Truck-stop plan riles residents Murray Simpson

The residents of the sleepy bywater of Chinderah have woken to find a full-blown 24-hour highway truck stop about to be plonked in their midst – and they’re hopping mad.

Outspoken caravan park resident Lynda Mack has accused the Tweed Shire Council of deliberately suppressing information about the true nature of an industrial development in Ozone Street.

She says an innocent-looking development application (DA) has been lodged with the council to create a public road and acoustic fencing to service a four-lot industrial subdivision in Ozone Street.

But she says the council threw a smokescreen over what was really in the wind for at least one of the industrial lots – a 24-hour BP highway service centre for north-bound traffic to mirror one already built on the southbound side at Kingscliff.

The cat was let out of the bag last week when the Roads and Traffic Authority confirmed in a letter to the council general manager Mike Rayner that a highway service centre had been planned for the site for at least six years.

Strategic site since 2005 RTA regional manager David Bell said the locality had been identified as a strategic site for a highway service centre in a study completed in 2005.

‘The Far North Coast Regional Strategy considers it a suitable location and consistent with the RTA’s function of promoting road safety through fatigue management,’ said Mr Bell.

The RTA was responding to a request to attend a workshop at the council last week to discuss the subdivision.

The RTA declined to send a representative to the workshop which turned out to be a rowdy affair attended by a number of Chinderah residents and chaired by mayor Kevin Skinner.

Ms Mack, the president of the Tweed Heri-

tage Caravan Park Residents Association, said she ran into an information brick wall while investigating an earlier DA for Ozone Street.

That DA, filed in 2009 by Planit Consultancy of Kingscliff for developers Wareema Pty Ltd, sought to concrete over an old cane drain/ water­way that ran down the notional ‘paper’ road known as Ozone Street to give access to the industrial site. The road ran past the caravan park and residents objected to the truck traffic it would generate and pointed out the cane drain/waterway had become a significant fish habitat.

A public outcry forced the council to review the DA and an amended DA was lodged in May last year proposing a new access road running past the neighbouring Royal Pacific Caravan Park.

Ms Mack, a retired mortgage broker, said she went to the council offices to inspect the earlier DA. ‘To my surprise I noticed the correspondence attached to the DA referred to a highway service centre planned for Lot 1 of the subdivision.

‘The council officer confirmed it had been spoken of for some time.

‘I asked for photocopies of the correspondence, among other material.

‘We waited hours for it to come back – but when we got home we found that correspondence had not been photocopied.

‘I rang the council the next day and they agreed to let me look at the DA paperwork again.

‘But this time the correspondence relating to the service centre had gone and was replaced with clean white photocopied paper – not the yellowing paper there was before.

‘This time the council denied the earlier correspondence existed.’

The Tweed Heritage residents have been joined by Royal Pacific park residents and adjoining neighbours who are horrified to discover their quiet streets are to play host to all-night highway truck traffic.

Coal gas titles cover half the shire Murray Simpson

Nearly half the Tweed Shire is earmarked for coal seam gas exploration with enthusiastic support appearing to be provided by the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI).

An exploration title has already been granted to PNG Gas covering the western corner of the shire and spilling over into Kyogle and Lismore shires.

An application was also made six months ago by Macquarie Energy for a petroleum prospecting licence, which is a desktop study only.

But NSW DPI directed them to withdraw the application and progress directly to applying for a exploration licence.

Greens councillor Katie Milne said she had informal talks with Macquarie Energy and a company representative expressed surprise at the department’s attitude in wanting Macquarie to go straight into on-the-ground test drilling.

Cr Milne said the Macquarie representative was under the impression the department was keen for the company to show commitment to exploration.

Macquarie Energy declined to comment further yesterday.

The company, a subsidiary of the Macquarie Bank conglom-

Fears grow over coal seam drilling The NSW state elections next month will be the target of a growing chorus of community concern about coal seam gas exploration.

A broad spectrum of opposition from farmers to environmentalists has banded together under the banner of the Lock the Gate Alliance (http://lockthegate.org.au).

The Alliance will use the election to voice alarm at the threat posed by coal seam gas exploration to the environment and the slap-dash application by government regulations.

High on the agenda is the use of hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, during the exploration process in which highly toxic and carcinogenic subtances such as Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and

Xylene – the BTEX chemicals – are used.

Last year the rich farming region round Kingaroy in south Queensland became the focus of national attention when traces of benzene and toluene were found in nearby groundwater forcing the suspension of activities at the Cougar Energy pilot coal gasification plant.

Disciplinary action was taken against one government employee for failing to notify the public.

In the Tweed Valley, it is understood no explicit permission has been granted to current exploration title holder PNG Gas, or to title applicant Macquarie Energy, to use fracking, but that situation could change.

In northern NSW two

companies are actively drilling – Arrow Energy and Red Sky Energy.

Arrow, wholly owned by Shell and PetroChina, holds petroleum exploration licence (PEL) 445, which runs in a horseshoe shape from west of Casino and north of Lismore down to Evans Head.

Red Sky Energy is a small Perth-based public company active in NSW, Queensland and the Northern Territory.

It conducted an exploration program at South Grafton and Bungawalbyn Creek in 1998, 2001 and 2004. It currently holds exploration permits for several PELs between Casino and Grafton through a ‘tie-in’ with Clarence Moreton Resources.

Neither has specific approval to use fracking.

erate, has two title applications, dubbed PELA 133 and 134.

Between them, the PNG and Macquarie licences cover all the region west of Mt Warning and include the Mebbin, Wollumbin and Limpinwood national parks.

Cr Milne said Macquarie had identified two significant seams in the region – the Ipswich seam that runs near Nimbin and Kyogle and the

Nymboida seam which is still being charted.

Cr Milne says it’s important to note that under the Petroleum Act, national parks are excluded from exploration so are excluded from exploration title.

Macquarie’s latest application, lodged just before Christmas, is expected to be assessed in three to six months.

Cr Milne said the assessment

would be done by the environmental arm of the DPI, rather than NSW Department for the Environment, Climate Change and Water.

She said Macquarie’s initial drilling would be one to 12 holes 4.5 inches in diameter and up to 1,000 metres deep.

There are unconfirmed reports that test drilling has begun on a farm near Tyalgum Creek.

Council snubs Cabarita park meeting Luis Feliu

Tweed Shire Council has come under fire for ignoring residents’ concerns after senior council staff failed to show up to a recent public meeting over the controversial Cabarita beachfront caravan-park proposal despite being invited to attend.

The Cabarita Residents Association says council is failing to adequately consult with residents, but council says it didn’t want a bar of any ‘protest’ meeting, an accusation strenuously denied by association president Cath Lynch.

The meeting last week drew a packed house of around 400 people to the Cabarita Sports Club and according to Mrs Lynch was organised as a community information session and billed as such on printed flyers distributed throughout the village before the meeting.

