Valley fires contained and under investigation

A PRIVATE CREMATION

By Megan Albany

Fire strategy saves vulnerable rainforest

With hundreds of hectares of heritage rainforest to protect, it took all the resources of both the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and the Rural Fire Service to contain the Wollumbin

      

Six members from the Far North Coast Team were on their way to assist our neighbours in Queensland Fire and Emergency Service with fires burning across Queensland.

blaze which first started on Saturday November 10. While the fire started outside of the National Park area, within days it had reached the park area burning 90 hectares of National Park and 169 hectares of land outside the park area. A spokesperson for the Office of Environment and Heritage said the NPWS put strategies in place to immediately protect rainforest areas and as a consequence, no rainforest was impacted. In order to contain the fire the NPWS engaged aircraft to map the fire ground as well as providing a helicopter to undertake water bombing. By November 29, their strategy had succeeded in containing the Wollumbin fire. Ahead of the severe weather last weekend, aerial water bombing was also a key strategy in containing the Mt Jerusalem fire along with the establishment of mineral earth lines around the fire front. NPWS and the Rural Fire Service are continuing to patrol both fires to ensure that rainforest areas within both National Parks are not threatened.

Local smoke from Queensland fires

Tweed Fire Control Superintendent David Cook has said local residents should not be concerned by the large amount of smoke in the air over the last week as the smoke was largely from across the border. “The smoke was not from our area, it was from the fires in Queensland,” Superintendent Cook said. “On Sunday there was also a dust storm which affected the air quality before the cool change came through.” As well as continuing to patrol the local fire front, Tweed Rural Fire Service Crews have also been called out to help with the ongoing fire threat in Queensland. “We’ve already had one crew go to Queensland and return and we have another crew going again on Thursday (December 6),” said Superintendent Cook. “It’s a hard slog, at the moment they are doing one day travelling up there, three days fighting the fires and then another full day travelling home,” Superintendent Cook said. “Employers of the volunteer firefighters have been very understanding and we are very lucky that we have such a supportive community.”

Hospital site vandalism under investigation NSW POLICE media has confirmed an act of vandalism took place at the proposed Tweed Valley Hospital site at Cudgen between Thursday, November 21, to Friday, November 22. The Weekly attempted several times to ascertain the specifics around the vandalism including what took place at the site. It has been suggested that some geotechnical equipment was damaged and some tools or a tool box was stolen, but specifics of the vandalism are yet to be revealed. Police media said they could confirm that the vandalism took place but were unable to provide any specifics prior to the print deadline.

“I have sent this inquiry to Tweed/ Byron PD and I am just waiting back for approval on a more detailed statement, however, I can confirm police are investigating,” a statement from NSW Police Media said. Speculation had surfaced last week that members of the Relocate Team may have been responsible for the vandalism. This has been strongly denied by the Relocate Team and members, who are also seeking more details around the alleged vandalism. Relocate Team leader Hayley Paddon said she was confused about the alleged vandalism case and hoped more details would come to light.

“I feel that due to the sensitive nature of this development, it’s important that the community know about any alleged vandalism,” she said. “I would like to strongly deny that Relocate Members were involved in this incident, as our members have always attempted to remain within the law in protesting this proposed site.” Meanwhile, Labor candidate for the Tweed seat Craig Elliot said he hopes a full investigation is underway. “As a former police officer, I would hope that there will be a full investigation into all aspects of this matter so the facts can be established,” he said. “Locals deserve to know exactly what has gone on here.”

INVESTIGATIONS ARE currently underway into the cause of the fires at both the Wollumbin and Mt Jerusalem National Parks which have now affected hundreds of hectares of bushland across. A spokesperson for the Office of Environment and Heritage confirmed that the Mt Jerusalem fire was started by a car that was illegally dumped and set alight within the park on Tuesday, November 27. Tweed Fire Control Superintendent David Cook said the matter is now a police investigation. “The cause of the fire at Gilwah Rd (Mt Jerusalem) is a police matter and investigations are currently taking place into the blaze at Eungella (Wollumbin),” Superintendent Cook said. While there has not yet been an announcement regarding the cause of the Wollumbin fire, Superintendent Cook said it was suspected as no accident. “They know the fire at Eungella wasn’t accidental but the fire investigation team are still preparing reports,” Superintendent Cook said. Despite the fact that the fires have now been contained, crews remain on watch to ensure there are no further flare-ups. “The fires have been contained but with the current hot weather they are now under patrol as there are still a few hot spots in the middle of fire and until we get any decent rain we have to keep patrolling to make sure nothing gets out of the box,” said Superintendent Cook.

Service station traffic chaos

On Thursday afternoon, November 29, a traffic jam occurred on the Tweed Valley Way roundabout that provides the gateway to the Murwillumbah CBD. The traffic jam was caused when the new Coles Express service station reduced petrol prices to announce its opening. The resulting chaos highlighted the folly of the Land and Environment decision to dismiss objections by local residents, local businesses and the local council. A similar incident at the morning peak hour would send a very strong message that our quality of life can be held to ransom by the whims of a giant supermarket and the poor judgement of few visiting legal brains on a north coast junket. Welcome to our world. Neville Jennings, Murwillumbah

Kingy Tri questioned

Yet another interstate-sponsored sporting event in Kingscliff last weekend and, yet again, residents effectively locked out of their own village by road closures. What happened to the community consultation promised by Council after the last such even earlier in the year? Has a single Kingscliff resident without a vested interest been offered the opportunity to sit down with either the promoter or Tweed Shire Council and offer their thoughts or advice on these restrictions of access? No. I really don’t care who won last weekend’s event; but the residents certainly came last, again. Jeremy Cornford, Kingscliff I n r e s p o n s e t o We n d y MacTaggart’s letter to the editor (Thursday, November 29). We live in Pottsville and always had a family of magpies, and also leather necks and small lorikeets. They have disappeared. We don’t seem to have as many pigeons either.

I n r e s p o n s e t o We n d y MacTaggart’s letter: where have the magpies gone?” Some years ago it was noticed that the magpie population in the Northern Beaches suburbs of Sydney were diminishing quite severely. It was found to be from an invasion of currawong. These birds are very aggressive in reducing or eliminating other smaller birds (they eat smaller birds such as wrens, finches etc) so by their nature and feeding habits other species vacate the area that they tend to colonise. Where we live near Norrie’s Headland at Cabarita Beach/ Bogangar the currawongs have moved in with the subsequent result that the magpies have moved out. The noisy mynah has disappeared completely (no mean feat) along with a reduction of various other bird species. How do we get rid of the currawong? Good question. We miss the warble of the magpie. Hazel Tree, Bogangar (Editor’s note: please see page 32 for more information on this local story)

Land swap congratulations

C o n g rat u l at i o n s t o Twe e d Shire Council for the flood-free commercial land swap proposal to mitigate unexpected deluges for Murwillumbah businesses. This response to recognition that the climate is changing is much more effective and realistic in response to extreme events that crying for, or trying to achieve, any useful effect in either the short or long term by limiting atmospheric emissions. Well done Council. Jim Berting, Murwillumbah

Forget about trains returning

The situation is: the government will not reinstate the line at this time, if ever. A rail trail comes about because there is a disused rail line and it means the corridor can be used by the community - in a different way (for active transport). It is not a “bike path” running alongside a working rail line. If the train advocates succeed in convincing the government to reinstate the train (soon, not in 20 years) the rail trail will no longer be necessary. Of course we need better cycle infrastructure and walking tracks, but that is a different issue.

Once the rail trail is built - if in the future, the government decides this is a good place to put a train, they can do it as there will still be a corridor. Honestly, do people really think the train will come back? When I ask people that question, even if they really want the train, they say “no, it is unlikely to happen after all this time”. Marie Lawton, Public Liaison/ Treasurer NRRT assoc, Byron Bay

Community consultation

I’m organising a rally so people can show their support for trains running on the Casino to Murwillumbah railway track. I’ve researched the subject and found the cost isn’t too great and the line condition isn’t that bad. People have a right to be heard about this issue. We’ve had no proper community consultation about whether we want trains or not. I spoke to a group of 40 pensioners recently who were unhappy about the loss of trains and the difficulties of getting on buses. One 90-year-old woman could still drive, so had her independence but didn’t know what she’d do once she couldn’t drive anymore. I saw a video of a young woman at the youth rally in Byron and if she wanted to go anywhere she had to get her mother to drive her or stand on the road and hitchhike. She wanted regular trains to get around and stated they would cut emissions by getting cars and trucks off the road. The last few weeks I’ve helped to survey local businesses about whether they support trains on our tracks and found 90 per cent agreed. Hopefully all these people will be able to come to our rally next Saturday, 10am at the Lismore Quad. Beth Shelley, Booerie Creek

Dungay is an amazing place

Having recently moved in August from the rat race of Sydney to your beautiful Valley we were and are constantly surprised at the wonderfully nice and helpful people we have come across. It is truly amazing, from our wonderful neighbours, all the local businesses (from the takeaway shop to the tractor sellers, the agri suppliers, the bank (yes even the bank) and an ever growing list) the helpful council staff and virtually everyone you come in contact with has been so welcoming and more than willing to share their knowledge and advice. Such a vast contrast to the city. Unfortunately, there are a few exceptions firstly the big brown snake that keep us hostage for four days taking up residence in our chook house. Even though he terrified us, he is part of nature here

so we will have to excuse him but who we can not and will not excuse and that saddens us mostly is that there are a few within the community who seem to want to ruin the piece of paradise you (and now us) have here such as the application for water mining on Dungay Creek Road and other water mining applications as well as the application for a ‘caravan park’ on Tomewin Road, both of which will do nothing but destroy the way of life you/we have. As they say beware of a wolf in sheep’s clothing and I urge everyone to be aware of the long-term effects of people and actions with hidden agendas and selfish goals. Andrew and Bianca Rice, Dungay

Response to Terry’s EIS letter

I take great offence to what Terry Sharples has to say about the EIS for the Tweed Valley Hospital. 1. 28 days is the correct amount of time for comment. You can simply say you agree or not. 2. If you were that interested you would be a subscriber to the website. 3. Those who subscribed were notified of the SEPP and EIS. 4. It seems to me all have forgotten it is not the Tweed Heads Hospital it is the Tweed Valley Hospital 5. The Tweed Valley Hospital will serve all residents of the Tweed Region and be a referral hospital 6. I strongly suggest for those who have not bothered to check the information themselves they should do so. 7. There are questions regarding the link between Leda and Labor, a link had been reported in the Gold Coast Bulletin. What are the pecuniary interests then? 8.The emotive issue of paid parking, for goodness sake aren’t you jumping the gun a little. I for one would not be bothered paying a few dollars for parking as a visitor. Everywhere else you go you pay through the nose. I do apologise for being so annoyed, if I can take the time to be a subscriber to the Tweed Valley development website, then anyone else with internet access can do the same. I find all the innuendo, misinformation, blatant lies and selfimportance of some others highly offensive. Marianne Melnikas, Banora Point

Distorting of hospital facts?

