for over 40 years, through ten DAs and several court cases for one site,” Ms Boyd said.

“The community appreciates the support received from all councillors in recent times. To not have their local input into future DA determinations is an awful blow to communities.

“This has taken a massive toll on the local community — physically, mentally, financially, emotionally, intellectually and socially.

“The community trusts that common sense will prevail and the reopening of the estuary to mitigate flooding and the shelving of unnecessary roadworks will be re-considered.”

Creek Street resident Richard Gow said residents “who know the history of illegal

dredging, clearing and filling” at the site were shocked by the decision.

“That estuary system, which we have been trying to have reinstated, helped to reduce flooding in Creek Street and the North Star Tasman Holiday Park and properties upstream,” he said.

“To have this development approved in a known flood flow path will have a huge impact in flooding local residents.

“We have records of flood events over the last 40 years, and if flooding is increased, we will be taking class action against the government that approved the DA.” Mayor Chris Cherry said she was “completely devastated by this loss.”

“It beggars belief that the court thinks that it is a good idea to build new houses on the banks of the estuary in Hastings Point,” she said.

“With sea level rise and storm surges and the way Creek Street already floods, the concern for the community has always been how will filling this estuary impact on the existing residents.

“We went in to bat for the residents, we certainly had the best experts on it, but the court has come down in favour of filling and building on this creek bank and only time will tell how it works out into the future.”

Creek Street solicitor John O’Reilly has spent tens of thousands of hours working on the court cases and says the decision “reflects how deficient law can continue to prevent fairness and justice to the community where a court is constrained from considering the community’s current flood risk and how that occurred, i.e. through the theft of seven acres of Crown Land, dredging and environmental destruction.”

Pottsville high school Mozzie warning

By Jo Kennett

A NEW Pottsville high school will go ahead at Seabreeze Estate, according to a planning update released recently by the Minns government which is currently in the process of buying the site, honouring a long-held Labor Party promise.

The 6.3 hectare block of land at 1 Seabreeze Boulevard, Pottsville, was earmarked as a potential school site in 2000 as part of the original approval for Seabreeze Estate.

The school is part of the NSW Government’s plan to rebuild public education, with the NSW Budget delivering $2.1 billion for new and upgraded schools in regional NSW. “This targeted investment will ensure growing communities get access to a world class public education,” the NSW Department of Education stated in a press release.

As part of the planning process for the new high school the department carried out “a detailed review of current and projected enrolment demand, planned development and other considerations that will inform the development of the future school.”

“After an extensive search for suitable sites, we have identified a location for the new high school on Seabreeze Boulevard, Pottsville,” the media release states.

“We are currently in the process of acquiring the land for the new school. This involves a compulsory acquisition process, as outlined under the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991.

“The preferred school site is earmarked for a high school in the Tweed Council Development Control Plan, with good access to main connecting roads, footpaths,

The vacant land at Pottsville which the state government is buying for a high school

housing and community infrastructure.

“Several alternative sites were explored; however the final site was considered the most suitable for the development of a school due to environmental and associated road and pedestrian access benefits.”

Site history explained

The land was listed as a potential school site in the approved Seabreeze Estate master plan.

In 2008, developer Metricon attempted to get approval for a commercial centre — including a supermarket, service station, childcare, shops — on the site, which was refused by the Land and Environment Court (LEC).

The land was earmarked as a potential education site in the Tweed Development Control Plan 2008 (DCP 2008).

In 2015, over 3,000 local residents signed a petition for a new high school in the town.

In 2016 the Coalition government said

there weren’t enough potential students to build a high school at Pottsville and that a new high school at Pottsville would see enrolments drop at Kingscliff High School, however 11,000 people are expected to be living at Kings Forest once it is completed, with Kingscliff the closest high school.

The developer subsequently submitted three different applications to develop the site for residential buildings, losing their appeal against refusals in 2017, 2020 and most recently in 2023, when they tried to get a 93-lot seniors subdivision approved.

In 2023, Education Minister Pru Car travelled to Pottsville as the Shadow Minister for Education for Chris Minn’s opposition party when they promised to fund the high school if they got elected.

TWEED SHIRE residents are being urged to take extra precautions against mosquito bites this summer following the early detection of two mosquito-borne viruses that can cause serious illness, including brain swelling.

NSW Health has confirmed that routine surveillance in Western NSW detected Kunjin virus in a sentinel chicken blood sample at Cowra on November 20 this year, earlier than typically expected in the season.

At the same time, Japanese Encephalitis (JE) virus was recently identified in a mosquito sample in the Horsham Rural City Council area in Victoria, marking the first detection of the virus for the 2025–2026 season.

Associate Director of North Coast Population and Public Health, Robin Auld, said the early detections were concerning, despite no cases being identified in Northern NSW to date.

“Mosquito numbers will likely increase with warmer weather, and we remind everyone in the region to protect themselves against mosquito bites, which can spread diseases such as Japanese Encephalitis, Murray Valley Encephalitis, Kunjin virus, Ross River virus and Barmah Forest virus,” Mr Auld said.

He noted that 60 local government areas across NSW are now considered at higher risk for JE, with residents and visitors to Lismore, Richmond Valley and Kyogle urged to take particular care.

A safe, effective and free vaccine is available to protect against JE for eligible people who live or routinely work in these LGAs, as well as those in certain high-risk occupations.

The vaccine is available through GPs, Aboriginal health services and participating pharmacists, although appointments may be required and consultation fees may apply.

Booster doses may be recommended for some people one to two years after completing their initial course.

There is no vaccine or specific treatment for Kunjin virus or other mosquito-borne diseases in Australia.

Varroa a major issue

By Jo Kennett

LOCAL BEES are being hit hard by Varroa mite, with hive collapses being reported across the shire.

Many hobby beekeepers in the Hastings Point, Bogangar, Round Mountain, Nunderi and Clothiers Creek areas have had their hives collapse in the last two to three weeks, with bees either dying or abandoning their hives.

Varroa mites weaken adults and larvae, making them vulnerable to hive beetle and spreading deadly viruses which can kill bee colonies if left untreated.

Experts say if you have more than four or five mites in a test (to 200 bees) you should start treating your hives with chemicals.

Hastings Point beekeepers Robbie Johnson and Paul Young only discovered a couple of mites when they first tested in August.

“A month later we had four or five and we should’ve started treating but we tried other methods,” Robbie said.

“We used ventilated bottom boards with oil trays underneath so when the bees are cleaning the hives or themselves, a beetle or Varroa will fall through.

“We just underestimated how quick it was going to take over, it was probably two months from when we first detected Varroa.

“Two hives had swarmed and produced another queen but they were really weakened from Varroa and then hive beetle had overtaken and slimed the hive out.

“Hive beetles lay their eggs in the

honey cells and it turns the hive into disgusting slime.

“We put Varroa mite chemical strips in two remaining ones but it was too late — within 12 to 24 hours there were thousands of Varroa mites in the oil trays.”

Varroa testing can be done using an alcohol wash, with half a cup of bees (200 to 300) shaken in a bottle of methylated spirits; it’s the most accurate but kills the bees.

