TWEED POLICE are urging residents to be on the lookout for so-called ‘bitumen bandits’, who have allegedly ripped several locals off and left driveways in a poor state.

Their aggressive sales tactics and promises to make your driveway good as new at rock bottom prices should signal alarm bells, says Tweed Police. “If the offer is too good to

be true, get another quote or seek another opinion before signing on to any agreement,” police said. The warning comes as police nabbed one of a group of trav-

MURWILLUMBAH IS open for business this Christmas, with more than 30 retailers banding together to extend shopping hours during the peak shopping season. Many shops on both sides of the river will extend shopping hours until 6pm on Thursdays, 3pm on Saturdays, and from 10am to 3pm on Sundays under the banner of “Murwillumbah Shopping Magic”. “Murwillumbah has always been a day trip destination for a lot of people from the Gold Coast, however our weekend visitors have expanded up and down the coast since the opening of the rail trail and continued expansion of fabulous cafes, new and unique boutique shops, artistic events and venues” said Sharon Matulick from Bolt and Buckle. “We’ve seen it ourselves with increased weekend foot traffic in our store, especially from Queensland.” Official numbers from the rail trail confirm that Sundays are far and away the busiest day. “Customers that we’ve spoken to have said that they would be keen to explore more shops when they visit, as they love the town and the vibe,” said Tina Nathan from Firelilee. “So we thought Christmas time was the perfect time to get a group of businesses together and open up longer and later. “We were hoping to have maybe ten businesses, but to have over 30 stores jump on board has been amazing.” The initiative has the support of a number of Tweed Shire councillors and Tweed Tourism Co, as extended shopping times provide more reasons for visitors to come into town, immerse themselves in the vibe of Murwillumbah and see what the town has to offer. According to the organisers, Murwillumbah is primed to bring more shoppers

and day trippers to the town with so many great unique shops to choose from. Citing examples such as Bangalow, Bellingen and tourist towns all across Australia, they say that weekends are some of their busiest days and that it is a huge opportunity for local businesses to bring outside dollars to the community.

Murwillumbah Shopping Magic runs until December 24. “However, with the enthusiasm and excitement of many local retail stores and venues, we will certainly work together to continue to play our part in creating more magic in Murwillumbah,” Sharon said.

The amendments were on a range of conditions that the applicant must meet prior to consent, prior to construction and during construction. It was only Cr Firth that voted against the final approval due to concerns about environmental impacts, particularly to local wildlife. Council found that, “The reason the tower should be approved is because it will not significantly affect threatened

species and will provide essential public infrastructure that is essential for public safety in emergencies and disasters; and council is therefore satisfied that the development is not likely to significantly affect threatened species.” Councillor Reece Byrnes said the approval had been “a long time coming.” “We have a duty as elected representatives of these people to do what is right and to ensure that our community has basic access to infrastructure and telecommunications,” he said.

High praise for hospital

If I had to give a score for The Tweed Hospital, with one being poor and 10 excellent, is it possible to go to 10.5? I had to go to the emergency department on the direction of my GP for an abscess in my mouth. The service from all staff was exceptional from reception, nurses, to the specialist doctor who fixed the rather painful abscess. Here’s to you all at The Tweed Hospital, we are all so lucky to have you close by. Keep up your great reputation in your new home next year as I’m sure you will. David Sharpe, Tweed Heads South

Thank you to health staff

Many thanks to the nursing staff and palliative care team at The Tweed Hospital for the care and support provided to Harold (Frank) Dawson during his stay and passing. The dedication and compassion showed by the healthcare professionals involved in his care during this difficult times is truly appreciated. Clarice Dawson, Tweed Heads

Weed control and addressing hate

I’m sorry but we’ve lost the plot with a most obvious weed: the giant devil’s fig. We are distressed by myconia and Jacob’s tears and now fire ants. I am of the opinion that this world really cannot go on without some sort of guidance. People hate each other over a religious opinion. Our wildlife is deteriorating rapidly. We need to sit down and discuss the future as our children are rampant and undisciplined. Who decided that no discipline should be applied to children, who were the do-gooders that decided that smacking an unruly child was cruel? I believe an undisciplined child be-

comes an undisciplined adult. Look at your children and grandchildren and hope the future is positive for them and for us who love peace. Greg Church, Murwillumbah

Development creed

The writing was the wall as they say (TVW, November 16 ‘Bid for Cudgen development’). Out-of-town developers always come up with a fantastic idea stating their concept is going to be beneficial to the community. But the real target is the plateau south-west of the new hospital, the Cudgen Plateau, the last area on the east coast to have selenium in the soil — a nutrient that the body needs to stay healthy. Selenium is important for reproduction, thyroid gland function, DNA production and defence from infections. But I believe developers don’t care, it’s all about the money and a room with a view. Australians are the worst in the world for destroying their coastline. While nobody wants to live out west that’s not the scene. It will be a shame if the council is thinking of future development for the sake of housing and congestion — have a look at Terranora. I hope common sense prevails. P Lazer, Terranora

Humans preferred for insurance

I recently decided to change my car and home insurance to GIO Murwillumbah as I play trivia every week with the agents in Murwillumbah. I went into the office and Janelle went through every part of my policies with me, and got the price down by about $100 a month. It was a very pleasant, personal experience. I have never had any contact with my previous insurer. When I tried to cancel my policies with them recently, I waited on the phone for the bank broker for 15 minutes before I gave

up trying to get a person and hung up. Their voice recognition didn’t understand the word ‘insurance’ which didn’t help, and the message kept telling me I could cancel my credit card on their website. Then I tried the insurance company line and after 10 minutes someone answered and I was finally able to cancel my policy. I’ve now realised that human contact, where you can ‘drop in for a chat’, get personal service, or call if you have a question is much better than the anonymous, frustrating voice recognition, ‘All our operators are currently on other calls’ experience. M Cordeaux, Murwillumbah

Self-serve no help for me

As the self-serve checkout debate goes on, I would just like to tell you a little bit about my experience with them at Coles. I am a middle-aged lady who for the last 25 years has lived with a muscle disease that affects all voluntary muscles including my eyes. Outwardly though you would not think there was anything wrong with me. When I pop into Coles for just a few items I now have to ask the staff at Coles for help at the self-serve registers, they look at me as if to say why can’t you do it yourself. I have never had to explain my illness ever before until these registers came in as there was always a manned 12 items or less register to go through. Now there isn’t. I feel the disabled and elderly are not being taken into consideration with these new self-serve checkouts. I would go so far as to say it’s discrimination. Leah Harley, Tweed Heads

Unmaintained roads more than driveways

I need to reply to Ant hony Malivanek’s letter (TVW Letters, November 30 ‘Maintaining driveways – not council’s role’).