‘After council commented that it was a “protest” meeting, we changed our website to “community information meeting” to give the people the facts and that’s why we invited them in the first place,’ she told The Echo.

Council general manager Mike Rayner said council officers ‘chose not to attend the residents association forum… because it had essentially been organised and advertised as a protest meeting, not an infor-

mation forum where all sides of the discussion are given equal weight’.

Mr Rayner said staff were given only a few days’ notice of the meeting ‘even though a website had been promoting the “protest rally” as early as late last year’, but Mrs Lynch rejected that, saying she wrote to council and councillors on January 21, ten days before the meeting, to notify them.

‘Even back in November, they talked to us about forming a community consultative group and have done nothing about that.’

‘Not effective’ Mr Rayner said council’s ‘community engagement’ strategy did not recommend public meetings on major issues because they were ‘not the most effective way to inform and involve the community’.

But he said it did not ‘advise against’ council officers attending such meetings.

The consultation strategy will again be put to the test this Monday, February 14, when another public meeting is schedule to be held at the Cabarita Sports Club, and council officers are openly invited to address the meeting.

Mrs Lynch said the local business chamber had also been invited to join the residents group at last month’s meeting but had

declined and are also openly invited to attend the next one.

The NSW Land and Property Development Authority (LPMA) and the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserve Trust have jointly proposed the caravan park on Crown land east of the Coast Road south of Norries Headland for up to 230 sites as well as a housing subdivision across the road.

Mrs Lynch said the holiday park on an 8.3 hectare site had come as a shock and disappointment as locals had been fighting the development since 1998 and council was fully aware of that opposition. The residential Sandalwood Estate project, for 37 homes and ‘additional townhouses’ on two sites covering around five hectares, is to be managed by the LPMA and is adjacent to an existing residential estate at the entrance to Sandalwood Avenue.

Meanwhile the trust and LPMA issued a press release in response to the meeting, with the trust’s executive manager Richard Adams saying that some of the information given to the public was wrong.

Mr Adams said council was not both developer and consent authority as the trust was the developer and the state-appointed regional planning panel would be the consent body.

He also said the proposed park was not opposite the Left: One of the 304 cane toads eventually caught makes a short-lived escape from Trinity Connor’s net as her sister Avery and Harmony Johnson look on. More than 25 residents spent an hour capturing the agile vermin around the Sugar Glider Reserve in Koala Beach, Pottsville last Thursday evening.

The next muster will take place at Knox Park, Murwillumbah on Thursday, March 3, at 7pm. Participants are asked to bring their own torch and wear suitable clothing to protect them from insects.

school but 130 metres to the south ‘and further separated by the main road and generous buffer areas’.

‘The idea that parents need to be concerned for their children’s welfare should the development go ahead is absurd,’ he said.

The onsite shop also would be a small kiosk to provide basic needs for park residents and would not ‘lock up’ an economic benefit within the park.

‘Quality homes’ LPMA Crown lands division general manager Graham Harding said the ‘inference that the proposed Sandalwood housing estate would attract low income earners is completely incorrect’ as it would ‘provide quality homes and townhouses’.

‘It proposes a medium density estate with a restriction of three storeys that fits in with the council’s planning for the area,’ Mr Harding said.

Bad law blamed for bad development

Dear Mr Product Tester, I love reading about all your adventures, you seem like a bloke who knows his stuff.

Can you help me? Valentines Day is coming up I want to do something special for my special girl. Got any ideas?

Murray Simpson

Yours, Derek Dear Derek, You’re right on the money with this one mate. If you do Valentines Day the rest of the year will be a breeze.

How about a romantic picnic at Natural Bridge? First of all you need to buy a cute picnic basket (maybe a wicker one, old fashioned like, real romantic!) Show her you’re a Sensitive New Age Guy. You can buy one at Outdoorism.

Then take it to one of the local delis (that’s what I always do) – there’s a few good ones around town – and get them to pack a really excellent picnic, you know, all the good cheeses and pate etc, oh and a bottle of wine (NOT BEER!). DON’T, I say DON’T, get snags and a bread roll, big mistake. Girls like all that fancy stuff. I guarantee you do this well and your life will be sweet. If things go as well as they should you’ll still be there when night falls and you’ll be able to take a nice romantic stroll to see the glow worms wink!

Wink! This always works for me!

Good luck mate!

Your mate Tony

A Hastings Point housing development has drawn the wrath of the Greens Party who say it would never have seen the light of day had it not been for the controversial ‘developer friendly’ part 3A of the NSW Planning Act. Under part 3A the minister can approve any development anywhere in the state regardless of the local planning laws or its local impact, said Greens MP David Shoebridge during a visit to the Tweed last week.

Mr Shoebridge met concerned locals on the site of the 70-lot development at the mouth of the estuary with Tweed Greens candidate Andrea Vickers on Friday.

‘The Tweed Shire Council is strongly opposed to this development on the estuarine flood plain and for good reason,’ said Mr Shoebridge.

‘It blocks natural water flows, threatens neighbouring properties with inundation and threatens local mangroves and salt bush.

‘This is another example of the damaging effects of part 3A on local communities across NSW. ‘The law, and the minister, must both go.’

The Hasting Point project has been the source of ongoing controversy including

unauthorised bulldozing and fencing of access to the estuary by Brisbane developer Walter Elliot.

Andrea Vickers said coastal estuaries and wetlands were part of what makes the Tweed

special. ‘It’s terrible to think that the minister, sheltered down in Macquarie Street, could order its destruction without ever having seen the place.

‘It’s clearly inappropriate to site 70 houses right in the

mouth of an estuary where they face the constant threat of flooding.

‘Hasn’t our state government learnt anything from the events in Queensland and northern NSW?’

Film opens eyes to ‘fracking’ nate not just local aquifers, but the Great Artesian Basin,’ Ms Vickers said.

‘Whether or not the toxic chemicals which have been forced into aquifers in the US are used here, rupturing the rock can cause contamination by methane and carcinogenic compounds found in coal seams. Are we really prepared to take this risk?’

Ms Vickers says the Greens are keeping their eye on applications for exploratory drilling licences in the Tweed area (see stories page 2) and calling for a moratorium on exploration until ‘Fracking is an extremely serious threat to our such a time as fracking can be proved to be safe.

‘There’s just too much at stake not to take a food security and water security. There’s a real risk that fracking in Australia could contami- precautionary approach on this one,’ she said.

Now replacement councillor quits Aboriginal advisory group plaints against Cr Milne and Joan van Lieshout as evidence of misuse of the council’s complaints handling process.

Cr van Lieshout failed in a bid at the last meeting to hold a workshop with councillors and staff to discuss the future role of the AAC ‘in representing a fair and true perspective in its relevance in advice to council on Aboriginal matters’.

Only Crs Polglase and Phil Youngblutt backed her.

Luis Feliu and Ken Sapwell

Tweed Shire Council’s Aboriginal Advisory Committee (AAC) remains mired in controversy more than six months after Greens councillor Katie Milne was axed as a delegate.