A sugar shake is gentler: place 200 bees in a jar with holes in the lid with two teaspoons of icing sugar, roll for a minute, then shake the sugar into water to reveal the mites.

Hive beetles are common, but healthy colonies can manage them if controls are used.

Robbie said their hives collapsed within a week from the first hive to last.

“We lost five hives in seven days,” he said.

“We didn’t want to use chemicals and then we left it too late.

“It was devastating. We love our bees.

“We’ve never had to use chemicals, and ideally you don’t want to, but if it means the survival of the hive I’d use it every day of the week.”

Worker bees only live for around 30 days and fly up to three kilometres to forage for nectar and pollen.

Biosecurity failures Bee hives can be imported into Australia, but strict biosecurity kept Australia safe from hive beetle and Varroa until recently, with the deadly Varroa mite first detected at the Port

of Newcastle in 2022.

A review of Australia’s biosecurity — once considered the best in the world — by the Inspector-General of Biosecurity released last week revealed shocking enforcement failures inside Australia’s federal biosecurity agency and staff concerns about political and industry influence on biosecurity decision-making.

The CSIRO just announced 350 job cuts, with the Health and Biosecurity unit losing 43 staff and the Agriculture and Food Research Unit losing another 30, shocking farmers, fishers devastated by white spot disease in imported prawns, and beekeepers.

The future Tweed’s bees Experts say around half of all beekeepers will be put out of business after scientists decided Varroa mite eradication was no longer possible last February, despite authorities spending $100 million over 14 months trying to stop the spread of the deadly parasite.

Southern Cross University bee and Varroa expert Dr Cooper Schouten said the cost of honey production was expected to increase by around 30 per cent, which he says will hit hobby beekeepers the hardest.

Dr Schouten said research shows around 95 per cent of wild European honey bees die from Varroa mite, so farmers will have to get more bees to pollinate crops.

“When Varroa hit NZ and USA, they lost 50 per cent and 60 per cent of their registered bee businesses within four years respectively,” Dr Schouten told The Weekly.

Paul Young and Robbie Johnson checking their hives at Hastings Point

“There is evidence that within three to four years, 95 per cent of feral bee colonies die out.

“So, we can assume that for any beekeeper out there who doesn’t know how many Varroa are in their hives and do something about them when they exceed thresholds, they’ll be lucky to have those bees for more than a year.

“Concerningly, there are mites

worse than Varroa, they just haven’t made their way to Australia or many developed nations yet, so few are talking about them.”

YOUR THOUGHTS: The Weekly is eager to hear from apiarists in the Tweed Shire and surrounds experiencing this challenging Varroa issue.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Extreme goanna rescue LOCAL WILDLIFE carers and Essential Energy workers were part of what must be one of the most unusual wildlife rescues in recent times when the call came in that a lace monitor was stuck up a power pole in Kingscliff.

Apparently that seemed like the best place to hide, since there were no trees around.

“Feeling like he’d landed on another planet, we’ve aptly named him Pluto,” Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers (TVWC) said on their Facebook page.

“After hours in the direct sun, being swooped by crows and with no safe way down, he needed urgent help.”

Essential Energy were called in to make sure the power was safely turned off and then it was up in the cherry picker for the brave wildlife carer who grabbed the lizard and safely got it onto the ground.

It had been stuck on the pole all day and was badly dehydrated, so the carer gave it a good hose down and a drink, and it was put into a plastic tub and taken into care overnight. It was released the next day into suitable habitat near where it was found.

“This rescue was a true team effort,” TVWC said.

“Essential Energy quickly arrived to support TVWC rescuer Sarah, and together, a time-critical rescue was carried out swiftly and safely.

Wildlife teamwork at its finest.”

Essential Energy praised the work of TVWC in what they called a “time-critical rescue to get him out safely and swiftly.”

“We hope this goanna thinks twice before going off-grid in the future,” Essential Energy posted online.

“To find out more about Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers and the wonderful work they do visit: tvwc.org.au”

New pound opens

By Jonathon Howard

TWEED SHIRE Council has officially opened a new flood-free Animal Management Facility at South Murwillumbah, marking a major milestone for animal welfare services across the Tweed and heralding a new era for Friends of the Pound.

The purpose-built centre can accommodate up to 80 companion animals, including 40 dogs and 40 cats, and also includes facilities for stockyard animals.

Designed in line with the latest animal welfare and rehoming guidelines, the new facility brings impounding, sheltering, rehoming and veterinary care together at a single, modern location.

The media was invited to view the new facility recently and The Weekly is pleased to report the pound is nothing short of state-of-the-art.

The centre also provides a new administrative hub for council’s rehoming partner Friends of the Pound (Tweed) Inc and serves as the new base for council’s rangers unit. Dedicated spaces have been included for impounded animals and property, along with improved amenities for staff and volunteers.

The South Murwillumbah facility replaces council’s former pound at Stotts Creek, which closed in 2019 due to its flood-prone location and the need for land to support the expansion of the Stotts Creek Resource and Recovery Centre.

During construction, impounded animals were

cared for by a private operator, with rehoming support provided by Friends of the Pound.

When Friends of the Pound move into the new centre in early 2026, all services will be consolidated and future-proofed to meet the needs of the growing Tweed community.

Mayor Chris Cherry said the opening represented a significant step forward.

“Today we’ve delivered a modern, flood-free facility that allows our rangers, volunteers and animal carers the right spaces to do their best work and gives our community confidence that lost or surrendered pets are well cared for and have a good chance of finding a new home,” Cr Cherry said at the opening.

The $9.2 million project was jointly funded by all three levels of government and delivers a long-identified community priority.

Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot was also in attendance and said the project fulfilled a key election commitment.

“I’m proud to be delivering on my election commitment of $1 million to complete Tweed Shire Council and Friends of the Pound’s new animal pound and rehoming centre at South Murwillumbah,” she said.

“The $1 million in funding from the Albanese Labor Government comes on top of a further $1.76 million in Australian Government’s funding for this vital project.”

Friends of the Pound President Sonia Trichter welcomed the new chapter for animal welfare.

Second man charged

By Jo Kennett

POLICE HAVE charged a second man with murder following a fatal shooting at a property at Eungella earlier this month.

Emergency services were called to Tyalgum Road, Eungella, on Wednesday, December 3, after two men, aged 38 and 41, were allegedly shot by another man who fled the scene with a fourth man.

The 41-year-old man died at the scene and the younger man was treated in hospital for a gunshot wound.

A 45-year-old man tried to flee the scene but was run down by a vehicle and was taken to Gold Coast University Hospital under police guard. He was treated for fractures to his legs and arms.

“He has been arrested by virtue of an arrest warrant for murder,” Tweed-Byron Police District Acting Superintendent Matthew Zimmer said.

Tweed-Byron detectives established Strike Force Bray to investigate the shooting.

A 36-year-old man — who police will allege was the fourth person — was charged the following

Holiday boating alert

By Jo Kennett

MARINE RESCUE NSW has issued a safety equipment and maintenance warning to boaters after volunteers across the state returned 823 people safely to shore in November, completing more than 370 search and rescue missions, including 108 emergency responses, with Point Danger the busiest unit in the Northern Rivers.

