Casuarina centre to be built soon, developer says Murray Simpson

Nearly ten years of anguish for Casuarina residents may be over with the announcement this week that construction of the estate’s long-awaited town centre is about to start. Developer Don O’Rorke said the lengthy approval process had finally been completed clearing the way for work to begin some time in October. ‘I can put on the record that Consolidated Properties is proceding with the redevelopment of the town centre in calendar year 2011,’ he said. ‘We have already executed an agreement with Coles supermarket and all but one of the residential lots has been pre-sold.’

Divided community The start of construction will bring the curtain down on a protracted and bitter saga that has divided the Casuarina community. Residents had long complained that they had been promised a town centre when they bought in 2003 and it had been an important part of the marketing strategy of the estate, said residents association president Rob Bryant. ‘In fact we had some elderly residents who specifically bought close to the proposed town centre so they did not have far to walk to the shops,’ he said. ‘Instead for all those years we’ve had just a sandy wasteland in the heart of the development.’ Residents were upset at their last association meeting when a statement from the developer suggesting

the project could be delayed due to financial woes was read out. Consolidated Properties property development manager Stephen Pink had blamed an ‘unstable economic climate’ for the delay last week. Mr Pink told media the global financial crisis ‘dried up’ available funding and the banks weren’t lending any money, but he expected subdivision of the area to begin late this year. Mr O’Rorke said his company was currently working through the construction drawings to enable them to lodge a final set with the Tweed Shire Council for building approval. ‘The development application for the town centre from both the council and the NSW state government has now come through,’ he said. ‘It’s taken four years to get through the council and state government and that’s an unacceptable amount of time. But it’s par for the course for any development in New South Wales these days,’ he said. ‘The fact that the approvals have come through in the middle of the global financial crisis hasn’t helped any either. It’s been a very difficult financial market – and that applies to all projects across Australia.’ Mr O’Rorke said Coles had been committed to the project for the past five years. ‘Our company had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Casuarina and we’re committed to investing many more,’ he said. The way was cleared for the town centre to proceed in controversial

Revitalising culture is child’s play Kate McIntosh

A new Indigenous playgroup in Murwillumbah is helping put culture into play for children and their families. Kids Caring For Country was launched in February and is open to children aged up to five years old. Activities are centred around Indigenous languages, dances, crafts and values, as well as providing practical information on health and nutrition. The playgroup is the first of its kind in the Tweed area and it’s hoped it will eventually be expanded to include Byron Bay and Tweed Heads. The group was started by Tumbulcontinued on page 5

gum mum Lara Bennett, who came up with the idea while studying for an Indigenous Trauma and Healing degree at Southern Cross University. Lara said the group aims to connect Indigenous families through culture and revitalise cultural practices in the Tweed area. She has engaged local Indigenous facilitators to share their skills with the children and their families. A welcome to country is performed at the beginning of each playgroup and children receive instruction in Bundjalung language and songs, as well as learning traditional Torres Strait Islander weaving techniques. Stokers Siding performer Dennis Walker has been teaching children and parents traditional Bundjalung dances, which culminated in a special corroboree and concert held last week with students from Murwillumbah Primary School. Long term, Lara hopes the playgroup will strengthen ties amongst

the Indigenous community and help children grow up with a sense of pride and connection to each other and the land. ‘We really want to engage with the local Aboriginal community and share their ideas and the knowledge so that we can keep that culture alive,’ she said. ‘Being a caretaker of the land and local area in which you live, learning through play and connecting Indigenous parents with each other and skill sharing.’ Initial support for the playgroup is being provided by Murwillumbah Communities For Children and Tweed Shire Women’s Service, but Lara is hoping to secure funding to ensure its future. The plagroup is free and starts at 10am every Thursday in Knox Park opposite the Tweed Shire Women’s Service in Nullum Street. Non-Indigenous children and their families are also welcome to attend.

Coal-seam gas fears are heating up

on coal-seam gas exploration and mining until wide-ranging concerns about the process have been addressed. The NRG has joined up with the Lock the Gate Alliance (lockthegate.org.au) to try to stop any coal-seam gas mining in the Tweed. The alliance of farmers, environmentalists and rural landowners is currently supporting a blockade in Tara, southeast Queensland, where coal-seam gas mining companies have installed drilling wells on private properties, upsetting many landowners, even those who originally gave permission, in the process. Northern Rivers activists have joined the fight (see story, right), lobbying against coalseam gas mining which uses the contentious practice of ‘fracking’ to extract gas. Hydraulic fracking involves the use of toxic chemicals under high pressure to fracture the seam to release the gas. Aquifers and underground water sources can easily be contaminated by the method, and in the USA water sources on farming land have been contaminated by the toxic chemicals used.

Tweed residents concerned about the impact of coal-seam gas mining are being urged to  Authorised Reseller lodge submissions against the Authorised Service Provider controversial industry by tomorrow, Friday, April 15.