In a new twist to the curious saga, Cr Milne’s replacement on the AAC, Joan van Lieshout (pictured, right), has now quit in protest over the way Cr Milne was removed.

In doing so she provided an explanation to AAC members which sheds a more illuminating light than the official version given for Cr Milne’s removal.

BUTCHERY

‘Made to cry’ Cr van Lieshout told them she supported a push to dump Cr Milne after another AAC delegate, Dot Holdom, told her that she had to go because she was upsetting members over development issues so much that some of them were made to cry.

‘I decided I needed to put the record straight – partly because members couldn’t understand why the council voted to remove her and partly because some thought I was behind her removal,’ Cr van Lieshout said.

Her surprise resignation cleared the way for a contest for the vacant spot between Cr Milne and Mayor Kevin Skinner at the last council meeting, which Cr Skinner won in a 4-3 vote with the support of Crs Holdom, Polglase and Phil Youngblutt.

Mystery move Cr Milne’s sacking has been shrouded in mystery ever since it was initiated in a mayoral minute by then mayor Warren Polglase last May. Cr Polglase suggested a shake-up was necessary because the AAC was dysfunctional, but refused to give reasons to explain how Cr Milne’s sacking could get it back on track.

The move surprised many AAC members who believed they enjoyed a good working relationship with Cr Milne who was appointed a delegate when the new council was elected.

They also took exception to the wording of the mayoral minute, forcing Cr Polglase at a subsequent council meeting to retract and apologise for reasons he initially gave for the surprise shake-up.

Cr Polglase acknowledged that his claim that the AAC was ‘not performing in a way that can deliver council’s ob-

on the AAC’s request, stating in a brief report to council that ‘it would be inappropriate to take any action outside of the planning process.’

Cr Milne later admitted to alerting the AAC to the fact that the original plans involved concreting over a waterway which the Aboriginal community saw as a valu-

Holdom denies comment Cr Holdom (pictured, right) has denied ever making the comment about Cr Milne ‘upsetting the Aborigines’, saying she was concerned ‘as to why Cr van Lieshout is fixated with dragging in the AAC community members’.

‘I never said that to her, she quite possibly got the horse by the tail, she’s obviously mixed up about it and I can’t explain it’, she told The Echo.

‘Katie and I have moved on.

The AAC has moved on. Why does Cr van Lieshout continue to have a groundhog day? It was not me that refused to read the Aboriginal statement – and that is what started all of this I believe,’ she said, referring to Cr van Lieshout’s rejection at a meeting in her previous role as mayor to read out the Aboriginal welcome statement.

‘I am left very concerned as to why Cr van Lieshout is fixated with dragging in the AAC community members… I don’t want to get into a public slanging match here, I don’t want to feed another person’s personal belief as to how they view the world.’

jectives’ was incorrect, and that ‘in retrospect, the mayoral minute should have been written differently.’

But he declined to elaborate on the council’s decision to terminate Cr Milne’s appointment, saying only the decision was made ‘democratically at a council meeting by councillors.’

Cr Milne’s sacking occurred on the same night that the council vetoed an AAC submission objecting to the proposed industrial subdivision at Chinderah (see story, page 1) and asking that its concerns be passed onto the relevant minister.

The council acted after senior executives put the kybosh

Cr Milne says she suspects she’s been targeted for talking about a handful of projects which she believed were of direct concern to AAC members.

‘I have never to my knowledge made anyone cry and I haven’t discussed any more than half a dozen development issues with the AAC in the two years since I was appointed,’ she’s said previously.

‘In each case they’ve had the potential to impact significantly on cultural and heritage matters which are of interest to the committee.’

Residents on watch after vandals target Tyalgum Kate McIntosh

Tyalgum residents are taking a stand after the local school and businesses were targeted by vandals.

Concerned residents have organised a public meeting, with the hope of starting a Neighbourhood Watch group in the community.

Tonight’s meeting (Thursday, February 10) follows a series of incidents in the small village following a party at Tyalgum Hall on January 15, which attracted up to 100 youths.

One of the meeting’s organisers, Bruce Bartrim, said things had apparently turned rowdy during the night, with school buildings graffitied and

a public telephone vandalised.

There was also damage to a local gallery and garage in Coolman Street, which had two of its windows smashed.

The following night at least five trees at the town’s memorial park were deliberately snapped off at the trunk, Mr Bartrim said.

That same night, locals reported seeing cars with Pplates congregated outside Tyalgum Public School.

Mr Bartrim, who has lived in the village all his life, says while vandalism doesn’t appear to be increasing, there have been recurring incidents.

‘I wouldn’t say it’s on the increase, but it does evolve in cycles,’ he said.

‘These days with communications, it’s very easy for the young ones to find out what’s happening and just rock up.’

He says it is hoped that by establishing a Neighbourhood Watch group the situation can be prevented from escalating further.

‘It’s about learning what the general person off the street can do. We just want to know where we stand, so we can hopefully keep things monitored,’ he said.

Member for Lismore, Thomas George, and Tweed Police Inspector Greg Jago are also expected to attend the meeting today at Tyalgum Hall. The meeting starts at 7pm.

Kids carwash nets $20,000 for flood victims

When a group of young Casuarina residents came up with the idea of a carwash to help raise funds for Queensland flood victims, they never imagined their efforts would result in a tally of more than $20,000.

After spending the day helping clear debris with floodaffected residents in Brisbane last month, Tarnya Sim said her sons Josh, 14, and Zac, 12, were inspired to do more.

Ms Sim said her sons had initially been reluctant to volunteer and had even asked if they would be paid for their time.

But she says their attitude changed after seeing first-hand the scale of devastation.

‘Being there in the thick of it

really moved them out of their comfort zone,’ she said.

The boys teamed up with four other friends to organise the carwash, with local businesses also lending their support. They were joined by 30 kids on the day, aged between seven and 14, who helped wash 79 cars.

A Kingscliff fire truck also turned up to help with the hosedown held at Kamala Crescent beachside carpark on January 22.

Parents of the children involved and phone book publishers Local Directories agreed to match funds raised dollar-for-dollar, with the event raising $8,500.

That figure was boosted further after family friends from Sydney donated $10,000 after

being impressed by the children’s initiative.

After a final appeal via Facebook, friends and family who couldn’t be there on the day chipped in to bring the total to $21,000.

Ms Sim said the children were thrilled with the final figure after initially hoping to raise $2,000.

She said family friends decided to donate the $10,000 as a way of showing the children that their actions can make a difference.

‘I think a lot of kids feel unheard, like they can’t make a difference in their community, and in their world,’ he said.

‘Well, these kids had a vision. It started as a very small thing and it grew into a very big thing.’

Truck-stop plan riles residents (from page 1) Royal Pacific park owner Bob Caine claimed the council had run an orchestrated campaign to disguise the true nature of the subdivision so as ‘not to upset the natives’.

