The farmer is completely unaware that he is being pursued by two unhinged criminals, played by Nathan Phillips and Steve Mouzakis (The Stranger). Once the lone farmer discovers the duo’s motive, a simple drive home turns into a brutal fight for survival. Mr Brown said the crew were en-

joying filming in Murwillumbah and took advice from Occupation (2018) director Luke Sparke, who recommended Taylors Corner as a great location for filming. “We’re only here for the day, but it’s a beautiful town and the service station was perfect for our scene,” he said.

Petitions falling flat By Jonathon Howard

PETITIONS ARE having little to no effect in sparing the Tweed’s koala population, according to Councillor Meredith Dennis, who said she’s seen four petitions lodged with hundreds of signatures but all have “fallen on deaf ears”. Cr Dennis slammed the petition process during Tweed Shire Council’s monthly meeting on Thursday, February 15, following Team Koala’s fourth petition demanding speed reductions on Clothiers Creek Road from 70km to 50km per hour to reduce koala deaths. Cr Dennis said many of the speed reduction projects, including on Clothiers Creek Road, were already “committed with funding but were going under-delivered”, which is resulting in a desperate situation for koalas and disheartening petitioners. “The matter has gone to the state government in June last year and we need to follow up on that,” she said. “Council has referred the matter to Transport for NSW but has not yet received a formal response, which is now urgent and arguably overdue. “These residents and signatories are entitled to action and/or a response and we’re

not delivering and meanwhile the Tweed koala population is in rapid decline.” Cr Dennis said she understands that petitions have a process, but stressed that without real action petitions do not appear to have the desired effect in the democratic process. “Is it worth people doing these petitions or is it a waste of paper?” she questioned during the meeting. Council staff responded by stating that roads are assessed based on road safety not around wildlife, and is not part of the Transport for NSW guidelines. “Just reducing the speed limit doesn’t mean people will reduce the speed,” council’s Director Engineering David Oxenham said. Meanwhile, dedicated koala advocate and Team Koala president Jenny Hayes, who has been fighting for more than a decade to help stem the surge in koala deaths, says members are disheartened and at exhaustion point. “After ten years of Team Koala working tirelessly for such a precious cause, with koalas on the brink of extinction on the Tweed, it is quite horrific to think that progress is limited and slow and that our children will never see koalas in the wild,”

Team Koala members fear the future of the local koala population is uncertain

she said. “Team Koala will never give up, but there comes a point, after countless numbers of petitions being submitted to Tweed Shire Council, month after month, year after year, there being an exhaustion point where even the most caring and passionate members become disheartened. “I would like to thank the supportive councillors who are pushing for koala-friendly road measures on Clothiers Creek Road including Deputy Mayor Meredith Dennis, Mayor Chris Cherry and Cr Nola Firth. “I urge all the members of the community, if you care about our koala’s tragic plight, to speak to your local member of Parliament or local councillor to do something about this koala crisis.”

Motion to clean up Tweed entry By Jonathon Howard

Cr Brinsmead divided the motion into two parts: short-term and long-term actions. Short-term actions include calling on council staff to further work with Tweed police and Tweed Mall to address the graffiti and abandoned shopping trolleys that “plague the streets, including the impounding of trolleys outside of the shopping mall’s property”. The motion included undertaking an audit in the first half of 2024 of the Tweed CBD and surrounding streets (Wharf Street and Bay Street), and parks and infrastructure, to identify immediate and interim measures that can be under-

taken for beautification of the area such as pressure cleaning council infrastructure including, but not limited to, bins, benches, seating, playgrounds, paths and walkways and bus stops; graffiti removal; revitalisation of the current landscaped areas; and consideration of options for festive and aesthetic lighting. “A new Community Safety Audit to be conducted with the NSW Police for the precinct which can provide recommendations to address safety, homelessness, and other issues in this precinct, noting that the last audit was undertaken in 2016,” the motion reads Continues on page 22.

Tweed Heads is a beautiful part of Australia, but the entryway is in question this month

COUNCILLOR RHIANNON Brinsmead successfully moved a motion to investigate ways to clean up the Tweed’s entry from Coolangatta at Wharf Street, which many residents believe is long overdue (see letters page 4). The motion was raised for a vote during Tweed Shire Council’s monthly meeting on Thursday, February 15. Cr Brinsmead said the Tweed CBD motion is “community driven and was born from residents and businesses contacting myself and Cr (James) Owen desperately asking for help”. “We met with, and spoke to, countless residents and businesses in the lead up to the notice of motion to really understand the issues as they saw them,” she said. “We also have an ongoing dialogue with the Tweed police and NSW Government agencies, including Homes for NSW, in relation to criminal and antisocial behaviour, and issues associated with homelessness in that precinct.” Cr Brinsmead said seven to ten points within the motion are important and “we will now relentlessly push to see them actioned”.

Speak up and tell it how it is on entryway

At last we have a Tweed Shire councillor speaking up and telling it how it is (TVW, February 15). It is an absolute embarrassment and a disgrace to see the entrance to the Tweed Coast so rundown with graffiti, homelessness on the streets, broken up footpaths, and anti-social behaviour with the homeless abusing one another and unlucky tourists who cross their path. Go across the border into Griffith Street, Coolangatta, and there you see a council prepared to support the area with very well-maintained parks and streetscape to attract the tourist dollars, which in turn supports the business community and locals. Coolangatta is a standout for the Gold Coast that is unquestionably the best end of the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast council recognises this, as does the vibrant restaurant, hotel and club scene. Where is the pride of the council? We pay enormous rates and get nothing in return. It is high time the homeless were moved on, the graffiti removed, and the streetscape totally redone to take us forward as a vibrant, green neighbourhood. You could start with the beautification of Bay Street. We were blessed when Bread Social and Rob Roy both moved in and we have watched the transition into the Tweed’s ‘eat street’. Yes, the shopkeepers and local support have done this with zero support from the council. It is high time they took a good hard look at the streetscape and spent some money to bring it up to the standard of Griffith Street. The plants currently in place must have been the leftover plants from somewhere else, they have no imagination. For goodness sake, have some pride and fix the problem and stop having meetings that achieve nothing.

We should have a showpiece entry

I read with interest Cr Brinsmead’s observations about Tweed Heads’ “gateway” (TVW, February 15), the intersection of Wharf and Bay streets, as well as nearby surrounds. The councillor is spot on, the area is an abomination, a blight on the community and an insult to ratepayers. I fear Tweed Shire Council, given the proposed redevelopment of Tweed Mall, think they can sit on their hands for the next decade and let developers take responsibility — as if that’s ever worked. The problem of dangerous anti-social behaviour combined with the ugliness of the precinct needs to be addressed now, otherwise an area that should be a public space showpiece will simply be a symbol of neglect. Stevie Barr, Tweed Heads

Action needed on entry to Tweed

I totally agree (TVW, February 15, ‘Tweed entry in dire state’). It’s such a bad entrance to look at. The graffiti just stays there and the council do nothing about it. The shops that own the trolleys that are left everywhere should hire more people to go and collect them all. Everyone should get together and tell the council to up their game. Graffiti is everywhere, even heading down to South Tweed along the other side of the river on old buildings. Judi Taylor, Tweed Heads

Town needs a shake-up

I have lived in central Tweed Heads for 15 years and have noticed a significant decline in its surrounds. It has long been an embarrassment to show visitors around our town. I am very sympathetic to the homeless and understand they like to be close to facilities, but to hang around,

taking up benches all day that the elderly may need to sit on is selfish. Also, an embarrassment is the old, ugly bus stop where NSW ends and Queensland begins. It is a dreadful, dirty concrete structure where people hang around for excessive periods. The bus shelter across the road where we welcome visitors from all over the world via Queensland is a very unimpressive little structure. I used to feel safe walking down the street for a meal and home again in the evenings. Now we have to get our car out and drive 30 seconds down the road to avoid any trouble around the area. People openly drink alcohol around Jack Evans Boat Harbour and become loud and foul mouthed. They put up their tents there, light fires and have their dogs bark all throughout the night. Tweed Heads was once a safe, clean and respectable place to live and wander around in. We have recently moved from Bay Street after seven years and I recall having to call the police several times to report drug taking in the car park at the shopping centre and other incidents that put the public at risk. There has been a community meeting to address our concerns, but no solutions found. Our town needs a shake-up. Our great and incredibly stretched Tweed police do a fantastic job, but they can’t be in our town day and night to deal with these mounting issues. Surely the massive residential buildings popping up here are providing the extra revenue for the council to throw some money behind resolving critical issues in our once beautiful Tweed Heads. Gabi Smally, Tweed Heads