Ring for a

02 6672 3226

Council stopped maintaining these roads decades ago with the reasons given that dairy farms had been closing down and a loss of population at the time. Now these farms are home for so many in the Tweed Valley. Council has no public liability on these roads. However, Council is still the road authority with responsibility for these roads. For any safety issues on these roads council inspects and takes appropriate action. There are two segments of roads not maintained by council: fill length and partial length. Easily achieved by cutting the tail off the full-length roads, which is what council has done, the other portion of the road is sealed and maintained by the council. Councillors were very selective in which roads were cut. Because of the saving of not maintaining these 90-plus roads for decades (50 years), council has $420 million invested on behalf of ratepayers earning very low returns, mostly with fossil fuel-aligned banks. As an example, Lismore City and Kyogle councils have very low earnings, but maintain all rural roads in their shires. These Tweed funds should be used to aid those living on partial-length unmaintained roads as they are ratepayers and deserve better Ray Nardi, Kielvale

Vehicles parking on paths

I have sent previous emails about the pathway down to the shopping precinct at Tweed Heads. I was going down the path the other day past the community centre and I found that people were parking on the side where there is supposed to be a path but it is not marked out. I realise that it was hot and they want to park under shade but there is plenty of space around the back they should use and when a car was leaving there is not much space to

keep walking considering it is the path as well. Now considering the fact that the path is in such poor condition and it has been marked with yellow paint to show the dangerous breakup of the concrete, and there is so much paint, they could also have painted out the path to join up to the rest of the path near the oval. Larry Campbell, Tweed Heads

Nuclear furphy wagon

The renewable train has left the station and nuclear isn’t on board. Efforts to decarbonise are quite probably too little too late to prevent runaway warming, but we sure don’t have decades to spare sitting around watching nuclear plants being built (that’s if you find a community that wants one in their backyard). Renewable energy may be expensive in South Australia, but when things settle down it will be far cheaper than any alternative. The government could help by redirecting to consumers the $9 billion that fossil fuel companies pocket each year. Makes you wonder if they would be viable businesses without our tax dollars. So Silex can enrich uranium and recycle waste. Woopy-do. We can add ‘recycled nuclear waste’ to the furphy wagon. Recycled does not mean dealt with. There are over 390,000 tonnes out there, growing daily, and still not one gram has been permanently and safely stored. As if future generations don’t have enough to worry about.

Weir raising debated By Jonathon Howard

SEVERAL TWEED Valley landholders are expressing concerns over a motion to investigate raising the Bray Park Weir, but Tweed Shire Council says it’s early days. Council has clarified that it has not yet made a concrete decision on the weir raising, which was discussed during council’s November 16 meeting. Council’s Acting Manager of Water and Wastewater Elizabeth Seidl said council only resolved to investigate the two weir-raising options. She also stressed that a solution is needed to prevent saltwater inundation at the weir, which can place the Tweed’s water supply at risk of contamination. Longtime local farmer Neil Baker expressed his concerns to The Weekly following a unanimous vote from councillors to investigate raising the weir. Mr Baker and other farmers have long debated whether a swing-arm wall could be better suited to safeguard the water supply and avoid any land inundation that would result from raising the weir, although the price tag for doing this is considered extremely high. Mr Baker put several questions to both Ms Seidl and Mayor Chris Cherry which included: “Why has council not taken into consideration the latest scientific research and data, to quantify what effect this would have on flood flows?” “Secondly, we’re talking about an inundation of farmland, as you are raising the river levels permanently, could council talk about what compromises could be made including negations of compensation with landowners?” Mr Baker said. “Public and private bridges will also be

Bray Park Weir has been the centre of much debate since the 1980s

affected, again raising the issue of rebuilding and costs? “Is council choosing to breach a legal document that they entered into, signed by the president on the weir raising?” Ms Seidl stressed that council has only been directed to investigate the best option for the future. “The flood and inundation impact studies for the two options have not yet been undertaken,” she said. “These studies will be done as part of the investigations of the two options, along with all of the other technical and environmental impact assessment studies. “Council has not chosen to breach the 1980 agreement as it has not resolved to raise Bray Park Weir. Council has resolved to further investigate options of raising the weir. “Council has previously sought legal advice on the 1980 agreement. The agreement was between council and the signatories to the agreement. “There are a limited number of signatories to the agreement who may be im-

pacted by any raising of the weir. “If council resolves to undertake the raising of Bray Park Weir, we will undertake negotiations with those signatories who may be impacted, to resolve any issues they may have.” Mayor Cherry said it’s important to note that when council has completed the impacts assessment of both options of raising, to see how surrounding landowners might be impacted, discussions would be undertaken as to appropriate compensation for these affected landowners. “This is a really important piece of infrastructure, needing to be upgraded to make sure we have a safe water supply into the future,” she said. “The preliminary impact assessment that Councillors were provided only showed an increase in water in drainage lines, not any inundation of land, so it will be good to see the more detailed study to make sure this is correct.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe raising the weir is a good option or not?

Bitumen bandit nabbed in Murwillumbah By Jo Kennett

WITH THE help of a quick-thinking local earthmoving team, police have nabbed one of a group of travellers from the United Kingdom involved in a bitumen laying scam, with an allegedly stolen ute, roller and trailer. The alleged scammers had begun operating in Murwillumbah and surrounding areas and locals were soon posting warnings on social media on Tuesday, November 28. Police said at about 4.40 pm they responded to a report of the alleged travelling bitumen bandits at Kite Crescent in South Murwillumbah. Owner of Brockbanks Bobcats and Excavations, Jarrod Brockbank, said a couple of his workers were telling him about the alleged scammers as word got around Murwillumbah. “The owner of the yard we rent in Kite Crescent in the industrial estate rang and he was saying, ‘I’ve just got these blokes here who are going to do a quick bitumen job in our yard’,” Jarrod said. “I said ‘no mate, they are scammers’, but he said they looked ridgey didge. “My wife showed me a post on Murwillumbah Matters but he kept saying he believed him. “An hour later he rang me in a panic saying they haven’t sent me an email or anything to do with billing. He wanted it above board.” Jason sent the yard owner a screenshot of the truck which had been posted on Facebook to warn people,

The man being arrested here was allegedly part of bitumen-laying scam. Bottom right: police at the Kite Crescent yard where the alleged scammers were laying dodgy road bitumen.

the owner called and said it was them doing the bitumen in the yard. “I went to my yard and one of my workers had just got back and he said, ‘Who are these blokes here?’” Jason told The Weekly. “They were parked in our yards in front of our containers and I came flying in and said, ‘What are you doing here?’ “They said, ‘The other fella said’, and I said, ‘I don’t care what he said, get out of here.’ “They said they had already started scraping the ground. “It was raining and I said, ‘You can’t do bitumen in the rain and what you have isn’t even bitumen’.” Jason said he and his team build roads “every second day” and the alleged scammers were using a cheap by-product of bitumen that washes away in the rain, whereas normal bitumen has to be heated up to a certain temperature to work. “I called my workers on the two-

way when I was on my way there and told everyone to come to the yard,” Jason said. “They all pulled in and blocked them from getting out. “Then someone showed me the picture saying half of Murwillumbah was looking for them. “They were getting fired up telling us to get out of their way.” Jason’s son pulled the keys out of the ignition so they couldn’t go anywhere and then they called the police. “Their boss was ringing and abusing us but he wouldn’t go there,” Jason said. “The cops said they were looking for them so we kept them captive and they were blowing up. “Within about 15 minutes we had three cop cars pull up. One of the cars was out the front with a roller and trailer, and he took off, and one of the cops did a U-turn and chased him down. “Then the ute and the cop car came back and they had him in the back

of the cop car.” The police told Jason the ute, the trailer and the roller were all allegedly stolen. “The cops were speaking about immigration,” he said. “I think the boss was sitting at the Riverview Hotel because there were a few of their cars there as well. “They said about that time all of them fled from the Riverview.” Jason said the police searched the alleged scammers’ cars and did VIN and immigration checks and said that one of them didn’t seem to know what was going on. “This has been passed down through these gypsies for years. They have the ringleader and they just pass the work down to the minions,” Jason said. “The police thanked us for their efforts. “Some of the Irish guys took photos of my vehicle and the boss was ringing me all night threatening me. “I went back to the cops and said this bloke was harassing me and they said if he didn’t stop harassing me he would be charged with harassment. “They only charged the guy in the stolen vehicle.” Jason said from what he had heard, the scammers had three different

crews running. “That one there and a couple of others,” he said. “We saw their trucks parked in the Budd Park car park, there were about four trucks and all these utes. “They will just keep going up and down the coast now, that’s what they do for a living. “They just rip people off, that’s how they’re trained. “If they are breaching immigration they obviously aren’t permanent residents.” Tweed Police said a 34-year-old man from the United Kingdom was arrested and police seized a ute, trailer and roller. The man was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with dishonestly obtaining property by deception. The man was refused bail and appeared at Tweed Heads Local Court on November 29. The matter has also been referred to Australian Border Force. Tweed-Byron Police District said they “will continue to disrupt and respond to fraudulent activity.” Bitumen Bandits were also operating in the Tweed Shire in October.