Across the Northern Rivers there were 28 search and rescue missions, including 20 emergency responses with 63 people safely returned to shore across all Northern Rivers units — Point Danger, Brunswick, Cape Byron, Ballina, Evans Head, Iluka Yamba and Wooli.

Point Danger, the location of highest demand in the region, had nine search and rescue missions, while Cape Byron had six, as did Ballina.

Acting Commissioner Todd Andrews said demand remains high for the volunteer service.

“Following successive record months in September and October, our volunteers were in high demand throughout November, completing 373 search and rescue missions, just 18 fewer than the record set in 2022,” he said.

“We are seeing more boaters out on the water and expect those numbers to rise as we head

into the summer holidays. Boaters need to ensure their vessel is well maintained, carry ample clean fuel, and always wear a lifejacket to avoid becoming a statistic.”

Last month, 56 per cent of responses were for engine, battery, and fuel issues, while crews also attended 22 groundings.

“Groundings are avoidable,” Acting Commissioner Andrews said.

“Boaters must be aware of the tides, the environment, and conditions.

“If boating in an unfamiliar area, consult local charts and speak with the nearest Marine Rescue NSW unit before heading out.”

Marine Rescue NSW radio operators managed 17,566 calls in November and kept watch over 19,467 people on board logged on vessels.

“Logging on is quick and simple and could save your life,” Acting Commissioner Andrews said.

“Boaters can log on 24/7 via the free Marine Rescue NSW app or VHF channel 16. Logging on ensures our skilled volunteers can monitor a boater’s safe return, and if they go overdue, a search will be initiated The figures for December won’t be out until mid-January, so stay safe on the water.

A 3 2 -Y E A R - O L D Fo r t i t u d e Va l l e y (Queensland) man was arrested in Sydney after stealing a car from Tweed Heads and leading police on a chase, explaining to police he “was having a bad day.”

On Tuesday, December 2, a blue Subaru BRZ was stolen from Tweed City Shopping Centre after the man allegedly gained access to a secured area and stole the vehicle keys before stealing the vehicle.

Police investigations indicated the vehicle and offender travelled south to Sydney.

On Thursday, December 11, Sutherland Highway Patrol sighted the stolen vehicle travelling eastbound on Kingsway, Miranda.

Police activated warning devices, but the driver failed to stop, initiating a pursuit. During the pursuit, the driver ran red lights and drove between parked vehicles, causing minor damage and failing to stop.

The pursuit was terminated due to safety concerns.

Shortly after, police received reports the vehicle had collided with a stationary car and the driver fled on foot.

Officers located the offender nearby, where he

Scam warning after social media ban

AS IF coping with the social media ban for under 16s wasn’t enough, there is now an official warning that scammers are targeting teens trying to find ways to get around the ban.

From December 10, several major social media platforms were restricted by law to people aged under 16.

Platforms such as Facebook, Tik Tok, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat, Threads, Twitch, X and YouTube are required by the government under the threat of massive penalties to take “reasonable steps” to prevent Australians under 16 from having accounts on their platforms.

Teens aren’t completely cut off. Those under 16 can still stay connected by using accounts on a range of messaging apps and platforms such as WhatsApp and Messenger, which are not age restricted.

Under-16s will not be in trouble with the law if they still have a social media account after December 10, but platforms could face penalties up to $49.5 million if they don’t take reasonable steps to prevent underage accounts.

Marni Kennedy at Stacks Law Firm says the government’s Scamwatch website has issued an alert that criminal scammers may try to take advantage of young teens and their families by tricking them into handing over sensitive personal information.

“With many young people reporting a sense of

isolation because of the ban, they become the perfect target for scammers,” Ms Kennedy said.

“The organisation warns scammers may pretend to be a social media platform or age verification provider and ask youngsters to verify their age or risk losing their account.

“The scammers could also target family or friends of the teen, asking them to provide personal information so that they can verify a person’s age.

“The scammers may try scare tactics, by pretending to be from the government or the police, saying you have breached the new laws and will be fined unless you provide proof of age, such as passport, birth certificate or driving licence details.

“They could offer fake IDs or age-verified accounts to use for a fee. Once the scammers have someone’s private information, they can use it to break into bank accounts, PayPal or money transfer outlets.”

Ms Kennedy says it is important to be able to identify suspicious emails. Generic greetings, urgent language and poor grammar are all red flags.

Check the sender’s email address and never contact the sender through a phone number they have provided via email.

Never be rushed into making any payments or sharing information quickly, even if it is a family member saying they are in trouble and need money.

New online platform launched to support farmers Council has launched a new online networking space to support the growing interest in regenerative agriculture across the Tweed.

The Tweed Regenerative Agriculture Information Network (TRAIN) is now live on Council's Your Say Tweed website. The platform invites farmers, landholders and community members to share local knowledge, practical experiences and innovative ideas to help strengthen regenerative agriculture across the Tweed.

Council’s Sustainable Agriculture Project Officer Aiden Sloman said the platform acts as a central hub for collaboration.

“TRAIN is about empowering our local farming community to share what’s working, learn from each other and build a more resilient and connected agricultural future for the Tweed,” Mr Sloman said.

One of TRAIN’s key features is “TRAIN Talks”, a safe discussion forum where users can ask questions, share insights and connect with others tackling similar challenges. If you’re a local farmer, landholder or are

Gallery thriving, with a focus on: • artistic excellence – showcasing superb creativity • learning and engagement – sparking curiosity and connection • access and participation – making art for everyone • long-term sustainability – securing a bright future.

Now, we invite you to review the draft and share your thoughts. Have your say up to 28 January 2026.

Simple ways to waste less water 1. Find and fix your water leaks. Just one leaky tap can waste more than 30 L a day and a constantly running toilet 260 L a day.

2. Install water-efficient showerheads, taps and appliances with at least a 4-star water rating label.

3. Use a swimming pool cover every day and you’ll save up to 82 L a day.

4. Go easy on the hose. Watering the garden uses a massive 15 to 20 L a minute!

5. Keep your daily shower to 4 minutes.

You’ll save 9 L every minute you knock off.

Use just 160 litres a day to make sure there’s enough water to go around, including for our wildlife and natural environment. You’ll save money too.

Christmas & New Year Holiday Hours The hours for our services and facilities will change over the festive season, Here’s what you need to know: Council Offices Tweed Heads & Murwillumbah: • Closed from 4 pm Friday 19 December (phones are open until 4:30 pm) • Reopen 9 am Monday 5 January 2026 Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre: • Closed Christmas Day only • Open 9 am to 3:45 pm on public holidays, and as normal on all other days The JUNKtion Tip Shop: • Closed from 3:30 pm Saturday 20 December • Reopens 8:30 am Wednesday 7 January 2026

Pottsville Environment Park’s scenic track—soon to be upgraded for a safer, more enjoyable walking experience.

Two popular walking tracks in Pottsville Environment Park will undergo significant repairs and upgrades early next year, delivering a safer and more enjoyable experience for visitors.

The project will replace timber footbridges and boardwalks along the Melaleuca and Eucalyptus tracks, which were originally built in the 1980s.