More police on the beat please

My wife and I have lived in the Tweed for the past 50 years and hope

to stick it out for many more having moved here in 1974. Some of our suggestions to smarten up our city are first up addressing the shopping trolley dumping. Force Coles and Woolworths to make their customers use a $2 coin in the slot as Aldi do and they will be returned to the shopping centre. Not often do you see an Aldi trolley left out in the street. Next up, where is the police presence? Since we have moved into the city centre of Tweed, due to my physical condition, I have only seen two police officers on the beat. It was early at Jack Evans Boat Harbour on New Years Eve — please do more regular patrols. We don’t venture out at night as the streets are full of wandering homeless high on substances, yelling and screaming into the early hours of the morning. This is not a good look; we need many more police or contracted security on foot or bicycles to address this problem. We back these wonderful overworked police, who have a big battle as some of our society descends into mayhem. I myself was swimming at Little D’bah Beach at midday a few months ago, when a bad looking person, well known to the local police I found out after I reported him at the station. He decided to have a go at stealing my fully NSW legal electric bike, when he couldn’t remove it from the tree that it was locked to in three places, he came to the beach and started throwing large rocks at me as I was still in the water. They fell just short of striking me, thank goodness. I wonder why anybody would want to move here, until these many problems are sorted out.

is a lovely approach to Tweed Heads but that’s where it ends. The main issues are people sitting around with shopping trolleys full of their possessions and anti-social behaviour. The area outside of Woolworths is usually a place for these people to congregate and that can be very intimidating for others walking past — Woolworths/ Aldi/Coles being the closest grocery stores for people in the Rainbow Bay area. Not a great look! The issue of shopping trolleys could be addressed by the supermarkets by introducing coin/tokens for use of them as in other towns on the north coast. People would be less likely to abandon trolleys if they have to retrieve their coin or token. Also, maybe a more regular drive around of the area by a supermarket employee to collect these trolleys.

SHIFTING COSTS from the state government to councils across NSW, including Tweed Shire Council, is slugging ratepayers, according to local councillors, who have agreed to write to the premier and ministers objecting to methods they flagged as “passing the bills”. The agenda item was raised during councillors’ monthly meeting on Thursday, February 15, and Cr Warren Polglase stressed that a “polite letter to the premier” may not go far enough. Cr Polglase instead suggested council deny payment of some of the state government’s bill-passing fees until an adequate agreement can be reached that benefits Tweed ratepayers. Council’s report outlined around $1.36 billion has been shifted from the state government to local governments across NSW, including the emergency services levy, the waste levy and rate exemptions, which translates to an additional cost of around $460 per Tweed ratepayer. Mayor Chris Cherry said moving costs to councils is “unsustainable” and she stressed that the costs are “unfair to local ratepayers”. “That’s a $460 increase in fees just to cover the costs of services allocated from the state government,” she said. There’s now a move to unite councils across the state to push back against bill-passing actions and work towards compromises that do not slug ratepayers. Mayor Cherry highlighted that the state government does not pay any rates on their land holdings “even though

polite letter to the state ministers will have little to no impact. “Maybe local government should refuse to pay,” Cr Polglase said. “If we’re not getting any traction via polite letters, maybe we need to encourage our councils not to pay. “These costs are enormous, and it’s got to a stage where we should question these shifting costs and forgo payment until such time as negotiations take place. “Unless drastic action is taken to curb these funds from the state government, we can’t take any more, and we need to do something about it. “We need to see what the reaction would be if we simply stopped paying.” Mayor Cherry put the idea of not paying the bill to cover state-based costs to the Northern Rivers Joint Organisation, which incorporates all seven mayors from the Clarence Valley to Tweed and out to Kyogle. “It was agreed that not paying the bill would be too antagonistic at this stage, but we agreed that we need to write to the state government to strongly outline that councils feel they should not have to pay these shifting costs,” Mayor Cherry said. “We want to also advocate to other joint organisations across the state to see whether we can rally support for direct action, including options such as not paying, as suggested by Cr Polglase, or developing a plan with the state government.” The motion received a unanimous vote and the letter will be sent to the premier and ministers in the coming days.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Syringe amongst dumped items By Jonathon Howard

A major court decision is a strong warning to businesses that they are open to massive fines if it is not clear what currency they are displaying in their online prices. The Federal Court has issued a massive $15 million fine against Airbnb Ireland for not making it clear that the prices displayed on its website for accommodation in some short-term rentals in Australia were in US dollars, not Australian dollars. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission took the global booking giant to the Federal Court, alleging that Airbnb had tricked tens of thousands of customers into paying for their accommodation booking in US dollars, rather than Australian dollars. This added around 50 per cent to the cost of the booking, due to the higher exchange rate of the US dollar and conversion fees. Airbnb argued that customers had agreed to be charged in US dollars, as the abbreviation USD was written in tiny font at the final stage of the booking process. Justice Shaun McElwaine found the conduct was deceptive and misleading and was contrary to Australian consumer law. He ruled Airbnb must pay a $15 million fine for this breach. Ireland-based Airbnb apologised and will compensate around 63,000 affected customers. The ACCC said this could cost another $15 million. Business lawyer Anne-Marie Fahey at Stacks Law Firm said the case demonstrates that retailers, both Australian and from overseas, must be careful not to mislead customers, otherwise they risk hefty fines under Australian consumer law. “Because the dollar sign was used on its own for the price on Airbnb’s Australian website, customers understandably thought it referred to Australian dollars,” Ms Fahey said. “The court heard Airbnb received more than 2,000 complaints from customers who were surprised to discover they were being charged in US dollars. Airbnb simply told them that they themselves had chosen to pay in US dollars. “Businesses should heed the warning about misleading customers from this case, and get legal advice to avoid costly court action if they start receiving complaints about their sales practices. It is important that all retailing firms get expert advice on Australian consumer law, as breaches can be very costly. “The Airbnb fine followed an $11 million fine by the Federal Court against US tech company Fitbit for misleading customers with deceptive sales claims about smartwatches and fitness trackers.” Under consumer law, all goods sold in Australia must be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose, and retailers must provide a repair, replacement or refund if this standard is not met.

SEVERAL TWEED Heads residents say they are “disgusted” with a rising number of squatters dumping waste, including a syringe at Crystal Waters Drive on the Tweed River recently. The popular spot is frequented by locals and visitors for its amazing riverside location and parkland, but residents fear the site is being abused as it’s hidden from authorities. The residents are now banding together and calling for action to not only curb the squatting behaviour, but also to prevent anyone from being harmed by waste. A longtime resident, who preferred not to be named, spoke to The Weekly to highlight some of the dangerous items being dumped that place residents and especially children at risk. “At first I felt sorry for these homeless people who had set up at the river’s edge thinking they would do the right thing,” the resident said. “But after the rubbish and syringes accumulated over about a week and when the rubbish started blowing throughout the street, it was then I realised that they were on drugs and not intending to clean

up after themselves and were in fact taking advantage.” Several tents were erected at the river’s edge, and according to the resident, were primarily used for drug use. The resident contacted Tweed Shire Council to ask for assistance to aid in curbing the behaviour as well as undertaking a safe clean-up of the tents. “People have been squatting in this street for many years and for a time we did not bother them because they did not bother us,” the resident said. “Most people enjoy the parkland here and they clean up their mess, but this latest incident means many residents are now fed up with it and want the squatting to cease altogether. “It’s been more recent times that the squatters have left used needles and all their waste spread throughout the park ending up in the river. “This is atrocious behaviour and the residents in the area are fed up.” The resident was happy to report that Tweed Shire Council rangers had inspected the site over the weekend and cleaned up the tents and dangerous items at about 9am on Monday, February 19. Three tents, one of which appears to