Please phone 02 6670 2400 for any urgent matters or visit tweed.nsw.gov.au/contact-us for other ways to contact us. The front counters re-open at 9 am on Friday 15 December.

Works paused at Tyalgum Signs have been erected at key entry and exit points across Murwillumbah, indicating entry to the declared 5 km biosecurity zone.

Fire ant update: No further detection in 500 m zone Response to the discovery of Red Imported Fire Ants in South Murwillumbah is continuing, with specialists from the NSW Department of Primary Industries and National Fire Ant Eradication Program continuing their work on the ground. Fire ants were positively identified at a vacant sub-division in Quarry Road, South Murwillumbah on Friday 24 November and treated the following day. Since then, specially-trained officers accompanied by fire ant detection dogs, have completed surveillance of the area within a 500-metre radius of the incident property – with no further fire ant activity detected. The focus has now turned towards areas beyond the 500 m zone, with properties identified as most at-risk prioritised for surveillance checks. The priority is to ensure fire ants are contained and no further spread occurs. Meanwhile, signage has gone up at key entry and exit points across Murwillumbah, to inform motorists they are entering the 5km biosecurity zone declared by the NSW Government last week. Residents are advised to ensure they are aware of this zone and to comply with advice regarding the transportation of earth-bearing goods such as soil, hay, mulch, compost, sand,

gravel and the like. A detailed map of the 5 km zone is published on the NSW DPI website. A permit system has been established to enable businesses to operate safely when transporting affected goods outside of the zone. Attention is now turning towards more widespread treatment up to the 5 km zone boundary, to help prevent any potential spread of the pest.

What do fire ants look like? Residents are urged to be on the lookout for fire ants and report any suspicious ants to the NSW DPI hotline on 1800 680 244 or by completing the online form by visiting dpi.nsw.gov.au/biosecurity/forms/report-exotic-ants Fire ants are dark reddish-brown with a darker black-brown abdomen and range in size from 2 to 6 mm long. Their ant nests are distinctive mounds of loose, crumbly or fluffy looking soil with a honeycomb appearance, up to 40 cm high, with no obvious entrance holes. A free drop-in community information bus, located in front of the Murwillumbah Civic Centre, is open during office hours to help with any questions.

Pathway and park at Ebenezer Park to be repaired Council will soon start work on the repair, restoration and flood mitigation works at Ebenezer Park, Tweed Heads to fix the park and pathway damaged during the February/March 2022 flood events in the Tweed Shire. During the floods, the Tweed River broke its banks at Ebenezer Park causing substantial damage to the pathway. Funding from the Department of Regional NSW – Community Local Infrastructure Recovery Program, cofunded by the Australian and NSW Governments for the restoration and flood resilience upgrades to repair, restore and complete flood mitigation works at Ebenezer Park and pathway has been approved. Design and survey works are now underway and work is expected to begin in early 2024, weather permitting. Read more at tweed.nsw.gov.au/latest-news

Works by contractor SEE Civil have paused at the Tyalgum Road flood restoration project as a mandatory Independent Technical Review begins. The Tyalgum project has required significant design work and refinement over many months and now faces the independent review for approval by funding bodies, the NSW and Federal governments. While the review could take up to 6 months, the temporary single-lane access road remains open to all vehicles, under traffic lights, (unless significant new movement is detected).

Cats loving new enclosures Winners of the ‘Keeping Cats Safe at Home’ expression of interest were announced earlier this year, with 36 Tweed residents receiving a $500 voucher for Catnets to purchase a cat haven and /or cat enrichment products. The owners got straight to work to make their cats a safehaven and the cats have never been happier! Dex from Banora Point is one of those lucky cats who is now the proud owner of a 1.8 metre freestanding cat enclosure along with some artificial cat grass, a hammock and shade sail cloth. Read more about Dex and how the enclosure has improved his life at tweed.nsw.gov.au/latest-news Council partnered with RSPCA NSW on its Keeping Cats Safe at Home campaign. The NSW-wide project is funded by a $2.5 million grant from the NSW Environmental Trust. Find out how you can keep your cat safe at home at tweed.nsw.gov.au/cats

Where will we work? How we work and where we work is changing across the Tweed. It is estimated that over the next 20 years 11,000+ jobs will be created. In order to adapt to these changes Council will need to identify areas that can accommodate employment growth and ideally ensure that people can work close to home. Get involved in the conversation by sharing your thoughts on yoursaytweed.com.au/futuretweed and make sure you follow the project. Let’s work together to plan for the future so the Tweed grows and evolves in a sustainable way.

160 trees planted for the koalas at Uki Uki’s koalas will now have more of a chance of survival with 160 koala habitat trees recently planted at the newly-opened Uki Mountain Bike Park, thanks to students from Bilambil Public School and local organisation Saving our Koalas. The students raised $1,300 for koala food trees by making tie-dyed shopping bags out of second-hand bed sheets. The school kids not only provided habitat for endangered koalas and other native animals but took the initiative to recycle and reuse and to reduce single-use plastic bags in the environment. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) also contributed funds to match the school’s fundraising in appreciation of the effort, passion and enthusiasm shown by the students. Bilambil Public School students with parents and a teacher, Saving our Koalas and the Tweed Valley Mountain Bike Riders Club volunteers all helped with the tree planting.

Going solar at Tweed Heads A new solar array has been installed on Council’s Tweed Heads administration office which is now contributing to powering the building’s operations. The solar panels are expected to generate approximately 129,800 kWH per year, which is estimated to save as much greenhouse gas emissions as travelling 390,685 km per year in an average car. The new system will save Council and ratepayers approximately $31,152 per year while also helping to protect the Tweed’s environment for current and future generations. The installation of solar panels is part of Council’s commitment to renewable energy and to meet its targets in the Renewable Energy Action Plan. Council has set a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its electricity use by 50% by 2025.

TWEED POLICE have reissued a Queensland Police warning about ‘bitumen bandits’, who offer to lay bitumen at what appears to be a great deal, however, if a deposit is made, they often don’t commence the job or use dodgy material if they do. The fraudsters then demand substantially more money than initially quoted, resulting in residents paying a third party to remove the substandard bitumen that was laid. The fraudsters go door to door and engage with residents in intimidating and aggressive ways, often resulting in residents paying over fears for their safety. While the bandits’ sales pitch tactics may vary, there are some things to be aware of. They often speak with a strong Irish, Scottish or English accent.

The quoted amount will literally be ‘too good to be true’ and they may claim the reason they can perform the job cheaply is because they have leftover bitumen from a previous job. They may pressure residents to accept the deal, and even become aggressive or say the deal is only valid for that day. Tips to avoid this scam and similar ones include to research the company through the internet. Speak to family, friends and neighbours who may also have been approached. Obtain a written quote from the company and do not provide payment before the job is complete and to a satisfactory level. Do not feel pressured to make a decision that day and feel comfortable to decline the offer. Trust your gut instinct. Report crime information anonymously via Crime Stoppers.

COVID numbers rising By Jonathon Howard

ELDERLY and immunocompromised residents are being encouraged to get an updated COVID-19 vaccination as the North Coast and the state grapples with a fresh wave of the virus. Assistant Director of North Coast Public Health, Dr Robin Auld, told The Weekly that community transmission of COVID-19 has increased across the state and is now at “moderate to high levels”. “On the North Coast, 181 COVID-19 cases were reported in the fortnight ending November 18, 2023, compared with 128 for the fortnight prior,” Dr Auld said. “There have been 8,299 cases reported this year.” Dr Auld said the best way that people at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 can protect themselves, such as those aged 75 years and over and those who are immunocompromised, is to follow the COVID-19 vaccination advice from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI). “Everyone aged 65 years and over, and everyone aged 18 years and over at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 should have at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose in 2023,” Dr Auld said.