New, durable materials have been selected to better withstand the park’s unique environmental conditions.

Funding for the works comes from the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, with additional contributions from Council. Due to the park’s environmental sensitivity and the approvals required, planning has taken time, and Council thanks the community for its patience during this process.

What to expect • start date: February 2026 • duration: approximately 4 months (weather permitting) • access: residents of Sea Breeze Estate and Koala Beach will still be able to reach Pottsville town centre via the park, as the section of the Melaleuca Track into town will remain open.

This initiative reflects Council’s ongoing commitment to protecting the Tweed’s natural environment while encouraging an active, healthy community for generations to come.

Bin Collections: • Household, park and street bins will be serviced as usual, even on public holidays!

Tweed Regional Aquatic Centres: • Operating on changed hours. Each centre is different, check trac.tweed.nsw.gov.au/pools for details Tweed Regional Museum: • Closed from Sunday 21 December until Thursday 8 January 2026 for Christmas holidays and the installation of a new exhibition • Re-opens on Friday 9 January at 10 am

TWEED RESIDENTS now have access to free, walk-in urgent health care, with the opening of a new Medicare Urgent Care Clinic at Tweed Heads South.

Member for Richmond Justine Elliot has welcomed the announcement, confirming the Tweed’s Medicare Urgent Care Clinic will operate from Tweed Health for Everyone at 33/35 Corporation Circuit, Tweed Heads South.

“The Urgent Care Clinic officially opened on Tuesday, December 16, and it will be open seven days a week and operating on extended hours,” she said.

“For urgent, but non-life-threatening care, just walk right in — no appointment needed. And best of all, it’s completely free.

“This was one of my key promises at the recent federal election. Promised, committed, delivered.”

The clinic is designed to treat urgent but non-life-threatening conditions, helping to ease pressure on local hospital emergency departments.

Conditions treated include minor injuries (sprains, simple fractures, cuts, burns); eye injuries and minor foreign body removal; infections (throat, urine, chest, skin); acute illness in adults and children;, IV fluids, wound care, basic fracture management; acute exacerbations of chronic conditions (asthma flare-ups, COPD flare-ups) and mental health support when safe to manage onsite The clinic treats all ages, including infants under 12 months, as long as their presentation falls within the clinical scope of the practitioners.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Medicare Urgent Care Clinics are a key part

Member for Richmond Justine Elliot is pleased to announce the new free Medicare Urgent Care Clinic at Tweed Heads South

of strengthening Australia’s health system.

“Labor is building Australia’s future with the largest investment in Medicare in over 40 years,” he said.

“Whether your family needs urgent or ongoing health care, under Labor, Medicare will be there for all Australians, in every community.

“Four in five Australians will live within a 20-minute drive of a bulk billed Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, once all Labor’s clinics are open.”

Health Minister Mark Butler said the clinics reflected the Albanese Government’s commitment to Medicare.

“Medicare Urgent Care Clinics are an Albanese Government initiative because we believe in Medicare and in free urgent care, fully bulk billed,” he said.

“You can’t trust the Liberals with Medicare: you can’t trust them to open Urgent Care Clinics and you can’t trust them to keep them open.”

The Tweed Medicare Urgent Care Clinic will operate seven days a week, 7.30am–7.30pm offering bulk-billed care for the local community.

Your 2025 Tweed year in review

By Jonathon Howard

THE NEWS came thick and fast over the past 12 months, with plenty of stories that helped shaped the Tweed Shire in 2025.

Storm cell carnage

Local emergency services were flat out after a supercell storm swept through the Tweed Shire on Thursday, January 16, downing trees and taking out power to thousands of residents, with the wild weather continuing into the weekend.

The storms saw NSW SES volunteers attend nearly 2,000 incidents and, in the Tweed Shire, volunteers worked through 61 jobs due to fallen trees from strong winds, earning praise for their help from grateful local residents.

Tweed Coast petition

Residents of Pottsville, Hastings Point, Round Mountain and Cabarita/Bogangar launched a petition to persuade Tweed Shire councillors to choose what they say is the best upgrade option of the Hastings Point Wastewater Treatment Plant (HPWTP).

Petition organisers say the failing, 40-year-old plant needs urgent modernisation to service the beachside suburbs, and not just a cheap, short-sighted “band-aid” fix.

Pickleball ban sparks outrage

Pottsville Beach Tennis Club introduced a by-law to ban the game of pickleball on its courts following a trial with pickleballers, sparking

outrage.

A protest against the ban took place at the Pottsville Oval on Saturday, February 1, when the ban came into effect.

Dumping grounds for stolen cars

Tweed Valley residents were concerned this year about an increasing number of joyriders in stolen vehicles, often from Queensland, which were set alight to destroy evidence and were often left languishing for weeks.

At the start of 2025, there were three vehicles found abandoned and burnt out, leaving locals frustrated and calling for authorities to “stake out the valley”.

Murwillumbah High School reopened

After years of speculation and uncertainty for local students, Murwillumbah High School reopened to the delight of many past and present students.

The merger of Wollumbin High and Murwillumbah High, and subsequent de-merger, resulted in several students coming forward to the media this year demanding an ATAR adjustment and acknowledgment of the hardships they endured.

Fire ant threat

Fire ants spread to the Tweed Shire in 2025 and many residents expressed concerns about the use of chemicals, which if used incorrectly, can harm wildlife and marine life.

However, the flip side of not treating fire ants would be a catastrophe for the Tweed and Northern NSW, prompting a lot of debate in the community.

Fire ants were detected on a Tweed Shire Council lot in the South Murwillumbah industrial estate, which triggered a five-kilometre emergency treatment and quarantine zone.

Ministerial appointments for Janelle Saffin MP

Hardworking Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin was sworn into three ministerial roles during a ceremony at Parliament House in Sydney on Monday, March 17.

Ms Saffin is the Minister for Recovery, the Minister for Small Business and the Minister for the North Coast.

Premier Chris Minns talked about the difficult time Northern Rivers residents have had getting back on their feet after recent floods and highlighted Ms Saffin’s relentless advocacy, sometimes “with sharp elbows” but “always with the best interest of her community at heart”.

Justine Elliot retains seat of Richmond

Member for Richmond Justine Elliot retained the federal seat at the

May 2025 election.

The result confirmed Ms Elliot’s continued representation following a strong campaign on health and bulk billing, with Labor recording a swing in its favour.

T he outcome reinforces her long-standing position in the electorate, which she has represented since 2004.

Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connor retires

After leading Sunshine Sugar since 2008, Chris Connors retired as CEO this year with Adam Viertel appointed as his successor in July 2025.

Mr Connors leaves a legacy of innovation, strong grower relationships and a focus on sustainability.

animals on May 8 and an afternoon tea for Tweed volunteers on May 27.

They also welcomed a new Animal Rehoming Facility alongside Tweed Shire Council in South Murwillumbah, which opened in December.

Exciting year for local schools

Two of the Tweed Shire’s oldest schools, Tumbulgum Public School and Condong Public School, were rebuilt in 2025.

Students from both schools returned to their permanent classrooms in December.