Mr Caine, who has run a <echowebsection=Local News>

vigorous campaign against the new access road proposal, said he just happened to stumble across a mention of the highway service centre buried in a council agenda of December 14 last year.

‘There was no consultation,’ said Mr Caine. ‘There were no notifications, no public discussion with adjoining landowners, businesses or residents of Chinderah. We stumbled on this information in the agenda’. www.tweedecho.com.au

Author opens up about love and dying Kate McIntosh

After being diagnosed with cancer five years ago Judith Lindsay was forced to confront the inevitability of her own mortality.

Searching for an outlet, she began channelling her emotions in writing throughout her treatment and recovery.

What began as a journal evolved into Judith’s first novel, Love in Dying.

Inspired by her own personal journey towards healing, the book examines the concepts of love, life and death through the eyes of central character Sarah who is dying of cancer.

‘It’s a fairly ordinary book, but it asks some pretty profound questions,’ the Murwillumbah resident says.

Judith concedes that its themes are confronting ones.

‘Most of us don’t really want to look very deeply at the prospect of dying,’ she said.

‘It’s not so much being frightened of death, but of wasting time.’

She says it often takes a life-threatening

often we go through life as a victim of circumstance.’

In what is another central theme in her book, Judith says that embracing all of life’s experiences – good and bad – can make for a more fulfilling life.

A vegetarian for the past 40 years, Judith is a strong advocate for alternative therapies and was involved in support groups for cancer sufferers long before her own diagnosis.

When faced with her own cancer battle, she also took a holistic approach, encompassing healing techniques for the mind, body and spirit.

Originally from London, Judith left to backpack around Europe and Asia, eventually settling in Australia.

Since then she has turned her hand to retail, audiology, alternative healing, and goat farming. Now in her 70s, Judith remains a regular visitor to India.

Judith Lindsay pictured by Jeff Dawson She describes writing the book as a caexperience for people to face up to the thartic experience and hopes it will help others gain new insight into their own lives. prospect of their own mortality.

‘It’s a how-to book, that doesn’t actually ‘We get trapped by the emotions of life.

Rather than grabbing them as lessons, tell you how-to,’ she said.

Demolition threat to club building staved off Luis Feliu

Bilambil Heights residents have called on Tweed Council to tear down a dangerous eyesore, the rundown and heavily vandalised former Terranora Lakes Country Club building, but the developers want to retain it for any future redevelopment on the site.

Locals fear vandalism and fires in the building posed a big

bined Neighbourhood Watch secretary and former Bilambil Heights resident Gordon Levenson said the derelict building should have been torn down years ago as it was an eyesore for the community and attracted vandals.

Caretaker and security appointed A full-time on-site caretaker and a security firm have been appointed to keep an eye over the derelict Terranora hilltop clubhouse and deter vandals.

The move followed a recent warning by council that it would demolish the building if found to be structurally unsound and follows a string of complaints by surrounding residents of vandalism.

An inspection by council staff revealed the building had been heavily vandalised with all windows broken and building materials stolen from the site as well as evidence of fires inside the building.

A council spokesman

safety risk but the developers have told council the building is structurally sound and they would like to keep the building’s shell to use as a community or sports centre when the housing estate is completed, which could be many years away given the history of the site.

A council spokesman said yesterday that a structural engineer’s certificate requested by council was yet to be provided.

Late last November, a latenight fire inside the old building sparked the outcry from surrounding residents that it should be torn down. Comwww.tweedecho.com.au

said ‘old furniture had been destroyed and strewn all through the building. Ceiling panels and carpet had all also been vandalised and was littering the area’.

Council had threatened a demolition order on the building in November unless a structural engineering certificate confirming its soundness was provided.

The owners have not yet provided such a certificate

by Wednesday this week. If it is provided, council would consider not issuing the order on the building, subject to it being ‘extensively’ cleaned up inside ‘of all the litter and broken building components’.

residential development are nearer to sealing a deal with two potential buyers lined up.

Brisbane property tycoon Godfrey Mantle won government approval for the residential development, called The Rise, on the 184-hectare site last July, and is hoping to sell to the highest bidder through an international tender process which closed in late November last year.

The flamboyant restaurant and hotel owner purchased most of the site from the receivers of the former pokie palace in 1995 for about $5 million

and according to real estate sources is now asking around $100 million.

Director of Ray White property group’s special projects in Queensland, Tony Williams, told The Echo this week that negotiations continued this week, with two potential buyers, one a Brisbane-based national company and the other an overseas investor.

Mr Williams declined to say what the asking price was.

The site is considered the best piece of real estate in the shire. It went on the market less than three months after Planning Minister Tony Kelly approved a concept plan for a $1.2 billion master-planned community commanding panoramic views to Byron Bay and the Gold Coast.

The approval allows the construction over the next 10 to 12 years of 1,604 new dwellings and a 200-bed aged-care facility as well as community facilities, a private school, commercial and retail outlets, and an arts college and arts precinct.

The decision to sell the landmark site comes after 15 years of ownership of the land by Terranora Group Management and a four-year planning and approvals process for The Rise development.

The approval by the planning minister added considerable value to the site.

Mr Mantle initially won Tweed council approval for an upmarket Sheraton-managed resort and 27-hole golf course but later ditched the concept, complaining that restrictions imposed by the council made it uneconomic.

He then sought government approval for The Rise development which originally included plans for building up to eight storeys high. But the high-rise component was knocked on

the head after Tweed planners said it was more in line with Gold Coast-style development than anything seen in the Tweed before.

Although it has been given the green light, Tweed council has warned it won’t allow the project to progress until a new road network to service the area is operational.

Attack on dressage pad shows council’s ‘incompetence’ Cr Katie Milne’s comment ‘unlike the Colbys the complaining farmers have been there forever’, causes me deep concern. Is it the case that longterm residents of the Tweed Shire receive more favourable treatment from council than new residents? n

Teea Hecksher

Kingscliff

At last the story of the dressage pad at Dungay has made it to The Echo (February 3), thus revealing even more Tweed Shire Council incompetence.

I have had a ringside seat to their disgraceful handling of this matter, ‘ringside’ being very appropriate. Backflips performed by council suggest to me that the general manager, Mr Rayner, would make a better circus performer than a CEO. Also Cr Skinner, who on December 14 voted not once but twice for council to take no further action in this matter, produced another of his now famous flip-flops on January 18 when he supported a motion to rescind the December decision.

Then there is Cr Milne who I thought represented the Greens Party, but after reading her ridiculous comments in the Fen

buary 3 article, I now suspect her of being at the forefront of some new interplanetary party for space cadets. Cr Milne has leapt to the defence of one of the complainants, a cane farmer who has lifted the height of an adjacent cane paddock bordering the creek. But why would he be concerned; contrary to the councillor’s irrelevant comment that the complaining farmers had ‘been there forever’, this cane farmer does not live there. What a strange decision-making process she has: 13 years’ residency doesn’t rate with ‘being there forever’, and the cane farmers supported her in a dispute that she was involved in before she became a councillor. Well, councillor, so did I. It sounds a lot like back scratching.