“An additional booster dose should be considered if it has been more than six months since the last dose. “A booster is recommended for all people aged 75 years and over if it has been more than six months since their last dose. “A COVID-19 booster vaccination helps to protect against serious illness, hospitalisation and death from COVID-19.” Dr Auld also provided The Weekly with a reminder for the community in regards to COVID. • If you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, you should stay at home until your acute symptoms have gone to protect others. • If you need to go out, you should wear a mask. • People with cold or flu symptoms should avoid visiting high risk settings like hospitals, aged and disability care facilities, or people who are at higher risk of severe illness. • People should talk with their doctor if they are at a higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses. Your doctor may recommend a PCR test if you get sick and you may be eligible for antivirals.

Bogangar proposal raises eyebrows By Jo Kennett

SOME BOGANGAR residents say they were shocked to find that a development application (DA) for a four-storey block of units on Hastings Road has been submitted to Tweed Shire Council with only a two-week submission period which closed on Wednesday, December 6, however council said all the correct processes were followed. The DA for the site at 44 Hastings Road, at the intersection with Banksia Avenue, outlines a four-storey, fiveunit residential flat building with a ground-level car park, a swimming pool and associated demolition, earthworks and tree removal. The DA (DA23/0571) was lodged with council on November 9 and has a price tag of $3.23 million. If approved the building offers one four-bedroom unit, two three-bedroom units and two two-bedroom units with 12 car parks. A resident, who preferred to remain anonymous, said the proposal has not been advertised. “There are no signs on site. Only the immediate neighbours have been notified,” the resident said. “I’m 40 metres away from it and they didn’t notify me. “The DA was lodged on November 9 and it wasn’t open for submissions until November 22. It closes on Wednesday, December 6, and it’s four stories high.” The resident said the building could exceed current height limits for Bogangar if approved.

“It’s all houses here,” the resident said. “It’s been zoned R3, which is medium density, but this is setting a precedent for a four-storey building in a residential area. “It is overlooking everybody, adjoining property owners, whose privacy is compromised. “There is only a two-week period for submissions and only surrounding neighbours have been contacted by mail via an undated letter by council. “The DA is for 14.2 metres and council’s current building height limit for Bogangar is 13.6 metres. “On Tweed Coast Road it’s three stories at the front but at the back it’s four stories. “This block is level and it’s four stories high.” The applicant has put in a request for a height variation from 13.6 metres to 14.2 metres. The resident said there was a lot of controversy about the Hideaway glamping site “and this seems to have been rushed through without anyone realising”. “That’s my big concern. If someone hadn’t mentioned it we would never have known,” the resident said. “This is not low-income housing. “There is a penthouse unit at the top, two units on level one, and two and a street-level car park that opens onto Banksia Avenue which is a bus route for the school buses and the 603. “This is on a 600.7 square metre parcel of land. If people would like to compare the site, it is two metres higher

than the current surf club extension.” Another resident, who also preferred not to be named, said they felt the development “is not right”. “That’s the worst intersection in Caba,” the resident said. “When they put those Airbnbs at that address, they started parking on Banksia Avenue, but it’s only one lane as you can’t see. “Even the bus has to get around the traffic (by moving into the middle of the road). “Imagine what will happen if they put that up. “Once they start doing that in a residential area where we have two-storey homes where do they stop?” Access to the units would be via Banksia Avenue. According to the traffic impact statement, a total of twelve car parking spaces are proposed, including two spaces for visitors. The resident said they had only found out about the development days ago. “It was kept pretty quiet really. The one beside it is an Airbnb too,” the longtime local said. “A lot of those places don’t cater for visitors because they don’t have the room for it and they will all end up parking out on the street. “It’s so dangerous for the kids. People are too scared to let their kids walk across the road there. “That’s how bad it is there. I don’t know how many times I’ve nearly been cleaned up there. “They’ve really kept it under wraps.” The Weekly spoke with both council

The design proposal for the corner of Hastings Road and Banksia Avenue

and the site owner Rob Nienhuis, who both confirmed the plans were in accordance with council’s development controls for medium density R3 zoning. “We had a pre-DA meeting with council planners and they did not raise a concern about the four-storey building being proposed,” Terranora resident, Mr Nienhuis, said. “The R3 zoning runs from Tamarind through to Banksia and out over the peninsula, so all those houses have the potential to go that tall. “The 14.2 metres is purely for the lifting beam of the lift. The top floor is only 13.2 metres high. “We are just mum and dad developers. We don’t want to spoil the area either, that’s not our intent. It’s a lovely area.”

Tweed Shire Council’s Director of Planning and Regulation Denise Galle, said the correct notifications had been made, including on council’s DA tracker and 14 days’ notice “to adjoining and affected landowners.” “Council officers typically consider all submissions (even if they arrive after the submission closes) and clarify which ones and how many were received during the official submission period,” Ms Galle said. Ms Galle said anyone with concerns can register as an objector to receive news of the plans.

THE FINISHING touches are underway at Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre’s Murwillumbah pool. As temperatures hit 35 degrees in some parts of the Tweed Valley, residents are eager to take a cool dip, and Tweed Shire Council staff are hopeful the pool will open for the Christmas holidays. Council’s Acting Team Leader for Open Space Operations Joanna Hogg said the team of contractors are on track to complete the works before Christmas. “Works to repair and restore the 50-metre pool at Murwillumbah following damage caused by the February 2022 flood are on track to be completed before Christmas,” she said. “At this stage, weather-permitting, we are expecting to reopen the 50m pool and giant hill slide in time for Christmas and the summer

holidays.” Ms Hogg said the contractors are in the process of applying the finishing touches. “The pool is back to its dazzling blue colour with the final touches being done to replace the flooring,” she said. “Lane markings (the black lines on the bottom of the pool and at each end of the pool) are being marked up and painted, while the fibre-glassing is almost finished with a few final touches to ensure we have a professional finish. “We will then apply the fill coat and top coat to the entire area of the 50m pool. “Following that, we will install the ladders, handrails, lane connections and dive blocks, with signage to insert and place around the perimeter of the pool. “Once these final items are completed, the pool will be handed back to fill with water and prepare for opening.”

A Week in the Sun at Murwillumbah Public School Day two saw a full day visit to Aussie World. In a day of high excitement students were thrilled by rides such as the Mozzi Musta, The Wasp, The Rev Shed, Redback and the Bug Run. After this adventure it was a much quieter pace at the cinema for the night. The excursion would not be complete without a visit to Australia Zoo and this was Thursday’s highlight. Students loved seeing the wildlife displays up close and enjoyed the interactive presentations. Everyone did well to survive the very warm temperatures on the day. The final day began with a bus load of weary students

and staff heading south but all found plenty of energy when they arrived at Wet and Wild for a day of aquatic fun. A great week for all and a well deserved weekend of rest for the staff that attended.

Year 6 students and staff from Murwillumbah Public had a wonderful opportunity last week exploring the attractions and highlights of the Sunshine Coast. Their first day featured a 3 hour educational Sea Life tour of the Sunshine Coast aquarium. It included the seal and little blue penguin interactive shows. The program focused on how science is used to protect aquatic habitats and how people in our local community work together to save endangered species. For evening entertainment it was a challenge to strike out at the Suncity Bowling Centre.