Suddenly we now have persons distorting the facts regarding our Tweed Valley Hospital. The ‘Heal our Hospital’ campaign led by the TDN was this decade and was for the redevelopment of the Tweed Hospital and upgrade of clinical services. The then Chair of the Medical Staff Council stating regarding the Master Plan, “planning was a well-

rounded, scientific, clinician-led exercise” (19/12/14). Formal records state the Local Health District (LHD), “is awaiting formal confirmation on the commitment to fully fund the redevelopment of the Tweed Hospital to the full scope of the Clinical Services Plan” (29/3/17). A Twe e d H o s p i t a l Te n d e r document (July 2017) for the LHD states, “the hospital is a modern contemporary referral hospital.” Indeed the majority of the hospital is 25yrs and younger. This document also reveals there are more than 700,000 staff, visitors and patients visiting each year. Removing this visitation out of the Tweed Heads economy is not even on the governments radar, nor the Chamber of Commerce. Of note, last month an analysis by a Sydney Business Chamber have found “hospitals can no longer be built in the back block”. The response to a formal request for information relevant to the criteria plan for site identification of the hospital project and Clinical Services Plan stated that the relevant area of Health did not hold the information despite the plans existence being formally documented in their own records. This matter to be reviewed. Contrary to statements the new Tweed Hospital has been consulted with council for 7yrs, the elected body as with the community first knew of this the same day the Minister made his announcement in April (but refused to disclose until now that the Tweed Hospital will close). On review of the EIS so far, elements are seriously misleading and there are significant omissions. And the more that is being unravelled on the hospital issue the more disturbing it becomes and the gravity of concern cannot be overstated. Lindy Smith, Tweed Heads

Water extraction applications to be voted on by Councillors

By Jonathon Howard WATER EXTRACTION for commercial bottling is back on the agenda this week as Tweed Shire Councillors prepare to cast their votes on several applications during their Planning and Committee Meeting tonight (Thursday, December 6). First up is an application to extract 38 megalitres a year from a rural property at 298 Dungay Creek Road and transport it via 19-metre water tankers to an off-site bottling facility, which has been recommended for approval by Council officers. The application dates back to September 2016 and Dungay residents have raised several objections including traffic safety, groundwater and creek levels, noise, dust and potential contamination of the site. The applicant has requested permission for five truckloads of a day, Monday to Friday from 7am to 8am, 9am to 3pm and 4pm and 7pm. A new driveway access point adjoining Dungay Creek Road is also proposed, along with temporary generator power until the mains power is connected, followed by generator backup for emergencies from 7am to 6pm, seven days a week. The applicant has offered to pay for any roadworks required to upgrade Dungay Creek Road, which includes minor tree removal in eight locations. A report by Council officers states the application has had a “long and protracted assessment” due to the applicant submitting additional information “sporadically”.

“The application has also been delayed by more recent legal advice regarding Council’s role in assessing Clause 7.15 of Tweed LEP 2014,” Council’s report read. This clause outlines that Council must be satisfied the development “will not have an adverse impact on natural water systems or the potential agricultural use of the land”. Council officers said as a result of the advice the applicant provided a hydrogeologist report that found the water source was “not under pressure of over extraction”, there is a “very low likelihood of impact on surface water flow, surface water quality or groundwater quantity in the local area; and the proposed extraction is unlikely to create a material impact to other groundwater users, or the environment”. “It is considered that the applicant has demonstrated that the extraction of the water and its removal from the ecosystem will not impact on the potential agricultural use of both the landholding and the surrounding lands,” Council’s report reads. “It is considered that the applicant has demonstrated that safe access to the site can be achieved and that Dungay Creek Road can be appropriately upgraded to service the proposal. “For these reasons the application is recommended for conditional approval which includes conditions of consent to minimise amenity concerns for nearby residents.” The proposed conditions include sealing the internal driveway to reduce noise and dust, planting a vegetative screen to shield the water

tanks and restricting trucks to the hours of 9am to 3pm. “These hours are reduced from the applicants request (7am – 8am + 9am - 3pm + 4pm - 7pm) to give the neighbours a reprieve on weekends and to avoid confusion around school bus times,” Council’s report reads

Response from Dungay Action Group

Dungay Action Group Inc president Jack Griffis has called on Councillors to defer “this and all such commercial water extraction applications” until the results of the Minister for Regional Water’s review into commercial water extraction are known. “We fully understand the position of Council, stuck between a rock and a hard place in having to deal with all these applications in a timely manner and given the constraints of the Tweed Local Environment Plan (LEP),” Mr Griffis said. “The 108 members of the Dungay Action Group Inc fully support the residents of Dungay Creek Road in their endeavours to have this and all such commercial water extraction applications deferred until the result of the investigations called for by the Minister for Regional Water are known. “We have advised Council of our concerns in this regard.” Mr Griffis said the group submitted an objection to the approval of the original Development Application in 2016. “As did our individual members and the many members of the wider community opposed to commercial water extraction in the Tweed Shire,” he said.

“We find the Dungay Creek application doubly concerning for our tiny rural settlement. “Our aquifers, creeks, flora and fauna are already under threat with the potential for a large manufactured home estate now before the Land & Environment Court and current proposed additions to a local high school to accommodate up to 300 pupils. “All of which will rely on water pumped from our aquifers for their water and sewerage needs.” Mr Griffis said there is “no actual scientific data available as to the extent of our aquifers, their connectivity or recharge rates”. “Neither Water NSW, nor any hydrogeologist, let alone Council officers or Councillors can be satisfied as to the effect of such extraction on the environment until such data is available,” he said. M r G r i ff i s d i d , h o w e v e r, acknowledge the efforts of Council’s planning department in assessing the application. “As is evidenced by the 95-page report, and we congratulate them on their efforts,” he said. “However, whilst Council officers are constrained, not so Councillors. “We look to Councillors to make decisions for the future good of the whole shire. In this case that future good means deferment of this and like applications until proper data is compiled.”

Urliup Road back on the agenda

Councillors will also decide whether to approve an application by the Karlos family to legalise their current operations from their 477 Urliup Road property, which

is recommended for approval by Council’s planning department. The application comes after a recent Land & Environment Court ruling that found the Urliup Road property only had approval for one bore, one 30,000 litre tank, six loads of water per day (12 trips), six-metre trucks and not exceeding five megalitres a year. Council officers said the Land & Environment Court judgement had clarified that despite what licences the State approved under the Water Management Act 2000, Council’s consent under the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 “still needed to be satisfied”. The application seeks approval for a 28.5ML annual extraction limit, trucks up to a length of 7.3 metres with a 13,000L capacity and the use of existing unapproved infrastructure (tanks, pipes, bores, shelter, and driveway) on site. If approved, 42 total truckloads per week would be permitted seven days a week from 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 6pm Saturdays and Sundays. While the application has been recommended for approval, Council’s report listed a range of conditions for approval including that each bore is to have a meter installed to be reported twice a year and available to Council at any time. The conditions also propose installing a CCTV station to record truck movements to the filling station 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, with data to be archived for a period of three months and available to Council, and for a log book to be maintained.

Big win for off-theplan buyers A recent landmark judgement in the NSW Supreme Court gave off-the-plan buyers of apartments a major victory over developers who try to renege on a deal. A developer took a group of 12 buyers of apartments in a new building in Sydney’s inner suburbs to court, arguing it was within its rights to rescind their contracts because problems had pushed the building’s completion date beyond the sunset clause date. The buyers argued that the developer was trying to cancel their contracts purely so he could resell the apartments for a higher price in the rising market. “This has happened all too frequently in apartment block developments, where developers have delayed completion and then used sunset clauses to cancel off-the-plan contracts, only to resell them days later for a windfall profit. There were a lot of eyes on this case,” said Merrill Phillips, award-winning certified conveyancer at Stacks Law Firm.

Spate of crashes keep emergency services workers busy By Jo Kennett EMERGENCY SERVICE workers have had a busy few days with two vehicle rollovers and a motorcycle accident as well as ongoing firefighting work. The driver of a utility which rolled on a hill on Tweed Valley Way on Friday, November 30, had a miraculous escape from injury. Volunteers from Tweed District Rescue were called to the scene 400 metres south of Stokers Siding at 1.47pm. Tweed-Byron Police District, NSW Rural Fire Service and NSW Ambulance officers also attended the scene. Tweed District Rescue Squad spokesperson Drew Carr said the vehicle lost traction and rolled. There is still speculation around how the vehicle lost control. “As it came to a stop it just touched the truck, but the truck wasn’t really involved apart from that,” Mr Carr said. “There was significant damage to the vehicle.” The cab of the vehicle was crushed in the accident but the driver escaped uninjured.

“It was also a significant test case for the government’s legislative changes made in 2015 to section 66ZL of the Conveyancing Act 1919, requiring each purchaser to consent in writing to the rescission of a contract, or the vendor to obtain an order of the Supreme Court to rescind the contract.” The off-the-plan buyers had put deposits down on their apartments in 2014 and had been battling the developer for the past two years to hold on to their contracts. Justice Rowan Drake ruled the developer had not acted justly or equitably in trying to rescind the offthe-plan contracts and dismissed the developer’s bid to tear them up. On top of that he ordered the developer to pay the legal costs of the 12 apartment buyers. Finance, Services and Property Minister Victor Dominello, who brought in the legislative changes to protect off-the-plan buyers, said it was a landmark decision. “It should give future off-the-plan buyers confidence their rights will be upheld,” he said. Merrill Phillips said this court victory shows it is worth getting expert legal advice when confronted by suspect moves by developers or builders who seek to change the agreement that has been signed. “It’s not just this sunset clause matter that can affect buyers. Developers and builders can also seek to change the size and shape of apartments while the building is under construction, so you are not getting what you signed up for.

“The angels were looking after him for sure,” Mr Carr said. On Sunday, December 2, the rescue squad were also called out to a motorbike accident in North Tumbulgum but were stood down before arriving at the scene. “The rider was airlifted to hospital,” Mr Carr said. Another accident at Tyalgum Rd Eungella around lunch time on Sunday resulted in the driver being airlifted to hospital. “It was a single vehicle rollover,” Mr Carr said. “The vehicle left the roadway and landed in the paddock. “We were very lucky because there was an access gate just near where the car had landed so we had easy access to the scene and there was also good access for the helicopter to land in the paddock.” Mr Carr said that rescue crews used hydraulic rescue tools to remove the driver’s door to free the driver. “The driver had significant but non-lifethreatening injuries and fortunately the two passengers were uninjured,” he said. “Ambulance Paramedics stabilised and treated the driver before the Westpac Rescue Helicopter airlifted the patient to the Gold Coast Hospital.

Queenslander nabbed with boot full of cannabis

TWEED POLICE have seized a total of 70kg of cannabis with a potential street value of $600,000 from the boot of a vehicle that was spotted driving erratically along the Pacific Motorway. Police Officers attached to Tweed/ Byron Target Action Group (TAG) stopped the Holden Commodore at Sleepy Hollow, at 3.15pm on Friday, November 30. Police will allege the driver, a 27-yearold man from Mount Tamborine in Queensland, had been seen driving

erratically, speeding up then slowing down in northbound traffic. “When the vehicle was searched, 70kg of cannabis was found packed in four sports bags in the boot,” police said. “The drugs have an estimated potential street value of $600,000. “The man was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station where he was charged with supply a prohibited drug (commercial quantity), and deal with proceeds of crime.” He was refused bail following two appearances before Tweed Heads Local Court on Saturday, December 1 and Monday (December 3).