WHILE WELCOMING the opportunity to provide input into the shire’s Growth Management and Housing Strategy, a Kingscliff residents group say they have serious concerns about some of the options in the Drafts Options Paper, which is now open for submissions. The development options for Kingscliff include much of the town and surrounding areas. “At this early stage in the consultation process, we do have some significant concerns with many of the nonsensical ‘options’ presented and very much look forward to engaging with council on these matters,” Kingscliff Ratepayers and Progress Association Inc (KRPA) president Peter Newton said. “To name just a few: changes to height limits and density in Kingscliff, development on protected, State Significant Farmland, floodplain development — the

list goes on.” “The paper does not take into account in any meaningful way the strongly advocated community position, over many years and in many forums, and duly enshrined in the framework planning and control documents that underpin our growth and development. “Community voice is relatively silent in this paper, yet you can hear the voice of others, telling us ‘what we need’ very clearly and distinctly.” The KRPA says the Draft Options Paper strongly puts a view that, in justifying changes to height and density, Kingscliff is required to provide residential accommodation for the new Tweed Valley Hospital. “Where this narrative has come from is anyone’s guess, certainly not our community, and it is also not covered in any of our planning documents,” Mr Newton said. “Although the options paper references a large number of our planning frame-

Looking south from Tweed Heads towards the Tweed valley: How would you like to see the Tweed develop over the next 20 years? Join in the conversation at one of several engagement opportunities over coming weeks.

Growth opportunities in Tweed Heads Council is developing the Tweed Shire’s plan to manage housing and employment growth. As part of this, the Draft Options Paper, Growth Management and Housing Strategy is currently open for public feedback. Over the coming weeks we will be spotlighting the different localities highlighted in the paper. The suggested options aim to provide solutions to where we might live and work looking ahead to 2041. Tweed Heads has been proposed as a suitable location to facilitate greater housing choice and diversity, and increased employment opportunities. The area, along with several other localities, has been put forward as a potential site for growth that will help the Tweed adapt to a growing and increasing diverse population, over the next 20 years until 2041 Why Tweed Heads? It’s suggested that Tweed Heads existing urban areas can be developed more sustainably, efficiently and cost effectively, with lesser need for extensive development of infrastructure or use of resources. Consistent with the principles of reducing car dependency, and being able to walk to key infrastructure nodes, shopping, open space, and work opportunities, Tweed Heads ticks all these boxes. It is proposed that housing diversity and choice can be increased in the area utilising a range of approaches which might include increasing dwelling densities through a mix of housing types, such as low-rise apartment buildings, townhouses, duplexes and small lots. Also proposed are sections with a mix of residential, commercial, retail, and entertainment uses.

This type of development encourages the use of public transportation and aims to balance preserving the character of existing neighbourhoods with creating vibrant and inclusive communities.

Find out more and have your say The Paper forms the foundation for a draft Growth Management and Housing Strategy which will also be publicly exhibited later this year. Community feedback is being sought on any likes, concerns, or suggestions to how changes within the Draft Options Paper might be improved. These include changes which might not have been considered. View the draft Options Paper and interactive map of each of the proposed changes on yoursaytweed.com.au/ futuretweed Hard copies are also available at both Council offices at Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah.

Council is looking for landowners interested in accepting clean fill from our construction projects and flood repairs. Eligible landowners can now apply to take a number of loads of clean fill to use on their property, for example, to build up sites for farms sheds or pads above flood levels for stock and machinery. We have developed a process to ensure the movement of fill within the fire ant biosecurity control zone is done safely and within guidelines set out by the NSW Department of Primary Industries. To get clean fill, landowners are asked to express their interest online by completing a short form on our website at tweed.nsw.gov.au/disposal-of-fill. Properties must be suitable for a tandem truck to access. During periods of wet weather, fill will only be delivered to properties with all-weather access. Applications will be assessed against relevant planning and land zoning controls.

Why did the koala cross the road? He was looking for love! We’re coming into the end of koala breeding season, but our frisky fellows are still out and about crossing roads with only one thing on their minds. Koalas are most active during their breeding season from July to February. How can you help? Drive with care, especially at night and in Koala Zones where koalas are known to live close to the road and can cross at any time. Koala Zones are marked at the start and end of the zone with signage, pavement painting, or both. Even reducing your speed by just 5km per hour while in a Koala Zone can greatly reduce the risk of a collision and will only add a few seconds to your trip. If you see a koala on the road that is injured, dead or in need of help, call Friends of the Koala 24/7 rescue hotline on 02 6622 1233. Report all sightings of healthy koalas at tweed.nsw.gov.au/koalas or at friendsofthekoala.org.

Cryptosporidiosis cases are on the rise NSW Health has issued a public health alert due to an increase in cases of cryptosporidiosis, a parasitic disease commonly associated with contaminated water. The most common symptoms of cryptosporidiosis are diarrhoea and stomach cramps. Other symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, fever, headache, and loss of appetite. Carriers of the disease can contaminate swimming pools and the parasite can survive in chlorinated pool water for many days. People who have had diarrhoea should:

• avoid swimming for at least 2 weeks after symptoms have stopped • avoid sharing towels for at least two weeks after symptoms have stopped • avoid handling food for at least 48 hours after symptoms have stopped • children who have diarrhoea should be kept home from preschool, childcare or playgroup until 24 hours after the diarrhoea has completely stopped. More information on cryptosporidiosis is available on the NSW Health website.

What’s not to LOVE about our Tweed koalas! Let’s work together to keep them safe.

Survey to help manage bushfire risk in the Tweed and nearby shires Fire agencies and land managers are developing a new Bush Fire Risk Management Plan for the Tweed, Byron and Ballina Local Government Areas. The Far North Coast Bush Fire Management Committee (BFMC) is in the first stages of its 5-year review of the Far North Coast Bush Fire Risk Management Plan. This plan sets out the type of work that will be carried out over the next 5

years to minimise the impacts of bush fires in the far north coast region. Council's role on the BFMC, and as part of developing the plan, is to describe and commit to the activities it will carry out on Council-managed land to reduce the risk of damage to life and property from bush fires. The BFMC is calling out for community feedback through

their online survey. The survey aims to identify areas of concern that community members may have and the assets they value most within the community. The survey closes on 13 March.

Carjacking shock for victim By Jo Kennett

TWEED POLICE are on the lookout for a carjacker who allegedly nicked an elderly woman’s car on Wednesday, February 15, right across the road from the Tweed Heads Police Station and in broad daylight. The incident happened around 3.30pm outside a shopping complex on Wharf Street. Dashcam footage caught the moment the elderly woman was carjacked and police are looking for the man in the photo (below) holding a drink and wearing red shoes, who they believe may be able to help with their inquiries. Police say the woman was allegedly tricked by a man who told her she had a flat tyre to get her out of the car, before he jumped in the driver’s seat of her late model white Nissan with NSW registration ‘EXT15S’ and locked the doors. She banged on the window, trying to get him out and several bystanders came to her aid. The driver of a car, who filmed the whole incident with his dashcam, managed to block the man from reversing out while three other men approached the car, with one of them

trying to open the door of the woman’s car. A young man ran across to the police station just as the alleged carjacker put the car into gear, swung it to the right and made his getaway with her purse and phone inside, while the woman stood looking on in shock before bending over, holding her head in distress. Tweed-Byron Police District Inspector Matt Woods said they were still looking for the car and the man. “It was a brazen cowardly attack,” Insp Woods told the media. “We got a good look at the suspect and we’ve got some witnesses.” A witness said the woman told him her husband was sick in hospital and that she needed the car to visit him. Police are asking for public assistance to identify the man pictured below. Anyone with information, or who has seen the white Nissan with NSW registration plates EXT15S, is urged to call Tweed Heads Police Station on 07 5506 9499, Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or use the Crime Stoppers website online (anonymously).