TELSTRA HAS announced a series of initiatives to help support and reconnect communities affected by disasters, with a focus on the Northern Rivers. Telstra Response Team spokesperson Steve Tinkers said they were collaborating with other telcos and the government on the “technically challenging and quite complex” ability to deliver emergency roaming. “We are investigating and doing the simulations to ensure that we cover all of those bases to understand exactly how we can deliver this really effectively to regional communities during disasters,” Mr Tinkers said. “Emergency roaming enables your device during a disaster, if your mobile network is not operational and there is another network that is operational, to be able to roam onto that network and make calls and get text messages and some data.” “This is a collaborative approach with all of the mobile network providers across Australia and the federal government of Australia to be able to deliver this really innovative service. “We think it’s fantastic and will be a great outcome, particularly for regional areas during these disasters.” A Telstra spokesperson said the initiatives were particularly needed

now, with bushfires already causing havoc in the Byron Shire and this summer set to be the hottest on record. Improved power backup via automatic transfer units will be made available at 22 Telstra network sites across the Northern Rivers by the end of 2024, allowing authorities to hook up portable generators to exchanges and mobile base solutions during a power outage. Locations include Ballina, Buckendoon, Coraki, Lennox Head and Woodburn, which host some of the major communications infrastructure for the Tweed Shire which went down in the 2022 floods. This summer, a new trailer-mounted, high-powered generator is being rolled out to a key part of the Northern Rivers region, including one to be based at Casino. There will also be a dedicated group of people called the Telstra Response Team ready to respond in the event of a natural disaster. The team will be made up of more than 3,000 people including a crew of technicians who will be deployed to repair critical equipment and restore connectivity to communities living through a natural disaster. It also includes disaster assistance agents who are ready to take calls on 1800 888 888. There will also b e m o re d at a available during a disaster for Telstra customers on a monthly mobile plan who will automatically receive 100GB of extra data on their ser vice if they’re in a disaster-affected area.

Top teacher recognised By Jo Kennett

A KINGSCLIFF High School creative and performing arts teacher has won a prestigious state award for her work on the Schools Spectacular. Karen Levi was awarded the Mary Lopez Medallion for her work with the Far North Coast Dance Festival and coordination of Schools Spectacular for Kingscliff High School and its community. Mary Lopez (AM) is one of Australia’s most awarded females in the music and entertainment industry and is the creator of Schools Spectacular. Each year the NSW Department of Education presents the Mary Lopez Medal to a recipient in recognition of their contributions of outstanding significance to the Schools Spectacular. The medal was presented by the Secretary of the Department of Education, Murat Dizdar, at the secretary’s banquet to open the Schools Spectacular event. Kingscliff High School posted the news on community Facebook pages around the Tweed and the response was a testament to Ms Levi’s work. “So well deserved”, one post said. “Congrats. You deserve a lot of credit for all the time and energy you put into providing students with multiple opportunities across primary and high school. Such an inspiring

teacher,” another posted. “Absolutely world class woman, couldn’t have gone to a better human. Well deserved.” Kingscliff High School principal Michael Hensley recognised Ms Levi for her “outstanding contribution” in the Kingscliff High School newsletter. “This thoroughly deserved recognition emphasises how lucky we are to have Karen in our school community,” he said. Mary Lopez messaged Ms Levi on the Kingscliff High School Facebook page afterwards. “Kingscliff HS has been a major contributor to SS (School Spectacular) almost since its inception,” Ms Lopez said. “I was delighted that Karen received my medal. “She is an amazing teacher and is a shining star amongst all the extraordinary teachers in the family of SS. Congratulations Karen — you’re fabulous.” Ms Levi responded, “Thank you for creating such a wonderful opportunity for our students,” she said. “It really is spectac ular and has given us life long memories.”

Tweed Citizen of the Year Joan Henderson on Refugees LAST WEEK I had the privilege of attending Parliament House in Canberra to participate in the launch of a historic campaign. North Sydney MP Kylea Tink announced a Private Member’s Bill to limit Immigration Detention to a 90 day period, and called for a Royal Commission into Australia’s Immigration Detention regime (pictured below). This landmark campaign is supported by a coalition of organisations which includes the Sydney Justice and Peace Office, Grandmothers for Refugees, Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Rural Australians for Refugees, Teachers and Academics for Refugees and Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project. The launch also has the support of Independent MPs and the Greens. Research undertaken by The Australia Institute in August 2023 showed that 79 per cent of Australians would support a Royal Commission into Australia’s offshore detention policy, including 75 per cent of Coalition voters and 67 per cent of One Nation voters. In July, the Guardian reported on rorts and dubious contractual arrangements with Nauru and PNG, revealing a system beyond the reach of national or human rights oversight. The Sydney Morning Herald also reported this year on the payment of millions of taxpayer dollars for suspect contracts. Kylea Tink stated that in the nine years from 2013 to 2022, over $9.65 billion has been spent on offshore detention alone, and there have been 37 suicides related to immigration detention. Five people who had been indefinitely detained on Manus Island or Nauru gave compelling and devastating testimony of their experiences, and paid tribute to their friends who had died there. Behrouz Boochani was one of those five peo-

ple bearing witness. We also heard from the young Australian workers whose trauma remains with them 10 years on, and who need to tell their fellow Australians about what they witnessed in those detention centres. There have been many allegations of torture, including a UN report in 2016, systemic abuse of men and women, and numerous articles written about the extremely harmful impact of this privatised detention model. It is vital to our democracy that our legislation and policies are based on evidence. In this, my final column, I would like to conclude by saying that during my 10 years of voluntary work with refugees, I have made truly wonderful friendships and learned so much about other cultures, but I have also witnessed the trauma we have caused and terrible harm we have done to so many strong, courageous and talented people. There was a time when our leaders worked in a bipartisan way to bring us together by showing compassion towards refugees. The journey back to that decent, caring country begins with transparency and telling the truth about the harm done in our name to people who have come seeking peace and safety. Please sign the petition for a royal commission into Australia’s immigration detention via the online link: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/ petition/EN5644

From the Farm Fire ants with Craig Huf NSW Farmers - Far North Coast Branch

90862

WITH THE first incident of fire ants spreading from Queensland to NSW, questions are rightly being asked: how did this happen? We all know prevention would have been far, far better than this painful “cure” we are now experiencing. Many local businesses and farmers want answers as to why the biosecurity protection system is not functioning properly and how these incredibly destructive pests have been allowed to be carried over the border. As such, recent calls for more biosecurity funding and roadside checks seem to have fallen on deaf ears. No one is calling for a COVID-19-style border blockade, but it is clear more days of random checks of high-risk fire ant carriers would help send an important message to those thinking their actions are of no consequence. A border checkpoint system needs to be in place not only for fire ants but in readiness for other looming threats like foot and mouth, and lumpy skin disease, which many believe will be here in a matter of time. The NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI), who govern biosecurity, seem to be underfunded and continue to move towards an industry self-regulation model. As heard in recent community meetings on Friday, December 1, their management strategy is largely reliant on “trust”. Sadly, it was mostly non-compliance that resulted in the failure of the varroa mite containment program, which has brought ongoing devastation to the bee industry. One recent and

are here: why?

still very fresh lesson that this failure taught us is that solely relying on people to do the right thing amongst biosecurity pressures is a highly flawed approach. We are aware of a recent example where a local rural merchandise store, awaiting clearance after the fire ant lockdown, was asked by a customer to “just supply the hay anyway because no one will ever know.” To date the grand total of physical “border protection” measures have been a two-day roadside check named “Operation Victa” at Yelgun. Operation Victa did not cover the route from the border to Murwillumbah. Unfortunately, it was this route that seems to have let fire ants cross the border into NSW for the first time. What these two days of checks did do is demonstrate how open the border is. With only 90 vehicles checked, several vehicles were found non-compliant and turned around back to Queensland. In a meeting some months ago at Jannelle Saffin’s office in Lismore, a delegation from the Far North Coast Branch of NSW Farmers Association stressed the importance of better border biosecurity with the agricultural minister. The minister had announced $95 million funding earlier in the year, but it seems the lion’s share of that is allocated to the National Fire Ant program controlling fire ants in Queensland. All indications are that little of that funding stayed in NSW to protect our state from the march of the ants south in the short term.