Members of the community are right to be concerned about the potential impact on water quality in the Tweed Valley,’ he said. ‘This is especially so after hearing from Casino area residents on the night about their experiences with this industry. ‘Initiatives such as the Northern Rivers Food Links and the Murwillumbah Growers Markets are definitely under threat.’

Council ‘should act’ Mr McNamara said Tweed Shire Council, as the water supply authority for the shire, had a responsibility to the community to ensure the quality of water supplies. ‘The Council should speak up loud and long on behalf

of the local communities to ensure that water quality is paramount when the state government makes decisions about industrial activity in the Tweed.’ The NSW Government is asking for input from the community on the issues to be addressed as it prepares its coal and gas strategy.

Uki finds a way to honour its elders Kate McIntosh

A special day organised by the Uki arts community will honour the contribution of older people with a simple, yet healing gesture. As part of the second annual Honour Elders Day a healing space will be set up in Uki Hall, with many modalities of healing on offer free of charge to older people. The event, which is being held this Sunday in conjunction with the Uki Buttery Bazaar markets, will also feature music and other performances especially selected to tickle the fancies of seniors. Ukitopia vice president and event organiser Sue McKenna said the idea had been developed as a result of the Elder’s Tent – part of the Ukitopia festival for the past three years. The dedicated space allowed Indigenous and non-Indigenous elders to share their stories and history as part of the village’s annual arts and cultural celebration. ‘A lot of the elder people told us later that they’d never done that before; they’d never just

sat down and talked like that among each other,’ she said. Elders Day had expanded on that idea as a way of giving back to older people, Sue said. Healers from across Tweed will offer their services – including massage, spiritual guidance and lifestyle education. ‘Sometimes it can be hard to know what to give, but this was actually a way of giving, not

only time, but love,’ she said. ‘Older people don’t always get enough respect or appreciation, so it was only natural that we should do more to honour our elders and really recognise that.’ Shuttle buses have also been arranged and will be providing transport from local aged care facilities.

Revised Wooyung plan gets thumbs down Murray Simpson

A bid to breathe life back into a grandiose resort development at Wooyung has had cold water thrown on it by planning regulators at both local and state levels. A consortium that won council approval in the 1980s to build a 500-bed tourist resort and man-made lake on the 80-hectare site has surfaced again 23 years later with a trimmed-down proposal. This time they have floated a proposal for a 24-lot luxury home development they hoped would placate local opposition and appeal to regulators with its environmentally lower profile approach. But the Tweed Shire Council and the Department of Planning both said this week they were far from impressed.

However, a council spokesman said this does not prevent the consortium forging ahead with their original proposal. In a landmark decision in 2006 the Land and Environment Court found approval for the large-scale tourist resort had not expired because surveyors’ pegs driven into the ground in 1989 constituted a physical commencement of work. But in a tight financial market, resurrection of the resort scheme is not considered a serious option. Project manager Kenneth Neff declined to comment this week on whether the old project was still on the cards. The Department of Planning said in a blunt letter to the consortium’s planning consultant Steven Smith of LandPartners in Lismore that it was ‘not will-

Community garden launched Cabarita Youth Centre’s new community garden was launched last Saturday week under the shade of the centre’s newly established outdoor area. A youth centre spokesperson, Suzi Bourke, praised the efforts of local youth and businesses, who donated products, for making the beachfront garden look ‘so professional’. Lettuce, herbs, corn, tomatoes, bananas and some flowers have grown rapidly with the recent good growing climate. Old tyres create edging beds and various pieces of ladders and metal shelves now support climbing plants. Compost bins are ready to be filled with green waste from the local restaurants and a worm farm is being made in an old bathtub. Two large sunshades protect from the western sun and give a lovely shade for the recycled outdoor setting. The aim of the centre is to provide youth aged between 12 and 25 with a place of their own. The garden incorporates an outdoor venue for them to hang out together and feel proud of their efforts. ‘It visibly demonstrates their potential when guided and cared for,’ Suzi Bourke said. ‘When the centre was first initiated, Matt Cotter (youth activities project co-ordinator) asked them what they wanted to achieve,’ she said.

‘They wanted four things in a youth centre – a commercial kitchen, a trade centre, a media room and a community garden. ‘The aim of the garden is to produce vegetables and donate them to local restaurants with the ultimate aim of initiating a partnership that may help some young people access the restaurant business. ‘It is also hoped to provide some food for low-income families. Another aspect of their plan is to sell some produce and

use the funds raised to sponsor disadvantaged youth on some of the adventure activities planned by Matt Cotter.’ Donors were Coast to Country Landscape Supplies, Tweed Coast Shade Solutions, Bunnings, Tweed Shire Council, Stotts Creek Recycling and several nurseries. ‘Christian Ellis and Nicole Shippard learned their expertise on horticulture to the project. It was, and is, a powerful community effort,’ Suzi said.