Condong Public School and Tumbulgum Public School were damaged in the 2022 floods, with students attending their respective schools in temporary facilities over the past three years.

E-bike crackdown

A wave of new and fast e-bikes emerged across the Tweed this year with some tragic circumstances.

Several children have been killed on the devices and residents expressed outrage at the lack of limitations on the bikes, some of which can travel up to 70km per hour.

Residents continue to demand strong enforcement and legislative changes for their safety and the safety of riders.

Friends of the Pound turns 25 and new pound

It was another massive year for Friends of the Pound which marked 25 years of rescuing and rehoming

Parking pains

The parking situation remained a major headache for residents and business owners, with the multi-level car park in Murwillumbah remaining under limited parking while awaiting repairs.

Storm destruction

Cyclone Alfred

Housing blues

An 80-year-old farmhouse at Wooyung was destroyed in a storm on January 23, as a young family huddled inside, with winds reaching 119 km/h and the roof landing on Wooyung Road. Many long-time residents said it was the worst storm they had ever seen. The M1 was blocked by fallen trees, 21,000 people lost power and a father who had just dropped his child at kindy at Tweed Heads had a miraculous escape when a giant gumtree fell on his car in the car park.

Leagues club shock

Bringing waves up to 16 metres — the highest on record — cyclonic winds and huge tidal surges over several days in early March, Cyclone Alfred saw evacuations, boats destroyed, trees land on homes in places like Koala Beach and Tanglewood, and devastating erosion on local beaches. The only ones who seemed to be enjoying it were the surfers who crossed the Tweed River bar to take on some epic swells at Kirra.

Yacht aground

Norths Collective pulled out of amalgamation plans with Cudgen Leagues Club in February, but it turned out they were already in trouble financially after splashing out buying and renovating several clubs.

Norths CEO Luke Simmins quit in July, with the Bangalow Bowlo shut without notice in November.

The new Norths CEO, seeking to pay down $30 million in debt, announced in November they were in the process of selling Seagulls Tweed Heads to Twin Towns, leaving Cudgen without a leagues club five and a half years after

The Tribasa Cross ran aground on Cook Island on April 22, with a Westpac Rescue Helicopter crewman winched down to the double-masted yacht in the dark to rescue the two crew. The yacht subsequently broke up with debris washing ashore at Letitia Spit. In November, a former pilot boat broke from a mooring and landed on the rocks in the same spot

92.5mm.

E-bike accident

The Richmond electorate made news nationwide when CoreLogic named it “the least affordable place to rent in the country and the hardest place to buy a home.”

While many renters have been forced to move to other areas, plenty of locals gave up on their dream of buying in the Tweed altogether.

Father-of-three Tom Evans suffered multiple fractures and had his life changed forever when he was sent flying through the air after being hit by an e-bike at Casuarina on May 16. Friends started a fundraiser to help provide for Tom and his family during what was expected to be a long recovery.

Shark attack

Kings Forest

An off-duty paramedic came to the rescue of a young man whose arm was seriously injured by a shark which bit him five times in the cove at Cabarita Beach on June 29. Witnesses say the shark seemed to be following an injured seal into the cove. In August Brad Ross had a miracle escape in the same spot when a white shark bit his board in half as he sat on it.

Rainfall records

After a wet start to the year, rainfall records tumbled at Boat Harbour (356mm — the wettest place in NSW in April) and North Murwillumbah (305mm), far above long-term averages for April, with Eungella recording its highest ever daily rainfall total,

Developer Stockland bought the Kings Forest residential development, expected to house around 11,000 people, from Leda billionaire Bob Ell for around $ 6 2 0 m i l l i o n in August.

Leda still has approval for another big development at Cobaki, near the airport.

Varroa hits bees

The deadly varroa mite saw hives collapsing across the shire in November, with fears for the future of Australia’s agricultural food security, as one in three food items produced in the country relies on honey bee pollination. The mite is believed to have come into the country at the Port of Newcastle with imported beehives, with cuts to Australia’s biosecurity coming under the spotlight and the future costs excepted to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Aged care approval

The state government approved the $219.5 million Uniting Kingscliff redevelopment on November 27, saying it aligns with the government’s commitment to increase housing, despite widespread local concerns particularly around flooding and the size of the development.

World title

Fingal Head sur fer Dane Henry went backto-back at the 2025 ISA World Surf ing Games, winning gold in the Mens Open (last year he won gold in the under 18s) and helping Australia to the team gold medal (last year he won gold in the under 18s and captained the team to gold in the juniors). He was named Australian Male Surfer of the Year (Molly Picklum won the women’s), alongside HPC Casuarina coach Adam Dufner, who won Coach of the Year.

Hastings Point approval

After around 40 years of trying to get a development approved on the edge of the creek in Hastings Point, developers finally succeeded on appeal in getting approval for a 13-lot development locals fear will exacerbate flooding in the area. It was the tenth court case over the development, with the development being refused nine times previously in court.

MURWILLUMBAH DISTRICT Hospital and Tweed Valley Hospital have continued to manage strong demand across emergency and planned care services, as hospitals across the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) experienced one of their busiest quarters on record.

According to the latest Bureau of Health Information Healthcare Quarterly Report (July–September 2025), emergency departments across the NNSWLHD recorded 56,905 attendances, alongside the highest number of ambulance arrivals ever seen across the health district.

NNSWLHD Director Clinical Operations Lynne Weir said staff had performed exceptionally well despite sustained pressure on services.

“We’re continuing to see very high activity and our staff are doing an exceptional job of working collaboratively to ensure patients get the right care, in the right place, and in a timely fashion,” Ms Weir said.

“I want to thank and commend our staff, from clinicians, to administration and support staff, and cleaners and wards people, who work tirelessly to deliver high-quality care to all NNSWLHD patients.”

At Murwillumbah District Hospital, emergency department (ED) performance remained particularly strong. The hospital recorded 4,716 attendances during the quarter, with almost nine in 10 patients (89.4 per cent) starting treatment on time — well above the NSW average for similar-sized hospitals. Of patients who did not require admission or transfer, 90.5 per cent were discharged within four hours of arrival. Ambulance transfer times were also strong, with 97.1 per cent of patients handed over to emergency staff within the 30-minute benchmark.

Planned surgery activity at Murwillumbah also increased, with 342 surgeries performed during the quarter — an 11.4 per cent rise compared

with the same period last year.

Tweed Valley Hospital is continuing to see significant growth in demand following ongoing population growth in the region. The hospital recorded 14,742 ED attendances — a 4.3 per cent increase on the same quarter in 2024. Ambulance arrivals rose by 10.4 per cent to 3,250 patients, with nearly 80 per cent transferred from paramedics to ED staff within 30 minutes.

Despite the increased demand, Tweed Valley Hospital performed well against key benchmarks, with 78.6 per cent of ED patients starting treatment on time—well above the peer group average in NSW. Of those not requiring admission or transfer, 80.6 per cent were discharged within four hours. Planned surgeries also increased, with 1,063 procedures completed during the quarter.

Across the health district, ED treatment started on time for 72.7 per cent of patients, an improvement on last year and above the NSW average. Planned surgery activity increased by almost 12 per cent, with the vast majority of urgent surgeries completed within clinically recommended time frames.

