Tweed gun buyback in 2027 A PRIVATE CREMATION - $2,750 includes GST -

TWEED GUN owners will be among thousands across NSW affected by the biggest gun buyback scheme in a generation, with Tweed Heads Police Station to begin accepting eligible firearms and ammunition from February 8, 2027. The scheme will operate for 12 months, with eligible licence holders required to book through the NSW Police Gun Safe online portal. Please note, walk-in firearm surrenders will not be accepted. The Minns Labor Government announced on Monday, October 26, that bookings for the National Gun Buyback Scheme were opening, with the first firearms to be surrendered at selected Sydney police stations from November 2. However, Tweed gun owners will have to wait until the fourth stage of the rollout, with local bookings opening on November 24. The scheme follows sweeping firearms reforms introduced after the antisemitic terror attack at Bondi Beach, which claimed 15 lives. NSW Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism Yasmin Catley said the buyback would help prevent dangerous weapons falling into the wrong hands.

The table above shows payment under the Buyback Scheme. You may also be eligible for a single $150 payment when surrendering at least 1kg of ammunition.

“Fewer guns in the community mean a safer community. It means fewer guns at risk to fall into the wrong hands. It’s that simple,” Ms Catley said. “After 15 innocent people were killed at Bondi, we had to act and we did. We’ve strengthened gun laws, increased oversight and reduced risk.” Under the reforms, recreational hunters and those holding licences for vermin control will be restricted to four firearms, while primary producers, sporting shooters and certain other licence holders will generally be permitted up to 10. Other changes include mandatory safe storage inspections, compulsory membership of approved gun clubs, stronger identity checks and reducing firearms licence periods from five years to two.

Eligible owners will receive compensation under a fixed price schedule. The government is also considering exemptions allowing certain sporting shooters and professional pest controllers to apply to exceed the 10-firearm limit. Ms Catley said the scheme was a major public safety undertaking. “These are tough decisions, but this is a government that puts community safety first,” she said. “The (gun) buyback is a significant undertaking in public safety. NSW Police across the state are well placed and trained to safely and securely deal with the surrender and destruction of firearms.” For further information, phone the NSW Gun Buyback hotline on 1800 131 555, Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm.

Grandmother faces sleeping rough By Jonathon Howard

00531 Janelle Saffin 9x6col

GRANDMOTHER MELINDA Laidlaw, who has called a converted Toyota Hiace van home for the past three years, a mechanical breakdown in the Tweed Shire has left her facing the frightening prospect of sleeping on the streets from Saturday, October 31. With no emergency accommodation available and repair costs estimated at up to $12,000 for her van, Melinda says she’s running out of options. Originally from Far North Queensland, Melinda lives with an acquired brain injury and survives on the Disability Support Pension after losing her rental home in 2023. “In 2023, during the rental crisis, my rent went up from $400 to $750 a week and I became homeless,” Melinda told The Weekly. “On 25 September 2023 I bought a 2001 Toyota Hiace and made it my home.” Melinda converted the van into a makeshift home, installing a small kitchen which she has even used to support others experiencing homelessness. “I built a little kitchen in the back and have used it to help feed other homeless people,” she said. However, after travelling to the Tweed to

support her daughter and spend time with her new granddaughter, disaster struck. Her van broke down, with RACQ identifying a blown head gasket and recommending a replacement engine. A mechanic has since quoted between $7,500 and $12,000 for repairs, forcing Melinda to list her beloved home for sale on Gumtree, with the possibility of selling it to wreckers. Melinda has booked a bed in a six-person female hostel dormitory until Saturday but says she cannot afford the ongoing costs. “I’ve booked the hostel until Saturday, but I can’t afford $450 or more a week by myself for a safe night’s sleep in a six-bed shared female dorm,” she said. “There’s no emergency accommodation available, so I’ll be on the streets from Saturday.” With hostel prices set to rise again in November, her situation has become increasingly desperate. Melinda has been waiting for social housing for more than three years and says she has still received no response from Housing NSW, despite intervention from her local MP’s office. “I still haven’t heard from Housing, even after my local MP’s office contacted them,” she said. She is now updating her GoFundMe

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.

Cane fires are safe and a Tweed spectacle

I lived the first 22 years of my life surrounded by sugar cane paddocks and we thought there was nothing more spectacular than watching the cane fires when the harvest started each year. After my marriage, my husband and I used to buy bagasse for our gardens, as did many other people in Murwillumbah. I am now 90 years old with no serious ill health effects from the sugar-cane fires. In fact, my mother lived in the middle of cane paddocks for most of her life and lived to be 96. Likewise, my father. One of my sons was a baby asthmatic, but it was not due to cane fires, rather the beautiful Alstonville tibouchina and rondeletia outside his bedroom window. We weren’t the only family living amidst the cane and many are still alive today with no ill effects. Cousins came from Brisbane to watch the spectacle of the cane fires. I thought that I read in recent edition of this paper that we were turning them into a tourist attraction? Delvene Bloomfield, Murwillumbah

Cane burning is part of Tweed’s fabric

I must take issue with Kathryn Edmunds Letter in The Weekly (TVW, October 22, Letters) as she denigrates the annual sugar cane burn-off. Kathryn, have you ever watched a sugar cane burn-off? They burn profusely for 15-20 minutes then it’s all over. Yes, a little ash might fall from the sky for an hour or two afterwards – but no big deal. I’ve lived at Kynnumboon for almost 40 years with all my neighbours being cane farmers and their burn-offs have never affected me whatsoever. In fact, I think they’re a sight to behold and a part of the fabric of the Tweed Valley.

93307 All Home 70x21cm

GAS & HOT WATER SPECIALISTS Electric, Gas, Solar & Solar Heat pumps You want the cane farmers to stop burning off? I would ask what’s next? With so many businesses struggling for survival in this day and age, I suggest you concentrate on more serious issues affecting this country right now – and burning-off sugar cane is not one of them. John Hurst, Kynnumboon

Cane farming’s important — but is cane burning?

I agree, we do need to discuss cane burning (Kathryn Edmunds, TVW, October 22, Letters). It must be acknowledged that cane farming is very important industry in the Tweed. This is why it is important to make it sustainable in the long run. To remain sustainable, it must work for both farmers and people who live in the Tweed. Murwillumbah and surrounds experience some levels of air pollution as cane is burned. When wind is low the dirty haze of smoke hangs over the valley. The adverse health effects of pollution for sugarcane burring are well known and vulnerable populations, including the elderly, children, pregnant women, and infants as having greater susceptibility to respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Farmers will say they have their reasons for burning but the health hazards as well and the environmental harm must be considered. Green harvesting is done successfully in other places with a similar climate to the Tweed. Some Tweed farmers know how to manage this process. It’s not good enough for farmers to say “we’ve always done it this way” to justify continuing. Owen Dixon, Terranora

Cane burning was here first and should remain

In response to Kathryn Edmunds letter to The Weekly (TVW, October 22) regarding cane burning. We moved from Sydney to the Mur-

willumbah area eight years ago, so we are not generational farmers from the area. However, given that cane has been grown and burnt around here for most likely more than 50 years, as with anyone else, you know what you are buying into. It is the same as buying near an airport or say a freeway, you can’t then complain about the noise. Yes, the ‘Tweed Valley Snow’ as the locals refer to the burnt cane that floats in the air, it is what it is and has always been. If that is the price we have to pay for living in paradise, which the Tweed Valley most certainly is, then it is a very small price to pay. Try living in Sydney or Melbourne for a bit and then come back here, I suspect your view may well change somewhat. As for your concerns regarding health risks, again try living in Sydney or Melbourne and personally I don’t quite buy into the argument I think there are bigger issues here and, in our country, to be concerned about but I agree and accept you are entitled to your opinion. Andrew Rice, Murwillumbah