“We did a quick look to see make sure it was okay to land but the helicopter has great technology and vision including night vision and they decide where to land,” he said. Mr Carr said that the new Westpac Rescue Helicopter was a seven-tonne machine and too large to land at Tweed Hospital which is why patients are flown to the Gold Coast University Hospital. Mr Carr asked people to take care of themselves in the hot weather. “With the heat experienced on scene and throughout the shire, Tweed Rescue urges people to stay hydrated, slip, slop, slap, and look out for your mate,” he said. Mr Carr told The Weekly that the hot weather could also cause changes to the road surface that drivers needed to be aware of. “Tar starts to melt and the road surface deteriorates and affects grips,” he said. “Hot mix asphalts aren’t so affected, it’s more the old style rock and tar surfaces that are a problem - the tar gets pushed to the side and you get divets. “People need to be aware of that and drive to suit the conditions.”

Some of the 2018 Environmental Leaders Program participants at graduation: Murwillumbah High School students Ethan Graham and Kika Brace, Wollumbin High School students Ella Curtis and Tahlia-Belle Janetzki and Lindisfarne student Patrick Brabant.

Environmental leaders graduate A graduation ceremony held at Tweed Regional Museum, Murwillumbah has celebrated 18 Year 10 students completing Council’s inaugural Secondary Schools Environmental Leadership Program. The program aims to better support students’ environmental initiatives in schools and the community. More than 30 students applied from 11 Tweed secondary schools for the 18 places, funded through Council’s environmental education funds. An additional grant from Boeing enabled students to benefit from the expertise of the Centre for Sustainability Leadership (CSL). The students completed a three-day Outward Bound Australia wilderness experience in Kunghur. Students are now putting environmental projects into action at school and in their community, with initiatives which range from

beach clean-up days, recycling in schools, to planting more native trees within school grounds. CSL worked with the students to explore the concepts of environmental leadership, refining their skills in delivering environmental projects and practiced sharing the students’ stories about their environmental passions and actions. Director of Science at Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School, Daniel Robins, participated in the program. “From being involved I got to see first-hand the value of the program,” Mr Robins said. “It was good for the students to meet Council officers who are working in areas they are passionate about. The program was an excellent opportunity to build on our efforts to set the right example in environmental sustainability at school.”

Flood repair work almost complete Tweed Shire Council is on track to practically complete all road repairs from the March 2017 flood by Christmas, weather permitting. A small amount of tidy-up work might continue into the New Year. As at the start of December, Council contractors were working on the last remaining repairs to 15 roads, namely Byrrill Creek, Commissioners Creek, Doon Doon, Eviron, Fernvale, Garden of Eden, Glengarrie, Hogans, Hopkins Creek, Kyogle, Limpinwood, Manns, Mt Burrell, Numinbah and Porters roads. On some of these roads, works were nearing completion. The only major outstanding roads and bridges task to go into the New Year will be to finish building the new Byrrill Creek Bridge, which is expected to be completed by June 2019. The new two-lane concrete bridge will replace a one-lane temporary timber bridge, which has been in place since the flood. It will be more flood resilient and comply with current design standards. It will cost $4.35 million, of which half has been funded under the Australian Government’s Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development’s Bridges Renewal Program. Council will contribute the other $2.17 million. Repairs to the South Murwillumbah flood levee also will be undertaken next year at a cost of $3.75 million. The March 2017 flood left 1529 road and bridge damages on 195 roads across the shire. In the immediate aftermath, the damages bill was estimated at $28.9 million but has since been revised down to $26.1 million. Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) funding has compensated for all but $3.5 million of the repairs, which includes Council’s contribution to the Byrrill Creek Bridge build ($2.17m). “We are very pleased with both the speed of repair to our roads and bridges and the fact that the shortfall from NDRRA funding is negligible, when you remove the cost of the new bridge at Byrrill Creek,” Manager Infrastructure Delivery Tim Mackney said. “The road repairs will effectively be completed six months ahead of the NDRRA funding cut-off of June 2019. Considering the repairs were the equivalent of an entire year of roadworks on top of our normal program, we are very pleased to have managed to deliver both within those timeframes. “In the emergency phase after the flood we did minor repairs while we planned a two-stage recovery process. First we enlisted a panel of contracting companies capable of undertaking the repairs and then, as packages of work were made shovel-ready, they tendered for the work available. “While this two-stage engagement process took some time to get in place, it has paid dividends by allowing us to cut through some of the red tape of contracting out works. “From there, our Flood Restoration team has managed the process very well and everything has flowed relatively smoothly and we are now in the enviable position of saying: ‘Job’s basically done’.”

Please help protect our newest Hastings Point residents Hastings Point is always a popular place, particularly for our feathered friends. Here’s an update on some special residents.

Beach Stone-curlews The critically endangered Beach Stone-curlew pair continue to diligently incubate their single egg in their protective enclosure, surrounded by locals and holiday makers making the most of the great beach weather.

We expect all going well, their single egg will hatch any day (it hadn’t at the time of going to print) and they will be proud parents of a fully-feathered chick. On the whole, the public has been super supportive in respecting the curlews, assisted greatly by a steady presence of local bird lovers and members of Northern Rivers Birdlife. Please remember: • Dogs are prohibited at the Cudgera Creek Park, estuary and beach. Rangers are doing regular patrols and the public are urged to report sightings of dogs in the signposted dog exclusion zone directly to Council • Please respect the fenced enclosure. Undue disturbance can cause the parents to move from the nest, affecting incubation and leaving the egg open to predation Once the egg hatches, the chick and parents may decide to move to a more secluded spot within the Cudgen Creek estuary mouth to start the process of chick-rearing. This is a very vulnerable period for the chick, so again we please request that the public respect the curlews, give them space and keep dogs away from this area.

when locals reported the nest as abandoned. However the pair obviously managed to successfully hatch one of their eggs and is now utilising the Cudgera Creek Estuary to raise their chick. Both parents have yellow leg flags ‘L4’ and ‘L6’ with both birds born in 2009 at Brunswick River and Belongil (respectively) in the Byron Shire. They are well known locals at Cudgera Creek, having lived here for many years. As with the Beach Stone-curlews please respect the oystercatchers, give them space and keep dogs away from this area.

Pied Oystercatchers

Pictured guarding its egg at Hastings Point is the critically endangered Beach Stone-curlew.

A birdwatcher recently reported to Council a week-old Pied Oystercatcher chick being fed by its parents – also at Cudgera Creek, Hastings Point. The Pied Oystercatcher is another of the Tweed Coast’s threatened beach-nesting birds. The Pied Oystercatcher had been incubating their eggs, again protected by a rope fence enclosure on the beach side of the creek

Avoid a stink with your plumber Tweed residents who think the sewer system is blocked should call Council at any time before they call a plumber to avoid a stink over a plumber’s bill. The phone number to call is (02) 6670 2400 in office hours or 1800 818 326 after hours. Council can quickly determine if the blockage is our problem or the responsibility of the property owner by checking the sewer inspection shaft. The inspection shaft is the point where responsibility transfers from the Council to the property owner. The owner is responsible for ensuring the inspection shaft is visible and accessible (not covered with vegetation etc) and for anything that happens from the inspection shaft back to the house. Council is responsible for maintenance and repairs downstream of the shaft in the public sewer. If a property owner thinks they have a blocked sewer, they can check their inspection shaft by removing the lid and looking inside or they can ring Council to get help. A general rule to apply is if the inspection shaft:

• contains wastewater or water, it’s probably Council’s problem and Council will fix it • is clear, it’s probably the owner’s problem and the owner will need to hire a plumber at their own expense, or • contains tree roots, it may be a shared problem and the cost to fix it also will be shared. In most cases, if a property owner engages a plumber, the property owner is liable for the bill. “We are receiving too many bills from plumbers we have not engaged and residents are being disappointed to learn that Council will not cover the cost,” Senior Engineer Peter Haywood said. “All Tweed plumbers know that Council should be called first to determine whether it’s a Council problem. They are asked to advise customers of this before they respond to a callout for a blocked sewer.” To avoid blockages in the sewer system, customers are reminded that many items are not meant to be flushed. Despite their name, ‘flushable’ wipes are not flushable and are increasing causing blockages at Council’s sewerage pump stations.

And while we’re on the subject of stinks ... If you flush wet wipes down the toilet, this is what you risk happening. The picture (right) was taken in Bega Valley Shire. It’s a wet wipe blockage being pulled from the shire’s largest and most critical sewage pump station next to a busy boat ramp and very close to oyster leases on the lake at Merimbula. In October we reported an increase in sewer blockages in the Tweed due to wet wipes being flushed down the toilet. Every blockage risks raw sewage overflowing into the environment and

all the inherent health risks that come with it. Every blockage also costs either the property owner or the ratepayer thousands of dollars as both workers and equipment can be tied up for hours clearing a single blockage. Then, there’s the damage to pumps and equipment. So, what is the real cost of those handy little conveniences? In Australia, it’s estimated at $15 million a year to pull them out of our sewerage systems. Please don’t put wipes in our pipes. Bin them instead.

How to recycle right A new Recycle Right Campaign to keep it coming ‘round has been launched this week by North East Waste and its member Northern Rivers Councils, including Tweed. The campaign reinforces the importance of recycling correctly and focuses on some key things we can all do to reduce contamination in our yellow bins.

Why do we need to take action? In the wake of China’s National Sword Policy which came into force January this year, the campaign aims to simplify recycling messages and highlight recent changes. For a long time China has been the largest importer of the world’s recycling, accepting over 30 million tonnes every year and ultimately having the capability to drive recycling prices and practices world-wide. Until a few years ago, China accepted recyclables with a relaxed contamination level of around 5 per cent – contamination being incorrect items mixed in with the material to be recycled. The National Sword Policy now enforces a strict contamination limit of 0.5 per cent, which understandably has sent the global recycling industry into shock with much of the world’s recycling no longer meeting this new export standard. Council’s Unit Coordinator, Rod Dawson said it was important to remember recycling is a product that forms part of a continuous cycle. “Unlike landfill, a closed system where items are buried in the ground and lost forever, recycling keeps coming around.” Mr Dawson said. “Where our recycling goes is dependent on market needs – the existence and profitability of companies who use recycled content to manufacture new items. The recycling industry is everchanging and therefore what we can put into our yellow lid bins changes accordingly.”

What can I do? Follow these six key Recycle Right messages when using your yellow lid recycling bin: 1. Keep it simple – only recycle hard plastic bottles and containers, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, paper and cardboard. 2. Keep out soft plastics – including ALL plastic bags, even if they have a recycling symbol, are degradable or compostable, and other soft plastics such as plastic film, chip packets, bread bags and biscuit trays. 3. Keep out small items – anything smaller than a credit card. All lids must now be removed from bottles and those smaller than a credit card placed in the red lid bin. 4. Keep it safe – no strapping, hose, netting, wires, building materials, broken glass, chemicals and other hazardous materials that can harm the MRF workers or damage the machines. 5. Keep it clean – rinse or wipe any excess food and drink from all bottles, containers and tins before placing them in your recycling bin. Keep out food scraps, nappies and soiled paper. 6. Keep it loose – put each item into your yellow lid bin separately, don’t bag, box or contain your recyclable items.