Tweed transport threatened by population growth Tweed’s rickety transport system will be shredded by a staggering population explosion of 41 per cent over the next 20 years. Sobering figures prepared by council consultants forecast the shire’s resources including roads, water and related infrastructure will be sorely tested by a population blow-out of 37,753 by the year 2031. The growth pressure will be felt hardest at Cobaki followed by Bilambil Heights, Casuarina, Pottsville and Murwillumbah. The report, prepared by ID consultants, said that, based on current migration trends, most of the new residents will come from Sydney, coastal New South Wales and overseas. There is expected to be little net migration south from the Gold Coast and Brisbane. In line with the national forecasts, Tweed’s population is expected to continue getting older. Currently the 45–49 age bracket dominates in Tweed. This will change dramatically by 2021 when the 60–64s will rule the roost and the 65–69s by 2031.

Luxury cars lead the high-rise push Ken Sapwell

Two car dealerships will dominate the skyline on the southern approach to Tweed Heads under plans already green-lighted by council for a six-storey showroom and office block on a key Wharf Street site. Bruce Lynton Pty Ltd, which runs a BMW and Land Rover dealership in Southport, is expecting to win final approval for the $20 million project from a government planning panel before it’s axed by new premier Barry O’Farrell. The huge 5,702m2 site, which is just metres from the Terranora Inlet and bounded by Boyd, Recreation and Wharf Streets, contains vacant land and rundown buildings left over from its former use as a cut-price

fruit and vege market. It is across the road from a rival Honda dealership which is currently three storeys but is earmarked for 18 storeys under a proposed new LEP for Tweed Heads drawn up by another government panel despite strong community objections. It is set to replace an earlier master plan which limited heights to three storeys for most of the southern end, instead of 10 storeys as proposed under the draft LEP, which is expected to go on public exhibition soon. The company is seeking approval under the 2000 LEP which opened the doors to Gold Coast-style high-rise development for the first time. The LEP triggered a massive community backlash leading to the preparation of the now

stalled master plan. Residents’ association president and community representative on the panel which wants to relax height limits, Laurie Ganter, says drawings of the development give a glimpse of what’s in store for most of the town. ‘The master plan allowed some high rise in parts of the town’s central business centre but heights in most other areas were limited to three storeys to maintain sight lines for houses on the side of the Razorback Ridge,’ he said. ‘But a bunch of Sydney-based bureaucrats who comprised the majority on the panel now want to allow up to 10 storeys on both sides of Wharf and Recreation Streets all the way to the Boyds Bay Bridge.’

NEED MORE SLEEP?

Mr Ganter said the bureaucrats wanted to allow the Honda dealership to go to 15 storeys and a raised site on the opposite side of Wharf Street to 10 storeys as part of a grand vision for a so-called ‘entry-statement’ comprising twin towers. ‘Their aim is to revive the town’s economic fortunes and double the population to 14,000 people but no amount of highrise development will achieve this. They ignore the fact that the major business activity has moved to south Tweed Heads’. Mr Ganter said he hoped National Party MP for the Tweed, Geoff Provest, would scrap former Planning Minister’s Frank Sartor’s vision for Tweed Heads and reinstate the master plan which had both community and council support.

A new community-based Men’s Shed helping promote health and wellbeing has found a permanent base at Murwillumbah. Tweed was home to Australia’s first mobile Men’s Shed before a lack of funding forced its closure in 2005. The new Mur willumbah Community Men’s Shed (MCMS) is due to open soon in Bray Park at the site of a former pump shed where Tweed Shire Council has granted them a long-term lease.

Men’s Sheds are found throughout Australia and are based around the concept of the backyard shed, with the aim of providing a place for men to talk and share skills. Steering committee chair Phil Davison says Men’s Sheds are an important community resource, helping reach out to isolated men or those at risk of depression or health problems. Activities planned include woodworking, metalworking, crafts and gardening. ‘A lot of guys from retirement or who have lost their wives, they don’t seem to know

what to do with themselves,’ he said. ‘Having a place where they can come, build up their selfesteem, even if it’s just having a cup of tea and a chat, that’s important.’ The MCMS will hold its inaugural AGM on April 19 from 7pm in the Wollumbin Room at the Murwillumbah Services Memorial Club. The committee is seeking donations of tools and timber for the centre. If you can help contact Phil Davison on 040 374 032 or maddogdavison@ hotmail.com.

circumstances in 2009 when NSW Planning Minister Kristina Keneally overruled the Tweed Shire Council and allowed Mr O’Rorke to reduce the number of beachfront parking spaces. Mr O’Rorke claimed the shopping centre could not go ahead unless he could relocate the parking spaces to the site of a proposed Coles supermarket. The state government decision flew in the face of a recommendation by council town www.tweedecho.com.au

planners that a beachfront esplanade with more than 100 car spaces be preserved in line with the original plans for the development. They said removal of the car spaces would amount to a de facto privatisation of the beachfront and ignored the needs of a growing number of families visiting the beach at weekends. But Ms Keneally said she had agreed to adopt a new concept plan put forward by Mr O’Rorke which reduced

the length of the esplanade by two-thirds, wiping out scores of car spots. Mr O’Rorke, who had donated $50,000 to the ALP coffers in 2007, hailed the decision as a ‘fantastic outcome’ which paved the way for a town centre and 2,500 square metre supermarket to be built by 2011. The way was further smoothed when the council agreed to sell most of a natural stormwater swale to Mr O’Rorke to make way for a bigger supermarket.