Relief as flood study approved By Jo Kennett

BOGANGAR RESIDENTS were thrilled to find out the state government has approved a flood management study and a flood management plan in the wake of the 2022 floods. Tweed Shire Council submitted an application to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water to fund the study on behalf of the coastal creeks community, who found out it had been approved on February 9. The study will include Mooball Creek (Pottsville), Cudgera Creek at Hastings Point and Cudgen Creek which runs from Bogangar to Kingscliff. Despite not seeing that much rain at the time, Bogangar was the only place in the Tweed Shire to exceed the one in 500 flood level, reaching the one in 700 year level. Cabarita Beach Bogangar Residents Association Flood Mitigation committee members spent hundreds of hours collating flood data to show that some of the causes for the severity of the flood in Bogangar were man-made and need to be mitigated. They also lobbied to get the study approved and funded. “The approval is great news,” committee member Andy Williams said. “The important thing is that they have approved a flood management plan as well as the study. “The last time they did a study was 2009, but they didn’t do a flood management study until 2015, six years later, and there was no mention of any flood mitigation for Bogangar. “Now council is looking for a consultant to do the study.” The flood mitigation committee put

in submissions to the CSIRO, NSW Resilience, and the Select Committee on the Response to Major Flooding across New South Wales in 2022, who they had a chance to do a presentation to. “We were just trying to raise awareness of the flooding because most people aren’t aware that it floods here,” Andy said. “In the 2022 floods, the committee estimated a quarter of the 1,300 dwellings in Bogangar were impacted; 320 houses. “Forty were completely gutted and 150 partially destroyed, with around $84 million damage.” “Our house (in Reef Villas) backs onto the creek and it came within millimetres of coming into the living area,” Andy’s wife Alex said. “It was like watching a car crash in slow motion. You know what’s coming and you can’t do anything about it. “It was the most nerve-wracking horrible thing and we had to evacuate when the sewage and power went out.” In 2022, Chinderah and South Murwillumbah, despite how terrible the flooding was, were well below the one in 100 level, Condong was between the one in 100 and 500 level, but Bogangar officially reached the one in 700 level according to committee investigations. “We have data which we submitted to NSW Resilience which shows it’s getting worse over the last 35 years,” Andy said. “The catchment area for Cudgen Creek is 100 square kilometres and includes Cudgen Plateau, Kings Forest, Duranbah and Clothiers Creek out to Farrants Hill.” Andy said Tweed Coast Road was built up with fill “because it would have flooded” and with no culverts underneath it, forms a barrier for floodwaters “all the way up the coast.” “Casuarina used to be a floodplain be-

fore the sand mining and now it is all raised above the one in 100 flood level so now any overflow from their retention pits flows straight into Cudgen Creek,” Andy said. “All the overflow from Kings Forest is likely to go straight into the creek which will stop Cabarita Lake emptying when we get flooding rain in the catchment. “When they did the development application (DA) for Kings Forest they only had to consider downstream impact. Last year the state government changed requirements so DAs now have to take upstream impact into account as well, but that only affects DAs from last year.” The committee says the data on water levels in Cudgen Creek shows it is taking water nearly twice as long for water to flow from the lake to the ocean as it was in the late 1980s floods. “Cudgen Creek hasn’t been cleaned out since 1994 when it became a nature reserve,” Andy said. “They used to have boats on the lake and going up and down the creek, but now the lake is so shallow and the creek is barely navigable.” The committee wants whoever is contracted as a consultant to be aware of community concerns and address them in the study. “Based on the information we have gathered over the last 18 months, we would like whoever does the study to take that information into account,” Andy said. “We have our own thoughts on mitigation and need the study to consider those options. “We don’t really care what mitigation options they choose, as long as they do something, and do it properly, to stop the flooding.”

Neighbours fire alert KINGSCLIFF FIREFIGHTERS say that observant neighbours and a working smoke alarm can save lives, after two fires were reported at Kingscliff. The first fire broke out on Friday afternoon, February 16. Fire and Rescue Kingscliff firefighters were called to a smoke alarm sounding at a private residence. Neighbours had heard the alarm and called Triple Zero (000). Firefighters arrived at the scene to find a smoke-filled home with a smoke alarm operating. They got inside the property and located unattended food on the stove. The home was ventilated and atmospheric testing was carried out before the home was handed back to the owner who arrived home shortly after. Then on Saturday, February 17, at 2pm, Fire and Rescue Kingscliff and Tweed Heads were called to an electrical fire in Kingscliff after neighbours noticed the powerlines to the house were on fire. Firefighters arrived on scene, turned the power off at the main power board and extinguished the fire using an extinguisher. Essential Energy was called in to isolate the power and to rectify the situation. Firefighters say to always make sure you have a working smoke alarm and keep an eye out for your neighbours.

Murwillumbah Public School PROMOTING EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

Sharing Responsibility at Murwillumbah Public School

The school has elected two captains and two vice captains who will have a key role in supporting staff and other students in helping the school to achieve the established goals within the school plan. As well as the elected leaders many other Stage 3 students will have additional opportunities to use their skills to assist others. This includes Library Monitors, Band Captains and Sporting House Captains.

Each class in the school has appointed an SRC leader to take on special tasks. This group will meet every fortnight to plan and coordinate activities. The school captains and vice captains met this week to begin planning priorities for the school year and roles they would undertake. There will be particular focus areas in the Arts, Sport, Environment and Special Events. They will also be used as models to assist the implementation of the school’s PBL (Positive Behaviour for Learning) Program.

The Arts team is keen to provide strong support to the school band and dance programs. They are looking at opportunities to further promote art in the school and have proposed that we run the Murwillumbah Public School Portrait prize. The Sports team is looking at adding more student involvement at key athletics and cross country events as well as sport gala days and knockouts. They are assisting with the planning of the 2024 bike education program. The Environment team will be

focused on supporting the school gardening and recycling programs. They want to take some ownership of making sure the school presents well and have ideas to support this. The Events team will work closely with staff and parents in supporting activities related to the 150th anniversary and in adding events to the school calendar for student enjoyment and fundraising. It promises to be a very productive, student led year at Murwillumbah Public School.

Open to the public Monday to Friday 7am to 430pm Saturdays 7am to 12pm Complying to the current Biosecurity ﬁre ant order.

MORE THAN half of all heavy vehicles travelling from Queensland to NSW are coming from known fire ant hot spots, according to the NSW Government, which has recently turned back four trucks at the border. NSW Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty updated the media on her strategy to protect the state from fire ants as she continues to take a “hard line approach to the threat”. The minister announced the successful results of Operation Victa over the past weekend, which activated a wave of security checks on heavy vehicles at the border. The NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and NSW Police, supported by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator, stopped 100 high-risk vehicles at Chinderah to check loads and ensure biosecurity requirements were met. Of the 100 vehicles stopped, 55 vehicles originated from the red imported fire ant infested zone in south-east Queensland. Four vehicles did not comply with the requirement to hold relevant biosecurity documentation and were not permitted to enter the state. These vehicles also failed to have a clean truck and clean equipment to ensure all fire ant carrier materials had been removed. Breaching the emergency biosecurity order carries penalties of up to $1.1 million for an individual and up to $2.2 million for a corporation. All vehicle operators stopped at the border were questioned on their knowledge of the Biosecurity (Fire Ant) Emergency Order (No 1) 2024 during the inspection process. Importantly, the vast majority demonstrated their awareness and responsibility. The first wave of Operation Victa in September 2023 stopped 99 vehicles and directed seven to return to Queensland, as they failed to com-

ply with biosecurity requirements. In December 2023, the second wave operation resulted in 75 vehicles stopped with all vehicles found to be compliant. The NSW Government is working closely with the National Fire Ant Eradication Program to undertake tracing and surveillance activities, after fire ant nests were discovered and destroyed at South Murwillumbah and at Wardell, south of Ballina. “The NSW Government takes the threat of red fire ants seriously and are committed to continuing to take a hard line approach to protect NSW and our agricultural industry from their impacts,” Minister Moriarty said. “I thank the NSW Department of Primary Industries, the NSW Police and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator for their coordinated response over the weekend. “We require businesses supplying and transporting potential fire ant materials to understand the rules and we are providing information through many channels. “The NSW contribution to the National Fire Ant Eradication program was increased from $15 million under the former National Liberal NSW government to $95 million under our government because we take biosecurity seriously. “This increase in resourcing and funding has meant the NSW Government’s fire ant response teams are well equipped to respond to fire ant nest sightings with the necessary urgency.”