Pottsville phone tower Continued from page 3 “We have a duty as elected representatives of these people to do what is right and to ensure that our community has basic access to infrastructure and telecommunications that assists in calling an ambulance and running a business,” he said. Cr Byrnes said “the two most devastating floods in our history” had shown the critical need for basic access to phone and internet. “This will not fix the problem entirely but it is a good first step,” Cr Byrnes said. Pottsville resident Gregg Miller has been fighting for the telecommunications infrastructure for years, contacting many politicians over the years and documenting the problems.

“We need to congratulate Reece Byrnes for the effort he did as a councillor,” he said. “He started the petition and Ben (a local resident) got everyone to sign the petition. “I got their petition and street walked in our area and got all the residents to sign as well. “I started fighting for this in 2018 and wrote to the Liberal government at the time, Bridget McKenzie and Mitch Fifield, and they replied and said it was just the area we live in and basically we would just have to put up with it. Geoff Provest’s office said it was a federal issue.” “We need to thank council for approving it. It’s going to benefit the whole community. We are now going to be able to connect to the world.”

Local horror film

By Jonathon Howard

MURWILLUMBAH FILM-MAKER and TAFE teacher Clint Cure is currently shooting a self-funded horror film in the Tweed Shire and Gold Coast, set for release in mid-2024. Mr Cure has been an educator in the film and production sector for the past decade and has a background in animation. The film is a twist on the famous Bram Stoker’s Dracula and is pulling all the talent of his students together from NSW and Queensland. “A small-town troupe of theatre actors who attempt to film their own movie version of Dracula encounter a dark twist when their leader is a blood-sucking vampire,” he said. Mr Cure wrote the script entitled ‘Dracula Revamped’ and is aiming to spend around $7,000, which is considered quite a low budget.

“It’s shoestring budget and the students are from Kingscliff TAFE past and current, as well as Queensland-based New York Film Academy and Coomera TAFE all getting involved,” he said. “We have some great talent in the acting pool to draw on and they’re loving the script.” Mr Cure recently filmed at Dungay where he shot the ending in an empty farmhouse. “I’d like to thank the local farming family who allowed us to film in an old home, which provided the perfect setting for our grand finale,” he said. “I’m not at the stage of knowing distribution as yet, but we’re eager to screen the film at some major film festivals and gauge the response. “We are also planning a screening at The Regent in Murwillumbah, so which this space.”

VIEW icon retires Seven local grants By Jonathon Howard

By Jonathon Howard & VIEW Club

AFTER 32 years of commitment to the Murwillumbah Day VIEW Club, well-known local Margeurite Boyd has called time on her role in the executive committee. Marguerite has contributed a great deal to the club over the past three decades, making new members feel welcome and helping the VIEW Club to thrive. “We will find it difficult to replace such a diligent and personable representative of our club,” Day VIEW Club publicity officer Annette Adsett said. “Hopefully, Margeurite will still attend meetings regularly to keep us up to her exacting standards.” The Murwillumbah Day VIEW Club is part of the Smith Family which endeavours to support thousands of students experiencing disadvantage. The charity aims to raise $5.3 million nationally through a Christmas appeal and this will provide more than 12,600 children access to critical learning and mentoring programs to help them stay engaged and motivated at school. “This includes programs like ‘student2student’, which pairs younger students with young reading buddies, and after-school learning clubs, where students get support with their homework from trained volunteers,” Annette said. “The entire VIEW Club community would like to extend a big ‘thank you’ to Margeurite for her commitment to the club and outstanding influence over the years.” For more information on the appeal, please visit: www.smithfamily.com.au or phone: 1800 024 069. To find out more about the local Day VIEW Club please phone: 0416 054 485.

SEVEN LOCAL community groups have been named in the annual round of funding from the Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) The 2023 community grants from NRCF include Tyalgum Community Hall Association, Story Dogs Murwillumbah, Zephyr Education, Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre, Indigenous Futures Foundation, Seaside Shelter and Baby Give Back. NRCF CEO Sam Henderson said the grants are supporting grassroots organisations with grants of up to $10,000. “The NRCF Community Grant Giving Event is always a special evening to gather and celebrate the amazing work of community groups across the Northern Rivers, and the generosity of locals which enables that work to happen,”

Margeurite Boyd has called time at VIEW Club following three decades of commitment

he said. “These community grants mean that 38 incredible local organisations, including seven from the Tweed, embedded in their communities, staffed by local people, people who understand the place they live, understand the need, will be able to make their projects realities. “These grants span youth projects to animal welfare, housing to disaster recovery, wellbeing to wildlife protection, family and domestic violence support to riparian zone restoration, and from women’s empowerment to arts development and inclusion. “We celebrate this diversity — which showcases what it is to be in a thriving region like the Northern Rivers.” The full recipient list is available online: nrcf. org.au/grants/2023-2024-community-grant-recipients/

Love can last a lifetime By Jonathon Howard

AFTER SIX decades, Murwillumbah residents Robert and Roslyn Venn are still very much in love, as they prepare to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary on Thursday, December 21. Their love story is a testament to their enduring commitment to each other, having shared joys and weathering life’s storms hand-in-hand. Robert and Roslyn tied the knot at the Cronulla Elephant House in 1963, a day the couple remember extremely well. Tales of Robert’s unwavering support and Roslyn’s nurturing kindness paint a vivid portrait of a marriage built on respect, understanding, and a mutual commitment to living life together. The couple still exchange glances that speak volumes of their bond, conveying a silent language forged through years of companionship. Their secret to a long and happy marriage includes respect, commitment and family. “We’ve always found ways to get through tough times by communicating and ensuring we are listening to each other’s needs,” the couple said. Robert retired from car sales in 1997 and is now performing as an amateur artist on the country music scene. Roslyn is focused on their family which includes their two sons Neil and Rodney, along with their two grandchildren Chris and Luke. “We were married in our 20s and it was quite daunting because we lived in a garage together, it was a simple life,” Robert said. “I remember

when Roslyn fell pregnant the landlord kicked us out.” The couple have been through their share of tough times, but always shared each other’s companionship and a positive outlook. “We started off with nothing and we made the move up from Sydney to the Tweed On their wedding day with our eldest boy at in 1963 one year old,” they said. “It was hard to make ends meet here initially and it took time to find work.” Robert eventually became a strong local car salesman and found success at Partridge and Walker which later became Sunrise Ford. Their advice to other couples is to respect each other and listen to the needs of your partner. “I love Roslyn after all these years, and as her carer I do become frustrated, but I’m getting through it,” Robert said. “I still see the same man in Robert that I married in the 1960s and we’ve been through the good times and bad together,” Roslyn said. Robert and Roslyn’s love story will forever be etched in their hear ts through the enduring magic of love, commitment and a lifetime of shared moments. Still in love after 60 years

Adopt a family MOMENTUM COLLECTIVE Tweed Assertive Outreach team is calling on residents to help adopt a less fortunate family this Christmas. The appeal comes as the Momentum team won the 2023 Premier’s Award in the Connecting Communities category. We are collecting toys, non-perishable food and gift cards to bring warmth and happiness to some of our clients who are women and children experiencing domestic violence, and homeless people in Northern NSW,” Momentum Marketing Coordinator Isabella Sill said. “Donations can be dropped off by December 15 at our Tweed office, 35 Wharf Street, Tweed Heads.” Momentum’s Tweed Heads Assertive Outreach program started as a pilot in 2019. The service is delivered in collaboration with NSW Health, Department of Communities and Justice, and Social Futures. The program supports rough sleepers in finding accommodation and gaining the skills to

maintain a long-term tenancy. It has significantly reduced the number of rough sleepers in the Tweed Shire, housing 140 people, of whom 95 per cent have maintained their tenancies. Momentum Collective CEO Tracey Mackie congratulated the team for securing the prestigious award. “Our case managers engage with individuals facing homelessness within the community,” Ms Mackie said. “We are committed to understanding each person holistically and developing personalised plans tailored to meet our clients’ unique needs. “Our initial focus is on getting our clients into temporary accommodation. “The Assertive Outreach program also provides additional supports, such as referrals to healthcare professionals like doctors and dentists, assistance with an NDIS application, when needed, and connections to other service providers.”