Graffiti scourge needs addressing immediately

In response to the article covering graffiti (TVW, October 22, page 18) regarding the parlous state of our roadsides between the Queensland border and Chinderah, I would like to add my disgust at the lack of civic pride in this area. The M1 leading south onto the Kirkwood Road off-ramp is a mess of graffiti, rubbish, and a cursory killing of weeds - instead of clever plantings which need little maintenance. Also, heading in the opposite direction, the off ramp to Kennedy Drive from the M1 is a constant collection of dead birds and rubbish collecting in the corner and weeds that flourish. Surely the council (and Main Roads or those responsible) can use their

discretion and common sense to clean up these areas? While writing, I will also mention the road leading to the airport (the Gold Coast Highway) leaves a lot to be desired as many of your readers have highlighted. There are hoardings displaying the joys of the Tweed - surrounded by long grass and an unkempt roadside. Not a good welcome to our area when having arrived by plane. Christine Flood, Tweed Heads

Thank you to our kind paramedics teams

I have recently had contact with our local paramedics from Pottsville and Kingscliff and I cannot praise them enough for their kindness, empathy and quick response to helping me. They helped me through four different times of needing help with a bleeding nose. I live alone and due to the timing of the bleeds I needed professional help. Thank you. S Mills, Pottsville

Nullum House update after re-opening

Nullum House has reopened in Murwillumbah, providing a welcoming place for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness to access practical assistance and connect with support services.

nity Legal Service joined The Family Centre’s Connecting Home team to provide support. Participants were able to enjoy a hot breakfast, use a computer or mobile phone, charge their phones, receive a Murwillumbah Food Hub voucher and meet with visiting services. The reopening demonstrated the value of bringing services together in one place. A woman who had been living in her car for a year met with visiting services and, with support and advocacy from The Family Centre’s Connecting Home team, secured temporary accommodation in Tweed. Rory O’Shea, Nullum House Project Leader at The Family Centre, said the first day showed how much could be achieved when people and services worked together. “Nullum House is a place where people can feel welcome, have something to eat and connect with the support they need. Seeing someone walk away with a safe place to stay on our first day was a powerful reminder of why this service matters.” Nullum House operates on Tuesdays from 9am to 12pm, offering practical assistance and connections to housing, health and community services. The Family Centre thanks the volunteers and visiting services and Tweed Community Clubs who helped The Nullum House team are back in action

Sixteen people visited Nullum House on its first day, where volunteers welcomed participants and prepared breakfast. Visiting services HOTT, Social Futures, Homes NSW and the Commu-

Ted Bear Tree saved

By Jonathon Howard

TWEED RESIDENTS are celebrating a major victory after Tweed Shire councillors voted unanimously to save the iconic Ted Bear Tree at Terranora, ending months of uncertainty over the much-loved landmark’s future. The massive native white fig, which was famously saved by residents from road construction in 1975, will now be protected under a revised $18.69 million roundabout design for the intersection of Fraser Drive, Amaroo Drive and the proposed Broadwater Parkway. The decision at council’s monthly meeting on Thursday, October 22, has delighted community members who campaigned to protect the tree, with Cr Nola Firth describing the outcome as a “wonderful victory for residents and the environment”. “It’s a delightful relief that the amazing Ted Bear tree is now safe,” Cr Firth told The Weekly. “Following our previous council resolution requesting options to save the tree, staff recommended an option (Option 8)

that placed the road intersection further uphill and away from the tree.” Cr Firth moved the successful motion, seconded by Cr Chris Cherry, which received unanimous support. “Costs were not greatly different, especially if the value of the tree is factored in,” Cr Firth said. The tree’s estimated value ranges from $200,000 to almost $1 million, depending on the valuation method. Council officers assessed 10 intersection designs before recommending an offset roundabout, known as Option 8, which provides greater protection for the tree’s extensive root system. The towering fig, measuring more than four metres in diameter, has received the highest possible retention rating from arborists, who estimate it could survive for another 40 years or more. In June, councillors rejected its removal and requested alternative designs following strong community opposition. All 13 submissions subsequently received by Council supported retaining the tree. Cr Firth praised residents for speaking

up and highlighted the importance of protecting mature trees. “Happily, urban trees are being increasingly recognised in our community for the valuable green infrastructure they are,” she said. “They cool urban spaces, provide habitat for birds and insects and other wildlife, increase the value of nearby property, assist mental health and reduce air pollution and noise.” “So big thanks to the community for speaking up so clearly about the need to protect Ted Bear tree!” Cr Firth also encouraged residents to support Council’s Cool Towns Urban Forest Project by requesting trees for their nature strips. While the landmark tree’s future is now looking secure, funding for the broader road project remains unresolved, with $1 million currently allocated for detailed design and planning approvals.

Tweed Heads South residents living in fear Local residents are concerned about antisocial behaviour around Soorley Street

By Jo Kennett

RESIDENTS LIVING near a government-owned supported accommodation facility in Tweed Heads South say they are increasingly fearful for their safety, reporting alleged threats, property damage and drug-related activity as questions grow over site management. On Monday, October 19, a man allegedly climbed a fence from Shallow Bay Drive into a neighbouring property, threatened a resident and walked through the yard before leaving the area. According to residents’ accounts, the man swore at the homeowner and threatened to stab him. The resident warned others to take precautions, including keeping doors locked. Residents say the incident is part of a broader pattern of behaviour that has left some people feeling unsafe in their own homes. The Soorley Street accommodation facility is operated by community service organisation Social Futures for Homes NSW, providing supported temporary accommodation for vulnerable people experiencing homelessness.

was “so vandalised” it sat empty before being taken over by youths who used it for “nefarious activities” and threatened locals. “So many people have moved - the real estate agents just move their signs from one spot to another,” the resident said. Another neighbour said their back gate had previously been kicked in, allegedly because people were tired of climbing over it. They also reported seeing young people sitting in the middle of the road with a steel bar and said the group had been banging on doors and windows. The resident said police were aware of neighbourhood concerns but that cameras had not been installed at the time of the earlier incidents, making identification difficult.

Social Futures has acknowledged a separate incident on Thursday, October 15, involving a resident experiencing a personal crisis, saying staff worked with police and ambulance services to resolve the situation safely. However, neighbours say the anti-social behaviour is widespread, with calls for greater reassurance about security, behavioural management and the support being provided to people staying at the facility. One resident alleged that drugs were being sold outside the unit complex. Another resident, who had previously raised concerns about the facility and also didn’t want to be named, said the accommodation had not met their understanding of what was originally proposed. “Instead of short term accommodation for women over 55, domestic violence victims and children that it was declared to be, it’s full of drug addicts and mental health people of all ages,” the resident said. “The behaviour is horrendous.” The resident said they attended a meeting about the facility and “were assured there’d be no tolerance for substance abuse or bad behaviour. They said one duplex in the street

Property history report The property was previously a retirement complex run by Aveo with 70 self-contained, one-bedroom apartments. It was sold to a private buyer in 2023, leased by the state government and reopened as supported temporary accommodation. The NSW Government bought the site in 2025, which is operated by Social Futures in partnership with Homes NSW. The initiative was designed to provide accommodation and support for vulnerable people, particularly those aged 55 and over and people living with disability, giving them a place to stay and support to help them move towards stable, long-term housing.