The sale comes with 33 buses and 39 team members, with all three companies operating government-contracted and dedicated school services in the Tweed Valley for decades. Kinetic said the acquisitions will “deliver a significant uplift to Kinetic’s operations in the region”, highlighting that Kinetic has mostly been based on the Tweed Coast. Kinetic co-CEO Michael Sewards said in a media statement that he’s excited to expand Kinetic’s partnership and responsibility with the NSW Government in the north of the state. “We know the Northern Rivers and Tweed Coast is an expanding region with strong tourism credentials and we look forward to expanding our commitment to NSW,” Mr Sewards said. “Collectively, these three businesses have a strong reputation, and we are excited to welcome new team members from Singh’s, Parsons and MBC to the Kinetic family. “I would like to acknowledge the fantastic work that has been done by Gary and Harpal Singh and family, Suzanne Parsons and her son Peter Parsons and wife Lara. “We will continue to provide industry-leading services for the community of Murwillumbah and surrounds.” MBC and Parsons Bus Company member Peter Parsons said the companies have a proud history in Northern NSW, with his father John commencing the business in 1981, saying it was pleasing that Kinetic would continue with this legacy. “We know Kinetic values safe and reliable services as highly as we do and I am pleased our drivers will continue to support the students and community of Murwillumbah,” Mr Parsons said.

“You will see the same friendly faces behind the wheel and the team are excited to be joining Kinetic as they grow their operations in the region.” Singh’s Bus Services member Gary Singh says he is proud of the strong community connections his team had formed in Murwillumbah, Tyalgum, Chillingham and Crystal Creek over many years. “Our family has been privileged to transport generations of locals and we are happy that our team will continue to provide first-class service to passengers,” Mr Singh said. “We know Kinetic shares our commitment to the community, and we look forward to this exciting new chapter.” Kinetic South-East Queensland Executive General Manager Martin Hall says public transport provides a safe and sustainable option for the Murwillumbah community. “We are focused on providing the community of northern New South Wales with reliable bus services that take them to the places they need to go,” Mr Hall says. “With Kinetic having extensive operations across the Gold Coast and Tweed, we are excited to bring regional synergies and the support of our broader business to these great services in Murwillumbah.”

THE BIG move from The Tweed Hospital to the all-new Tweed Valley Hospital is set for Tuesday, May 14, with all hospital services, including the emergency department, operating theatres and inpatient services to make the shift in one full day. Patients receiving care at The Tweed Hospital on May 14 will be transferred to the new facility from 8am onwards, and this process is expected to take a day. A spokesperson for Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) said residents are reminded that anyone seeking emergency medical treatment after 8am on Tuesday, May 14, should present to the new Tweed Valley Hospital emergency department at 771 Cudgen Road, Cudgen. “If it is not a medical emergency, please see a GP or medical clinic,” the spokesperson said. “Anyone who requires emergency medical treatment prior to May 14 should present to the existing The Tweed Hospital.” NNSWLHD is working with hospital clinicians and staff, as well as key partners including NSW Ambulance and NSW Police, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all patients before, during and after the transfer. “Temporary visitor restrictions will be in place during the inpatient relocation,” the spokesperson said. The date has been set as the new hospital prepares to host a special community open day on Saturday, March 16, from 10am to 2pm. NSW Minister for Health Ryan Park said the open day was a “wonderful chance for people to come and familiarise themselves with the new hospital” before it opens to patients on May 14 this year. “This much-needed redevelopment is providing a massive healthcare boost to Northern

NSW and I’m excited to see its long-term impact on the community,” he said. “With construction of the hospital complete, the NNSWLHD team is working to ensure that the new hospital and its staff are ready to safely receive patients. “This includes installing furniture, fixtures, and equipment, completing clinical cleaning, stocking departments with medical consumables, and training and orientating staff,” the spokesperson said. “The opening date of Tuesday 14 May 2024 allows time to complete this important operational commissioning phase, as well as transition planning and processes which accompany a relocation of this size.” The new outpatient clinics will be four times the size of the current hospital, with 137 treatment spaces. “Conveniently located on the ground floor close by the main entry, the outpatient department will offer a range of specialist services in dedicated spaces, including a pathology collection, a physiotherapy gym, an indoor/outdoor therapy garden and an occupational therapy room with kitchen,” the spokesperson said. “This is in addition to a broad range of general use and specialist consult rooms, such as plaster rooms, podiatry treatment rooms, workshops, and non-cancer infusion chairs.”

delegates. Conference delegates tend to visit mid-week, stay for longer and take time either side of events to experience the region. The Tweed Tourism Co works in partnership with Destination North Coast (DNC) to build business events opportunities, with the Tweed promoted to conference organisers at major trade events, promotions and in-region familiarisation visits. Through our work with DNC, the Tweed has been profiled at the Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event (AIME) in Melbourne this week and will also be featured in a familiarisation visit in March, showcasing event venues and group experiences to decision-makers. To maximise these opportunities for the region, we’re currently refreshing our Tweed Business Events Planner — a dedicated guide to help conference and event organisers plan a great Tweed business gathering. Marketing opportunities for the Tweed Business Events Planner are now open for local operators that are keen to be involved in this sector — if that’s you, email The Tweed Tourism Company now via info@thetweed.com. au to learn more. Bookings close on Friday, February 23, so be quick if you’re interested in the opportunity.

30+ YEARS EXPERIENCE

IT’S BEEN a busy start to the year already for the Tweed Tourism Company, with a focus on planning ahead for continued success, activating major priorities and aligning our strategies with the latest research and insights. The latest visitation data released by Tourism Research Australia (to the year ending September 2023) reflects some promising travel trends for the Tweed with domestic overnight visitors up 8.1 per cent to 617,000 and domestic day trips up 89.4 per cent to 1,445,000 trips over the 12 months. It’s also great to see inbound travel returning with international overnight numbers up significantly to 24,643 visitors. The data also shows that domestic visitors stayed for an average of around three nights compared to 12 nights for internationals, but spent more, revealing a high yielding domestic traveller. All of these indicators reflect the importance of being able to offer a range of immersive experiences and activities to encourage holiday-makers to stay longer and also come back often. This is a major focus of the Tweed Destination Management Plan (DMP) 2024-2030 — a comprehensive roadmap for the future of tourism that was adopted last week by Tweed Shire Council. The DMP highlights the Tweed’s priority visitor experiences — nature/outdoor recreation, creativity and culture, local food and agritourism, surfing, Indigenous tourism and business events, with caravan/camping and wellness also in the mix. We’ve had some solid wins recently in the business events sector, hosting major travel and industry conferences that attract national