It should also be made known that all through the years of this dispute Cr Milne has made absolutely no attempt to seek out the Colbys’ position in this matter. It would seem that she, like others in council, have become pawns of the Cane Growers Association and the ‘Murwillumbah National Party Old Boys Club’.

I am active member of the Tweed Valley Equestrian Group (TVEG) and have lived near Dungay most of my life. I am offended by Cr Milne’s ill-informed comments that ‘dressage is not ancillary to an agricultural pursuit’.

What a waste of time and money by councillors, who seem to change their minds frequently, to convene a workshop – nothing more than window dressing to appease persons accusing the Colbys of creating ‘flooding’. Does council have anything impartial from the persons complaining to support their argument?

TVEG has approximately 80 members and runs four Olympic-level, locally-sponsored events each year to assist dressage enthusiasts like the Colbys to qualify for the state and national dressage championships.

These events are conducted at the Tweed River ‘Agricultural’ Showground. Practice requires a dressage arena to the same length and width due to the level of precision required.

Cr Milne, would you ask a race horse to run on a race track that runs down a hill? Would Jim Dwyer you ask a 50 metre sprinter Bilambil Heights to sprint on uneven ground? n

Would you ask a football player to play on a field that had potholes, a huge drop at one end, or a dip in the centre? I doubt it.

All the Colbys have done is create a great arena to ensure their horses live a long and injury-free life and to give them the best chance to achieve their goals at competition.

As for Cr Milne’s comment – ‘unlike the Colbys, the complaining farmers have been there forever’ – seems like the old saying is appropriate: ‘it’s not what you know, but who you know’.

I am writing in reference to your article about Darryl and Leanne Colby and the problems they are having with Tweed Shire Council.

It appears they obtained all the approval required, or not required in council’s case, to build the dressage pad from the Department of Water and Energy (state government).

How can council now backflip on their earlier decision, after two years?

This should send alarm bells ringing through our community. How legal are any deciAmanda Bartyn sions council makes if they can Dulguigan change their mind years later, n

causing financial stress and hardship to those involved?

This is not a good message to be sending to people who are thinking of settling here on the Tweed or even to those who have ‘been here forever’ wishing to improve their properties to suit their lifestyle.

It would be interesting to know if anyone else has had a similar experience with council backpedalling on a decision.

If our Council can’t be trusted to stand by their decisions then we need to think very carefully at the next election.

Cyclone Yasi has stripped the rainforest trees bare. Once the Cassowaries have eaten the fallen rainforest fruit, they will be forced to leave the forest in search of food. This could be disastrous for the already dwindling population.

In the aftermath of Cyclone Larry in 2006, a large number of Cassowaries were hit by vehicles or attacked by dogs once they left the forest. One-third of the Cassowary population died of starvation.

Please help to save this magnificent species. They are already threatened with extinction and it is estimated that only 1,000 remain in the wild.

Please donate now and help fund the food for these iconic rainforest birds. The food will be placed at remote feeding stations to ensure that the Cassowaries do not wander into town and get hit by cars.

We are also planting trees to provide essential Cassowary habitat and purchasing rainforest properties to ensure Cassowary habitat is protected.

Help feed the Cassowaries of Mission Beach in the aftermath of Cyclone Yasi. $25 will provide Cassowary food for one day and ensure the survival of this endangered species.

Rainforest Rescue is a local not-for-profit organisation committed to protecting rainforests forever. We create opportunities for individuals and businesses to support successful projects to protect and restore our rainforests. www.tweedecho.com.au

Our roads are a disgrace now so why not build roads that can take heavy rain conditions without damage; after all if you are going to jack up our rates by 30 per cent safe roads should be paramount.

Dam defies logic, advice, research and public opinion If Cr Skinner is not using the flood tragedy of the last month to support his case, then I would like to read another news article that is.

To say that a dam would save lives and prevent property damage is not only misleading and untrue; it is an irresponsible use of his public office. Cr Skinner well knows that his claims continue to defy logic, council advisory staff recommendations, scientific research and majority public opinion.

The outcomes of a commissioned enquiry in Queensland is yet to determine how effective the water authority was in playing God in its attempts to control nature with manufactured water releases. There is no evidence whatsoever at this stage, Mr Skinner, that dams are a solution to flood mitigation in certain events.

There is on the other hand evidence to support how such massive and costly engineering projects will alter entire ecosystems and place at further threat the unique biodiversity of the region.

Cr Skinner also refers to population forecasts for 2031 and ‘firm evidence…’ His statements are entirely inaccurate and untrue.

The forecast to which Cr Skinner refers are projections by state government in its Far North Coast Regional Strategy. The information and figures contained within remain unchallenged. This is despite overwhelming community feedback given to council during the recently developed Tweed Shire Community Strategic Plan on a range of environmental protection issues including alternative water saving options. n

Steve Tate

Stokers Siding The most damaging floods, the ones that change landscapes and destroy property, are the one in one hundred and one in fifty year very high rainfall events. During these relatively rare occasions, dams are of little consequence because of the huge volumes of water involved.

Witness the recent flooding of the Wivenhoe Dam catchment and beyond to Brisbane.

In mega events, releases are made to safeguard the dam, or the water soon reaches a level where it spills over the spillway.

The prudent course of action for Tweed Shire Council would be to heed the engineers’ advice and repair/ modify the spillway of the Doon Doon Dam. Dams are also subject to siltation and blue/green algae growths and are not the panacea for flood relief or water storage that some councillors seem to imagine. Above n

all they are extremely costly in dollar and environmental terms.

In an area of very high rainfall like the Caldera, the no-brainer option is to harvest roof and storm water for onsite and local precinct use.

Government rebates make rainwater tanks quite affordable and householders do not have to ingest chlorine or other harmful chemicals like sodium hypochlorite. Combined with onsite grey water treatment and household by-product composting and with appropriate landscaping and plantings, residents can partly free themselves from the shackles and shekels of council rates.

Water and sewerage consumes half of council’s budget. Half of your rate contributions.

The push for a dam on Byrrill Creek is all about making money for Tweed Shire Council (in the long term) and assisting the mega coastal developers in the short term.

But the biggest lesson of all for governments arising from the record-breaking and deadly weather events from around the world – blizzards, bushfires, floods and droughts in both the northern and southern hemispheres – is the need to immediately adopt radical strategies to tackle global warming.

Is it responsible for council to spend millions on unsustainable projects like new dams, beach replenishment, unnecessar y ‘beautification’ and unwanted high rise schemes when whole environmental and ecological systems are unravelling before our eyes?

Let’s look at some real facts from the Tweed Council’s own reports. The recommendations by council staff and the Community Working Group did not rank Byrrill Creek as a close second inline water option. It was the very last (third) option because of significant environmental impacts and the very real problems of escalating timeframe, costs and holdups through the legislative approval process.