Social Futures responds Social Futures acting chief executive Michael Carter said the organisation took community safety concerns seriously and recognised that emergency services attendance could be unsettling for residents and neighbours. “We understand that an emergency services presence can be unsettling for program participants and neighbours, and we take concerns about safety seriously,” Mr Carter said. He confirmed Thursday’s incident involved a participant experiencing a personal crisis. “Social Futures staff worked closely with police and ambulance services to resolve the situation safely, with appropriate care and support for the person, other participants, and staff,” he said. Mr Carter said people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity often arrived at the service during some of the most difficult periods of their lives. “Supported temporary accommodation goes beyond providing a roof for those in need,” he said. “We provide a specialist team to work with individuals and connect them with a range of support services to help them through the most difficult circumstances, creating a pathway to securing stable housing.” Residents are accepted into the facility through a referral and assessment process managed through Homes NSW. Behavioural concerns are assessed on a case-by-case basis and might be addressed through additional support. Complaints can be investigated as

part of the facility’s management processes. Neighbours can raise concerns directly with the service provider, including through its online feedback page at socialfutures.org.au/feedback or by calling 1800 719 625.

HOMES NSW STATEMENT A HOMES NSW spokesperson has confirmed the department is aware of an incident at a social housing complex in Soorley Street on October 15, praising the response of staff and emergency services in safely de-escalating the situation. “We are aware of an incident that took place at Soorley Street on October 15,” the spokesperson told The Weekly. “The actions of Social Futures’ staff, alongside emergency services, resulted in the situation being de-escalated safely.” The spokesperson said the site had staff present around the clock. “The site has a 24/7 onsite presence,” they said. “Social Futures is a valued partner of Homes NSW, and we are grateful for the role they play in providing safe and secure accommodation for those in need.” Homes NSW also confirmed it had delivered 75 new homes across the Tweed Shire since April 2023, with more than 100 additional homes in the pipeline. Construction commenced on 80 new units in Boyd Street in September, while planning is underway for a further 32 homes in Heffron Street.

Forever chemical response ‘disappointing’ “The government agreed to a full ban on PFAS in personal care and cosmetic products, with many already banned.”

Air Services Gold Coast Airport fire fighting units

By Jo Kennett

THE FEDERAL Government has been criticised for agreeing to just seven of 79 recommendations from a parliamentary inquiry into PFAS contamination, prompting concern among Tweed residents about the safety of local waterways and communities near Gold Coast Airport. The inquiry into the extent, regulation and management of PFAS in Australia reported in November 2025. The government’s response was tabled in Parliament on October 16, with 54 recommendations noted, 15 agreed to in principle and just seven fully agreed to. A Tweed Residents and Ratepayers Association spokesperson described the response as “extremely disappointing”.

“We remain so far behind with no forward thinking and future proofing,” the spokesperson said. PFAS, known as “forever chemicals” because they can persist in the environment for centuries, have been used in firefighting foam at Gold Coast Airport to extinguish jet fuel fires and in training exercises, exposing firefighters. Residents fear the chemicals could contaminate waterways, including Cobaki Broadwater, threatening fish, birds, coastal wildlife and people through the food chain. The spokesperson said some government responses were “far removed from what is actually occurring on the ground”. Airservices Australia (AA), responding to Recommendation 13, stated that it “administers remedia-

tion programs for sites under their jurisdiction”. “Yet nearly 18 years after significant PFAS contamination of groundwater at its fire training ground on the Gold Coast Airport site was found and kept under wraps, and more than a decade after PFAS contamination in Coolangatta Creek was confirmed in 2011, where is the clean-up?” the spokesperson said. “No remediation has taken place.” Groundwater PFAS levels at the training ground have reached 2,480 micrograms per litre, the spokesperson said, compared with adopted health and environmental criteria ranging from 0.00023 to 2.0 micrograms per litre. The spokesperson also questioned the independence of investigations overseen by the organisation responsible for the contamination. The 2016 Federal PFAS Inquiry, initially focused on Defence sites, was expanded to include civilian airports. However, AA’s submission and evidence failed to disclose known contamination at these sites, while a NSW audit that year found author-

ities had not been notified of known PFAS-contaminated sites. The spokesperson cited evidence from the CSIRO warning that “there remain significant knowledge gaps in PFAS distribution and scale across Australian geographic and climate conditions.” Recommendation 15, calling for monitoring of PFAS levels in the environment, including waterways and native wildlife, was merely “noted”. A recommendation to provide Medicare access to firefighters and others with high PFAS blood levels was also rejected. The spokesperson highlighted Australian firefighters’ research into reducing PFAS in their blood and limiting contamination spreading at affected sites, saying their work had received international recognition. The government did agree to reconsider statements suggesting health effects from PFAS exposure were generally small and unlikely to affect health outcomes. However, its response said relevant documents would be revised “as appropriate for the Australian context.” It also supported developing laws and policies to improve monitoring and enforcement of PFAS chemicals, particularly in imported products, and agreed to ban PFAS in personal care and cosmetic products and synthetic turf. However, the response states importers and users were responsible “to identify and manage environmental risks, share information, and ensure environmentally sound chemical storage and waste management, including

PFAS can persist in the environment for centuries

prompt responses to industrial chemical incidents.” PFAs is used in stain-resistant carpets, rugs, and upholstery (such as Scotchgard), water-resistant or waterproof apparel (such as Gore-Tex), personal care products, grease- and oil-resistant food wrappers and fastfood containers. The government agreed to a full ban on PFAS in personal care and cosmetic products, with many already banned. There was an agreement to ban PFAS from synthetic turf, but the use of pesticides containing the compounds wasn’t agreed to, with the report stating that products were only approved “where risks to people, animals, and the environment are considered acceptable.”

Pottsville break-ins E-bike debate continues to rage TWEED-BYRON Police are investigating a number of property offences believed to be committed between midnight and 4am on Saturday, October 17. There were also a number of property offences committed on Monday morning, October 19, in the same area. “We had two cars on Saturday night make their way down Overall Drive in Black Rocks,” local resident Brianna said. “They were breaking into houses and cars. “We had someone break into our garage and steal my bag. “Our neighbours had their car broken into and also multiple people in the next street. “Luckily we have a very good guard dog that alerted us to him in the garage and he ran away and dropped my bag out the back. “It was at 2.50am. We have CCTV footage from our neighbours about 10 houses down of them attempting a break in. “I think there were two carloads as we heard two cars driv-

ing off after my dog alerted us. “There were people in the next street that had items stolen but luckily for me I had no cash in my wallet so they just dumped the contents of my bag out on the footpath.” Locals reported cars broken into on Overall Drive in the Black Rocks area again on Monday morning, October 19, between 7am and 11am. One local said on social media that their car was parked in front of their home when the side window was smashed to gain access. It’s not known if anything was taken. If anyone has any CCTV footage depicting or identifying people involved, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: nsw.crimestoppers.com.au.

Thieves targetted Overall Drive in Pottsville last Saturday night and Monday morning

TWEED RESIDENTS concerned about dangerous e-bike riding have welcomed tougher police powers to seize illegal electric bicycles, but the crackdown has also sparked debate about the impact on responsible riders who rely on them for everyday transport. The warning follows growing concerns across the Tweed Coast about high-powered e-bikes, excessive speeds, riders without helmets and the risks posed to pedestrians and other road users. Kingscliff doctor Stephen Palin featured in a recent edition of The Weekly, highlighting dangerous and often illegal e-bike use and calling for greater enforcement to protect the public. Other Tweed residents have also raised concerns last week about young riders travelling at dangerous speeds and ignoring road rules. NSW Police Traffic and Highway Patrol Command confirmed new seizure laws came into effect on August 21, 2026, warning that many electric bicycles sold in Australia are not legal for public use. “Not all e-bikes sold in Australian shops or through online retailers are legal for road use,” police said. “E-bikes that operate at higher speeds, have high-powered motors (even if restricted by software), or do not require pedalling cannot be used in public places.” The police announcement attracted a strong response online, with some residents calling for tougher restrictions and others questioning whether responsible e-bike users were being unfairly targeted.