Continued from page 3 Cr Brinsmead said in the longer term, staff, through the Portfolio Board, will review and provide a report back to council on the feasibility, options, costings, timing, prioritisation, and potential funding of a premier entrance statement for Tweed Shire which would encourage new development and activation of the Wharf Street precinct from Boundary Street to Bay Street by revitalising the current landscaped areas, additional and increased tree cover, and predominantly retaining the road and car parking configuration. “It’s worth noting that the audit will be undertaken in the first half of 2024 to identify immediate and interim measures for beautification of the area,” she said. “People tell me regularly that council takes too long to do things, so I thought including this point was important. “I gave examples of what could be done to make a real and immediate impact based on the feedback we have received from residents and businesses.” Meanwhile, You Have a Friend Inc convenor John Lee, who has a team of volunteers and has been supporting homeless people in Tweed Heads and surrounds seven-days a week for 22 years, said he wanted to respond to Cr Brinsmead’s motion. “I believe that I can reliably respond to your claims regarding the Tweed,” he told The Weekly. “I have travelled up and down Bay and Wharf streets and Jack Evans Harbour, looking for the graffiti that Cr Brinsmead’s motion claims is destroying the area. “You state that there are abandoned trolleys in these streets. You also suggest the NSW Police and council staff need to address the anti-social behavior and homelessness in the area. “I am quite happy to go with you at any time of day or night, so that you can point out where

the graffiti is. “I saw only one building in a side street. Each week I provide meals, food packs and toiletries to homeless people in this area and also to single mothers and their children. “Where are the many abandoned trolleys? What and where is the anti-social behaviour?” Mr Lee said people being forced to sleep in parks, on the pavement outside shops, or in a car, “certainly is not something that the NSW Police need to address, as you suggest”. “I am sure you are aware of the rental crisis that Australia is facing at present,” he said. “What is the Tweed Shire Council doing about the homeless situation? “Why are almost all streets in the Tweed Shire now designated ‘no parking between 11pm and 5am’, thereby enabling council to impose penalties by way of fines on homeless men and women who seek shelter and safety and have nowhere to go. “If there are abandoned shopping trolleys, I can almost guarantee that this is not the fault of the homeless. “If a homeless man or woman has a shopping trolley, they do not abandon it, as that trolley holds their worldly possessions. Why would a homeless person change shopping trolleys every day? “I cannot speak more highly of our local police, who are most empathetic, fair and just, and also willing to listen and advise. “In conclusion, Cr Brinsmead, I have no idea as to what you find so objectionable about the Tweed-Queensland entrance. “I see almost no graffiti and very few abandoned shopping trolleys.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe the Tweed Heads entryway needs more work and beautification? Or is more help needed for those sleeping rough and homeless in the area as mentioned by Mr Lee? The Weekly is eager to hear your thoughts and letters via: editor@theweekly.net.au

Q&A: Growth plan questions QUESTIONS HAVE been raised by resident groups and community representatives over the Growth Management and Housing Strategy (GMHS) Options Paper to manage growth in the shire over the next 20 years, which is currently on exhibition and open for submissions. There have been concerns at proposals to build on floodplains and State Significant Farmland and questions as to why housing projects like Kings Forest, which is now under development, are not included in future housing supply figures. There were also questions raised over the projected population figures quoted, which are almost double the state government projections. The Weekly put some questions about the Draft Options Paper to Unit Coordinator Strategic Planning & Urban Design Iain Lonsdale. Q1: Who initiated the report (GMHS)? Was it prompted by the state government or was it initiated by council staff? “Council initiated the preparation of the Growth Management and Housing Strategy by resolution from the Planning Committee Meeting of December 16, 2020,” Mr Lonsdale said. “It aligns with the Tweed Rural Strategy 2020-2036, which included an action task to prepare a growth management statement or to be part of a shire-wide Growth Management Plan.” Q2: Why weren’t Cobaki Lakes, Dunloe Park and Kings Forest included in the report’s future housing supply figures? “The Draft Options Paper for the Growth Management and Housing Strategy is all about providing diversification for growth,” Mr Lonsdale told The Weekly.

CELEBRATING THEIR 60th diamond wedding anniversary is loving local couple Warren and Karlene Polglase (pictured), who have kindly shared their tips to a long and happy marriage, as well as their inspiring story of a life filled with positivity and hard work. The couple fell in love and were married soon after in Karoonda in South Australia on February 22, 1964. Warren recalls the day well as it was 42 degrees and took place inside the local Methodist church. Karlene owned a property in Karoonda and was working the land when she met Warren who was working as a stock and station agent in the area. Karlene said it was a case of “love at first sight” for the pair who instantly hit it off and would enjoy a lifelong partnership. Warren, who comes from Adelaide originally and is one five boys, said he fell head over heels for Karlene and took a strong recommendation from his mother to seal the deal. “We purchased our first farm together in 1964 in South Australia, same area Karlene’s family worked the land for many years,” the couple said. “We owned it for two decades, ran sheep and grew grain.” The couple focused on working hard to get ahead and ended up holding around 3,500 hectares at their peak. “Warren was very involved with the community then and as he remains to this day,” Karlene said. The couple continued to purchase farms and bought a rice farm property in southern NSW, which started their journey towards the Tweed. “Warren entered politics, local government, in the early 1980s and it was in 1989 that we decided to move to the beautiful Tweed Shire,” Karlene said. “We got involved in caravan park investments and we were based out of Chinderah to operate the parks.” Warren said the caravan industry was the first tourism body to unify the caravan parks as an association in the Tweed, which helped in operating and maintaining the parks for many years. The couple has faced their share of hard times, including times of lengthy separation when Warren did a few months in Libya advising on agricultural practices, but they always found ways to remain close. Warren said aside from a few early girlfriends, Karlene was his first and only love and he “wouldn’t have it any other way”. “Being separated was a challenge,” he said. “We had to learn to endure the hard times, because if you don’t endure you don’t last. “That’s why we’ve remained very close. Both having our separate interests but always meeting in the middle.”

The couple said their secret to a long, happy marriage is to turn a negative into a positive in life. “If you’re having a hard time in a relationship you need to seek advice and work together,” the couple said, sharing their positive outlook on life which they said has served them well. Karlene said they are both very positive and encouraged each other to not look back as “it will only drag you down”. Of course, Warren is well-known for his work as a Tweed Shire councillor for the past 25 years, one of the longest serving after Max Boyd. “The rewarding part of a local government role is seeing those you benefit through the changes,” Warren said, when asked to reflect on his time in local government. Karlene admits there have been some tough times through Warren’s councillorship, but she’s drawn on her positive outlook to see the family through. “Those who have spoken against Warren over the years, I’ve learned to ignore and know they don’t know him the way family and friends know him,” she said. “Warren stands up for people who need his help and he’s always communicating and open to those who want his help. “He’s also not afraid to share his connections.” Warren said he loves his work in local government and has been mayor and a dedicated local councillor for decades — a role he plans on continuing as he re-contests one of seven seats in the local government elections later this year. The couple believes in leading from the front and getting their hands dirty is not a problem. “Yes, we always lead from the front and like to get involved in the tasks at hand, whilst being respectful and understanding other people’s positions,” the couple agreed. “Never be demeaning to others, always understand people’s point of view and look for mediation.” The couple’s hard work has paid off across farming, property management and business ventures — but they are winding down in their 80s. The couple have already celebrated with family and friends at Potager on Sunday, February 18. “The actual date is February 22, but we had a great lunch with the whole family,” the couple said. So how do you stay in love after 60 years of marriage? “Karlene is supportive of me and whatever I do and I am supportive of her,” Warren said. “Karlene has also recently learned to swim, so we’re always trying new things.” Karlene said that due to growing up on a farm, “I never learnt to swim”. “But I’m learning now and doing well with Warren’s support — I’m no longer afraid of the water,” she said. “I don’t need anything, we have each other.”

THE TENTH anniversary of the Pottsville Men’s Shed was celebrated in style at the Pottsville Beach Sports Club on Tuesday, February 13. Around 90 members and family gathered to hear tunes from the Pottsville Pluckers and a welcome Founding president by the inaugural president Allan May Allan May, who said they started with a stall at the markets and joked that it was mostly wives who took their brochures. Mayor Chris Cherry admitted she hadn’t been in favour of the Black Rocks location of the shed initially, but was a great supporter of the group. “The Men’s Shed is incredible,” Cr Cherry said. “They give so much back to the community and it’s not only the men but the wives as well. A lot of people don’t realise how much time they spend out there volunteering and council is very supportive of them.”