It’s still more than a year before any effects from the proposed carbon tax will kick in, but already prices, particularly electricity, petrol and food, appear to be going through the roof. At least some of the increases are actually due to delays in implementing the tax, but Abbott and his colleagues have quite consciously and deliberately adopted the strategy of blaming the tax for everything: the big lie is, as always, the simplest approach. And as scare campaigns go, it is going pretty well and it will continue to flourish unless and until Gillard and her colleagues can come up with some hard numbers to counter it. And by then, if Abbott can establish a public mood of fear and mistrust, it may be too late. Having paid his respects to his personal God every evening, Abbott must also breathe a prayer of thanks to the fridge magnet that gave him the idea: I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was going to blame you for it.

diatribes about broken election promises she is seen not so much as a liar, but as malleable, even weak. She responds too readily to pressure, from her colleagues, from her opponents such as the miners and now perhaps the pubs and clubs, and from the opinion polls. Her word cannot be trusted, not because she is, like Abbott, deliberately mendacious, but because she is just as likely to change her mind next time she addresses the subject.

Before

After all, she has certainly done so at least once about the whole carbon price issue, as Rudd rather unnecessarily reminded the world last week. And the electorate’s disappointment is more profound because she came to the job with much good will and sympathy: our first female prime minister thrown in at the deep end, in hugely difficult circumstances and before she was fully prepared for the task. We had high hopes for her, and she has let us down. As Shakespeare put it in rather harsher context: Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.

ut if Gillard is getting a caning from the polls, it’s nothing compared to what the Greens are getting from the loony right wing media – and yes, Chris Mitchell, we do mean The Australian. The beleaguered party must feel that there is no justice. For years it has copped a hammering for being a single issue party, a bunch of fanatical fringe dwellers with no idea or understanding of the real process of

government. But now that it has developed a wider social agenda and is on its way to becoming a player with policies covering most aspects of Australian politics, it is lambasted for deserting its roots: get back to tree-hugging, scream the critics. There are several reasons for the outburst of unbridled hatred from the conservatives, led by the usual Mafiosi of News Limited. One is simply the fact that Greens are a party of the far left, at least in Australian terms; this alone makes them unacceptable to the professional Tories. The second, obviously, is that they are on the brink of assuming the balance of power in the senate, and like all minority parties in hung houses of parliament, will obtain clout far beyond their actual voter support. At various times this has been the case with the Country Party (now called Nationals), the DLP, the Democrats and even individual independent senators: Harradine, Fielding and Xenophon are names that come instantly to mind but there have been others. This travesty of democracy is perfectly forgivable when the minority is on your side, but if it’s not, then expunge it from the face of the earth. But I suspect the real issue for The Australian, or at least for many of its columnists, is that the Greens are seen as anti-religious; they are pagan worshippers of Gaia or worse and should be stoned to death as blasphemers. Actually there are quite a lot of seriously Christian greenies, an obvious example being Peter Garrett. But they don’t count; they are merely dupes in the grip of the godless communist juggernaut now running out of the control of its revered and selfless founders – the ones we used to despise as the nutters with fairies in the bottom of the garden. See, it’s all perfectly logical, at least if you work for The Australian.

when atmospheric oxygen levels drop. A sick ecosystem impacts on people too. Whoever makes these population decisions is not seeing the big picture. They forget that we live in a finite world. Malthus said that if population increases faster than the means of subsistence, and if no check is put upon population growth, many will starve or be ill-fed. There will be increasing mental health problems as people grieve the loss of the natural world around them, sacrificed for the quest for short-term profit. It’s time to check population growth before it becomes an irreversible monster whose tentacles will strangle our quality of life and World Heritage values.

Tweed Council recently was that people wanted protection of this unique ecosystem more than anything. Yet this is conveniently ignored in favour of economic growth. Locals will experience a loss of amenities and services while struggling to get their kids into schools, parents into nursing homes, sick relatives into hospitals and to find a parking spot. The cost of living is skyrocketing. Tweed Shire already has high rentals relative to income, which means more poverty, more crime and more homelessness. We are already at breaking point. How much worse in 20 years? Council thinks massive high-rise development is the solution, along with a new dam. However, the fewer species, the sicker the ecosystem. Animals fertilise the earth for more trees to uptake CO2 and exhale O1 for us to breathe. Mass extinction events occur