Fishing industry hanging by a thread after reforms players are left in the game and jack up prices and we end up importing more - which brings a big risk of disease.” Manager of PKG Seafoods Carmen Cameron said that the reforms meant that they would soon be unable to source quality local seafood. “I won’t buy imported seafood and even the big suppliers we have to buy from now in Brisbane, the big processors, don’t have the same quality as the local guys,” she said. “People are having to get jobs on top of their fishing work because they can’t make a living fishing - they are doing it pretty tough because the industry is so badly managed.” Manager of Markwell Fisheries and Vice President of the Wild Caught Fishers Coalition WCFC) Richard Brown, told The Weekly about an explosive encounter with NSW Primary Industries Minister Niall Blair last year. Mr Brown said he told the minister of the loss of their employees, Matt Roberts and David Chivers, when Markwell’s trawler the Cassandra sank in 2016. “We were there representing a lot of people who are struggling through these reforms and I said we are no different to farmers on the land, we are food producers, and he slammed his hand on his desk and told me we were not like farmers at all, he said that we bring nothing to the table,” Mr Brown said. “Tweed MP Geoff Provest was there, he arranged the meeting for myself and Clarence River Fish Co-op Manager Danielle Adams, Clarence Nationals MP Chris

Gulaptis, David McPherson, one of the most senior managers of the DPI, and Niall’s policy adviser were all there. “I brought to his attention that we pay to access that resource on behalf of the community and that the year before we (Markwell’s) lost our trawler off Fraser Island and two fishermen from the Cassandra lost their lives - these guys were husbands, fathers, uncles - and to me that was bringing something pretty special to the table going out accessing seafood for the community. “I’m pretty sure those guys in parliament like a feed of prawns and bugs at Christmas and to be told by the minister, that represents the fishers, that we bring nothing to the table I found disgusting. “He said, no no that’s not what I meant, bringing nothing to the table, and I turned around and asked, did he not just say that to me and they all bowed their heads and after the meeting they came up and apologised to me.” Mr Brown said that at that point Minister Blair excused himself and said he had an important phone call to make. “I said I thought this was pretty important, that’s why we paid our way to come down here because we’ve got guys on suicide watch, we’ve got people under immense pressure, but you go on take your important phone call,” Mr Brown said. “He promised to come back but never did and that’s the contempt we get treated with - he will meet with the Professional Fishermen’s Association (PFA) , which includes

members of the DPI advisory committee that benefited the most from the reforms, but no longer with WCFC because they have never been confronted in this way and they don’t like it but we are not going to give up,” he said. Mr Brown said that when WCFC had gone to the Independent Commission Against Corruption over the shareholdings dealings of advisory committee members they stated that “these were ministerial decisions and therefore outside of the grounds that ICAC worked on”. “The PFA board includes members of the advisory committee that were no doubt aware of the reform and were able to increase their shareholdings,” he said. “The DPI Share Register holds that information but that was ignored because we couldn’t prove it unequivocally, but those members were the ones putting the ideas for reforms forward and still are. “It’s the same people that continually get put on industry

committees and the same DPI management destroying our industry.” In response Minister Blair said that no one had been forced out of the industry. “All fishers have been given the choice about their future in the industry,” he told The Weekly. Minister Blair said that he had always been “a strong advocate of the fishing industry” and in response to his statement that fishermen “bring nothing to the table” he said that “simple observation shows there are differences in how farmers and fishers go about their work”. “For example, a farmer has to buy seed and fertiliser in order to grow a crop while a fisher has access to a valuable public asset. “Our reforms mean fishers now have a right to that public asset.” In reply Mr Brown said, “Fishers had to pay for their shares, nothing was given to us, we pay for licences and shares to access that resource.”

By Jo Kennett A GROUP of fishermen gathered at a Tweed Heads seafood retailer on Saturday, December 1, to raise awareness of the industry’s plight in the wake of recent fishing reforms. Fisherman Troy Jones was one of the groups at PKG Seafoods and said people he spoke to about the consequences of the reforms, on their ability to access seafood, were shocked. “We are here to create community awareness about what’s happening in the industry and that as we are pushed out of the industry, they will be unable to access fresh local seafood,” Mr Jones told The Weekly. “We don’t have the numbers to get things changed, so we need consumers to be our voice by contacting their local members. “Once our ability to access wildcaught local seafood is gone you can’t get it back.” Tweed Heads line fisherman Gary Bulmer said he previously had to sell his Qld and NSW licences because NSW Department Primary Industry (DPI) wouldn’t let him split the licences. “I didn’t want to get rid of my NSW licence but I was forced to and three months later they said we could split them,” he said. “They must have known that was in the pipeline and I can only assume it was, because then the licence disappeared. “NSW have a history of trying to get rid of licences - they are just forcing the small fishermen out in Qld and NSW and then only the big

By Megan Albany NOT CONTENT to rest on his laurels, President of the Tweed Foodie Festival and Creative Caldera, Michael Simmons, is already on to his next creative challenge and is determined to make the Murwillumbah Arts Trail 2019 (MAT19) bigger and better than ever. In 2019, the focus of the trail will expand from being an art trail, to including not just visual but also performing arts across the region. To cope with the extra workload required for such a big undertaking, Creative Caldera are seeking to engage a financial controller and sponsorship coordinator to join their production team, in what will be paid positions. Mr Simmons said the new positions were important to ensure funding conditions were addressed and that the money is spent as effectively as possible. While previously the committee had been responsible for the lion’s share of the organisation of MAT19, Mr Simmons said that due to the growth of the event, it was no longer feasible to continue without paid positions. “In 2019 it’s no longer going to be the Art Trail but an Arts Trail,” he said. “It won’t just be about the pop-up galleries and amazing artwork, but it will be very much about inclusion, so there will also be theatre, circus, music and a strong focus on youth theatre.” Mr Simmons also confirmed that the 2019 Murwillumbah Arts Trail would be merging with a larger conglomeration of events all taking place on the same date in May next year. “We’re trying to find a way for events in the Tweed Valley to work together and complement each other and collaborate,” he said.

“Next year on May 19, we will be combining the Arts Trail with the Kinship festival in Knox Park, the Tweed Foodie Festival, the Makers and Finders market, as well as having buskers and stages set up for entertainment in the main street.” While there will be two new paid positions, Mr Simmons said he was grateful that Dev Lengjel would remain as the Creative Director for the burgeoning event. “Dev has curated some of the major events on the North Coast including Swell on the Gold Coast,” he said. “He could curate anything he wanted to on the east coast so we’re very pleased he can see where we’re going with MAT 19 and that he has agreed to work with us again.” Mr Simmons said the growing community appreciation for the Murwillumbah Arts Trail was evidenced when it was announced on Monday, December 3, that the organisation had been nominated for the Tweed Australia Day Awards for Art and Culture. “It came as a total surprise, I don’t even know who nominated us,” Mr Simmons said. “Getting that external, official recognition is great encouragement for all those involved in the event. “This is a community-based event and the nomination shows that it really is something that resonates with the people of Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley.”

Students stage protest calling for action on climate change fears for the future without drastic changes. Many of the students told The Weekly that they were “fearful” for their future under the current environmental trajectory. One student, who could not be named as a parent was unavailable, said no reputable scientific organisation denies climate change. “The affects are obvious, action is necessary,” the student said. Year six student Jacob Bloor said he wants to see a stop to pollution. “It’s affecting a lot of wildlife and causing global warming,” he said. “What concerns me is the pollution in the water and its impact on trees and wildlife.” Jacob said he hopes the world will be a better place when he’s an adult. “If we don’t make any change there’s going to be more loss of species and a hotter environment.” Another year six student, Audrey O’Donnell-Parr, said she has concerns for the high levels of greenhouse gases in the air. “Coal mining is affecting the whole world,” she said.

Students held placards with different slogans including “We’ll be voting soon”

Order before Christmas and We Will Pay the Full 2018 Rebate Price!

Save up to $400 No need to be installed before end of 2018 Lock in your rebate before they fall!

At the end of every year the value of your solar rebate goes down as they are phased out for the next 12 years.

For the average 6 kW solar system that amounts to paying about $400 more if your new solar system is not installed before December 31st. All the solar installers are now pretty much booked out for installation before Christmas. You won't get it installed in time to claim the 2018 rebate price. Don't stress though. 888 Solar Tek will honour the 2018 rebate price on any residential solar system ORDERED before Christmas, regardless of when it gets installed. Lock in lower power bills now and pay for next Christmas with the savings. How much is the rebate going to be in 2019? For a solar system with 6.6 kW of panels you will receive a discount of approx. $3,488 off the price of a new solar system. Can the Government get rid of the rebate? Yes. The current Federal Government can kill off the solar rebate at any time, instead of phasing it out over the next 12 years as intended.

Students gathered outside the Tweed Shire Council chambers in Murwillumbah before marching through the streets

“Because when you burn the coal it releases a lot of carbon dioxide into the air and that is making the world hotter. “My fears are around the melting of the ice caps. “I believe it’s our politicians that can do something to help us and the world and we can have a less fearful future.” Mayor Milne praised the student’s efforts and encouraged them to research and understand the political parties that are supportive of addressing climate change. “Although I would not use these moments to get political, I will in this case and I would like to urge you students, to consider your future votes,” she said. “Without your help we cannot get this change to happen. “Individual actions are important and you kids are the leaders in climate action.”

The students were not without their critics, with several residents commenting via the Tweed Valley Weekly social media page. “As if kindergarten kids would actually understand what they are doing. Just a fun day out for them,” one comment read. “It’s not going to make a scrap of difference,” another comment said. H oweve r, m a ny c o m m e n t s praised the student’s efforts and a highlighted that every effort makes a difference. “I absolutely applaud these students. Good for them. They are standing up for what is right. I believe every effort makes a difference. As opposed to our unfortunate government that makes no effort and seems to have no idea,” one commenter said. Cr Cooper also spoke outside the Murwillumbah Council Chambers and said climate change is already affecting all of us.

“Most of the political leaders and people of my age will miss the worst of it,” he said. Cr Cooper said the students would face criticism. “You’re going to be called an unruly mob,” he said. “You are not. You are leaders. And you can encourage others to become leaders with you. “You are right to believe our so called political leaders are not listening to you. “They are not listening to scientists. They are listening only to special interest groups and those who are funding the next election campaign.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Did your son or daughter attend the Strike 4 Climate Action?

Off Grid Forever!

New Off Grid Solar Power Solutions advertisement

When Does It Make Sense to Go Off Grid Completely? I get asked by a lot people about whether it is feasible to go off grid. It does cost a lot more upfront, but most systems will pay for themselves in about 8-10 years. Apart from the financial considerations, there are many compelling reasons why we can’t afford to stay on the grid and burn more coal and gas. Humans are facing the largest crisis ever which will destroy human civilisation as we know it. With threats like climate change, deforestation and mass extinction caused by unsustainable human population growth, the natural systems that provide water, air and food are breaking down fast.