She passed on the well-wishes of Councillor James Owen, Geoff Provest MP and the other councillors who were unable to attend. “We do things for the community and it gives our guys things to do and a sense of worth,” President John Taylor, who took over from John Smith, said. “We always say that we save marriages. We are really focused on keeping the guys active and contributing to our local community. “We are up to nearly 100 members and are looking to expand the facility. It gives people a sense of belonging as well because very few of us were born here.” Mayor Chris Cherry was full of praise for the work of the Men's Shed

Dispatches from the Arctic at Uki By Madeleine Murray

THE NEW show at art post uki is about a land as far away as possible from the northern rivers. Heather Matthew is a paper and print artist. In 2022 she travelled to Greenland, and then to Iceland where she was artist in residence at the Fish Factory Creative Centre. The result is an extraordinary exhibition about a very different world. Stones and ice define this Arctic land. Heather works with homemade paper, collage and simple cyanotype printing. She creates the stone image by placing the stone directly onto homemade paper that has been coated with a light-sensitive chemical solution. She then uses the print either alone or to produce a collage. “The result is the story of stones but also the story of ice,” Heather told The Weekly. “It’s about emerging beauty and disappearing beauty.” The images reveal strength and resilience but also fragility. The frequency of rain and temperature variation has increased, causing devastating rock avalanches, melting ice, and disappearing permafrost. “I call these works my dispatches from the Arctic about the effects of climate change,” Heather said. She has been selected for numerous Australian and international exhibitions and artist residencies. She studied art at Southern Cross University and completed an MA at Dartington School of Arts in the United Kingdom. This project was supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW. Dispatches from the Arctic runs from February 29-April 10. It can be seen every day at Uki

Ollie’s beautiful gift

91259

By Jo Kennett

FIVE-YEAR-old Ollie Mumford has donated his beautiful long locks so that a kid with cancer can have a wig to help them cope with the side effects of therapy. “It started as a little idea from Ollie to cut his hair and donate it for a wig for kids with cancer and ask family and friends for a $5 donation instead of a birthday present and turned into him raising a whopping $5,886 and seeing our community really come together,” Ollie’s mum Ash said. “He has been growing his hair his whole life - it was down to his bum and curly - and never wanted to get it cut; he said he wouldn’t be Ollie without his long hair.” Dad Ben Mumford said they read about donating hair for wigs for kids with cancer. “He really liked that idea so we donated it to Ella Wigmaker who makes wigs for Aussie kids,” Ben said. “We have spoken a lot about cancer because my dad got diagnosed with stage four melanoma last year,” Ash said. “He is going really well on immunotherapy so that’s really good.” Paramedic Ben (one of the tinny army who rescued Chinderah residents) went to uni with Matt Dunn, a lead researcher into DIPG, a type of brain cancer that primarily affects children. “Matt was

researching this when his daughter got diagnosed with DIPG and died 12 months ago,” Ben said. “It’s terminal so it’s really important they have the funds for research.” “Ollie was really excited to ask our family and friends to donate to the Run DIPG fundraiser to get his hair cut. We thought he would get about $300 but he raised $5,886 thanks to our amazing community who rallied together. “It raised a lot of awareness about DIPG and this sort of cancer which a lot of people don’t know about.” The family thanked the amazing Nick from Hold Fast Barber Co in Pottsville, who gave Ollie a great haircut and his lovely wife Lauren, (Lauren Wild Creative) who photographed Ollie for his birthday. “Ollie goes to Smiley Tots and they organised a crazy hair day the day after he cut it,” Ash said. “They asked parents for a gold coin donation and that was a nice way for Ollie to feel good about cutting his hair and his identity.” “We are proud of him and our other kids learning that it’s nice to do good things for others,” Ben said. “I’m very happy how everyone supported the cause and raised awareness about DIPG cancer.” Nick from Hold Fast Barber Co gave Ollie a stylin' haircut Photo Lauren Wild Creative

This is a fantastic support for people who are struggling to pay for food these days. “The Hare Krishna community is not just about singing and chanting,” Bharat Devnani head of public relations at The Farm told The Weekly. “We have three Govinda restaurants, a school with 120 kids, the Krishna Village which runs a volunteer program, Yoga teacher training and classes, an array of self-improvement courses, plus a wellness centre. “Part of our philosophy is to share the food with the greater community.” The big kitchen on the farm makes about 550 meals a day. All the food is offered to Krishna first and blessed. “We prepare food in larger quantities” Bharat said. “We a l w ay s make extra in case

we have unexpected people showing up, or if there is a need elsewhere.” Every day the surplus amounts are stored in containers in the freezer. There is dahl, kitchari, vegetable curry, soup, salads and more. The containers are packed into boxes and delivered to Murwillumbah. “The demand from the local community is booming,” Bharat said. “It started with once a week, now it’s six days a week.” Bharat dropped off 120 meals every day this week. In the beginning the op shop didn’t have a freezer, so the Hare Krishna Farm raised funds and bought them a freezer. “It’s definitely taken off,” Bharat said. “Now we are distributing about 600 meals a week. Every day we arrive at Edna’s and the freezer is empty. It’s not only for homeless people, it’s for the whole community. “Our spiritual master said that nobody within ten miles of the temple should be hungry. Our duty is to give to all, we’re not judgmental about who receives the food. “I can imagine in time we will distributing over

1000 meals weekly. The goal is to cover the whole Northern Rivers area including Tweed Heads area as well. “Seems like we’ll be scaling things up with more resources in time. I have enough space in my car boot for now, but in time our vision is do our deliveries in a freezer van.” The Farm spends $3500 a week on produce with the primary income source being the Krishna Govinda restaurants, Krishna village and festival caterings. Temple kitchen manager Kirtan Priya came on board the minute Bharat suggested the intention to start the food distribution service. “We are now cooking more than before but we are happy that no food goes to waste and it is being distributed to people who need it,” Kirtan told The Weekly. “That is a very good system that ensures there is never surplus food and everything gets used properly.” For more info, go to krishnafarm.net, or Hare Krishna Farm New Goverdhan on Facebook.

ODD JOB JOE Joe said. “We’ve installed a clothesline, repaired entry steps, painted garage doors and installed a new mat on a trampoline. “Last week we dismantled an above ground swimming pool and took it to the tip along with a load of other stuff our client wanted to get rid of, she was so happy to see her back yard tidied up. “The rejuvenation of a swimming pool deck last December was a rewarding job for us, it looks Pool Deck Before great!” Joe has a range of experience and has worked as a handyman and cleaner for years. “I’ve run other businesses in gardening and lawn mowing, window cleaning contractor and various cleaning jobs throughout Pool Deck After my life,” he said.

Odd Job Joe receives outstanding feedback from clients. “Our clients absolutely love us. We often get comments like ‘Wow, that looks amazing’, ‘I’ve been wanting to get that done for years, where have you been?’ and many have become regular ongoing customers,” Joe said. Having successfully completed a Certificate III in Disability Support, Odd Job Joe is NDIS cleared with police checks in place and offers a service with full public liability insurance for your peace of mind. “We look forward to building our business and offering the Tweed and surrounding areas a ‘one stop shop’ to get those odd jobs around the house done in a satisfactory and timely manner,” the couple said.