One commenter claimed to have seen an e-scooter keeping pace with a vehicle travelling at least 50km/h, while another described being overtaken by a young girl riding downhill at an estimated 60km/h with her helmet unfastened. “All of them need to be registered as a motorcycle,” the commenter said. Others questioned why the government was waiting until 2029 to introduce tighter motor power restrictions, with some calling for the sale of high-powered or easily modified e-bikes to be banned. There were also calls for parents to take greater responsibility for children riding illegal electric bicycles. However, not everyone supported the crackdown, with one 43-year-old rider explaining how a legally restricted e-bike had transformed their life. The rider said a medical condition prevented them from holding a driver’s licence, making their e-bike essential for taking two young daughters to school and daycare before travelling to work. “My life has changed in so many ways for the best,” the rider said. “My bike is restricted but will be illegal by 2029 because its restricted via a few buttons and is 500 watts. Sad for people like me really.” Under NSW regulations, an e-bike’s throttle cannot provide assistance above 6km/h without pedalling, while motor assistance must stop at 25km/h. The maximum permitted motor power is currently 500 watts, but this will reduce to 250 watts from March 1, 2029. Police warned that riders caught using illegal e-bikes could face significant pen-

NSW Police said they will seize illegal e-bikes

alties. “Use of these non compliant e-bikes can attract significant penalties and may be seized by police and authorised officers,” police said. Riders must also follow the same road rules as conventional cyclists, including wearing helmets, observing passenger restrictions and complying with footpath regulations. “If you are 16 years of age or older and are not supervising a child under 16 years of age who is riding a bicycle, you cannot ride on the footpath,” police said. The issue has become an increasing concern in popular Tweed coastal areas where pedestrians, families and cyclists share public spaces. Police urged parents and riders to check whether their e-bikes comply with NSW regulations before using them in public. “Non-compliant e-bikes present a significant safety risk, to the rider and other people present,” police said. “Remember, if you ride a non-compliant e-bike in a public place it can be seized and destroyed.” YOUR THOUGHTS: What are your thoughts on the use of e-bikes? Do you ride a legal e-bike to work or school? The Weekly would love to hear your thoughts via email: editor@theweekly.net.au

Two men died in accidents on the Pacific Motorway last Friday, October 23

TWO MEN have tragically died in separate crashes on the M1 Pacific Motorway around the same time on Friday morning, October 23. Emergency services were initially called to the Pacific Motorway, Chinderah, at around 11am following reports of a crash. Tweed-Byron Police officers attended and found that a utility had left the roadway before crashing into a tree. The driver – a man yet to be identified – was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics; however, he sadly died at the scene. A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner. As inquiries continue, anyone with information – including CCTV, mobile phone or dashcam vision – is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. A second accident happened around 15 minutes later at around 11.15am, when emergency services were called to the M1 Pacific Motorway, near the Fingal Head off-ramp, following

reports a vehicle had left the road and crashed into a tree. The driver – believed to be a 58-year-old man — died at the scene. Tweed-Byron Police officers established a crime scene which was forensically examined by specialist police. The man is yet to be formally identified but locals responded with an outpouring of sympathy. Social media posts described him as “a beautiful man,” and “an awesome guy” who was “always so nice and good for a laugh” saying he would be missed by many, including his old local school mates and wide circle of friends. Condolences to the family and friends of both men. A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner. Anyone with information or dashcam footage is urged to contact Tweed-Byron Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Runway overrun report Become a coastal firefighter By Jo Kennett

By Jonathon Howard

The Cessna came to rest in cane drain

RW Y1 9d irec tion

PILOTS ARE being urged to abandon unstable landings early after a light aircraft carrying a student pilot and flight instructor overshot the runway at Bob Whittle Murwillumbah Airfield and crashed into a cane drain last month. A newly released Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) report, has revealed the Cessna 172R landed approximately halfway down the runway before losing traction while attempting to stop on Saturday, September 26. The two occupants escaped with minor injuries, but the aircraft sustained substantial damage. The plane had flown from Gold Coast Airport to Murwillumbah for a student pilot’s flight check when the incident occurred about 8.38am. According to the ATSB, the aircraft was too high and travelling too fast on its final approach, resulting in a delayed touchdown on the 800-metre landing strip. “During the first circuit, the aircraft touched down approximately halfway down the runway,” the ATSB stated. The crew abandoned their planned touchand-go take-off and applied the brakes, but the aircraft began skidding. “The aircraft wheels had lost traction, and the crew had lost effective control as the aircraft continued to skid,” the report stated. The Cessna subsequently travelled beyond the runway and crashed into a ditch. The ATSB has used the incident to remind pilots of the dangers of unstable approaches, particularly on shorter and unsealed runways. “Unstable approaches are a common precursor to runway overruns,” the bureau said. “Pilots must consider conducting an early go-around when the speed and height of the aircraft become undesirable on approach.” The bureau also warned that excessive braking

on grass runways can cause wheels to lock and aircraft to skid. “Unsealed grass runways offer less traction, therefore increasing the risk of brake lock up.” The report, released on Friday, October 23, was prepared as an occurrence brief rather than a formal investigation, with the ATSB noting it had not independently verified the information supplied.

BCC Tweed Community College

FIRE AND Rescue Kingscliff is calling on residents of Kingscliff and surrounding communities to consider becoming on-call firefighters, offering locals the opportunity to learn new skills, support their neighbours and help protect the community in emergencies. The current recruitment drive closes on November 1 so anyone interested is being urged to apply before then. On-call firefighters are paid, part-time members of Fire and Rescue NSW who respond to emergency incidents from their home or workplace when their pager sounds. To be eligible, applicants need to live and/ or work within a reasonable distance of their local fire station so they can respond promptly when needed. Residents from Kingscliff, Cudgen, Chinderah, Casuarina and Fingal who have daytime availability and can also commit to some evening, night and weekend work are invited to apply to become a firefighter based at Kingscliff Fire Station. The role offers varied and challenging work, with firefighters trained to respond to fires, carry out rescues, manage hazardous material incidents and assist other emergency services with medical emergencies and severe weather events. On-call firefighters also play an important role in fire prevention, helping raise awareness of fire safety and reduce risks to life and property within their local communities. While the role can be demanding, both physically and emotionally, firefighters receive training and access to resources to support their health, safety and wellbeing. Fire and Rescue NSW Commissioner Jeremy Fewtrell AFSM said becoming an on-call firefighter was an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution while gaining valuable skills and experience.

Fire and Rescue Kingscliff is recruiting on-call firefighters

“Becoming an On Call Firefighter is a great way to contribute to the safety of your local community while at the same time learning new skills and being part of a highly capable team,” Commissioner Fewtrell said.

“The role offers varied and challenging work” He said the training and experience could also benefit firefighters in their primary employment, while providing the opportunity to join a respected organisation in a rewarding part-time career. For people who want to give back to their community, the role offers a chance to make a practical difference when local residents need help most. Those interested in joining the Kingscliff crew can find out more about eligibility, training and the application process through the Fire and Rescue NSW careers website.