Do you have a small house, cabin or shed that needs a lowcost power system? 888 Solar Tek have scalable off grid solar systems that provide reliable power for small or large houses so you will never have a power bill again.

Bird experts to fly to Tweed Coast after three endangered chicks hatch

By Jo Kennett LEADING AUSTRALIAN bird experts are visiting the Tweed Coast this weekend after three endangered chicks were born in the Cudgera Creek Estuary at Hastings Point and Council Rangers ramped up dog patrols to ensure their safety. Beach-nesting Birds Project Coordinator with BirdLife Australia Re n é e M e a d s a i d t h e N S W Environmental Trust was funding guided bird walks and information sessions to help create awareness around the beach-nesting birds in the Tweed Shire. “It’s the best time because the beach stone-curlew has just hatched a chick and there are two pied oystercatcher chicks so it’s just a good time to be there,” she said. “We believe it’s the first time that the Tweed Shire has had a successful beach stone-curlew hatching with a new breeding pair. “We are really excited - we don’t often get to see beach stone-curlews because they are so shy and cryptic and critically endangered - there are hardly any left in NSW.” Ms Mead said it was very unusual to have the birds nesting in such a busy position in the creek-side park. “People are able to walk past on the footpath and see them but as soon as the chick is walking strongly the parents will move it and won’t come back to the same ‘scrape’ although they could come back to the area,” she said. “They will be mobile looking for food but because they haven’t nested in that area before we can’t predict exactly what they will do.”

Linda Brannian from Birdlife Northern River has been organising monitoring of the curlews. “Hastings Point is the happening place this year,” she said. “Environmental Consultant on threatened species management David Charley confirmed there are two pied oystercatcher chicks now in the area. “One chick whose parents nested on the beach is still growing and being cared for and protected by its parents and we had reports yesterday of another chick - David trekked up the estuary and saw the second pair of adults and their chick. They are both unbanded unlike the first pair.” Ms Brannian said that on Sunday morning visitors were treated to a rare glimpse of a beach stone curlew chick. “I had my spotting scope (like a telescope for birds). Children and adults were welcome to look, and many were rewarded with a chick poking from under the adults wing or stretching its legs,” she said. Rob Bonar has been one of the team monitoring the beach stone curlews and was at the sight when the day after the chick hatched on Saturday December 1. “It was just wonderful,” he said. “I come down most days and it’s just lovely to see. The fact that there are so few of them and they are just the most beautiful looking birds - it’s just really nice to witness this.” Graeme Donaldson has been visiting Hastings Point from Brisbane for 25 years and is an avid bird watcher. “I always use to see the curlews on the opposite side of the creek and

there was a group of three of them there at one stage but it’s great to see them in here with some type of protection around them provided by council,” he said. “There are still so many dogs in the exclusion zone, there was a guy with two dogs running through all the terns yesterday. “It’s a pity that the migratory birds have just about disappeared from the area, the eastern curlews, the whimbrels, and sandpipers. Mr Donaldson said the Chinese are filling in a lot of the wetlands and making it much harder for birds to fly out here,” he said. “They use China as a feeding and resting place on their way from Alaska and Siberia.” Locals told The Weekly that Tweed Shire Council have ramped up their efforts to keep dogs out of the dog

exclusion zones in the estuary and away from the birds and are now handing out significant fines to offenders.

studio but to also create an atmosphere and hub for the community,” Ms Macfie said. “Visitors will be able to learn about the artist’s techniques and purchase directly from the artist and then in the same precinct they will be able to have a coffee, a meal or a drink at the bar and sit down and listen to music and soak up the atmosphere of the art.” The launch day will also feature a Makers and Finders Market as well as the opening of M-Arts Gallery’s newest exhibition, Metamorphosis, which features photography, painting, sculpture, textiles and artwork from resident M-Arts studio artists.

After eight years in Australia working for respected restaurants Mavis’s Kitchen and the Tweed Regional Gallery Cafe, Italian born couple Giorgia D’Ambros and Luca Bassetto recently decided it was time to launch their own dining experience. “Our restaurant, Bacaro, is a new adventure for us,” Ms D’Ambros said. “We both come from Venice so we will be serving our typical regional Venetian food, concentrating on seafood and a lot of handmade food including pasta and gnocchi,” Ms D’Ambros said. “When people come here I want them to feel like they are at my home because when I was a little child my grandma cooked for me and I want to be able to give that experience to our customers.” The name for the restaurant Bacaro, refers to typical Venetian wine bars where people go to meet, drink a little wine and eat small portions of food. “Bacari’s are our typical bar where local people go,” she said. “Luca and I met at a Bacari in Venice so that’s why we decided to name our restaurant Bacaro.”

By Megan Albany FOLLOWING ON from the recent Development Application approval for the M-Arts Precinct, the Tweed Regional Gallery will officially launch its sub-gallery in the Murwillumbah CBD. The new Downtown Gallery will be launched as part of the official opening of the M-Arts Precinct on Saturday, December 15. Creative Director of the M-Arts Precinct Jill Macfie, said the launch is the realisation of her dream for the precinct and the arts community in general. “Having the Downtown Gallery at M-Arts will be a great opportunity for the whole town,” Ms Macfie said. “It will be wonderful to have the Tweed Regional Gallery having a presence in town and the Downtown Gallery will be able to provide access for local artists to have more opportunities to exhibit their work within the Tweed Regional Gallery.” The launch will also see Bacaro, a new Italian restaurant move into the precinct. The restaurant will feature authentic Italian food from Venice-born proprietors, Giorgia D’Ambros and husband Luca Bassetto. “We’re celebrating because now that we have approval from the council we can go ahead with construction and with building our dream,” Ms Macfie said. “This is our little opening as there is still more to come - more studios for artists, an art framer called Two Seas and a bar called Fitz + Potts.” Fitz + Potts are a Brisbane-based bar who recently won Best Bar in the 11th Annual Brisbane Eat Drink Awards and Ms Macfie said that balancing art with a quality atmosphere is part of the overall vision for the precinct. “We want to create a thriving hub for artists and art appreciators, to not only be able to wander in and see an artist working in their

Eco Pharmacy supports rising poetic author TWEED LOCAL Linda Plumbe has owned the Terranora Village Pharmacy for more than seven years and has recently rebranded the name to My Eco Pharmacy. Linda said she made the change because of her passion for the great ranges of natural and eco products now on the market. “When I started researching the alternative products that are now available, I was amazed at the huge range and high quality,” she said. “I also realised that I was always referring my customers to a Chiroparctor and a Naturopath, so I decided to install a “Care Booth” in the pharmacy, to accommodate these services. “So now you can come here and be treated holistically.” My Eco pharmacy still offers traditional pharmacy products, but also offers natural or eco alternatives so you can make your own choice. “We have something for everyone,” Ms Plumbe said. “We also have a huge range of gifts including candles, skin care, scarves and jewellery by Enhance Accessories who support the International China Concern, a charity that helps underprivileged children in China.” My Eco pharmacy will also be supporting up-and-coming poetic author, Britt Rose, who recently launched her first book of poems titled Shimmer. At 26 years of age, Britt has been struggling with depression for most of her life. “I just never felt like I belonged, like I just wasn’t meant to be here,” she said. “I started to write Shimmer to try and understand what I was feeling and to try and overcome the mountain in front of me; to just feel a little bit better. “Through the poetry and writing, I not only overcame my depression and anxiety, but I have helped others to begin to understand their own journey and overcome their own obstacles.

“I’ve lived in Terranora NSW for the past year. I love the energy, atmosphere and connection to nature that this location inspires. “A lot of my writing was done near the beach listening to the waves or up in the mountains surrounded by the serenity of silence.” Brit said her ultimate goal is to remind people they are not alone in this world. “We all go through ups and downs, face our inner demons and have to overcome these things,” she said. “My hope is that Shimmer becomes a small beacon of hope to those that feel like the world is too heavy sometimes. “Your thoughts are such powerful things and you have to choose which side to feed, the dark or the light. “The important thing to remember is that we are never alone and that there is always help available.” Shimmer is available on Amazon, ITunes, all major ebook platforms and the hard cover is being sold at My Eco Pharmacy NSW.

Shade covers for South Tweed bowlers

A STRONGER Communities Programme grant from the Federal Government was presented to the CEO of South Tweed Bowling Club, Angus Southwell, for muchneeded upgrades by Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot on Friday, November 30. “The funding gives us a fantastic opportunity to upgrade some of the shades associated with the bowls space,” Mr Southwell told The Weekly. “Bowling is one of the few things that gets older community members out and active, but the sun associated with where we live does play havoc with some of the equipment. “Having this funding from the federal government allows us to upgrade the shade to better protect our members during the long summer.” Mr Southwell said the installation should be complete before Christmas. Mrs Elliot said it was wonderful to spend the morning at the club announcing the funding

“with these wonderful bowlers and to get some tips from them”. “Obviously the shades have been here for a long time and they have become quite dangerous, so it’s really important that they are replaced,” she said. “A lot of people in our community play bowls and really enjoy it so it’s important to deliver the funding which is being matched by the club so they can be replaced very soon. “That’s what the Stronger Communities Grants are about, it’s about having funding for those smaller projects to improve their infrastructure and their capacity to provide services which is a really great example when you look at the number of people that actually use it and the necessity to replace it.” Margaret Ware is the mother of the club president, the wife of the treasurer and is known as “the sweet lady”. “Every day I’m here giving out fruit and lollies to the players and as you can see the shades are not in the greatest condition at the moment,” she said.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE community activist and master mariner Bill Fenelon has been announced as the Greens state candidate for Tweed. Mr Fenelon said he is dedicated to serving and enriching the local communities of the Tweed, declaring it “the best place in the world”. Having sailed across the globe, Bill is proud to call the Tweed his home and said he is committed to seeing the Tweed thrive. “I’ve travelled around the world and have seen some amazing places, unique attractions and stunning natural landscapes but nothing beats the Tweed,” he said. “I just love the pristine beaches, crystal clear rivers, rugged mountains, quaint country towns, national parks and the friendliest people, and just a stone’s throw from the vibrant hubs of Byron and the Gold Coast.” Employed as a Foreign Going Ship Master, Mr Fenelon has worked at the cutting edge of the business world. “I know the importance of jobs and a strong healthy economy,” he said. “But it must be sustainable, not just cheap exploitation of the environment. “As well as jobs and tourism, I stand for a strong education system, and will fight for affordable housing.” Having settled permanently in the Tweed in 2009, Mr Fenelon has been a passionate campaigner on local issues. “I decided to swallow the anchor and get involved in community issues,” he said. A vocal activist and environmentalist, Mr Fenelon supports the relocation of the planned Tweed Valley Hospital in a bid to protect prime agricultural land and preserve the village atmosphere of Kingscliff and the Tweed Coast. He has also taken a lead role in the campaign to save the Tweed’s railway, advocating a

retention of rail lines, reinstatement of rail services including linking it to the Gold Coast, along with the creation of rail trail cycleways. Mr Fenelon reintroduced sailing as a sport on the Tweed River by starting a not-forprofit sailing club to mentor youth. He is the Club Commodore of the Tweed Valley Sailing Club and has developed a programme to enable those with disabilities to take part in sailing activities. “I am committed to engaging with the community to bring their concerns to the NSW Parliament,” he said. “Time and again our community campaigns have clashed with a bureaucracy determined to promote profit for the benefit of a few against the overwhelming wishes of the community. “For example, exploitation of groundwater, rampant logging of native vegetation, ripping up our rail tracks, and inappropriate developments such as the Cudgen hospital site.” Mr Fenelon states that he is purely motivated by local community interests, not careerism or party politics. “I represent the voice of the community, and my candidacy seeks to end greed, profiteering and the destruction of our unique, pristine environment,” he said. “We need someone who will stand up for all the right reasons. “The Tweed is the best place in the world, and I’m dedicated to ensuring it stays that way.”