Health authorities reminded the community that all patients are triaged on arrival at emergency departments, with the most seriously unwell treated first. During peak periods, patients with less urgent conditions may experience longer waits and are encouraged to seek advice through Healthdirect on 1800 022 222 for 24-hour health guidance.

The report also noted an increase in births across NNSWLHD, with 717 babies born during the quarter.

Murwillumbah Public School PROMOTING EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

Year 6 Farewelled at MPS Dinner and Dance The MPS Year 6 Class of 2025 was recently farewelled at the school’s annual dinner and dance, held in the school hall and attended by students, staff and families.

The hall was transformed with an elegant black and gold theme, featuring greenery and fairy lights adorning the tables. The evening followed long-standing traditions, beginning with a delicious dinner and dessert before students took to the floor for partner dancing.

Parents and carers were invited to join the celebration for the presentation of certificates and the ceremonial cutting of the cake. A highlight of the evening was the unveiling of the Year 6 artwork, which will be

permanently displayed in the school hall alongside artworks from previous graduating classes.

The event also included the presentation of the Year 6 gift to the school, marking the students’ final contribution before moving on to high school.

Students were dressed to impress in beautiful gowns and smart attire, adding to the special atmosphere of the night. The dinner and dance provided a memorable farewell for the Class of 2025 and a fitting celebration of their time at MPS.

Local teen talent

By Rada Campbell

A SURPRISE musical talent emerged at a recent local book launch, when a quiet piano performance stopped the room and left many asking the same question — who is this young musician?

The answer was Leo Lush, a 17-year-old singer-songwriter whose understated set quickly became the night’s standout moment. With floppy blonde hair, a calm stage presence and a soft indie-acoustic sound, Lush delivered a confident performance well beyond his years.

“This was only my third ever gig,” Lush told The Weekly, still surprised by the response.

He describes his style as singer-songwriter with an indie edge, built around piano and voice rather than production.

“I wouldn’t really call it pop,” he said. “It’s more acoustic and honest.”

His musical influences span generations. “I’m a big fan of albums,” he said. “Nina Simone is one of my favourites. I also love Del Water Gap. But my taste is really broad, if it feels real, I’m into it.”

Although Lush has played music in some form since childhood, he has only focused seriously on singing and piano for the past two years.

Much of his playing is intuitive rather than technical.

“I’m not really a piano player,” he said. “My mum is. I just play by ear”.

That instinctive approach has already led him onto larger stages. Last year he appeared as Harry in Mamma Mia, an experience that confirmed music was more than a hobby. “After that show, I felt really connected,” he said. “Music has always been a big part of my family’s life.”

Next, Lush will step into the role of the Beast in Beauty and the Beast, giving local audiences another chance to see a rising talent in action.

Beauty and the Beast opens Wednesday, 25 to 29 March, at Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School, 86 Mahers Lane, Terranora.

Drawing the winning ticket for the rocking horse at Village Hardware

rock ‘n’ roll

FREE STEVIE & THE TAIL FINS

Men’s Shed raffle THE LUCKY winner of a beautiful rocking horse, created for a fundraiser for the Pottsville and District Men’s Shed, was drawn at Village Hardware on Monday, December 15.

Brian Mackney spent months working on the rocking horse, which is made from beech and marine ply.

“We are trying to raise funds for an extension of the shed and that’s really important to me,” Brian said.

“We started the shed with 38 members in 2018 and we now have 105 members and the space we have now simply isn’t enough.

“We go three days a week and it’s all about mental, social and physical wellbeing.”

The lucky winner was a Potty local.

Pottsville and District Men’s Shed secretary Glenn Mackay said they drew the raffle at Village Hardware, Pottsville, because the owners had been a great supporter of their work.

“The boys generously donated the third prize, a belt sander, and they’ve been supporting the Men’s Shed.

“The owner, Brent, took over the shop about two years ago and he’s done a fantastic job.

“The display is better than it’s ever been, the store is clean and tidy, and the men know where the stock is.

“It’s a great place to shop and we really appreciate their support of the Men’s Shed.”

Dinosaur show wins

By Rada Campbell

95218 Kingscliff Beach Bowl Club HP

TWEED REGIONAL MUSEUM has taken out top honours at the 2025 IMAGinE Awards, winning the Exhibition Projects category for its record-breaking show, How to Draw a Dinosaur.

The exhibition has now become the most visited in the museum’s history and is being celebrated statewide as a benchmark for what regional cultural institutions can achieve.

Late last month, museums, galleries and Aboriginal cultural organisations from across NSW gathered at the University of Sydney for the annual IMAGinE Awards. Tweed Regional Museum’s win placed it among an impressive list of institutions recognised for innovation and excellence.

How to Draw a Dinosaur combined authentic fossils, cutting edge paleontological research and striking artworks to create an experience that blurred the line between science and imagination. Visitors were invited to design and project their own dinosaurs in playful hands-on installations. The exhibition also featured Encounters by Craig Walsh, a digital artwork that projected prehistoric creatures into the Tweed River from Murwillumbah Bridge, transforming the waterway into a scene lost for millions of years.

Museum Director Molly Green said the award reflected the ambition behind the project.

“This was about more than dinosaurs,” she said. “It was about curiosity, creativity and connection. We wanted to show that regional museums can deliver bold, innovative experiences that rival metropolitan institutions, and the response has been incredible.”

The results speak for themselves. More than 40,000 people visited the exhibition. That is a 131 per cent increase in overall visitation.

Fifty-five per cent were first time visitors and 42 per cent travelled from outside the Tweed, boosting local tourism and the economy. More

than 4,000 unique dinosaurs were created by visitors, and 1,200 people took part in workshops, family events and a sold out Museum Up Late Dino Party. The museum also recorded an 891 per cent jump in digital reach.

Supported by a Create NSW Regional Touring Grant, How to Draw a Dinosaur is now touring to Newcastle, Albury, Wagga and Bathurst.

Also recognised at the IMAGinE Awards was the Bulaan Buruugaa Ngali exhibition, curated

by Bundjalung artist Kylie Caldwell and presented through Arts Northern Rivers. It received the Exhibition Projects Galleries (Medium) Award for its work honouring cultural continuity and reviving weaving traditions across the region.

A SET of brightly coloured lanyards. Clear role descriptions. Tools simple enough for anyone in a disaster to pick up, put on and start helping. That’s the heart of the new Community Emergency Hub Guide launched in Uki, and the simplicity is exactly what makes it powerful.

The guide, created by Resilient Uki with input from 10 towns across the Northern Rivers, gives locals a ready-to-go structure for the frantic hours and days after a cyclone, storm or flood.

It has been designed to work with or without power, phone service or official support, allowing ordinary residents to open and run a temporary emergency hub long before services can reach isolated areas.

The launch took place on Monday, December 8, in Uki, where volunteers tested the system, allocated the lanyards and walked through how a hub operates in real conditions. As photos were being taken, community members passing by were quick to step in, ask questions and take part, a familiar sight in a region built on neighbours helping neighbours.