FEATURED BUSINESS AFTER MAKING the move from Victoria to Northern NSW, Joe Tarapacz settled in Tweed Heads where he met his wife Cathy. “We love the Tweed so much, it’s got such a relaxed feel and lifestyle with beaches, rivers and bushland to enjoy, and amazing weather,” the couple said. The couple said they know how busy life can get and how hard it is to find reliable trustworthy workers. That’s why Odd Job Joe and his sidekick Cathy have established the service. “We’re here to help you,” the couple said. The business is here to help people with those odd jobs around the home and garden. “Anything from gardening jobs, fence painting, picture hanging, and basic repairs, we can help,”

Eunice may have turned 99 this month but she’s still full of life and said she was enjoying having family and friends around her for her special day. Eunice was born in Murwillumbah and first lived at Chinderah where her parents Kenneth and Ethel Dw-

yer lived for many years. “Dad was a delivery man for the break and butcher shop and he drove a horse and cart,” she said. “He was also a cane cutter and when I was about six, my parents purchased a dairy farm at Stokers Siding.” Eunice remembers attending Stokers Siding School and was a shy student at first. “My eldest sister Bernice has to look after me at school but I soon loved it and spent all my days there,” she said. “So many good friends – now most are gone.” Eunice recalled fond memories of working hard with her close friend Daphne her “best mate”. “We did everything together milk the cows and rush around, including catching the train if we were lucky,” she said. “Mum made sure all the girls

learnt to sew and we attended the School of Arts in Murwillumbah to learn.” Eunice said her main entertainment was dancing. “Every Saturday night at Stokers Hall people came from all around,” she said. “I met my husband Jack King at these dances, he was just of the Airforce and lived at Dunbible. “We married in 1946 and moved into his house he built on King’s Gully Road.” The couple had four children who are now also well-known locals including Barry, Janelle, Graeme, and Tony. “Times were hard for Jack and I and Jack did a range of jobs including his last job, which was working for Harding Brothers, which he loved,” she said. “Jack also worked on the Clarrie Hall Dam.” Jack passed in April 2017. “The farm at Stokers was run by the rest of the family after mum passed away from cancer

in 1961,” she said. Sadly, Eunice’s father Kenneth was killed in a road accident at Mooball in 1965. “The farmhouse at Stokers, that we all cherished, was later removed by the new owners to Stokers Siding Village where it remains to this day,” she said. “I have remained here at Dunbible, King’s Gully, all these years, children are all married and moved out. “I handed my driver’s license in recently due to my arthritis. “I can’t go without my trusty wheely walker and I go shopping once a week and my main day of activities is Saturday mornings at the Murwillumbah Services Club to catch up with all my friends and talk about the latest news.” From the nine children there are six still alive after the passing of Bernice, Violet and Daph.

Dane Henry’s big week Worth car raffle winner By Jo Kennett

By Jo Kennett

IN THE leadup to the Gold Coast Open, Kingy Boardriders Dane Henry went for a surf at D’bah with his HPC coach Bede Durbidge and pulled off an air on his first wave - frankly I don’t know what any of them are called but it was nuts - and nearly broke the surfer internet. He was that excited he said he was shaking afterwards. Dane got props from a cavalcade of surfing luminaries old and new including Shane Dorian, Mick Fanning, Bottles, Sierra and Josh Kerr (who know how to go up and up), Callum Robson, Parko, Kolohe Andino, Jacob Willcox, even the Kona Boys Beach Shack crew in Hawaii were blown away by our very own (suddenly) wunderkind. Which was a nice confidence boost heading into the Gold Coast Open where he went out in his first heat and got the highest score of the day, a 15.4. It was pumping at Burleigh apparently and clean. Another Kingy Boardrider, Micah Margieson, didn’t get through the Round of 64, despite, like so many of these up and coming surfers, being super talented. It kind of shows how, with so many amazing surfers, something can just click and suddenly you are well... Insane Dane as Jay Phillips called him. Confidence is king! Sadly Zahli Kelly missed out on progressing through the Round of 32 in the womens by 0.5 which is a shame because she rips, can mix it up with the best in the world and knows how to fly. Kyan Falvey just lost out in his Round of 64 heat, with Jordy Lawler slipping into second spot. Kyan is the son of secret super coach Ben, who cut his teeth coaching the cheeky teenage Cooly kids alongside Phil Mac in Palm Beach Currumbin High School’s Surf Excellence Program in the early 2000s. Kyan had a huge year in 2023. He made the finals of the Gold Coast Pro Junior and finished in third spot, was ninth in the Lake Mac

City Pro and finished the year in 7th place in Australia/Oceania on the Men’s Junior Tour. Dane finished 2023 tied in ninth, while Fletcher Kelleher, who has relocated here from Sydney and got a wild card from Surfing Australia into the ISA World Junior Championship in Brazil last year, finished in 18th position (Kelleher scored some of the highest heat totals of the ISA comp, making it through to the quarter finals and finished in ninth spot). After blasting his way through the Round of 64 at the Gold Coast Open last weekend, Dane made it through the Round of 32, just behind Jay Occhilupo, knocking out Byron surfer Kyuss King in the process. In a close quarter final his great run, and amazing week, came to an end when he was taken down by Maddy Job. Alister Reginato, from the recently re-christened Nunshine Coast, took out the mens. Lennox Head and HPC surfer Nyxie Ryan clinched victory in the dying minutes of the womens against Ellie Harrison with an 8.67.

THE WINNERS of the 58th Cudgen Headland SLSC 58th annual car raffle have been announced, and there would be few more deserving than the main prize winner. Matt and Lisa Bell won first prize; $15,000 towards the cost of a vehicle. “Matt Bell is a patrol member, Life member, spent many years on our board, is on our education team and is our ESO (Emergency Service Officer); a worthy winner in other words,” the club’s Car Competition Officer Lyndell Small said. 1ST: Mathew & Lisa Bell (547) $15,000 Towards a vehicle of their choice 2ND: Sami Harding (763) Five night $1,500 Paradiso Resort package in a two bedroom unit 3RD: Brad Mills (658) $1,200 Norco Scene 3’ Bike & Accessories thanks to Kool Bikes & Hire Kingscliff 4TH: Robyn Denny (795) $1,000 Urban Fashion Wear Gift Voucher from Neverland Robina 5TH: Michael Kennedy (368) $500 Womens Activewear Gift Voucher 6TH: Jennette Fry (641) $300 Woolworths Voucher 7TH: Cathy Swift (566) $250 Intex Challenger K2 Inflatable 2 Person Kayak 8TH: Kanta Machida (346) $250 Cudgen Surf Club Gift Voucher The raffle raises much needed funds for the club and is the main fundraiser for the year. “Monies raised go towards the main-

tenance and upgrades of patrolling equipment,” Lyndel said. “It raises over $20,000.” Congratulations to all the winners and congratulations to everyone involved in running the raffle (especially Lyndel and her sister Sandra Palmer) and selling tickets. All those hard yards the volunteers put in fundraising ensure the club has everything needed so volunteers can continue their life-saving work. Well done team.

Karma is real. Cudgen Headland SLSC car raffle winners Matt and Lisa Bell

game is such an integral part of what the game is all about. The pre-game entertainment was once again a real highlight. I was lucky enough to attend the Broncos training facilities and session on Saturday morning prior to the Cowboys trial. What an amazing experience and set up they have. Most clubs are building or have quality facilities, but the Broncos is

simply next level. The new ‘Clive Berghofer’ Performance centre allows the NRLW Broncos side to have their own facilities at the ‘Cyril Connell’ centre where multiple grand finals were earned. Some teams will be gearing up for the trip to Las Vegas next week while the Panthers will look to redeem themselves in England with the World Club Challenge Saturday morning.

This will be a quality contest and I for one will be getting up to watch the best team of the last 20 years take on the Poms in the cold of the mother country. This week sees the commencement of the women’s representative fixtures with the Open Women’s and Lisa Fiola Regional competitions starting at Grafton on Saturday. The Andrew Johns and Laurie Daley Cups will head into round 4 with local coaches Arwin Marcus, Nic ‘Fozzy’ Forrester and Montero ‘Monty’ Brown hoping the Northern Rivers Titans teams can progress to the finals. Unfortunately, round 3 to be held at Murwillumbah last week was cancelled due to flights from Sydney for the Illawarra side being cancelled on the morning of the game and will be played at a later date. Make sure you follow The Weekly’s Footy Tipping Competition in 2024 and welcome to those businesses that are part of the tipping comp each. See you at the footy. Quinny

There is good news for buyers with interest rates expected to start dropping either this year or early 2025, with analysts expecting more than one cut. The other good news is that there were actually more properties on the market in our area this January than January last year. According to data from PropTrack, regional NSW had a strong start to the year, with listings for the Richmond-Tweed area up 11.3 per cent from January last year. More choice means more competition which can bring prices down as well and that’s good news for buyers.