Local News 23

Why choose a Scenic tour T

here can be a lot of misconceptions about escorted group touring, however an escorted tour often offers experiences that would be all but impossible to get by yourself. Gone are the days of trundling on and off a coach at every photo stop or traipsing around en masse as an umbrellawielding guide reels off the standard spiel; where you arrive late to your room each night only to be up before the sun the next day, spending more time on the road than experiencing the destinations. If these are what you’d expect from an escorted tour, then it’s time to challenge those misconceptions about group touring. Escorted tours are about getting under the skin of a destination, understanding what makes the country and its people tick, and creating unforgettable memories and friendships along the way. Often or not, they offer experiences that would be all but impossible to get by yourself. To merely travel to a destination is no longer the norm, with tour companies now going beyond to enhance the travel experience so you can come away not just with a few touristy snaps, but with a deeper appreciation for the destination.

That sense of authenticity comes through in every aspect of a Scenic tour. There’s no need to spend days or weeks researching on the internet before you go when you’ve got an experienced tour leader to steer you towards the best local restaurants (which aren’t necessarily the ones with Michelin stars on the door), introduce you to the most interesting local characters, bypass the queues at museums and attractions, and make sure every hotel check-in and every transfer goes off without a hitch. The tour guides are also experts in their chosen area, so instead of poring over guidebooks to understand the history of the place or work out which flora and fauna you’ve spotted along the way, you can tap into their extensive knowledge and come home more clued up about how much you have seen and done. Holidays aren’t all about sticking to a schedule, with travellers are often put off by an escorted coach tour thinking they will be restricted to this. These says, touring itineraries factor in plenty of time to yourself, with the flexibility to dine in your choice of restaurant, spend the afternoon meandering around a city to see what you come across, or bolting on extra time before or after a tour to make the holiday your own.

If that includes seeing the quirkier side of the country, then you’re in luck. Passengers on an escorted tour are as likely to find themselves speeding across the sea on a luxury yacht or hopping up behind the hump of a camel as they are taking a city tour by rickshaw or a rail journey through epic scenery. The accommodation does just as much to enrich the journey, from luxurious centrally located hotels to properties with so much local character that they are less a place to stay and more an integral part of the experience. With a Scenic tour your journey does not finish when you board the plane to fly home. It is the lasting memories that are shared in stories when you return home. More often than not, fellow travellers often get along so well that they keep in touch long after they get home, or even arrange to meet up again on another tour. Scenic tours are expertly crafted and plug you into the authentic culture of countless destinations across the globe.

Banking Re-imagined in Murwillumbah SOUTHERN CROSS CREDIT UNION (SCCU) OPENED THE DOORS TO THEIR NEW MURWILLUMBAH FINANCIAL SERVICE CENTRE ON MONDAY DECEMBER 3RD AND LOCALS ARE ALREADY TALKING. CEO Stuart Edwards mentioned “Far from a traditional bank branch, a key objective of our design was to create an environment where people feel comfortable within a space that reflects the beauty and diversity of our Northern Rivers region. We set out to create an environment that doesn't just reflect the community, but becomes part of the community.”

These specialists are able to help identify and service your entire banking needs, without having to refer you elsewhere in the organisation.

“At a time when financial institutions are heavily focussed on digitising the in-branch customer experience, our focus has been the opposite, to put people, relationships and conversations first. This is how we get to know, understand and support our customers. The feedback we have received so far has been overwhelmingly positive and reinforces to us that this is the way forward.”

The new Murwillumbah Financial Service Centre is the latest to be implemented after Ballina and Byron Bay were completed earlier this year.

The team at the new Murwillumbah Financial Service Centre includes high-performance specialists with expertise in all of SCCU’s products.

Murwillumbah drought helpers deliver Christmas joy By Jo Kennett A TEAM of Murwillumbah residents have completed a Christmas hay run to droughtstricken farmers at Bonshaw, west of Tenterfield, and are now turning their sights to farmers affected by fires in Queensland. Truck driver Tim Newell made his seventh trip delivering hay and feed, which was bought with a $3,000 donation from the Courthouse Hotel owners and customers with fuel supplied by Col Moore and Sons. “It’s further west than Mingoola where we went last time and it was stinking hot - close to 40 degrees - dry, and they had those horrible westerly winds which just really dry it out,” he said. “There’s nothing on the ground, even if it looks green in some places is just goat’s head burrs and that’s it. “The dams are pretty dry and some have bore water for home use - they can’t pump it for irrigation so they haven’t got a lot for the stock and cattle are getting stuck in the mud in dams.” Tim said the donations were well received and the families were very happy to get out and socialise with others. “They are happy to see new faces and talk but the biggest topic is the drought,” he said. “For them to just have a couple of hours to sit around and have a barbecue and a beer and not have to worry about feeding the stock

or anything, that’s probably the biggest thing,” Tim said. “Just to have a break and a chat with neighbours and talk with someone who is going through the same thing and get it off their chest is huge.” Donna Needham and Tracy Law head the Murwillumbah District Supporting Aussie Farmers and while Tracy couldn’t make the trip due to a family emergency Donna went out to deliver supplies. “We had two car loads of hampers and brand-new clothing from local businesses,” she told The Weekly. “It was fantastic - we had about twelve families turn up and there were three that couldn’t make it but we left hampers for them with their names along with hay and cattle feed. “They were really grateful - they were saying, there are people worse off than us.” The team had six pairs of good second-hand boots that had been donated which made one young man very happy. “His mother heard someone asking if anyone needed boots and she told him to go and ask the lady,” Donna said. “I told him to have a look in the container and he pulled them straight out and tried them on and they fitted and he said, ‘they fit’, and the smile on that boy’s face was absolutely priceless, it will stay with me forever. “We also had a three-pack of Bonds socks and the socks he had

New boots made the day for this boy

on were holey so he got a new pair of socks to go with them.” Donna said the whole thing was worthwhile just to see that. “He was about twelve and he had two sisters and he lifted them up to help them get a present and then he helped mum carry the hampers.” she said. “I would have given him everything - he was just a lovely little boy. “Bakers Delight had given us 18 Christmas cakes and they were really happy with them too and the hampers that were left over are going to Mingoola on December 15.” Donna said that IGA also donated six hampers. “Murwillumbah District Supporting Aussie Farmers got another 20 hampers including

donations from Coles and Coles customers,” she said. “Storage King Murwillumbah donated boxes, businesses donated new clothes and one business dropped in a heap of shampoos and conditioners and that sort of stuff. “Sandra from Poster Paradise has done all our printing which has been really helpful.” John Davis has made three trips out west with the team. “I think every community out west needs help in a big way and the government’s just not doing it,” he said. “I spoke to one lady out there and her husband and friends were just workers and because the farmers are going broke they have all lost their jobs as well.

“They are struggling just as much as the farmers, it’s affecting everyone and the amount of paperwork people have to fill out to get assistance, it’s just way too much.” Tracy Law said now the team were turning their attention to farmers affected by the fires in Queensland. “They need urgent help so that’s where the funds from the Christmas trees we are selling at the Roundabout Takeaway will go,” she said. “We are also looking for cash donations which can be left here (at the Roundabout) that can be used to purchase things like stock feed and fencing material. “Anything we generate between now and Christmas will go to farmers up there.” ©2018/321

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement. The anode in your system should never be allowed to corrode away, whatever type or brand of system you have – solar, electric, gas or heat pumps.

Foodie Fest a huge success

The steam punk table was a hit with onlookers

Volunteers from Cabarita Youth Service with Peita Gardiman (left) and director Kerry Turner (red top)

ALMOST THREE thousand locals and visitors converged on Murwillumbah for the Tweed Foodie Festival on Saturday, December 2, marking the return of an iconic event that’s set to grow in 2019. Tweed Foodie Festival director Kerry Turner told The Weekly that many of the local food stall operators sold out of product and the feedback from visitors has been “outstanding”. The event offered dozens of tantalising food options from incredible savoury meals to scrumptious desserts all for $8 per plate via a ticketed system. “We were very strict in keeping the food stalls 100 per cent local with only two businesses - security and traffic management, coming from outside the Tweed Shire - as we did not have a local option,” she said. “We will always strive to keep the money spent at these events local and ensure we are supporting our local cafes and restaurants in the lead up to Christmas and during their quiet time in January.” Ms Turner said she was still in the process of determining the profits to the Tweed Shire and will produce a report during December. Tweed Foodie Festival president Michael Simmons said he was delighted with the event and looked forward to creating an even bigger festival in 2019. “Next year we are combining the Tweed Foodie Fest with the Kinship Festival and the start of the Murwillumbah Arts Trail 2019,” he said. “This is going to make for an amazing day of activities and will be a whole new format for the community to come together and celebrate what the Tweed has to offer.” Ms Turner said she wanted to thank the Murwillumbah Lions Club and Murwillumbah Rotary for their assistance during the festival. She also extended a big thank you to the Makers and Finders Markets, who added another aspect to the event. “Both the Lions and Rotary members did an outstanding job and I’m so thankful for their support, as well as Makers and Finders Markets,” she said. “I’d also like to thank the performers organised by Tweed Creative Studios who had many people dancing into the night. “I’d like to also thank Cabarita Youth Service and Peita Gardiman for helping us to set up on Saturday, they did an amazing job. “We couldn’t have done it without them.”