Project manager Bec Talbot shares that for many residents, the project carries the memory of the 2022 floods, when people across the shire relied on each other for information, rescues and basic support. Seeing a system that removes

the guesswork resonated strongly.

“This guide gives communities something we didn’t have last time, a calm starting point,” Bec told The Weekly. “When everything feels chaotic, clarity is the most powerful tool you’ve got.”

The Hub Guide is adapted from successful models used in Wellington and the Yarra Ranges, but its Northern Rivers edition has been shaped specifically for local realities: power outages, isolated pockets, damaged roads and long waits for emergency crews. Role cards, checklists and templates give volunteers stepby-step direction so the hub can open safely, register public needs and coordinate offers of help.

Local resilience groups from Bangalow to Pottsville contributed feedback throughout 2025, drawing on lived experience to refine the system. Many said the lanyards alone would have made a major difference during past events, replacing confusion with structure.

In a place shaped by disaster but defined by its people, this simple system of lanyards may become one of the Northern Rivers’ most important tools.

The Community Emergency Hub Guide and full resource pack are now free for all communities through the Resilient Uki website: resilientuki. org

Lava Arts Festival ignites Lakes beat

By Rada Campbell

LAVA ARTS FESTIVAL is now open for the inaugural Lava Arts Festival, a bold new winter arts event set to transform Murwillumbah in 2026.

Running from June 26 to 28, 2026, the three-day festival will activate Murwillumbah and surrounding villages with contemporary, place-driven art inspired by the Tweed’s volcanic landscape.

The festival builds on the long-running Murwillumbah Arts Trail, reimagined for a broader audience and a changing creative landscape.

Public officer Byron Coathup said the shift came after nearly a decade of the Arts Trail and extensive community consultation.

“After almost 10 years and with a newly formed committee, we felt it was the right time to interpret MAT and direct it towards larger audiences,” Byron told The Weekly.

“Murwillumbah is a great town with such rich history and cultural value, and community feedback showed that change was in the air.”

Expressions of Interest are open to artists across all disciplines, with organisers keen to unite established local creatives with new voices.

“We encourage all creatives from all backgrounds and walks of life to apply,” Byron said. “This first iteration of LAVA is about uniting the past legacy of MAT while creating space for artists to present new work and experiment.”

The festival will feature both indoor and outdoor exhibitions, embracing community

spaces and the surrounding landscape.

Two application pathways are available.

One EOI stream will see 3 Tweed Shirebased artists selected to receive a stipend for research and development, along with curatorial support and a venue to present their work. A second stream supports group shows, organisations and individual artists, with a small exhibition fee for successful applicants.

Byron said the funded artist stream was designed to demonstrate what is possible when artists are properly supported.

“We want to show what artists can do when given freedom, support and some funding,” he said. “Paid opportunities are essential to keeping festivals unique, new and exciting.”

Expressions of Interest are open over summer and close on February 1, 2026. Details and application guidelines are available at lava-arts.com.au

Cudgen

By Jo Kennett

LAVA ARTS Artist EOI Launch President Kirsten Devitt and Public Officer Byron Coathup

LAVA Arts Artist EOI Launch at M|Arts Precinct

ROUND NINE of the LJ Hooker League on Saturday, December 13, saw a surprise win from Terranora Lakes, taking down perennial finalists Cudgen at Bilambil, with comp leaders the Colts also getting a win over Casino thanks to some great bowling.

Terranora won the toss and elected to bat, and they got off to a good start with the openers — 20 (Hasan), 21 (Mohammed) 56 (the top score from Mitch Sales) and 35 from Matt Sutton.

They were 9/205 at the end of the 40 overs.

Mitch Paterson took 3/54, while an unnamed player took 3/32 while Michael Anderson took 2/21.

Jack Minehan took the first scalp with a duck for Nathan Croft, but it took 88 runs from 82 balls to get Callum Gall out, which nearly won Cudgen the game but they just didn’t get enough back up runs, and were all out for 195, with Mineham taking 3/35 while Sandeep Chauhan took 2/25.

Pottsville played Alston-

ville at home, winning the toss and bowling first.

Max Mathews was the top bowler taking 2/13, with Alstonville 9/177 at the end of the 40 overs.

Unfortunately the Pelicans came up against some good bowling from the visitors, and, despite a 45 from Menzie Tucker and a 36 from Harry O’Brien, Potty was all out for 156.

Tweed Banora Colts played Casino away, winning the toss and batting first.

Up against some of the best bowlers in the league, Sam Powell opened with 39, while Jock Vivers scored 25, with the Colts all out for 135.

Vivers proved critical with the ball, taking a golden duck straight up and 3/6, while Ben Thoms took 4/29. Thoms got a golden duck as well and Kade Wood got a duck too (1/14) with Casino all out after 28 overs with just 78 runs.

Have a fantastic break everyone and we look forward to more fun and games in 2026.

Join Tweed Coast Tigers AFL in 2026 PREPARATIONS FOR the Tweed Coast Tigers’ AFL men’s and women’s 2026 seasons are well underway, with both squads putting in a solid training block in the lead-up to Christmas. Returning players, new recruits and aspiring juniors are all invited to get involved in the fitness, fun and mateship.

The women’s squad, which will be aiming for their third premiership in four years, will be led by long-time Tiger Chantelle Brown.

Training sessions at Beaumont Tiles Oval, Round Mountain Road, Bogangar will focus on skills, drills and plenty of fun, supported by a welcoming group of players.

All skill levels are encouraged to attend, beginners welcome and the squad is open to anyone aged 17 and over, with no upper age limit.

New senior men’s coach Cam Campbell has overseen a strong pre-season so far, with a huge turnout for the team’s first training session.

The men’s training schedule is: Tuesdays: 6.15pm at Bogangar and Saturdays: 8am at some of the North Coast’s most scenic beaches.

The squad’s final session for the year will be held on Tuesday, 23 December, followed by a barbecue.

Club president Andrew Ryan, who oversaw the senior coaching appointments for both programs, had this to

say about the choices: “Chantelle and Cam are both quality individuals who are equally focused on the people’s side as well as the football side of our players,” he said.

“They both have incredible resumes to step up into these positions in 2026, and the club is looking forward to supporting their programs.”

For more information, visit and follow the club’s social media pages — Facebook ‘Tweed Coast Tigers’ or Instagram ‘tweedtigers’ — or simply turn up ready to get involved.

Don’t wait until the new year to get fit — kickstart your fitness now and be ready, fast and strong, for the season ahead.

The triple premiership winning Casuarina women’s team

Play rugby at Casuarina Rugby Club THE CASUARINA Rugby Club, affectionately known as the Baa Baa’s, is aiming to make 2026 their most historic season yet, building on a foundation of spectacular success across all grades in 2025.

The club is issuing a rallying cry for players, coaches, and sponsors to join, “the only dedicated rugby club in the Tweed Shire,” as they celebrate significant anniversaries.

Last season proved the Casuarina Baa Ba’s are a force to be reckoned with.

The junior club enjoyed unparalleled success, with all teams from Under 12s through to Under 16s making their respective grand finals.