The hidden work behind Murwillumbah's new shade trees What's the secret to growing healthy shade trees in the middle of a busy CBD? In Murwillumbah, the answer lies underground. Beneath the road, footpaths and car parks, specialist infrastructure is being installed to help a new generation of street trees put down strong roots and provide cooling shade for years to come. Residents passing through Murwillumbah Street may have noticed a handful of parking spaces temporarily closed as part of Council's Cool Towns Urban Forest Program. While the new trees will eventually be the most visible part of the project, the most important work is happening out of sight. Council is replacing 7 street trees in the Murwillumbah CBD using an innovative underground system designed to give the trees the space, soil and growing conditions they need to thrive in a busy urban environment. Project Officer Sustainability and Environment Jane Moad said the project was developed after earlier generations of street trees struggled to survive in the challenging conditions beneath the CBD. "People often think planting a tree is as simple as digging a hole and putting it in the ground, but in a highly urbanised environment there's a lot more involved," Ms Moad said. "The previous trees didn't have enough space underground to develop healthy root systems. Combined with compacted clay soils, roads, footpaths and constant traffic, those conditions made it difficult for them to reach their full potential." Preparing each site begins well before a tree is planted. Crews carefully remove old root systems and

excavate compacted soil beneath the road reserve. The area is then rebuilt using structural cells, a loadbearing framework made from recycled plastic that creates protected underground space for roots to grow while supporting the weight of vehicles and surrounding infrastructure. The system allows more high-quality soil beneath the road surface, helping provide roots with access to oxygen, water and nutrients while reducing soil compaction. These improved growing conditions are expected to support a lifespan of 50 to 80 years, giving the trees the best chance to thrive in the heart of town.

Ms Moad said the investment in underground infrastructure is expected to significantly improve the trees' long-term health and lifespan. "We're trying to give these trees the best possible opportunity to succeed. In an urban CBD there are lots of constraints, but by improving the underground growing conditions we're aiming to help them provide shade and amenity for decades to come," she said.

The project also includes specially selected paving that allows moisture to reach the root zone through permeable joints between the pavers. The drainage system also allows Council to monitor underground conditions and, if required, remove excess water following major rainfall events. Adding to the complexity is the need to work carefully around existing underground services and remain alert to historically significant items that may be uncovered during excavation. Parts of the original road alignment and other remnants of earlier development may exist beneath the current streetscape, requiring careful documentation if encountered. While the underground work means each site takes time to complete, Council has limited the impact on the CBD by staging the project and temporarily closing between 4 and 8 parking spaces at any one time. Additional parking is available in the recently reopened multi-storey car park, which has increased overall parking capacity in the Murwillumbah CBD and helps offset the temporary loss of on-street parking during works. Once construction is complete, all affected on-street parking spaces will be reinstated, resulting in no permanent loss of parking. The first site took slightly longer as crews worked through the process, but future sites are expected to progress more efficiently.

New cemetery maps improve access for visitors and families Finding the resting place of a loved one is now easier, thanks to new burial location maps installed at Tweed Heads Lawn Cemetery. As part of Council's ongoing cemetery improvement program, updated maps have also been developed for Tweed Valley Lawn Cemetery, Murwillumbah Lawn Cemetery and Murwillumbah General Cemetery. These maps are available online to help visitors locate graves and navigate cemetery grounds with ease. Residents can also access online cemetery maps via Council's Cemetery Locations webpage at tweed.nsw.gov.au/cemeteries/locations. The cemetery burial register is available through the Family History and Historical Searches section on the Services and Planning webpage. Council has recently expanded burial options at Tweed Heads Lawn Cemetery, with an additional 60 upright single and dual memorial burial sites

now available. These sites may be purchased for immediate use or reserved for future needs. The additional sites increase the range of burial choices available to families across Tweed Heads Lawn and Tweed Valley Lawn Cemeteries. A new dedicated ash rock garden has also been established at Tweed Heads Lawn Cemetery, providing flexible options for single or dual ash interments. Ashes may also be interred in an existing grave, subject to confirmation of the Right of Interment Holder. To enquire about reserving a burial plot or ash interment site, contact Council on 02 6670 2400. For information on cemetery fees and charges, visit Council's cemetery website Cemetery fees and charges at tweed.nsw.gov.au/cemeteries/fees-charges

Visitors and families can now navigate Tweed Heads Lawn Cemetery using a new burial location map, with updated maps also available online for Tweed’s other cemeteries.

Tweed Shire Council wishes to acknowledge the Ngandowal and Minyungbal speaking people of 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.

Keep Halloween wildlife-friendly this spring

Have your say Help shape the Tweed’s future. We want to hear from you. Tweed Heads CBD Precinct Streetscape Plan The community is invited to provide feedback on the draft Tweed Heads CBD Precinct Streetscape Plan, guiding improvements to landscaping, public space, wayfinding and accessibility along the Wharf and Bay Street corridors.

As Halloween approaches on Saturday 31 October, residents are encouraged to choose decorations that help keep local wildlife safe during the spring nesting season. One of the biggest risks to birds and other animals is the thin, stretchy fake cobweb often used in Halloween displays. When placed outdoors, wildlife can become tangled in the webbing and insects can become trapped. Some birds may also collect strands to line

The Tweed Heads CBD Precinct Streetscape Plan will provide a long-term vision for the future of the town centre, creating a more connected, attractive and people-focused CBD. Council will host a community drop-in day in late October or early November near the intersection of Wharf and Bay Streets. Residents, businesses and visitors are encouraged to share their feedback and aspirations for the area to help shape the draft streetscape plan. Check the project website (below) for details on date, time and location.

Have your say Written submission must be received by 5 pm on Tuesday 17 November 2026 and may be made via: • online at yoursaytweed.com.au/projects/cbdstreetscape • email to tsc@tweed.nsw.gov.au – Subject: Tweed Heads CBD Precinct Streetscape Plan • mail to Tweed Shire Council, PO Box 816, Murwillumbah, NSW 2484 – Subject: Tweed Heads CBD Precinct Streetscape Plan.

their nests, creating a danger for eggs and chicks. With decorations often displayed for weeks before, the risk can extend well beyond Halloween. Residents are encouraged to keep fake cobweb indoors and choose wildlife-friendly decorations for outdoor displays, such as: • carved pumpkins and lanterns along pathways • paper or cardboard bats and spiders on windows • straw bales, sticks and autumn leaves • chalk drawings on driveways. Fake snow, balloons and plastic string can also harm birds, possums, bats and lizards if used outdoors. Wildlife-friendly alternatives can still create a fun and spooky display while helping protect local animals and their habitats. If you find a bird or other animal caught in webbing, contact Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers on 02 6672 4789. For more information on protecting wildlife, visit tweed.nsw.gov.au/native-plants-wildlife

pain. It has also been great to see staff using the golf buggy every day,” Ms Williams said. Murwillumbah District Hospital Executive Officer and Director of Nursing Janelle Goodall praised the volunteers for their extraordinary generosity. “I want to thank the Murwillumbah Hospital Coffee Shop volunteers for everything they do,” Ms Goodall said. “We are so grateful to the community for getting behind our staff and raising funds for this valuable equipment. We love our volunteers and everything they do for us.” Ms Goodall said the buggy was also making a significant difference to workplace safety. “Previously, staff made several trips each day carrying heavy loads that could pose a health and safety risk. Now it is not only a safer way to move goods around the hospital, but a much quicker one too.” The Coffee Shop is open Monday to Friday, from 9am to 3pm, at the rear of the main hospital building. New volunteers are always welcome, with anyone interested encouraged to drop into the café or contact Jenny on 0414 404 507.