Missing magpie mystery solved

Murwillumbah East

By Megan Albany THE CONVENOR of Bird Life Northern Rivers, Linda Brannian, has said her organisation was unaware of any issues with Be Safe Be Respectful Be A Learner the local magpie population and that there could be a simple and natural explanation Our year 5 and 6 students have just for the disappearance of the black and returned from a three day adventure at Tyalgum white songbirds from local gardens. Ridge. �t was an ac�on filled camp with a strong “I am not really sharing the observation that focus on examining and exploring the magnificent nesting birds have been less evident of late natural, local environment. The children took part and members of Bird Life Northern Rivers in seven very different ac�vi�es across the three haven’t mentioned it to me as a concern,” said days and had enormous fun with their friends and Ms Brannian. teachers. While there had been concern expressed about potential damage to nesting birds from �tudents par�cipated in a broad range of the recent hail storms, Ms Brannian, said it ac�vi�es including the challenging high and low was more likely that the birds have just moved ropes, kayaking on the lake, camping skills and with the seasons. BMX riding. “There is always concern with the high winds They were taken on hikes to explore the nearby we’ve been having about damage to larger nests and raptors but I don’t think the recent waterfall to learn about the landscape surrounding storms have had any particular impact on this amazing natural water feature and improve the magpie population,” Ms Brannian said. their understanding of the importance of being “What people could be noticing is the natural caretakers of the environment in which we live. shifting of birds that tend to nest in the spring Teachers who a�ended the camp with our senior and now it’s summer so they would be moving student�s spoke highly of their posi�ve and their young to other feeding areas.” enthusias�c behaviour. They were impressed by Ms Brannian said while she wasn’t concerned about natural seasonal changes to bird life, she the collegiality of the group and how suppor�ve remained concerned about the bird population and encouraging they were of each other. The in general. camp is designed to give the children the chance “Overall there’s always concern for the bird to explore a new environment, build population in terms of loss of habitat and resourcefulness, personal ini�a�ve and leadership that’s why it’s so great that urban gardeners skills. are doing the right thing by planting natives to support birdlife,” she said. The memories of the �me spent with friends at Ms Brannian said that the birds of most Tyalgum Ridge and the personal growth that will concern to her organisation were actually have resulted from accep�ng the challenges and smaller birds such as fairy wrens and responsibili�es presented to them will help shape honeyeaters that needed specific habitat that our older students into posi�ve and enthusias�c wasn’t always catered for. young people preparing to move into high school in the very near future. “Right now everything we are doing favours larger birds such as magpies as we are planting big bushes with big berries, such as grevilleas,” Charles Street, Murwillumbah 6672 6781 www.murwillume-p.schools.nsw.edu.au Ms Brannian said. 81033

Public School

While she stressed it was important to cater for the larger birds she said balanced habitat was necessary to prevent an overpopulation of one predatory species so as to avoid impacting other vulnerable birds. “It’s all about the balance of nature as for the big black and white birds, such as butcher birds and magpies, a small baby bird can be as good as a piece of meat someone is feeding them,” Ms Brannian said. It is important when planning wildlife corridors in your garden to also ensure you provide safe habitat and food for smaller birds according to Ms Brannian. “Small bushes that provide refuge and small blossoms that favour the honey eaters can help provide habitat for smaller birds,” she said. You can also plant a native bush with spikes that can provide safe places to nest that bigger birds and cats can’t get to.” Ms Brannian said local councils have good information about planting for birds and also how to ensure your cat leads a bird-friendly life. “Council have great information about the best ways to ensure you can have a good life for your cat while protecting our wildlife.” If you have any concerns about local birdlife or would like to volunteer contact tweedbirds@bigpond.com

Experience the Chilli Xmas market

MEMBERS OF the Chillingham Community Association say there is no need to brave the European winter in Munich or Salzberg to experience a true Christmas market. Residents simply need to drive to Chillingham on Sunday, December 9, to experience the wonders of Christmas in the Tweed Valley this year. Visitors can replace slushy snow and gluhwein with homemade lemonade, gourmet coffee, local honey and a full breakfast in a sunny garden setting. The homemade jam and chutney stall near the market entrance, has a full range of tasty local products. There will be numerous opportunities to support the local economy by stocking up on Christmas gifts of pottery, brica-brac, and handcrafted jewellery. All the usual stalls will be in operation as well as some special stalls stocked with unique Christmas gifts including retro menswear, woodwork and vintage vinyl. Live music will be provided between 10am to 12pm by vibrant young entertainer Emmagen Rain. The market will be held between 8am and 1pm on Sunday, December 9, at the Chillingham Community Centre at 1469 Numinbah Road, Chillingham “Save your travel dollars and experience a unique Australian Christmas market,” Market organiser Sue said. Sue can be contacted by phone on 0428 793 141 or by email: markets@chillingham.org.au

NORMANDY NUDE

81042

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

We all giggle when we see calendars with naked celebrities who accept to participate in a project to support a charity. There have been several films that revolve around this, but the French comedy Normandy Nude has a fresh take on it. The story is set in a sleepy village in Normandy where times are difficult, with plummeting meat prices especially problematic for many of the farmers. They decide to stage a protest to get politicians’ attention to the fact that their livelihoods are in peril. The protest is organized in the typical farmers way: they block the highway, burn some hay bales and demand more money from Paris and the European Union. But nobody pays attention to the protest other than a famous American photographer – a fictionalized version of Spencer Tunick, the photographer best known for organizing large-scale nude shoots. Spencer falls in love with one of the village’s meadows and wants to do one of his pictures of hundreds of fully undressed people in the meadow. The village’s mayor, willing to do anything to help out his fellow farmers – he himself is a dairy farmer who has been elected mayor already 15 times and is so dedicated to his two jobs that his wife divorced him because he was always working - decides to convince the community that perhaps getting naked in front of the lens of a famous photographer might help get their protest noticed. Directed by Philippe Le Guay of The Women of the 6th Floor fame and starring Georges Balbuzard (The Intouchables) and British Toby Jones, Normandy Nude is quite mild in terms of exposing naked bodies, with most of the brief nudity tucked into a couple of extreme wide shots, but in the process the film touches upon subjects such as anti-globalism, environmentalism and village folklore with sensitivity and humor.

Book Launch Counting on Murwillumbah: poetry by Nola Firth

Launcher: Jonathon Howard, editor, Tweed Valley Weekly Wednesday December 12 at 6pm. Regent Cinema Murwillumbah

80981

LITTLE STEVIE & THE TAIL FINS

POPULAR LOCAL poet and writer Nola Firth is preparing to launch her latest book of poetry titled Counting on Murwillumbah at the Regent Cinema on Wednesday, December 12. The launch will take place from 6pm with a reading from Nola and introduction from The Weekly editor Jonathon Howard. Nola has a deep passion for the Tweed Shire as well as for her work in the area of supporting students with dyslexia, an area she has worked extensively. Nola also won the Byron Writers Festival Dangerously Poetic Prize in 2017 for her poem Counting on Murwillumbah. “The book was partly inspired by the poem Counting on Murwillumbah, but also includes other poems that inspire me,” she said. The book features a front cover image of Wollumbin Mt Warning taken by celebrated local photographer Rob Olver. The book features 68 poems ranging across almost 80 pages. “My heartfelt thank to Ross Donlon for his feedback on the manuscript and his support for its publication through Mark Time Books,” Nola writes in the acknowledgements. “Thanks also to Matt Heatherington for his feedback on several poems and on the manuscript as a whole. Anyone wanting to find out more about the launch can contact the Regent Cinema on (02) 6672 8265.

Nola moved to Murwillumbah from Victoria nearly three years ago and the book contains the title poem and others celebrating and investigating places in the Tweed. This is Nola’s second book of poetry and along the way she has won national poetry prizes. Fellow Murwillumbah poet, Matt Hetherington, says . ‘Nola writes with an unaffected precision and a passionate modesty born of decades of observance.’

Elders Tweed Valley team with Camp Quality represenatives

The pig races were a huge hit and the red pig was the

Family Fun Day a success

HUNDREDS OF local families converged on the Brothers Leagues Club on Saturday, December 1, for the Murwillumbah Family Fun Day presented by Elders Tweed Valley. Fun Day organiser and Elders Tweed Valley Principal Sally Mitchell said the event raised more than $4,000 for the nominated charity Camp Quality. Among some of the highlights this year was the water slide, jumping castles and famous pig races. “It was such a great day and the feedback has been great,” Sally said. “We had people dropping in throughout the event and everyone loved the pig races this year.” Sally extended her appreciation to the local sponsors who helped make the event a reality this year. “We could not have had the event without the support of our great local businesses,” she said. “I’d like to thank Southern Cross Credit Union, Branding Irons Studio, Caldera Angus, Cunningham Valuers and Property Advisers, Open2view, McGregor Gourlay, Member for Richmond Justine Elliot, SL Conveyancing, Matt Sands Projects, Meat Merchant, Edwards Plumbing, Matt Palmer Painter & Decorator, Strobuild, The Weekly, Premier Benchtops, Mount Warning Hotel, Uki Supermarket, Bianchetti & Sons and Brothers Leagues Club.” Sally said she hopes to run the event next year possibly around June or July.

Featured Business

Swap a Bottle is a locally family owned & operated Lp Gas supply business which prides itself on great service and competitive pricing. Based at 10 Kite Crescent Murwillumbah, we service all over the local area with distributors also based from the Gold Coast to the Tweed Coast. We offer “no Rental” fees on our cylinders and you can even drop in and pick up a large gas bottle and have your own bbq bottle filled onsite for $20 while you wait! Amy and I were born & raised in Lismore NSW, Moving to the Tweed over 20 years ago. After almost 30 years continued work for a large gas corporation it was time to start our own small gas business while starting our own family. We started small in gas fitting then moved into outdoor heater hire and gas supply to restaurants. With such support & demand we broadened into gas swab cages and then eventually the large 45kg cylinders. It’s been rewarding having our family grow alongside our business. Both of our children enjoy local sports and as such we’ve been proud sponsors of Seagulls Jrl and Bilambil Touch Association for many years.

Give us a call on 1300 727 013 or send us an email swapabottle@bigpond.com. Check out our website for more info at www.swapabottlegas.com or drop in!

Labor pledges to assist with land lease power prices THE NSW Labor Party has pledged to ensure fairer electricity pricing for residential land lease community home owners should it take government at the next election vowing to help those struggling across the Tweed Shire to pay their power bills. According to a media statement from Shadow Minister for Better Regulation Yasmin Catley, along with Labor candidate for Tweed Craig Elliot, a Labor Government w i l l m a ke a m e n d m e n t s t o the Residential (Land Lease) Communities Act 2013, to ensure land lease community operators are charging home owners a fair cost for electricity. The electorate of Tweed has around two dozen residential land lease communities which equates to several thousand permanent residents. Currently, many operators are skimming off the top by charging electricity rates much higher than their maximum rate paid to the utility provider. Additionally, residents are often not able to choose their own electricity provider leaving them

locked in to the operator’s electricity plan. Some residents may choose to opt out, but installation of a meter can cost upwards of $400. Mrs Catley cited a recent court case, Reckless v Silva Portfolios Pty Ltd t/as Ballina Waterfront & Tourist Park, that highlighted the exorbitant mark-ups of land lease communities. While the home owner in this case paid $44.19 in December 2016, if she had paid the rate charged to the land lease community operator by the electricity company, she should have paid around $10 for the month. NSW Labor said this particular case, as well as others across the state, has been raised with the Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean MP, but the Government is yet to take action. Mrs Catley gave notice of a bill that will make electricity pricing fairer by limiting the amount land lease community operators can charge residents. The bill will ensure operators cannot charge a home owner for the use of electricity at a rate that exceeds the maximum rate payable

Candidate for Tweed Craig Elliot and Yasmin Catley MP met with Tweed residents at the South Tweed Sports Club to hear about their experiences living in residential land lease communities.

by the operator to the utility service provider. NSW Labor has also announced a dedicated ombudsman service for residential land lease home owners and retirement village residents to assist in resolving complex disputes. A dedicated ombudsman will reduce the number of cases being heard in the New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal and will provide residents with a clear and simple complaint mechanism.