Momentum Assertive Outreach Team is calling for some extra help to ease the financial burden for so many local families

Classical Indian music at the Hub By Madeleine Murray

LIVE MUSIC DEC | FREE ENTRY

A CLASSICAL INDIAN VOCALIST will give a concert with two other musicians at the Holistic Hub in Murwillumbah on Sunday December 17. Hindustani vocalist Sri Vinayak Huggannavar will be joined by Sri Sangeet Mishra on sarangi and Sri Shen Flindell on tabla for an evening concert. Vinayak and Sangeet, both from Mumbai, come from musical families. Vinayak is a fourthgeneration vocalist, and Sangeet is an eighthgeneration sarangi player. Vinayak has received many awards including first place in the All India Radio Competition. Sangeet travels in India and internationally, playing traditional as well as world fusion music. Rooted firmly in the ancient traditions and techniques of classical music, Sangeet is a popular musician and has recorded on many Bollywood film soundtracks. “The first time I heard classical Indian music, my soul felt transported to another place, a peaceful reality where time was of no consequence,” Spirited Events’ producer Dana Mynard told The Weekly. “Vinayak, Sangeet, and Shen will enchant you with their delicate nuanced melodies, stringed echoes of ancient traditions, and tantalising rhythms coming together in improvised musical conversation.” The sarangi, known as the instrument of 100 colours, is a short, bowed stringed instrument with three main and 36 sympathetic strings. The 100 colours refers to the haunting, echo-like sound of the instrument, and its unique ability to mimic the nuances of the human voice. Shen Flindell on tabla (Indian drum) regularly accompanies visiting Indian vocalists, instrumentalists, and dancers. He teaches tabla in Brisbane and is dedicated to spreading the beauty of Indian classical music. For aspiring singers,

Women storm The Citadel By Madeleine Murray

THREE GROUPS of female-focused artists are coming to The Citadel Murwillumbah on Friday December 15. The three bands, Sky Eater, Hayley Grace & The Bay Collective, and Tanuki Band, have been funded by Music NSW to tour Murwillumbah, Armidale and Coffs Harbour. “We’d love to have a full house, to really showcase and show appreciation for the powerful women leading bands and supporting women in music in our community,” sax player and singer Chelsea Skyeater told The Weekly. With a female horn section, Sky Eater has elements of Sade, Morcheeba and Salmonella Dub. There is reverb-soaked piano, dreamy vocal melodies, jazz-infused beats and soulful lyrics. “We are super excited about bringing our

original music to the shows, with the hope of inspiring people from all walks of life, gender and experience to express themselves creatively,” Chelsea said. “Sky Eater’s lyrics have a theme of empowerment, empathy and following your dreams – a message we are passionate about sharing with the world.” Hayley Grace & The Bay Collective is a raucous nine-piece group from Byron that embodies the spirit of funk and soul. Featuring a full horn ensemble, a strong rhythm section and six lead vocalists, The Collective is a powerful force. Tanuki Band is a rhythm and blues group from Bellingen.

Threads of Time at Art Post Uki By Madeleine Murray

UKI ARTIST Lisa Robertson’s show Threads of Time opens on Thursday December 7 at the Uki post office. The cryptic title comes from the materials of Lisa’s art. She takes salvaged fragments of glass and pottery burnished from years of buffeting sea off the west coast of Scotland and turns them into precious gems held in the embrace of intricate crochet stitching. “When I lived in Sydney, I would beachcomb the shores of the harbour to find sea glass to use in my art,” Lisa told The Weekly. “I gradually connected with a global group of other beachcombers who collect for each other from wherever they are. I fell in love with these beautiful Scottish pieces and knew I could work with the history they represent.” The innovative artist opens our eyes to the value of reclaiming old lost objects and trans-

forming them into works of wearable beauty with meaning and history. Their mysterious provenance adds mystique to her work. Was this piece of glass part of a lantern in a crofter’s cottage? Or a porthole window? Or a medieval jug? Lisa taught history for 20 years in schools around Sydney before moving to the Northern Rivers in 2019 to focus on her art practice. She launched Funky Bunny Designs two years ago when she opened her studio in Murwillumbah’s M|Arts Precinct. Her creations have been featured in Marie Claire and Homespun magazines, and in multiple group exhibitions. Threads of Time opens at 6.30pm on Thursday, December 7, at the Uki Post Office. It can be seen 7am-5pm weekdays, 7am-12.30pm Saturday and 8am-12.30pm Sunday. The exhibition ends January 17. Picnic in the Park Uki will be on Thursday December 7 from 4pm. Music by Loren from 4pm, carols with Wendy Grace at 5.30pm, and Santa on the fire truck at 6pm.

Big moves at Potty tennis club By Jo Kennett

POTTSVILLE BEACH Tennis Club (PBTC) is losing a great coach but gaining another one who everyone can meet at the club Christmas party and tennis day on Sunday, December 10. The club thanked Dom Gambaro for his commitment and dedication over the past year. "Coming from Kooyong Tennis Club, Dom brought a very professional, high quality style of coaching to Pottsville and he has contributed considerably to the growth of junior player numbers and junior involvement in competitions and tournaments. Dom has personally fostered some of the older junior members, who are now well-equipped to assist with coaching at in-house tennis clinics. We have all noticed the marked improvement in the appearance of the grounds and courts since Dom's arrival, it is also noted that he has generously donated four court sweepers, four scoreboards and the roller water soaker (plus various other pieces of coaching equipment) to the club. "The club has been extremely happy to have had Dom as Head Coach and we recognise our steady growth in all aspects since Dom's arrival," club president Claude Williams said. "Dom will be sorely missed and we thank him for his contributions, constant support and encouragement. We wish him well for his

future ventures." From January 1, 2024, Sophie Letcher has been contracted as Head Coach at the club. She grew up training and competing in Melbourne with Ash Barty in a family of elite tennis professionals and played in the main draw of the Australian Open 2011 and competed on the Women's Professional Tour (WTA & ITF) around Australia and the world. She was number one junior player in Australia and later developed a love for coaching, connecting with players, developing relationships, sharing her skills, time, knowledge and love of the game.

Kitey almighty! Cudgen coach Poisell steps down By Jo Kennett

HE’S NOT the messiah, he’s just a bloody good footy coach and he’s back. Brent Kite took the Tweed Coast Raiders to one of the most exciting and unexpected wins over Ballina in NRRRL history in 2018 and backed up again in 2020. The Raiders dropped down to seventh place this year, so having Kite back might be the boost they need to get back on track to put up a fight for the premiership next season. Raiders captain Drew Lanston said the club is very happy to have Brent back on board. “What he brings is unmatched,” Lanston said. “He is a great coach and person and has had a very big influence on the club previously.