THE INCREDIBLE dedication of a small team of volunteers at Murwillumbah District Hospital has turned thousands of cups of coffee, homemade treats and friendly conversations into more than $700,000 worth of support for their beloved hospital. For more than a decade, the Murwillumbah Hospital Coffee Shop volunteers have been quietly making an enormous difference, with their latest fundraising efforts delivering five stateof-the-art Emergency Department beds and a new golf buggy to help hospital staff tackle the steep terrain of the aptly named ‘Hospital Hill’. The latest donations, worth a combined $80,000, are another remarkable achievement for the volunteer-run café, which has been raising funds for vital hospital equipment and improvements since 2013. From humble beginnings, the coffee shop has become a much-loved part of hospital life, providing a welcoming place for staff, patients, visitors and the wider community while directing its fundraising proceeds back into improving local healthcare. Coffee Shop Volunteers president Cindy Williams, who leads a dedicated team of around 15 volunteers, said the latest purchases had taken considerable effort. “It has taken a lot of hard work by our volunteers, who make and sell all our coffee and treats fresh every day,” Ms Williams said. “We serve hospital staff, students, patients and visitors, as well as members of the wider community who drop in for a bite to eat.” The five new Emergency Department beds cost $70,000 and will provide greater comfort for patients, while the $10,000 golf buggy is already proving invaluable for staff transporting equipment, linen and supplies around the hospital. “The new ED beds feel like you’re lying on a cloud and will really help patients who are in

This young woman takes part in cattle shows, a tradition she began when she first entered high school in year 7. She started this journey with the Murwillumbah Show, something she looks back on fondly. In year 8 she started taking part in the Murwillumbah and Lismore cattle shows. This was a big step up in her journey, as the Lismore show can offer a pathway into the prestigious Sydney Cattle Show. She continues to enter these shows today. She helps prepare cattle for these shows by separating the calf from the mother while still young and giving them a rope collar that stretches to the ground so that when stepped on it tightens around the neck. Once the cattle are used to this the rope is then swapped for a chain collar for showing. This process can take weeks. The preparations involve training the calf to walk and follow instructions, then grooming them to be show ready. She decided to join these cattle shows in year 7 because it was something new that reflected her passion for agriculture. She was so passionate about this that she would stay back to help the Agriculture teachers as no one else had the skills. Z sees her future in agriculture and she is already well on the way.

Mike went to uni but didn’t like it. He failed his first-year exams twice, and had to leave. While he was thinking what to do next he worked on the buses. He loves reading books so he decided on a career in publishing. He wrote lots of letters to publishers and got a job as a production estimator, working out how much it would cost to produce books. Then he got a job as an editor with another publisher, and started reading manuscripts to see if they should be published or not. Eventually he became a publishing director in several companies, which wasn’t smooth sailing at all. After 40 years as a publisher he retired. He has lived in Australia with his wife after moving from England in 2014. Mike met his Australian wife when her boss in Brisbane sent her to visit the Eden Project in England, where Mike worked. Mike’s boss said later that when she instructed staff “to be nice to her”, a wedding wasn’t what she had in mind! The hard thing about living in Australia is that his children live in London with his grandkids so he doesn’t see them very often.

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

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

GENTLE. LOCAL. TRUSTED

Aged care funding system slammed! AN AUTOMATED ‘Robot Debt’-style computer program used by the federal government to decide funding for older Australians wanting to live independently at home is “unreasonable” and “unfair”, according to a Commonwealth Ombudsman handed down on Monday, October 26. Commonwealth Ombudsman Iain Anderson’s report showed the government bypassed critical safety lessons from past automated system failures such as ‘Robot Debt’, leaving seniors trapped in a “technological black box” with no way for human assessors to fix obvious funding errors. The Integrated Assessment Tool (IAT), a computerized algorithm designed to calculate exactly how much care and funding an older person receives based on answers given during their aged care assessment, was introduced in 2024, as part of the government’s new Support at Home program. Instead of relying on the clinical judgment of the health professionals conducting the faceto-face assessments, the computer program automatically assigns seniors into different funding tiers. The Ombudsman issued ten urgent recommendations to fix the legal flaws and overhaul how the assessment framework operates. While the federal government accepted six of the recommendations, it merely “noted” the proposal to allow a human override, declining to change the law to let assessors alter clinically incorrect computer outcomes, meaning the algorithm still holds the ultimate power over home care funding for the time being.

The Ombudsman’s investigation found that the algorithm operates with zero flexibility, resulting in inconsistent and inappropriate funding outcomes for people who need help with daily tasks like cleaning, nursing, and personal care. The report highlighted critical flaws in how the system treats seniors, including that under current laws, even if a senior assessor looks at a computer-generated decision and recognizes it is clinically wrong or provides too little care, they are legally powerless to override the computer decision. The ombudsman also found what he called “a complete lack of transparency,” with no public information explaining how the algorithm calculates its scores, leaving seniors and their families entirely in the dark about how their funding level was decided. Mr Anderson found that safety risks were ignored, as the Department of Health deployed the tool without doing a proper risk assessment, despite widespread warnings about the dangers of using automated systems for complex healthcare decisions.

Failures to learn from ‘Robodebt’

Mr Anderson noted that the rollout of the tool ignored key transparency safeguards recommended by the Robodebt Royal Commission, which warned against letting automated computer programs make life-altering decisions without human checks. The report warns that the system has unfairly reduced or denied vital home care funding, shaking public confidence in the aged care system and potentially putting older Australians at risk.

Students also undertake 120 hours of practical work placement, giving them valuable experience Alana Kalcoff has before entering the retrained for a new workforce. career Adding a special dimension to the training was respected Aboriginal Elder and nurse Bev Grant Lipscomb, who shared knowledge gained from more than 60 years working in nursing and aged care. Bev helped students develop an understanding of ageing on Country, Aboriginal culture and the importance of culturally informed, person-centred care. “They proved to be a very caring and supportive group of students who really embraced a person-centred approach to working with people in aged care, disability support and from diverse backgrounds,” Bev said. “They were open to learning, contributed their own experiences and gained knowledge they could immediately apply when supporting clients.” Now employed in disability support, Alana hopes her experience will inspire others. “I’d encourage anyone considering aged care and disability support to back themselves because there’s such a strong need for compassionate people, and the rewards are so worthwhile.” For Alana, swapping the classroom for a caring career has opened the door to a fulfilling new future, while helping meet an important need in her own community.

AFTER ALMOST 20 years in the classroom, Murwillumbah resident Alana Kalcoff has proved it’s never too late to start a new chapter, retraining at TAFE NSW at the age of 55 and securing a rewarding new career supporting people with disability in her local community. The former teacher is among a growing number of mature-aged Australians embracing new career opportunities in aged care and disability support, industries facing increasing demand across the Tweed Shire. With almost one in four residents in the Murwillumbah region aged 65 or over, the need for skilled, compassionate care workers has never been more important. Health Care and Social Assistance is already the largest employing industry in Murwillumbah and District, providing valuable opportunities for locals looking to make a difference close to home. For Alana, the decision to return to study was initially daunting, but a practical placement quickly confirmed she had found her calling. “I wasn’t sure aged care was the right fit for me until I completed my first placement, but spending time with residents showed me how much of a difference even small acts of care can make,” Alana said. “It quickly became one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. “I formed some really special connections with residents and realised that this is work where you can make a genuine difference to someone’s day, even through the smallest things.” Alana completed her Certificate III in Individual Support through TAFE NSW Murwillumbah, with the course combining virtual and face-to-face learning, practical skills workshops and workplace experience. The qualification prepares students for careers supporting older people and those living with disability, covering personal care, emotional