I have no doubt this lobby will use the tragedy/destruction of the recent Queensland floods to push their cause at the state election.

Meet The s l a p i c Prin

Brad Davis has been Principal of Crystal Creek Primary for over two years. He began his teaching career teaching in Western NSW but has spent the last fifteen years raising his family and teaching in the Murwillumbah area.

Crystal Creek Primary prides itself on maintaining meaningful relationships with students, parents and staff. Students learn better when they are happy and feel safe. This is achieved through providing a positive learning environment based on mutual respect, kindness and fun.

Along with the extensive Literacy and Numeracy programs Crystal Creek Primary has a strong emphasis on technology, environmental and health and fitness projects. Students are being prepared for success, health and happiness into adulthood.

Living a healthy and active lifestyle and caring for our environment are infused into the culture of the school.

A focus on technology gives students the confidence and skills needed to become lifelong learners.

Stokers Siding Public School is 8km south of Murwillumbah. We have an excellent playing area, well resourced air conditioned classrooms, outstanding teaching staff, friendly administrative staff, enthusiastic students and supportive parents. Five teachers and two school learning support officers work with three classes. Our READING, WRITING and MATHS programs provide a sound basis for LIFELONG LEARNING. We focus on HEALTHY LIFESTYLES and ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS. INNOVATION in programs for DANCE, DRAMA, ART and MUSIC set us apart from other schools.

We have a state-of-the-art studio which is a space where for an hour a week students can direct their own learning! It is well equipped for art, science, computer, woodwork, games etc. Students keep journals of the work that they do each week and they aim to complete two pieces of high quality items for the end-of-year Creative Arts night. Our Motto: Small School Big Family.

Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School is the leading Preschool/ Kindergarten – Year 12 coeducational day school in northern New South Wales.

Located at Terranora, the school was the only in northern New South Wales to be ranked in the 2010 Australian newspaper’s top 100 Australian schools for its outstanding Years 7 and 9 NAPLAN literacy results, clearly acknowledging the school’s excellent academic standards and practices of all teaching staff and students.

Principal Mr Chris Duncan said, “Over the past 30 years, Lindisfarne has forged a strong reputation as being ‘the all rounder school’ where every student has the opportunity to achieve their own personal best in a wide range of academic, vocational, sporting, cultural, spiritual and co-curricular activities within a supportive and values rich learning environment.”

The school has recently embarked on a $4 million building program to expand its current Science, Library, Sporting and Performing Arts facilities to ensure that students have a state-of-the-art learning environment to assist in progressing towards their future career pathway.

Fingal Head Public School has a tradition of excellence in quality teaching and learning. There is a strong emphasis on fostering the development of all of our students.

We are a school that provides outstanding welfare programs to support learning opportunities.

The students at Fingal Head Public School display outstanding behaviour and show pride in themselves and their work. Our school philosophy, Celebrate Achievement, is strongly supported by the cooperative and dynamic atmosphere within the school.

It is with great pleasure that I commend the tireless dedication and tremendous work of our school staff. We are fortunate to have a team that is so strongly focused on supporting students to achieve the highest quality educational outcomes.

VIRGO: The long eared carrot cruncher’s year is considered a leisurely, restorative year for self stressing Virgos. Your natural talents of style, refinement, diplomacy and discretion will be valued, but take a note to self: If others aren’t interested in addressing their problems, why should you?

LIBRA: Rabbit avoids unpleasantness by withdrawing, and postpones disagreeable tasks as long as possible – sound familiar? Beauty loving, fashionable Bunnies love fluffing up, and this year prizes elegance, glamour and style, so if you need to look gorgeous on a budget who can do that better than you?

SCORPIO: Determined, sophisticated, inscrutable, ruthlessly charming, confident of its own abilities to get what it wants: Rabbit shares many Scorpionic qualities. Its year is about looking after your own and loved ones’ interests, so what magic rabbit will you produce out of this year’s existential hat?

SAGITTARIUS: Free ranging Rabbit’s quick-witted, articulate and resilient so even if this year sets a trap, you’ll talk your way out of getting stewed with prunes. Overall it’s a year for doing what makes your heart happy, and these small furry fornicators are notorious for...

CAPRICORN: The Metal element gives ol’ Floppy Ears an extra edge, and this year benefits from cautious, controlled, conservative handling of finances with success more likely if

others are rigorously assessed, fine print thoroughly scrutinised and life’s glitches and bitches approached in an organised, orderly way.

AQUARIUS: Clever Rabbit can talk itself into or out of most situations, intuitively avoiding harm to itself, something I know you’ll relate to. This year sees you popular as always, with a core group of family and friends to help you back to balance if you tilt off-centre.

PISCES: Beneath its endearing, cuddly exterior, wily Rabbit’s a resourceful survivor. Like you, the cunning cottontail’s adept at getting its own way by negotiating and if necessary manipulating. Clever at bending the rules, this imaginative Rabbit year helps you find creative ways around red tape and regulations.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm Australian number one Zhao Zong Yuan booked his ticket to the World Cup in Siberia in August by winning the Zonal in Rotorua in dominant fashion.

In nine rounds Zhao, 25, conceded only a single draw while winning his other eight games against the best players in the region. His task was made somewhat easier by the remarkable form of Canberra teenager Andrew Brown, who defeated seeds 2, 3 and 4 – Olympians GM David Smerdon, IM George Xie and IM Gary Lane.

Thanks to his final round victory over Smerdon, Brown ultimately finished outright second, a point and a half behind Zhao, and was awarded the International Master title for his performance.

In the Women’s Zonal, top seed IM Irina Berezina looked to be coasting to victory but a last round draw allowed Canberra 15-year-old Emma Guo to catch her on the line. As Oceania is only allowed one representative in the next Women’s World Cup, the two will be required to con-

test a playoff later in the year.

The following game was played in the final round in Rotorua.

Zhao already had the tournament wrapped up but shows no mercy.

Rotorua 2011 White: Z-Y Zhao Black: V Feldman Opening: Anti-Grunfeld 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.f3!? Feldman is a Grunfeld (3.Nc3 d5) expert so Zhao uses an old Korchnoi system designed to defuse 3...d5. Feldman is not to be discouraged. 3...d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nb6 6.Nc3 Bg7 7.Be3 0-0 8.f4 f5!?