Last week’s Tweed Link reported that our population will explode to 128,000 by 2031. This is a 41 per cent increase, or 1.7 per cent per annum. Since India’s growth rate is 1.6 per cent and the global average 1.1 per cent, this means Tweed Shire has faster population growth than third world countries! This is not sustainable for a World Heritage area with incredible biodiversity. Wildlife habitat will be levelled for all these people and that means local extinctions, the koala being only one species at risk. Community feedback to

farce which masqueraded as the ‘public consultation’ process for the development of Kingscliff ’s Lot 490, Barbara Fitzgibbon’s claim that we should accept the current DA as it is the best of a bad lot serves only to perpetuate the ludicrous claim that Tweed residents should accept any resort-style development because it is good for us. This, despite the fact that every such development between Kingscliff ’s Murphys Road and Cabarita over the past seven years has either gone into administration or been sold out of receivership. Leightons’ DA for Lot 490 may well be marginally more acceptable than a nuclear power plant, a hazardous materials dump, or a half-way house for convicted paedophiles; it still

address many social impact issues and relies to a substantial degree on a purported ‘telephone’ polling system which failed to document and authenticate scale and methodology. The reference group set up to assist Leightons in establishing the ‘mandated’ criteria consisted entirely of commercial, council and government representatives, other than delegates from the Aboriginal community and the Kingscliff Ratepayers’ Association. The association has barely 30 financial members; the Aboriginal representative had a conflict by way of a directorship of a company involved with Leightons over a proposed commercial interest within the site. The former government, Tweed Shire Council and Leightons have, for six years, refused to convene a public meeting of Kingscliff residents to discuss whether they want any development at all, let alone another ‘resort’. Two petitions against the development containing hundreds of signatures from residents of the entire shire and scores of protest letters to the former government have been totally ignored.

fails to comply with almost every criterion for which it was, supposedly, designed. It contravenes the existing government Coastal Management Strategy Document. It fails to address and enunciate a sustainable and continuing income stream to council to put toward future foreshore management, which was a pivotal point of the Draft Plan of Management. Both Leightons and the former government have refused to put an estimated dollar value on this return which, in any case, will flow to consolidated revenue and be available to council only via successful grant applications. It fails to supply a separate resort vehicular access point from the re-aligned Coast Road, instead utilising the former Coast Road (an area delineated for improved public access); and it includes resort parking space in this same area agreed upon for improved public access and regeneration. The footprint of the proposed resort exceeds that agreed to in the Draft Plan of Management, in which the parameters of all topographical, financial and conservation issues were clearly defined for participating tenderers. The Social Impact statement contained in the DA is manifestly inadequate, fails to

Tweed Shire Council is presently preparing for the Joint Regional Planning Panel their report of public submissions in relation the first 917 lots of the 5,500 Lot, Cobaki Lake residential subdivision. The Tweed Coast Koala Habitat Study (January 2011) reports that the 144 Tweed koalas remaining in areas of currently occupied habitat are now below the minimum viable population size. Uncaringly Tweed Shire councillors have rejected a Cobaki Lakes Koala Management Plan knowing that the 2011 Tweed Study called for action north of the Tweed River. No action would result in the localised extinction of the koala in the Cobaki area within five to ten years. The Tweed community and Tweed Shire Council staff are well aware of the koala corridor that exists between the Anconia Ave, Tulgi Road SEPP 14 Wetlands, the Cobaki Nature Reserve formerly called the ‘Koala Block’ and the western neighbouring properties of Cobaki Lakes. Koalas have been seen recently on these McPherson Range properties following the clearing of some 197.6ha of vegetation and koala habitat from the Cobaki Lakes residential site. It is likely that the Cobaki Lakes site has still some SEPP 44 Core Koala Habitat remaining in their Range land. Following years of tree clearing and cattle dog activity at the Cobaki Lake site, our submission has sought that dogs be not permitted due to their potential predation of the koala, long-nosed potoroo and threatened fauna species. The Tweed community now places their trust in that Tweed Shire Council staff can direct the Joint Regional Planning Panel towards a koala-saving plan for the Cobaki.

■ A lot has been said about the Leightons Lot 490 disaster but no one has stated the facts. Ngaraakwal representation was removed from the Aboriginal reference group, there has been no true Aboriginal consultation and the Leightons project cannot be approved. This is only one of many scandals that the new NSW government must fix.

Lifeline scores top in band battle Kate McIntosh

Urban groove four-piece Lifeline had the winning sound at the Tweed Battle of the Bands held earlier this month. The 14-year-olds, who hail from Uki, Mullumbimby and Byron Bay, impressed with their stage presence and original sound. The inaugural event was organised by the Safer Communities Alliance in conjunction with National Youth Week celebrations as a way of showcasing up and coming acts to a wider audience. As the competition’s winners, Lifeline receive three days’ recording at Crystal Grid Studios in Byron Bay, a gig at Twin Towns and a photography and marketing package. Rounding out the top three were Murwillumbah rock act TOUCH and Palm Beach five-piece Soldier Crabs who are all members of the same family. Eight bands from the southern Gold Coast, Tweed and Byron regions performed at the event, which included metal, pop rock, reggae and rock acts. Event organiser Kristie Hedley said some 400 young people attended the event, which was held over three nights. ‘We’re really pleased with the turnout, particularly because this was our first event and we think we can only build on that and get better and better,’ she said. Due to the event’s popularity, Ms

