AN ESTIMATED 180 Tweed residents gathered at the Black Rocks Sports Field on Sunday, February 26, to stage a peaceful rally and to call on Tweed Shire Council to approve the licence for the Pottsville & District Men’s Shed at the site. Among those in attendance was current Tweed Shire Councillors Warren Polglase, Cr James Owen, Cr Reece Byrnes, P&DMS President Michael Ryan, Convoy organiser Penny Hocking as well as former Councillors Barry Longland and Carolyn Byrne. Several residents spoke to The Weekly during the event and said they felt there was now a “glimmer of hope” for the licence to be approved to construct the shed. The hope rests on Cr Reece Byrnes who recently changed his view on the long-standing community issue and recently stated that he would vote to approve the three-year term for the Men’s Shed to be constructed at Black Rocks Sports Field. “I think now is the time to approve this site,” he said. “But I also feel that there’s a need to monitor koalas in the region and even get Men’s Shed members involved in this important conservation work.” Pottsville Community News Facebook page moderator Renae Davis Bevan told The Weekly she was amazed to see so many people in support of the Men’s Shed site. “Look at the number of people who, despite the heat, have come out in support of the Men’s Shed site at Black Rocks, it really shows people care and they’re fed up.” Rally organiser Penny Hocking previously told The Weekly that she believes there had been too many “false accusations” that the Men’s Shed members don’t care about koalas. “The false insinuation and accusation has been made that the Pottsville community or Men’s Shed members do not care about their Koalas. This is completely baseless and untrue,” she said. “The large majority of the community are angry and frustrated at the continual misrepresentation of the facts and the history of the field.” Cr Byrnes’ motion to grant a temporary licence to the P&DMS at Black Rocks will be put forward at the March 16 council meeting.