8...Nc6 is far more common after which Zhao was intending to try the sharp line 9.d5 Na5 10.Bd4 e5 11.Bxe5 Bxe5 12.fxe5 Qh4+ 13.g3 Qe7 14.Qd4 Rd8 15.b4!? when Black’s only good move is 15...Nac4!. 9.e5 e6 Rather passive; 9...Be6 is standard. 10.Nf3 Nc6 11.Qb3 Ne7 12.Rc1 a5 13.a4 Nbd5 14.Nxd5 Nxd5 15.Bc4 b6 Given time for 16...Bb7 Black’s position would be fully satisfactory but Zhao gives his opponent no peace. 16.Bxd5! exd5 17.Kf2 Bb7 18.h4! h5 19.Qb5! Re8 Allowing a stunning breakthrough. 19...Rc8 was passive but necessary. 20.Rc6!! Suddenly Black cannot save his g pawn and his position becomes critical. 20...Bxc6 21.Qxc6 Qe7?! The only chance lay in 21...Rf8 when 22.Qxg6 Qe8! hangs on and 22.Ng5 Qe8 23.Qxd5+ Kh8 24.Rc1 Rd8 is ugly but not over. 22.Ng5 Bh6 23.Qxg6+ Qg7 24.Qxf5 Re7 25.Rh3 Rf8 26.Qd3 Bxg5 27.hxg5 c5 28.Rf3 Now White’s pawns are ready to roll forward and Black is helpless.

28...c4 29.Qc2 Qh7 30.g6 1-0

Just down the Laneway

Busting Out It’s the album that lead singer Mason Rack says breaks all the genre rules – a classic mix of heavy rock, blues, jazz and roots complemented by the modern flavours of country punk, jazz, alternative rock and reggae funk. Mason Rack Band is back – with a new look and the fresh and raucous studio album Limits of Grip.

Mason Rack Band pours out alt-rock tunes influenced by blues, southern stomp, swamp, rock and roots. Their music is a collection of rock and blues with flashes of Tom Waits and Jimi Hendrix, and roots extending to Ben Harper. Throw in a slide guitar, a rocking bluesy bass, massive drum percussion and the result is a spectacular kaleidoscope of musical genres. Originating from the Gold Coast, the Mason Rack Band is renowned for its amazing stage performances that have had punters kicking up their heels for years – mixed with an interactive percussion set that involves all three band members and the crowd. Mason Rack is a natural entertainer, blessed with a tapestry of slide guitar, wild ‘broken glass’ vocals and story-fuelled blues rock. Mason has played alongside

Six). Imagine Lindsey Buckingham and Gillian Welch meeting in a down-town pool hall, setting off on a road trip and stopping only for tea, oranges, creek swims and tequila; this journey of two guitars and voices heading out country has an immediate familiarity that jumps out at you on first listen, before the incredible depth of songwriting sinks in.

Most keen to share their sound with listeners in the flesh, Laneway have performed live across the east coast. They are no stranger to festivals. Winners of the Whittlesea Country Music Festival’s

Having worked alongside some of Australia’s premier musical artists, the dynamic duo Red Bantoo are bursting onto the Australian music scene with a star-studded debut. Collaborations over the years with the likes of Regurgitator, Resin Dogs and The Bird have seen Red Bantoo grace stages like the legendary Glastonbury Festival to our very own Big Day Out. Their debut album Yesterday to the Rescue is the latest gem, released through the always reliable Hydrofunk Records. A potent fusion of electronica, jazz and beat-driven, soulful tones, Red Bantoo are taking their captivating live show around the country on a string of album launch dates in the coming months. Producer Si Fixion aka Simon Durrington and keyboard maestro Dan Brown are the eclectic and boundary-pushing duo that is Red Bantoo. Over the years they have been garnering the attention of some Australian industry heavyweights including El Gusto of Hermitude and Dave Atkins of Wolfmother/Resin Dogs fame who have both worked on tracks from the album. In conjunction with such recognised talent, Red Bantoo have also enlisted a string of local artists

HIGH RENT LOW LIFE

Every

couple of weeks I’ll get an email or text from a friend looking for single accommodation. I got one from a good friend a few months ago informing me that her landlord had requested she vacate her studio

by Christmas. It’s not a good time to be without a crash pad – just ask Mary and Joseph.

My friend’s landlord was wanting to put the rent up by $100 per week. As a person on a minimum income this would have meant that as a single person she would have been paying $300 per week. Apart from smuggling in backpackers and subletting her linen press as bunk beds it wasn’t ever going to be possible for her to maintain that sort of rent.

Finding somewhere affordable to live in this region is like an extreme sport. For every rental advertised there are dozens of people lining up for a shot, armed with references, bank statements and affirmations that they hope give them an edge. It’s horrible to see people pitted against each other trying to prove their worth. We live in a tourist destination. Our housing prices are ridiculous, and thus so are our rents.

My partner and I are about to start building in the next six months. As a family with five kids, we’re looking at having to build a six-bedroom house. When we were drawing up the plans we thought, well, why not build a granny flat to offset the mortgage. It seemed like a winwin idea. We’d be providing affordable housing for someone in the community with a burning desire to live in the shadow of a large noisy family from toddler to teenagers while at the same time reducing our hefty re-payments.

While it’s now possible and encouraged to put a granny flat on your property, it turns out that the council contributions are prohibitive. It’s somewhere in the vicinity of $30,000 for what’s then seen as a ‘dual occupancy’.

So what’s the point? We’ll be financially disadvantaged more if we build a studio.

Consequently most of the shire’s single people are forking out $200 a week for the privilege of living in an airless garage. It’s pretty humiliating being 50 years old and living in a bedsit. Single lodgings, namely one-bedroom studios, are the highest-sought accommodation types.

There are people who haven’t partnered; there are people between partners; people with partners but who need their own space; people who’ve separated and have halved their income and have their kids two days a week; there are people who’ve tired of the endless headache of share housing; and people whose budgets just don’t stretch much past $200 per week.

Ironically there are plans afoot to turn the Brunswick Heads squash centre into, well, into another sort of squash centre: numerous one- and two-bedroom units. While I can see the need for affordable housing, shouldn’t it also be liveable? Wouldn’t it be a bit like a retirement village? If the council dropped its $30,000 contribution and encouraged new home builders and people dwelling on substantial blocks or properties to build attractive, safe, legal dwellings, then a huge part of our community would have their housing problem solved. In the meantime, I have a box in my backyard that I cover with a piece of tarp that’s available to rent at a bargain rate of $180 per week. No pets. No drinking. No smoking – you could set fire to the box. And I haven’t insured it because it’s not really legal.

The only catch is I need you to vacate for six weeks every Christmas while I let it as holiday accommodation for $2000/wk to a bunch of dickheads from Sydney. References required.

from the Byron Bay area to effectively create a showcase of local talent including vocalists Sonia Leeson and Shelly Hughes with Stuart Currie on the trombone and James Howard on saxophone. Created in the perfect beachside backdrop, Yesterday to the Rescue is an album made to chill to that still has a beat-driven heaviness.

Reminiscent of artists like St Germain and Mo Horizons, the handpicked vintage samples and crafty beats combine vibrant live elements for a modern, innovative and atmospheric sound. The first single from this very suave, down-tempo album is the appropriately titled Breeze. A soundtrack for summer with a distinctly reggae feel, this is no surprise considering the golden beaches of Byron Bay where the song was written.