Terranora development ‘a sausage factory’– residents Murray Simpson

A battle royal is brewing on the red soil slopes of Terranora as residents of semi-rural blocks try and keep the encroachment of cheaper suburban blocks at arm’s length. Residents in Parks Lane, which runs off Fraser Drive, are appalled at the prospect of living cheek by jowl with the Altitude Aspire development being built by Newland Development, a subsidiary of Metricon. ‘It’s sausage factory slab on ground stuff on tiny blocks,’ said resident spokesman Michael Connelly. ‘It’s totally out of kilter with the existing residential use. We need a significant buffer zone.’ Park Lane residents occupy semirural blocks of between 2,000 and 4,000 square metres (a half to one acre in old money). Residents are specially alarmed

at plans by Newland to build a 2.4 metre high sound wall 700 metres long along the project’s Fraser Drive boundary. They say it will block out magnificent views of the caldera rim. And they fear it will be a target for graffiti similar to what has happened at Flame Tree Park further down Fraser Drive and also built by Metrocon. A significant area of Terranora from Lindisfarne School to Fraser Drive was rezoned residential under the Area E plan in 2008 providing for 3,500 residential blocks. Newland plans putting in over 300 allotments and have sought planning approval under Part 3A from the state government rather than from the council. The Tweed Shire Council is understood to be formulating its own submission to the Department of Planning, which will be tabled at next week’s full council meeting.

Hedley said regular under-18 jam sessions are now planned, with details to be finalised in coming weeks. Ms Hedley says it’s hoped the monthly sessions will go some way towards addressing the lack of local youth-oriented venues, particularly

in the Tweed region. Another Battle is also scheduled for September. The alliance has previously campaigned for cross-border policing and late night transport out of Coolangatta, but is currently focusing on youth issues in the area.

The recent outbreak of blue-green algae reported in Clarrie Hall Dam in the Tweed catchment has almost dissipated, authorities say. Brian Dodd, spokesperson for the North Coast Regional Algal Co-ordinating Committee (RACC), said the waters of Clarrie Hall Dam were this week recording low levels of bluegreen algae and the warning has now been lifted by the RACC. ‘Although the blue-green algae is not a threat on the north coast at

present, users of Clarrie Hall Dam are asked to be vigilant and keep an eye out for a recurrence of blue-green algae as blooms can develop in a 24 hour period,’ Mr Dodd said. ‘Blue-green algae makes the water appear dirty, green or discoloured and are generally associated with a strong musty or earthy odour,’ he said. For more information call the state’s toll free algae information line on 1800 999 457 or visit the website – www.water.nsw.gov.au.

■ The latest Tweed Link (Issue 705) headlines that Tweed’s population is ‘set to exceed 128,000 in 20 years.’ I wonder how the Tweed Shire Council in 2031 might explain to residents why all the rivers and groundwater in the shire were permitted to become toxic, undrinkable and a danger to human and animal health, starting 20 years earlier? If coal-seam gas mining goes ahead in the Tweed Valley, this is the spectre. Make no mistake, gas mining using the ‘hydraulic fracturing’ process – also known as fracking – is the single biggest man-made environmental threat in Australia, bar none. This is neither scaremongering nor fantasy – this is deadly serious: fracking can cause terminal pollution of aquifers (underground water streams), gas leakage to the atmosphere, declines in property values and consequent reductions in council rates revenue. To learn more go to http://lockthegate.org.au. Whether it knows it or not, today’s Tweed Shire Council has an unprecedented and extremely grave responsibility. How will it measure up in dealing with potentially catastrophic water, air and noise pollution scenarios, not to mention collapse of all related

environmental values? Do our councillors know enough about coal-seam gas mining’s downsides? At least as importantly, do they really care – for what happens now, as well as beyond the next local elections? The Queensland experience to date has been frightening and was recently covered on ABC TV’s Four Corners: go to www.abc.net.au/4corners/ special_eds/20110221/gas. I wonder also whether most Tweed Shire residents know that revenue-hungry state and federal governments have already given overseas mining companies the go-ahead to search for and extract natural gas throughout Australia, including much of the Northern Rivers? Do they know that gas exploration and extraction use pristine underground water for fracking? If this misuse of ‘sweet’ water were not bad enough, what about the cocktail (500+) of chemicals which can be added to assist fracking – some of which are cancer-causing? Even the crucial Great Artesian Basin is now under threat of fracking-induced contamination. By the way, bore water on many properties in the USA has now become so unsafe as a result of fracking that the mining executives themselves

Getting down on the Farm

Soap Box WHAT’S ’ER NAME?