“When his name came back up to potentially coach Raiders again it was a no brainer, we had to get him. “We just lacked some direction and development last year and there no one better to teach that then Kitey. “Also we still have Mickey Gordon at the club who is another great leader we can learn off and get us to the level we need too.” Kite won’t be up against 2023 premiership winning coach Bryce Poisell, who has stepped down from his role after another thrilling upset to take down the two favourite teams this year, first Bilambil Jets, who had been looking unstoppable, in a 17-16 semi-final thriller and then Ballina. Like the Raiders in 2018, Cudgen went out and blasted the favourites off the field 18-4, giving Poisell and his team the premiership the club had been chasing for years.

In shock news Poisell has stepped down with Wayne Forbes taking on the coaching role at Cudgen. “It meant a lot to me and the boys and the club to get that win,” Poisell said. “The club hasn’t won in nearly 20 years, 2006, so it was pretty special to get the win. “We had a lot of support down there and a lot of the old boys came to training and got behind us so it meant a lot. “We knew we could win but we knew it would be tough because Ballina were the benchmark all year. “We had a rollercoaster season and no one had ever won it from fifth place before so it was really great.” Poisell has been coaching at Cudgen for three years and says he wants to spend more time with his wife and young family.

Coach Bryce Poisell (in black) is stepping down after his premiership win

“I will be away with work a bit next year so it wouldn’t have been fair to stay,” he said. “After three or four years I feel like you’ve given all you can so it’s time for someone else to step in and take you to the next level. “Wayne Forbes has a good reputation and his son is Jet Forbes, a

young Cudgen player that went to the Sharks in the Under 18s and he is back next year. “Wayne has been coaching up on the Gold Coast and has good credentials so I think the club will be left in good hands.” We will have updates on Bilambil and Murwillumbah coming up.

Rain sends Cudgen to third place in LJ Hooker League By Jo Kennett

CUDGEN IS sitting in third place on the leaderboard half way through Round 5 of the two-day LJ Hooker League with Goonellabah on top, Casino in second place, Murwillumbah in 7th and Pottsville in 9th position. Cudgen easily beat Ballina Bear in Round 1, Captain Alec Williams said they played Tintenbar in Round 2 and bowled really well. “We bowled them out for about 150. James Julius and Pat Rosser both bowled really well. James took three wickets and Pat took five,” Alec said. “We went into bat in a dominant position at 1/90 overnight and then unfortunately it rained during the week we weren’t able to play even though we were pretty certain to get the win.” That rain sent Cudgen down to third place. “In Round three we were in a bit of trouble against Murwillumbah,”

Alec said. “Connor Ziebell played his first game for the season and got 91 and I got a few as well.” Alec scored 180, possibly Cudgen’s second highest score, with Caleb Ziebell previously scoring 190. “Tom (Byrnes) makes a big difference and I think Murwillumbah will win a lot of games. They have a good club there and it’s growing to be bigger and better,” Alec said. “We bowled first against Pottsville, Pat and I were away playing in the Country Championships. “They made 240 so they would have been pretty confident. “James Julius took four wickets again and then they had us 6/100 chasing 240 and Pat came in batting the second week and hit 120 not out off 60 balls. “It’s probably one of the best innings I’ve seen for Cudgen. It was unbelievable. They were all over us and he just flipped the game on his

head. “We are in a pretty ordinary position going into next week. We are missing seven from our side and we struggled and finished on 140 against Marist Brothers. “Everyone is back this week. They need 85 to win with seven wickets in hand but we are pretty confident.” Pottsville player Nate Pryke said they struggled at the start with injuries and people away. “We have a new Pom and Giles Creedon and last week (first day of Round 5) we won the first innings,” Nate said. “We bowled Ballina out for 85 and chased them down. It was a great day with the ball. “Jake Langon and I opened the bowling and had them five down within the first 12 overs. “Jake ended up with 3/22 and I ended up with 4/14. “We lead by 112 going into this week. Giles got 49, (Kagisho) Pedi and Jamie Tripp are not out so we

are leading by 12 so hopefully we will go back and bowl them out to get the outright win. “We played Cudgen in Round 4 and started well at 9/185 and we had five overs left and Sam Acret scored 43 and took us to 241. “We started well bowling at 6/106 and then Pat Rosser came out and scored 112 off 70 balls so it was a heartbreaking afternoon. To bounce back this week with Sam Acret and Nathan Wilson out was great.” Murwillumbah president Adam Housen said they beat Alstonville with 9/152 to 119 in Round 1. “We played Goonellabah in Round 2 and lost,” Adam told The Weekly. “Round 3 we played Cudgen who declared at 9/364 on the first day. “We batted for the last part of the first day and all over the second day with 72.4 overs and we really stopped an outright win, at 10/247. “We only got bowled out near the end. Tommy Byrnes got 83.”

In Round 4 Murwillumbah played the Ballina Bears and lost. “On the first day of Round 5 last weekend we played Tintenbar East Ballina and Tommy Byrnes scored 125 not out in our first innings off 146 balls,” Adam said. “We were all out for 227 and Tintenbar has 0/86 in reply going into the second day this weekend.”

An “electric” spring selling season with stock short

THERE HAS been plenty of action this spring selling season, with some international buyers purchasing properties sight unseen and a lack of stock keeping prices high. Northern Rivers Property Group cofounders Adrianna Jenkins and Paul Stobbie said the spring season has gone well. “There’s definitely more buyers in the market now compared to last spring and we are seeing more properties getting multiple offers compared to this time last year,” they said. “Of the last 25 offers we have received, 14 were interstate or international and 11 were locals. “We have even had buyers from Spain, Hong Kong and England recently who we have assisted with the sale almost entirely virtually and through video calls and video inspections. “There are quite a few clients selling their investment properties, obviously the multiple interest rate rises are a lot to carry, but anyone who purchased before 2019 is still getting fantastic prices and doing well out of their investments.” Adrianna and Paul said there is about half the stock compared to what they see traditionally. “So if the marketing is done well there’s no need for sellers to lower prices,” they said.

“As an agent, you should be able to encourage multiple offers in most cases. “There’s still a lot of buyers looking for houses in the CBD and units, duplexes and townhouses are sought after for first-home buyers. “There is always a natural lull over Christmas, but it’s really important to get your property ready now if you are thinking of selling in the New Year. “Take photos before Christmas, organise paperwork and then take advantage of the online marketing over the holidays when everyone is sitting on their phones with previews of what is coming in the new year.” Owner of DJ Stringer Property Services David Stringer said the spring selling this year has been “electric.” “We are experiencing over 52 per cent in growth, $30 million more than last year,” David said. “Buyers have mostly been sourced locally and from Brisbane, however, we have noticed an increase of enquiry from Canberra. “A large percentage of Melbourne and Sydney buyers have been investors looking to capitalise on an increasing Gold Coast market that is still booming with development.” David said quite a lot of sellers have been locals downsizing and staying local, and

Tweed Head West units like this one at 16/182-184 Kennedy Drive for sale with DJ Stringer are in demand with first-home buyers investors either reducing debt or upgrading their investment portfolios. “Stock is still relatively limited and buyers are still out in their numbers,” David said. “Prices should reflect what is on offer and remain subject to buyer feedback. Generally speaking, properties should usually sell within 30 to 60 days. “There is strong demand for coastal areas as usual, as well as the more affordable areas such as Tweed Heads West that offers first-home owners and investors a chance to enter the market. “Rural acreage property around the Northern Rivers and Tweed regions have

been extremely popular, enticing both interstate buyers and families looking for more space to enjoy the great outdoors.” David said he thinks summer will be good as well, especially for those operating on both sides of the border. “The main issue is not having enough stock to accommodate a surge in buyer activity, especially coming off a blossoming spring selling season,” he said. “For sellers, now is the time to list their properties for sale, in relative isolation, thus taking full advantage of the upcoming peak period, which will ultimately yield a more fruitful sale price.”