KENITA’S DECORATIVE ARTS

The intertwining of human and animal form provide the inspiration for the next instalment in the ever-evolving art works of Fiona Kennedy-Altoft. Offspring will be exhibited alongside the 12 Degrees of Latitude exhibition at the Gold Coast Art Gallery in February. To share wall-space with the likes of well-known Australian artists such as Judy Watson, Gordon Bennett, Sidney Nolan and Margaret Olley among many others, Kennedy-Altoft has really come into her own. Offspring marries the well-known Australian native bird, the magpie, with her interpretations of family, juxtapositioning her role as a mother by assuming the identity of the magpie defending her ‘nest’, and playing out the mother/child relationship in new and exciting ways. The artist subjects – childhood, leaving the nest, socialising, domestic life with animals – all come alive creating a mischievous, skilful, crafted portrayal on canvas. This exhibition will be the eighth individual showing for Kennedy-Altoft who already has some very significant achievements under her belt such as residencies in Thailand and 19 Karen and over 40 appearances in group shows across regional Queensland, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. 12 Degrees of Latitude is the first exhibition to curate works specifically from Queensland’s regional art galleries and university collections and has been on tour throughout Queensland in 2009 and 2010. The exhibition will be on show at the Gold Coast Art Gallery Bundall Rd, Surfers Paradise from February 12 until April 3.

MR SPEA KER AT M T WARNIN G HOTEL SUNDAY UKI

jumping when their world tour of local venues sees the boys lob in at the Mt Warning Hotel. It’s their first trip to the Tweed hinterland (it’s a very small world they inhabit). Mr Speaker have been rapidly carving out a niche for themselves as purveyors of a rare style of swing and funk music that sees people cast aside previous conceptions of the genres and embrace the new sound with both feet. Throw in some blues, a touch of reggae and even some Latin – half a song’s worth – and it’s a recipe for some fine shenanigans. Scientific research proves that 127 people have met their future spouse on the dancefloor at a Mr Speaker gig. Will you be next? They play the Mt Warning Hotel in Uki on Sunday (and the Rails in Byron this Friday as well).

Oz Day: Chicks beat blokes

Catching Pink Flamingoes on the Tweed

A gremlin found its way into the computer of the Cabarita Beach Bowls Club’s record keeper, and last week The Echo was sent an innacurate final update result for the Australia Day event, so to set the record straight …

The Annual Australia Day Carnival at the Cabarita Beach Bowls Club attracted 32 men’s teams and 10 women’s teams who vied for total prize money of $2,000. Congratulations on their efforts for the day go to chicks Gwen Coustley and Clare Hill pictured, who were the overall winners from all the teams of this event with a score of 6 + 30; they were of course also the winners of the ladies’ section. Second place overall went to blokes Barry Venner and Ian Crabb who scored 6 + 29 and were winners of the men’s section. Congratulations also to Robyn Creedon and Valerie Dudley who were placed fourth overall with a score of 6 + 19.

My mate Richard Creighton came down from the Sunshine Coast with his boat on the weekend and we went crazy, heading to just about every bream spot we could think of.

We were both using exactly the same gear but for some reason Richard was catching an impressive amount of legal bream while I struggled to get a fish.

It came down to lure choice and my surface lure was an atomic hardz in ‘Ghost Gill’ colour, while Ric used a Berkley lure that looked like a miniature ‘Sammy’. The colour was the key as often our lures would land less than a metre apart; we were using the same retrieval but my lure went untouched while his yellow/red coloured lure got smashed time and time again.

The biggest fish were caught at a spot we call the ‘Pink Flamingo’ just down from PKG’s.

You have to check out the lure Dicky used, hanging out from the monster bream’s mouth. scliff. Draw for Saturday 12th February Silver play Jindalee at Kingscliff. Bronze play Cleveland at Cleveland.

Painters cut carbon emissions Consumers are being urged to use new heat-reflective coatings technology this summer to help cut carbon emissions. According to not-for-profit program GreenPainters, this technology should be considered as a way to to significantly increase building energy efficiency, by cutting cooling costs.

‘Nano-ceramic paint technology is one of the most significant advances in the coatings industry,’ says Daniel Wurm, GreenPainters Manager. ‘It means that we can cut cooling costs of a building by up to 0 per cent, simply by helping the building reflect solar radiation before it causes heat build-up inside. This results in lower airconditioning energy use, saving money and cutting carbon emissions.’

GreenPainters, a national

program for sustainability in the painting industry, has partnered with Astec Paints, a major Australian manufacturer of heatreflective coatings, to promote the new technology.

The coatings, which are applied to the exterior surfaces of a building, work by reflecting the infra-red wavelengths of solar radiation. According to GreenPainters, this property allows them to efficiently reflect heat regardless of the colour used.

‘Of course, lighter colours will always result in higher reflectance values, but these products also offer significant results when darker colours are used.

Specifiers who want the best results should try to choose lighter colours to achieve the highest reflective efficiency’, says Daniel.

‘It’s also important to choose a manufacturer who meets all the

other environmental considerations, such as manufacturing process and VOC levels.’

GreenPainters has helped developed a training course that educates painters to understand how the products work and the

A guided residents tour of the proposed site for a new and controversial caravan park south of Norries Headland at Bogangar/Cabarita was well attended with around 60 people enjoying the natural regeneration that has taken place there over the past years.

The Land and Property Management Authority and the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserves Trust insist, through a public-relations company, on telling us that the land is mostly a degraded sand-mining site anyway and the only good use for it is a caravan park. Well, the locals beg to differ; it’s a site to behold now, with all the native regrowth they saw there including stag horns, callitris pines and other rare and interesting plants, as well as animals such as the green sea turtle, glossy black cockatoo, swamp wallabies and goannas. The locals say that even the area where the local dunecare group has been refused permission to work in has regenerated, with many older large trees and a canopy forming in places.

Judging by the fierce response in the letters pages to a naive throwaway line by Greens Cr Katie Milne in one of our stories last week, she may need to choose her words a little more carefully in future. Cr Milne made a huge value judgement when telling The Echo that farmers who had ‘been there forever’ were somehow more knowledgeable about the land or environment than those who have more recently decided to take up farming life, which we all know is a simply not true. Are these lifelong farmers above reproach, Cr Milne? Have they ever not illegally cleared land or polluted waterways? We doubt it, but her comment did show she knows who to butter up for

Developer Bob Ell, the man behind the Tweed’s two biggest township sites of Kings Forest and Cobaki recently approved by the state government, has had his plans for a $12 million mansion in Cremorne (see Backburner, January 20) frustrated by the regional planning panel.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Ell’s company Leda Holdings has been told it cannot build a rooftop tennis court for its nine-bedroom house and must move a 40-metre inclinator away from the neighbour’s boundary. Planners for Leda had offered to change the plans but the court ruled they did not go far enough.

Grail Quest

Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the two year parttime foundation course.

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world.

The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.