I am at a distinct social disadvantage. It’s a small town and I have a relatively high profile. I am the human equivalent of the Big Prawn. I have become Izzy Dye. People even say to my kids on the school bus ‘wow you’re Mandy Nolan’s kids. You must be rich’. Yep, that’s why we live in a rented property in the middle of Mullumbimby with a chicken wire fence. Visibility should never be confused with celebrity. I’m not famous. I’m just obvious. I’m used to it. I grew up in a Queensland country town where I was the only girl in the whole village with a neck. I’m 6 foot tall, so it’s always been hard to ‘blend in’ with the natives. But that’s not my problem. What challenges me most is that everyone knows my name. Small children, grandmothers, school kids, mums, butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, all seem to know ‘Mandy Nolan’. The problem is, I don’t always know them. Even after I’ve met them a few times. Or taught them. Or performed at their function. Or given birth to their child. And when you live in a small community it’s embarrassing when you stumble on someone’s name when they confidently say yours. There are people I have known for years, and I don’t have a clue who they are. Last week I had a friend pop over for a cup of tea and I couldn’t for the life of me remember her name. Then another friend came by. Of course they didn’t know each other and so I was forced to make a very painful introduction. In the past I went for the offhand ‘why don’t we abandon formalities and you two introduce yourselves?’ But that’s just like signposting my rudeness. You see, people are hurt if you don’t know their names. They feel insignificant and unimportant. If you don’t remember someone’s name it means that they are forgettable. It means they weren’t important enough to commit to memory. When I didn’t remember someone’s name I once admitted it to the person and she looked at me sadly ‘that’s okay, I am sure you meet a lot of people’. The inference was that she didn’t. Clearly I was terribly important, way

Mandy Nolan

too important to remember her dreary name. I felt dreadful. So dreadful all I could think about was how bad I felt for not remembering her name, and then I forgot it again and had to ask her a second time. By the end of our brief encounter the poor woman needed a selfesteem transplant. We all use the affectionate coverups as compensation for a missing moniker. ‘Darl’, ‘Mate’, ‘Sweetheart’, ‘Love’. But they’re annoying. People hate these shallow attempts at affection from semi-strangers who don’t know who they are. I am a serial offender. I’ll see someone, and I’ll know that I am supposed to know who they are, then I have a panic attack, consider crossing the road, all the while scanning my brain for any information that might jog a flashback. ‘Sally, Sarah, Siana, no no, it’s kind of hippy, Sesame, Serendipity, like silence. Serenity. It’s Serenity.’ I’m so relieved I use their name five times in the same sentence. Then they stop and look at me with disdain. ‘Oh, that’s what I used to be called. I’ve changed my name’. You are fricking kidding. It’s hard enough remembering the first name, then people go and change it. I used to know a girl called Deb. We worked together schlepping burgers at Ringos. Then she changed her name. Every time I called her Deb she scowled at me. She’d changed her name. She had told me around 10 times but I couldn’t remember, it was too weird. The only way I could remember was that it rhymes with that dry biscuit my Nanna used to eat with sliced tomato: Ryvita. I’m all for name tags. I love them. I’d wear one every day. In fact I’m pushing for the council to make it compulsory for all residents to wear one. Sort of like parking permits. And if you don’t have yours on the Ranger will chalk your leg and hit you with a fine. So when I see you next and I look longingly into your eyes for a clue, please, please, tell me your name. (That also goes for my kids.)

Michelle Shocked Regarded as a pioneer in the ‘alternative music’ field, Michelle Shocked has been showered with love and respect by Indie music lovers as she continues to follow a path less travelled, preferring the intimacy of ‘cool but inclusive’ venues and benefit concerts. She is, without doubt, a perennial favourite. Michelle Shocked is a two-time Grammy nominee who made a big impact on the music world with a trio of acclaimed releases – her first three Mercury albums, Short Sharp Shocked (1988), Captain Swing (1989) and Arkansas Traveler (1992). Rolling Stone praised her revolutionary folk blues: ‘A music that is less about politics than it is a personal declaration of independence.’ In mid 2010 Michelle announced her east coast USA tour with this promise to fans: ‘If you have a recent original song that “puts a human face on the abstraction of current unemployment statistics,” KI come up and sing it for us.’ Rather than MA L A D E U WILD MAR IDAY shocked, come and be moved, by HALL FR Michelle Shocked.

Classical & Choral Performance

Singing Dudes in Concert They call themselves the Cool Chilli Dudes, a barbershop group formed within the village-based Chillingham Voices. They will be making a special MAGGIES FARM SH EOAK appearance when the community SHACK THIS SATU RDAY choir presents its concert On with the Show in Murwillumbah this Sunday. Chillingham Voices started three years ago and the Dudes got together last year. Unusually for a local choir, the Chillingham group has almost as many men as women, and conductor Harlie Axford has encouraged the new group to branch out into barbershop singing. ‘Singing together is a really positive feeling,’ says Brian Harmon, choir secretary and Dudes enthusiast. ‘Doing something as a group that feels so good is special. I’d gone 58 years without singing when I joined, and it’s a real buzz to find I can.’ Psychiatrist Liz Harmon, choir treasurer and Brian’s partner, has a professional opinion on what singing does for men. ‘It alleviates depression, it promotes male bonding – and it improves their sex life.’ Brian doesn’t disagree. All 40 members of the choir, who range in age from 13 to 80, hope that Sunday’s audience will share the enjoyment. Chillingham Voices present On with the Show: Musical choruses from Oklahoma to Les Mis at the Autumn Club, next to Murwillumbah Library, on Sunday April 17. Doors open 1.30pm, concert at 2.30pm, tickets $12 ($8 concession) includes afternoon tea.