“These operators are skimming off the top and making a buck out of people living in residential land lease communities. This is not fair and a Labor government will end this practice,” Ms Catley said. “ T h e B e re j i k l i a n - B a r i l a ro Government has heard the problems of home owners and has done nothing to reduce electricity pricing in these communities. NSW Labor will make fairer electricity pricing law.”

Mr Elliot said a NSW Labor Government will make electricity pricing fair for residential land lease community home owners across the Tweed electorate. “Many home owners in land lease communities here in Tweed are on fixed incomes and every dollar makes a difference, which is why NSW Labor will change the law to make electricity pricing in these communities fairer,” he said.

Holding with Shot Judy Tuckey With the end of a super action-packed year looming, what better way to conclude activities on the green than a friendly challenge with the Banana Benders from over the border and that is exactly what occurred. Zone One hierarchy had previously collaborated with Gold Coast District and generated an annual Five-a-Side competition incorporating five disciplines covering three different age groups plus an Open and Arm Bowlers team. This year ladies from Tweed Byron, Northern Rivers and Clarence River Districts were invited to join in the competition with a squad of 25 players to do battle with the Gold Coast ladies. Host for this year’s clash, South Tweed BC, turned on perfect weather and a grand day was enjoyed by all. Whilst the men from Zone One were unlucky not to claim the victory they desired, the women’s squad

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals notched up a draw against a tough Queensland squad that included a handy sprinkling of State rep. players. On a programme of Fours, Singles, Triples and Singles, the ladies won two Singles games, and again in the Fours collected another two wins. Very close scoring in the Pairs resulted in only one win, but in the Triples the ladies came to the fore and won all five games. An absolutely grand performance from all the Zone One ladies. At the conclusion of a successful day for the ladies Tweed Byron’s Alana Sharp, Kim Keevers and Lyn Sheppard were named as the Best Individual Discipline Winner. In the Best Discipline Performance category Northern Rivers’ Maureen Peart, Greta Orchard, Gloria Martin with Tweed Byron’s Maureen James took out the Fours best team and Amanda Marron and Gail Marczan top scored in the Pairs. Plans are now underway for next year’s Challenge to take place in the Tweed Byron District. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Sunday: The final of the mixed pairs was played in hot and windy conditions between Kim Keevers & Jeff McDonald vs Wayne Powell & Caroline Caine. Kim & Jeff won the game 24 to 11. However Wayne & Caroline were very unlucky missing several up shots by millimetres. The point score leaders at the moment are Jim Jenkins 35, Bill Clifford 34, Ken Hall 32.

Kershler and McCloy in bowling blitz while Fresen shines for Murwillumbah IN THE first day of round four in the LJ Hooker League on Saturday, November 1 Cudgen played Casino at Reg Dalton Oval. Cudgen won the toss and James Julius and Tim Spencer opened the bowling with Spencer taking two wickets early then Julius took 3/53. Captain Jamie Wilson said that Anthony Kershler got 3/10 and “really controlled the game and strangled them out of it”. “They were all out for 153,” he said. “We made a good start in the batting but then we lost Heath Wilson for 6 so we closed the day’s play at 1/31 so hopefully we will get them next week.”

Caleb Ziebell was not out with 24 runs on the board going into next week’s game. Pottsville travelled to Lismore to play Marist Brothers Lismore who won the toss and batted first but probably wished they didn’t with Ryan McCloy single handedly almost bowling the whole team out taking 7/88 and being named Pottsville Pelican of the Week. Sabah Syed mopped up the leftovers taking 3/50 but in between the Lismore side managed to score 266 runs so are still a threat going into next week. Mitch Tripp made his first-grade club debut so congratulations Mitch and we look forward to great things from you - no pressure at all. Oliver Bone and Dan Thoms only got a couple of runs in each before play ended.

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC - Keith Kennedy OUR KINGSCLIFF girl, Stephanie Gilmore is to be congratulated on achieving her seventh World Surfing Title. As a member of our nippers she won the 9 year point score in 1996-97. Her father, Jeff, was the FNC Branch Cadet Surf Champion in 1968 and Junior Surf Belt Champion the following year. The Club has had an amazing number of members who have excelled in other sports. They have represented Australia in Age and Open Sport disciplines in 14 different categories, or won Australian or World Titles. Some of these names have been used in trivia questions e.g. this week.

Murwillumbah had a bye.

Coastal League

In Round 9 of the Coastal League Cudgen had a bye. Pottsville played Murwillumbah at Rabjones Oval with Pottsville winning the toss and batting first. Troy Thoms opened with Asitha Koralage and scored 55 runs. Aaron Haasart was 69 not out. Pottsville ran out of balls with 5/278. Liam Everest took two wickets for Murwillumbah while Kade Hill and Joel Antonelli took one. In reply Murwillumbah were all out for 252, with Bronson Fresen taking 5/28, Oscar Van Megchelen and Jack Corliss taking two each and Brendan Downham taking one. No batting breakdown was available for Murwillumbah.

Next weekend the Far North Coast Branch team will contest the NSW Inter-Branch Championships at Blackhead which is between Taree Old Bar and Forster. The team had a training session at our beach last Saturday. There are six country branches with a total of 48 clubs with the five City having 81 Clubs. A Country Team will be selected to contest the Inter-State Titles at Newport on 25th January, and also the Tri-series against New Zealand and Central Coast Branch. Because of Branch training on Saturday our only competitor at Kirra Oceans 38 Carnival was Paige Leishman who was third in the U17 Female Ski and a finalist in the Open. Last Sunday Club members provided the water safety for the Kingscliff Tri-athlon with a team of 25 members with rescue craft protecting 1,200 swimmers. Our Junior Members competed in the teams carnival at Byron Bay last Sunday with good results. Our two nominees for the Branch Junior Life Saver of the Year faced the judges at the carnival. Sienna Lee for the girls

eight overs and David Parkes took 1/15 off eight overs. Steven Harris top scored for Terranora with 47 while David Parkes scored 38.

and Sven Loemker for the boys in which he was successful and will represent the Branch early next year in the final. Previously Mariki Watego won the State in 2005 and Kaitlan Smith in 2009.

Sailing on the Tweed, 3 heat of Sprint series A REDUCED fleet set sail at Fingal on Sunday, due to many boats and crews being away competing in Corsair State Championship regatta at Lake Cootharaba, north of Noosa. Tweed River 16ft three-handed Corsairs, were represented with two boats and three single-handers. Our club performed very well with Corsair “Swell Lady” (Monique Smith, Matt Andrews and Deb Flannery) winning the State Championship, ahead of another Tweed Corsair “Odin” (Daniel Sieders Adrian Dokter Matt) getting second. Racing was very intense between these two boats, with Swell Lady winning five of the six races. The Tweed crew of “Swell Lady” are now hot prospects of winning the Australian Corsair Championships. Back on the Tweed, 10 boats and 21 crew contested the 3rd and final races of the Summer sprint series, consisting of three short course races. Conditions were testing on the river with a hot gusty northerly blowing, which challenged the crews. Todays fleet consisted of four 16ft Corsairs, and a 16ft Harpoon in the three-handed heavy-weight division, two NS14s in the two-handed division and two single-handed Olympic class Lasers. At the front it was a three-boat race, between two Lasers, and one Aussie designed NS14. (Northbridge Senior)

Top boat today was Laser “Siesta” Gary McCrohan getting two firsts and a second. Pushing Gary very hard all day was second placed Laser “Vickie 2“(Maurie Meyer) scoring 1st, 2nd and 2nd while third went to NS14 “On & Off “(Dave Robinson and son Hugh) 3rd, 2nd and 3rd. Maurie might have managed two wins today but for a spectacular capsize in the second race, while Dave and Hugh in the NS14 also had their share of misfortune, hooking up a rounding mark and towing it 100 metres up the river, as well as several capsizes, Hugh said it was a tough, bruising day! Mean while in the Corsairs, a very close battle was being fought, but surprise top boat today was new comers Michael and Liz Grace sailing their new boat, “One too Many” with ring in crew Nicholas Taylor. Obviously, Nicholas is a very good sailor as he led the team to score 1st, DNF (did not finish) and 1st, a disastrous capsize ended their second race. Next fastest in the Corsairs was “Melita 3” (Alison Blatcher, Christine Martin and Igor Prado) 2nd, 1st & 3rd, and third place went to “Capers” (Andrew Jaggers, David Berg and Tara Beth) 3rd, 2nd and 3rd It was a tough day for top Corsair “Keenas”, with skipper Mark Reynolds missing his gun sheet hand Craig Foley who was away sailing at Southport.

seemed to have his mind on compliance issues and not on sailing, and took an unusual 4th place. New boat in the fleet a Harpoon 5.2M sailed very close to the Corsairs and was only beaten in one race by two seconds. Next Race is on December 16 and is the last of the year. The sailing club is expecting

a big and highly competitive fleet to contest the 2nd Heat of the North Coast Corsair Championship. Racing is expected to be intense. With a flooding spring tide forecast, crews will be hoping for a stiff Southerly. All are welcome to come down to Fingal and enjoy the race and the ambience on the river bank.

Tapped in to the waves

With Terry Tappa’ Teece

WELL IT comes down again to the Pipeline Masters, and three surfers who can win the World Title. The waiting period commences at 4am on Sunday morning and the forecast looks like it will be go. Two Brazillians, one Aussie, two former Pipe Masters, one with average form at Pipeline - it’s going to be exciting to watch.

All these questions and more will be answered over the coming few days. Many of us would love to see Wilson win a world title. He is deserving, has a great style, is a humble man, and a damn good bloke. I hope he does it, but in the end it all comes down to funky cold Medina…. I can see voodoo dolls breaking out everywhere!!

If Gabriel Medina finishes 1st or 2nd at Pipeline he wins the World Title. -If Gabriel Medina places 3rd at Pipeline, Julian Wilson and Filipe Toledo will need a 1st to win the World Title. -If Gabriel Medina finishes 5th or worse at Pipeline, Julian Wilson and Filipe Toledo will need to make the final to win the World Title. So the possibilities are there that Julian Wilson, having won Pipeline before can do it, but will have to rely on Medina, who has a great track record at Pipeline to fail and then have to win or at least make the final. There will be plenty of people out there death-riding Medina, and more often then not, Medina eats the pressure for breakfast. Filipe Toledo, on the other hand, has not been know to perform at Pipeline but with a great performance at Teaupoo in Tahiti after losing a back full of skin practising, will he have the kahuna’s to perform at Pipe?

The World Cup of Surfing at Sunset beach has been on hold for the past few days but should be underway or maybe even wrapped up by the time this hits the streets. Joel Parkinson has been looking strong, and is chasing down his third Triple Crown of Surfing. A good result here could almost wrap it up for Parko. Also there are the battles to qualify for the 2019 WSL Championship Tour. Jack Freestone is knocking on the door of qualification, and needs a good result here to cement a spot on the tour. The surfer that will be sweating is North Stradbroke Island surfer Ethan Ewing who has been eliminated from the Vans World Cup and is currently sitting in 10th place, the last spot and if overtaken will have to endure another year trying to qualify. Once again this will be agony and ecstasy to watch, competition starting again around 3am Thursday, with the event finishing more than likely on Friday our time.

Gabriel Medina is in the box seat.