Preston’s lifetime of beauty on canvas

Uki artist David Preston with one of his recent works

By Jonathon Howard

AFTER MORE than 60 years capturing the beauty of Australian landscapes, renowned Uki artist David Preston believes his latest paintings could represent his greatest artistic achievement, with the works destined for the permanent collection at Tweed Valley Hospital. The celebrated painter and master printmaker, now 78, has spent a lifetime pursuing a simple but powerful philosophy — that art should be beautiful, evocative and capable of stirring something deep within the viewer. His four paintings, completed in 2026, will join other works already

held in the hospital’s permanent collection, bringing a touch of artistic beauty to a place where patients, families and staff can appreciate them for years to come. “For any painting to qualify as a work of fine art, it must have ticked four boxes,” he said. “Is it easy on the eye? Does it please our visual sensibilities through its form? “Is it evocative? Does it have a sense of time in space? Is the tree rooted where it should be?” And perhaps most importantly: “Does the painting deserve a particular destiny?” Preston believes the collection may

represent a high point in his remarkable career. “They were painted in 2026 and may represent my magnum opus,” he said. “But there is always a canvas on the easel.” Born in Sydney in 1948, Preston studied art in Sydney and Newcastle, including at the prestigious Julian Ashton Art School, before beginning to exhibit his work publicly in 1974. Over the following decades, he developed a distinctive artistic style embracing oil painting, watercolour, drawing and traditional printmaking techniques, including etching, woodcuts and hand-coloured linocuts. His work has been exhibited internationally across Europe, Asia and North America, with pieces held in major collections including the National Gallery of Australia and the United Nations headquarters in Geneva. His distinctive artwork has also appeared in international publications, while his dedication to traditional printmaking led him to establish the Etcher’s Press. Despite his international recognition, Preston has remained deeply connected to the Northern Rivers since moving to the region in the early 1990s. His philosophy stands in contrast to artistic movements that favour abstraction and complex interpretation, with Preston maintaining that beauty itself deserves to be celebrated. “In this neo-Post-Modern age, my hope is that beauty may once again be fashionable,” he said.

Let’s go back to the ‘80s! By Jonathon Howard

Christmas

00609 South Tweed Sports QP

GET READY to dust off the denim, tease up the hair and embrace the neon again, as Tweed Theatre Company takes audiences on a nostalgic musical journey back to one of the most unforgettable decades in music history. The Theatre Company’s latest production, Counting Down the ‘80s, promises a fun-filled celebration of the music, fashion and largerthan-life personalities that made the 1980s such an iconic era. From unforgettable dance moves to chart-topping hits that still fill dance floors today, the show will transport audiences back to a time when music was bold, colourful and impossible not to sing along to. At the centre of the action is the larger-thanlife Wally Duldrum, an enthusiastic ‘80s music fan who will guide audiences through the decade with his own entertaining mix of trivia, stories and fascinating facts. For cast member Nadeen Carney, performing songs from her younger years has been a wonderful trip down memory lane. “Such a great time I’m having, performing the 80’s songs, from my stomping era,” Nadeen told The Weekly. “Oh the memories, such nostalgia!” Directed by Donna McGlinn, with assistance from Jodie Colwell and choreography by Kaitie Colwell, the production brings together a talented local cast ready to sing, dance and celebrate the decade in style. Among the performers are Julia Christie and Emily Lawrance, who will bring plenty of ‘80s flair to the stage, alongside Kahali Cording, who will channel the legendary pop superstar Prince. The show promises a colourful mix of music,

Wonderful ‘80s girls Julia Christie and Emily Lawrance

comedy and energetic choreography, celebrating the artists and songs that helped define a generation. Whether you grew up listening to the hits of the ‘80s or simply love the music, the production offers something for all ages. Counting Down the ‘80s will take to the stage at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre across the first three weekends of November, featuring Friday evening performances and Saturday and Sunday matinees. Tweed Theatre Company is encouraging audiences to get into the spirit of the decade by dressing in their favourite ‘80s outfits.

Global key, local heart By Rada Campbell

HALCYON HOUSE’S place on the world hospitality stage is now official, with the Cabarita Beach hotel awarded One MICHELIN Key in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. The Key is the hotel equivalent of a MICHELIN Star. One Key recognises “a very special stay”, with anonymous inspectors assessing design, service, character, value and a hotel’s contribution to its location. Speaking to The Weekly shortly before the award was announced, general manager Magnus Hojden was already describing Halcyon as a world-class training ground - particularly for local people building hospitality careers without leaving the region. His own connection with the hotel began well before he worked there. One of his early dates with the woman who later became his wife was at Paper Daisy. Returning as general manager, Magnus said he had been struck by the emotion the property evokes. “There’s a calm here,” he told The Weekly. Guests regularly tell him they leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, something he attributes not only to the beachfront setting but to Cabarita and its welcoming community. Behind Halcyon’s “quiet luxury” is a sizeable operation encompassing the 22-room hotel, Paper Daisy restaurant and Halcyon Wellness.

At peak times it employs about 100 people, including a substantial casual workforce, with many staff living nearby. Its local connection also extends to producers, suppliers and contractors. “They don’t come here to eat oysters from another country,” Magnus said. Guests expect the produce on their plates to be fresh, regional and accompanied by a genuine story. That commitment has recently become more visible, with Halcyon using its social channels to introduce the local supplier businesses behind the guest experience - recognition that may send visitors their way, too. Magnus said keeping the door open to the surrounding community was essential. “We want to engage the community and have them feel like this is a place for them,” he said. Halcyon also encourages guests to venture beyond the property, recommending the headland, Northern Rivers Rail Trail, Cudgen Creek and neighbouring restaurants and producers. As the hotel enters its second decade, Magnus wants to preserve its character while ensuring every guest feels noticed. The new MICHELIN Key suggests that combination of international standards and local connection is being noticed well beyond Cabarita. Visit Halcyon House at 21 Cypress Crescent, Cabarita Beach.

Simply the best - Twin Towns Showroom By Madeleine Murray

00615 Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club HP

THE TWIN TOWNS SHOWROOM is one of the best in the country, on a par with capital city venues. But adding the latest audio technology in recent years has made it even better. The transformation into a state-of-the-art venue began incrementally, but the COVID shutdown provided an unexpected opportunity to complete the major upgrade. With performances cancelled and entertainment expenditure suspended, management seized the chance to invest in the Showroom’s future. The technological transformation was delivered by Entertainment Operations Manager, Lachlan Donaldson. At the heart of the upgrade is a $400,000 sound system, the first installation of its kind in Australia, designed to deliver exceptional audio quality to every corner of the auditorium. For Lachlan, who has overseen the Showroom since 2018, the investment was about more than just turning up the volume. “The simplest way to describe it is that you should be able to sit almost anywhere in the Showroom and hear the same show,” Lachlan told The Weekly. The Showroom’s unusual configuration, with its various seating levels and arrangements, had long presented challenges for visiting sound engineers. “One of the first things I identified was that the PA system was the obvious weak point,” Lachlan said. “We were getting feedback from visiting engineers that getting consistent sound right through the room – particularly towards the back – was difficult.” The solution was an L-Acoustics K3 system, featuring 12 main speakers flanking the stage, four powerful subwoofers beneath it and additional speakers strategically positioned around the auditorium.

Unlike conventional systems, the sophisticated technology allows engineers to direct sound precisely towards the audience, rather than dispersing it indiscriminately. The result is greater clarity, balance and consistency, whether the audience is enjoying a solo comedian, a 10-piece band or a rock concert. I have seen and loved many shows here, ranging from a Taylor Swift tribute to a Michael Jackson production brought in from New York. The sound was powerful and clear, while the lighting was elaborate and thrilling. “We compete with government-subsidised theatres and a model funded by tax or ratepayers,” Lachlan explained. “Our goal is to independently deliver quality entertainment locally. Entertainment is part of the overall offer at the Club. No one part is self-reliant and we plan our entertainment schedule to encourage people to have a full night or day out at the Club, as we’ve been doing since the showroom opened in 1976.” Meanwhile, investment in production quality is helping attract major international touring acts. The premium venue combined with the attractions of the beach, the Tweed and the Gold Coast make the Showroom an appealing destination for international touring artists. The Gipsy Kings were among the high-profile international acts secured for the venue, with The Animals, Ann Wilson, Crash Test Dummies and Sixpence None the Richer set to appear. The Showroom is in Twin Towns, Wharf Street, Tweed Heads, NSW. For more info, go to twintowns.com.au

THE PRESSURE WASH GUYS

SINESS FEATURED BU From managing 500 staff to building a family business AFTER MORE than 24 years in hospitality management, overseeing more than 500 staff, Tweed Heads local Jay Hudson decided it was time for a change. “The job was consuming all my time, and I wasn’t seeing enough of my family. I wanted to build something of my own and spend more time with the people who matter most,” Jay said.