At the senior level, the men’s 2nd Grade secured a coveted premiership title, while the flagship 1st Grade team finished a credible third place

in a highly competitive competition.

The 2026 season will be doubly significant as the senior club celebrates its 10th Anniversary, and the junior club marks an incredible 25th year of developing local talent.

To honor these milestones and push for the ultimate prize—the 1st Grade premiership—the Baa Baa’s are launching a major recruitment effort.

Recruitment Officer Casey Calder is currently busy building the roster across all grades. Casuarina offers one of the most comprehensive club structures on the Far North Coast, with teams catering to every age and skill level: Juniors: Teams from Under 6s through to Under 16s.

Seniors: Colts (Under 18s), a competitive women’s 1st Grade team, and men’s 1st and 2nd Grade teams.

“We are always welcoming new players to the club, whether you are picking up a ball for the first time or looking to elevate your game,”club co-president, Brian Laybutt said.

“We have great facilities and an incredibly supportive community—join us and be part of the Tweed Shire’s only dedicated rugby club!”

Success on the field is driven by strong leadership.

The club is also actively seeking expressions of interest from experienced and passionate individuals to fill coaching roles across all senior grades.

Anyone who would like to assist the Baa Baa’s’ senior campaign is encouraged to make contact.

The club also welcomes new sponsors.

Real Estate FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

AG E NT O F TH E W E E K

OUR Agent of the Week is Rob Yette, Sales Consultant at Elders Real Estate Tweed Valley, who has built deep roots in the community as owner, with wife Klaudia, of the much-loved Saltbean Cafe in Salt Village.

Rob has taken that same quality service, authenticity and love of the Tweed Shire and community with him into the real estate industry. We caught up with him to find out more.

How long have you lived in the Tweed and what inspired you to move here?

We have called Kingscliff and the Tweed home for 16 years.

Our move from Melbourne was really driven by providing a better lifestyle for our young daughter at the time. The coastline, the village feel, the community spirit and the balance between the beach and the hinterland all pulled us in.

Before you were a real estate agent what was the most interesting/ unusual job you had?

I spent years owning and running cafes and hospitality venues plus a long stint in commercial print. Hospitality in particular teaches you a lot about people and service and handling pressure with a smile. It gave me a really strong foundation for the client side of

2025 in review

real estate.

What inspired you to go into real estate?

I genuinely enjoy working with people and I love the idea of guiding someone through a big moment in their life. Property has always been something I have followed closely and the more time I spent talking with locals about their homes and their plans the more it made sense to step into the industry myself.

What is your favourite part about being an agent?

My favourite part of being an agent is the human side. Every day is different. You build real relationships with clients, you help them solve problems, you get to see the excitement when deals come together and you get to be part of local stories.

Who are you seeing looking for property locally at the moment?

We are seeing a mix of first home buyers trying to get into the Tweed before it grows further and plenty of sea changers coming from Brisbane and Sydney. There is also solid demand from families who want lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. On the selling side there is a wave of downsizers wanting something easier, plus

people cashing in to relocate for work or lifestyle. The Tweed is still attractive across all price points which keeps the market moving.

Do you have any sort of area you specialise in or are most passionate about?

I have a real connection to the coastal strip around Kingscliff to Pottsville and the wider Tweed Coast as that’s where I have lived and worked for years so have great ties with our community through our cafe in Kingscliff and ongoing support of community sport. I do have a soft spot for the hinterland; I think it’s the romance of farm life and freedom of space.

How can people best get a foot on the property ladder?

I always suggest getting clear on your budget early and speaking with a good broker.

Look at properties that have potential even if they are not perfect on day one. Be ready to act when something suits your plan because preparation makes a huge difference.

Have your agency seen in our dedicated real estate section.

RATE CUTS in February, May and August, as inflation got down below three per cent, generally sent Aussie property prices up, but across the Tweed Shire they were all over the shop.

Tweed Heads property prices jumped 30.6 per cent over 2025 with house prices rising from around $1.3 million in January to a median of $1,697,500 this December, while units seemed to have maxed out around $860,000, slightly down if anything, possibly due to affordability constraints.

Murwillumbah houses, on the other hand (median $880,000

by December) were only up 1.7 per cent and units were down 8.2 per cent (now 660K after peaking close to $720,000 in January).

Kingscliff houses were down 6.5 per cent to a median of $1,892,500, with units up 4.3 per cent to 980K. Casuarina homes were up 6.5 per cent to a $2.2 million median, with units up 9.9 per cent over the year to

$1,275,000.

Pottsville’s median price $1,413,500 (one of the few places lower than 2022) rose 3.9 per cent, while units jumped 8.9 per cent to $940,000.

There was also a panic for investors to buy before the government’s 5% Deposit Scheme came in, which saw a significant price jump through September and into October when it opened.

There is now a rush on with the government’s Help to Buy scheme, which is likely to push prices up again into the new year.

Inflation shot up again in the third quarter, thanks to ever increasing rents, construction and insurance costs, corporate profit gouging and electricity costs, with Michelle Bullock signalling rates are just as likely to go north as south in 2026.

That’s not so great for buyers and may slow the market, but with prices up it’s a great time for sellers. All the best for a wonderful new year!

The Agency Kirra Tweed –

Is It Time for a Fresh Approach to Property Management?

At The Agency Kirra Tweed, we’re passionate about delivering a more personalised, proactive service for landlords across the Southern Gold Coast and Tweed Shire.

Too often, we hear from property owners who feel overlooked — frustrated by high staff turnover, poor communication, long vacancy periods, or feeling like just another number. We believe landlords deserve better.

Krystal Camp 0428 456 886

As a boutique, community-focused agency backed by a national brand, we offer dedicated property managers, seamless communication, and strategies that get results — fast. Best of all, switching to us is simple — and you don’t have to wait until lease renewal.

If your property isn’t getting the care or return it deserves, reach out today for a free rental appraisal and property health check.

INTRODUCING

Caillon Place

6 Ivory Crescent, Tweed Heads

Perfectly positioned in a quiet, tightly held street in the heart of Tweed Heads, Caillon Place is a boutique residential development now well advanced in construction and at lock-up stage. Already generating strong interest from buyers, this exclusive project is quickly emerging as one of the area’s most anticipated new addresses for lowmaintenance coastal living.

Now Under Construction – A Boutique Collection of Coastal Residences in an Unrivalled Location.

With only a limited number of residences available, each home has been carefully designed to maximise light, space, and everyday functionality. Generous open-plan interiors, quality finishes, and a refined coastal aesthetic combine to create homes that appeal to downsizers, first home buyers, and investors alike. As demand continues to build, opportunities to secure a residence at Caillon Place are becoming limited.

Ideally located just moments from the Tweed River, Tweed Mall Shopping Centre, Jack Evans Boat Harbour, and the iconic beaches of Coolangatta, Caillon Place offers an exceptional lifestyle of convenience and calm. Enjoy easy access to acclaimed dining, boutique shopping, scenic walking tracks, and the Gold Coast International Airport - all just minutes from your doorstep.

With construction progressing and interest strong, now is the time to register your interest to secure your place in this exciting new chapter of Tweed Heads living.