0406 420 482

Cleaning was a natural direction. Jay’s father has spent decades in the industry, while his sister and brother-in-law run a large commercial cleaning business. Today, Jay and his wife Genine operate The Pressure Wash Guys, servicing Tweed Heads, the Southern Gold Coast and Northern Rivers. Specialising in professional roof soft washing and house washing, they also offer driveway cleaning, solar panel cleaning and a wide range of exterior cleaning services. Jay personally carries out the cleaning, while Genine manages customer enquiries, quotes and administration. With over 50 five-star Google reviews, the family business is building a strong reputation for quality workmanship and exceptional customer service. “After years in hospitality, I know how important it is to look after people and deliver on your promises,” Jay said. Their promise is simple: You only pay when you’re 100% happy. No risk. Visit thepressurewashguys.com.au or call 0406 420 482 for a free quote.

REMEMBER ME by Anthony Dowson

Speak of me as you have always done. Remember the good times, laughter, and fun. Share the happy memories we’ve made. Do not let them wither or fade. I’ll be with you in the summer’s sun And when the winter’s chill has come. I’ll be the voice that whispers in the breeze. I’m peaceful now, put your mind at ease. I’ve rested my eyes and gone to sleep,

LINDSAY Delma Ruth (Dell) 21/10/2026

But memories we’ve shared are yours to keep. Sometimes our final days may be a test, But remember me when I was at my best. Although things may not be the same, Don’t be afraid to use my name. Let your sorrow last for just a while. Comfort each other and try to smile. I’ve lived a life filled with joy and fun. Live on now, make me proud of what you’ll become.

THE CRICKET was washed out again over the weekend, after the rain came down and all grades and ages were called off. The LJ Hooker League ladder after the rounds played so far, sees Goonellabah on top with two wins, and Pottsville and Cudgen next with one win each, with the other game abandoned. Tweed Banora Colts have one win and one loss under their belt, while Terranora has one loss with the game against Cudgen abandoned. Hopefully the weather will clear for round 4 next week which should see the ladder become a bit more meaningful. Meanwhile, premiership winning Cudgen Cricket Club is celebrating a strong run of representative success, with six of its players selected to represent New South Wales and the Far North Coast in upcoming cricket championships. Nathan Croft and Matthew Dickens have earned selection in their respective NSW Over 50s teams and will travel to Perth for the National Over 50s Championships from November 21–27. The club described their selection as a fantastic achievement and a proud moment for Cudgen, congratulating both players and wishing them well at the national championships. Four Cudgen players were also selected in the Far North Coast Over 40s representative team for the State Championships in Dubbo from November 7–10. Michael Anderson, Matt De Groot, James Julius and Pete Comerford will represent the region at the tournament, with the club praising the quartet for

their achievement and the honour of representing the Far North Coast. Tweed Banora Colts player Jamie Bennett also made the squad. Good to see the older players out there enjoying the game and still kicking goals. Good luck to you all.

Junior cricket carnivals

The Far North Coast Cricket Council is inviting expressions of interest from junior players keen to represent the region at a series of cricket carnivals and tours in January 2027. The program will cater for players from under-11s through to under-16s, with opportunities to compete against teams from other regions while developing skills and building friendships. The under-11 Brisbane Development Carnival will run from January 4–8, with costs yet to be confirmed. The under-12 Lismore Carnival will take place from January 11–14, while the under-13 Ballina Carnival is scheduled for January 11–15. Both carnivals will cost $240 per player. Meanwhile, under-14, under-15 and under-16 players will have the opportunity to take part in Brisbane tours from January 18–20, with costs expected to be around $100 per player, subject to confirmation. Further information about selections and arrangements will be provided at a later date, with an expression of interest not guaranteeing selection. Interested players can register their interest online with links on the Far North Coast Cricket Council Facebook page.

Buying for the next chapter in a changing property market

By Maddison Road partner Matt Nielsen FOR MANY homeowners across the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast, the decision to move is being shaped by a desire for greater freedom, less maintenance and a home that better reflects how they want to spend their time. While the family home may have served its purpose for many years, the appeal of a thoughtfully designed residence close to the beach, cafés and everyday conveniences is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook. This shift continues to support strong buyer demand for high-quality boutique projects, particularly those offering the space, privacy and quality that allow purchasers to make the move without feeling they are compromising their lifestyle.

Caba Residences

A MORE CONSIDERED APPROACH TO BUYING Buyers are taking a closer look at what makes a property worth owning over the longer term, with greater attention being paid to floor plans, construction quality, the surrounding neighbourhood and the experience of the team delivering the project. For downsizers particularly, a generous living area, a well-appointed kitchen and a comfortable outdoor entertaining space often carry more weight than the number of bedrooms alone. The projects attracting attention are those that understand these priorities and offer homes that feel practical, welcoming and substantial. Rising construction costs are also influencing the market, as the expense of labour, materials and project delivery continues to place pressure on the feasibility of future

developments. While these pressures do not translate automatically into higher property values, they can make it more expensive to deliver comparable new residences in the years ahead. For some buyers, purchasing off the plan provides an opportunity to secure a suitable home at an agreed price today, helping reduce their exposure to potential price increases in future projects while allowing time to organise the sale of their existing property.

DOWNSIZING BEGINS WITH UNDERSTANDING WHAT MATTERS DJ Stringer

A successful move usually starts with an honest assessment of how a home will be used, rather than a decision about how much space can be given up. Buyers who regularly entertain may place greater importance on a generous dining area and sheltered balcony, while those with visiting family may need a separate guest bedroom or multipurpose room that can comfortably accommodate longer stays. Storage is another consideration that deserves attention early, particularly for people moving from a house with a garage, garden shed and years of accumulated belongings. Understanding where luggage, bicycles, sporting equipment and household items will be kept can reveal more about a property’s suitability than its overall floor area. It is also worth considering how the home will function over time, including lift access, the distance from the car park to the front door, bathroom layouts and the convenience of nearby services. These details can have a lasting influence on everyday comfort and independence.

THE QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING BEFORE COMMITTING Buying off the plan becomes easier to navigate when purchasers have a clear understanding of the project’s status and the documents that define what will be delivered. Start by asking about the developer’s experience, whether a builder has been appointed and which comparable projects the team has completed. Where possible, visiting a finished development can provide useful insight into workmanship, materials and how the building has aged.

Buyers should also establish whether approvals are in place, what needs to occur before construction can begin and how the anticipated completion timeframe has been determined. When reviewing an individual residence, ask for dimensioned floor plans and a detailed inclusions schedule, paying particular attention to internal living areas, balcony dimensions, ceiling heights, parking and storage. Artist impressions are helpful, but important features and finishes should be confirmed in the contract documents. An independent solicitor or conveyancer should explain deposit requirements, settlement obligations, permitted variations and the provisions dealing with delays, while the proposed strata budget should be reviewed to understand ongoing ownership costs.

FINDING THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY With more than 10 current projects, each ranging in size from $20m - $220m+ Maddison Road and the Witheriff Group help buyers compare different locations, layouts, price points and delivery timeframes against their individual needs. Their off-market offering also means that some opportunities are available through direct enquiry, giving buyers access to residences they may never encounter through the usual property portals. For those considering their next move, a conversation early in the process can help clarify what is available, what deserves closer consideration and how the purchase might fit with the sale of an existing home. Taking that time allows buyers to make a considered decision, with greater confidence in both