Kayne Green’s work The Thinker acquired for the Collection by the Friends of the Gallery through the CPM National Print Awards 2011.

Printmakers world class says expert THE JUDGE of this year’s CPM National Print Awards which opened at Tweed River Art Gallery last week told the packed audience the exhibition would look good anywhere in the world. Professor Grishin, the Sir William Dobell Professor of Art History at the Australian National University and an acknowledged expert in Australian printmaking, said the awards, which drew many high-quality entries, was of national significance and would have impressed at any of the capital city galleries here and overseas. The 2011 Community Printmakers (CPM) National Print Prize Awards and exhibition were launched with a presentation ceremony at the Murwillumbah gallery last Saturday attened by almost 300 people. The exhibition continues till May 29. He said many of the prints contained timely and pertinent political and social comment and reflected the strength of printmaking across Australia. The awards’ major prize, the Tweed Shire Council $5000 Acquisitive Award, was won by Braidwood artist Cecile Galiazzo with her relief print Greener Pastures. ‘Greener Pastures is an exceptional and challenging print about the migrant experience. The image depicts a boatload of refugees and is made up of a microcosm of tiny images which ultimately go back to a medieval mosaic of Christ as navigator’ Professor Grishin said. The winning artist said ‘The grass is always greener on the other side, or so we are led to believe, yet warned that it is not necessarily so. ‘We know and have seen images of people lost to sea as they battle to flee oppression, war, persecution and poverty. Is there hope of greener pastures? Perhaps only for the lucky few.

Green for her lithograph The Thinker. Professor Grishin described her as one of Australia’ finest lithographers. Victorian artist Jackie Gorring’s entry Kiah, noel, about loss of identity within mass society, was awarded the $1000 Tony Abernethy Memorial Award for entries which examined the human condition. The awards also included three non-acquisitive prizes. Wellknown Sydney printmaker Bruce Latimer won the Les Pulman $1000 Humour In Art Award with his etching, aquatint and á la poupée The Rest (after Cezanne). Gwenn Tasker from Brisbane won the $400 Barbara Carroll Award For Socio/Political Comment for her relief, silkscreen Nature Consumed IV.

With Mercury throwing a spanner in the universal works, this high voltage, wildfire week is impetuous and volatile. It breaks rules, shakes lives, makes changes…

ARIES: Five planets in your fiery sign makes it hard to stay patient, but this week rewards good behaviour so tune into its tender, affectionate, giving and forgiving Venus vibes to restore accord where there’s been friction, to show and tell others how much you value them. TAURUS:Things that formerly seemed important could lose their imperative this week as new perspectives and realizations emerge. If you’re noticing a credibility gap between your actual life and your splendid unused potential, then listen to your business instincts, put on your practical hat and get cracking. GEMINI: You’re the sign of Twins and this week it pays to think in twos. Firstly as in seeing the other person’s needs and viewpoint. And secondly when

verbalising complaints to remember that criticism’s always more acceptable when delivered sandwiched between a couple of compliments. CANCER: Fortunately this week’s tempestuous types respond positively to the appreciative sweet talk you do so well, so be guided by the Cancerian Dalai Lama’s ever sensible advice: Work very hard to make the world a better place. But if all your efforts fail, no hard feelings! LEO: Will this exuberant, let’s do it week get Your Majesty buzzing? Like anything. But resist being hasty or outspoken because the atmosphere’s combustible and a careless comment could shatter goodwill.

support and backing. VIRGO: Feelings run hot and high this week, especially during Thursday/Friday’s Virgo moon, so don’t make yourself the meat in the sandwich of other people’s problems. Accept that even loved ones or supporters may not share your views, and downplay misunderstandings or differences of opinion. LIBRA: Achieving serene brain space could be a challenge this week. Pressure won’t solve problems so stick with your trademark calm and charm, steer clear of the gossip mill and since accident ratings are quite high right now, do take care and don’t take risks. SCORPIO: This undeniably vibrant week is also abrasive, opinionated, petulant and self-centred. Scorpios are born

smart, so stay cool and don’t argue with overheated people. Your powers of nonverbal persuasion are always impressive, so you won’t need to say much to make your point. SAGITTARIUS: You’re the zodiac sign of the explorer, and this week it’s more informative and effective to explore your emotions rather than alienate others with sharp words at this year’s critical juncture in your personal life. Present relationship hot spots require creative patience and artful negotiation. CAPRICORN: This week’s cosmic cattle prod activates your longstanding issue of rehashing the past. Basic common sense dictates learning lessons then letting them go so resentments don’t keep resurfacing. Toxic nostalgia’s a

condition of defending an outdated version of yourself – and you’re so much better than that. AQUARIUS: This week restrictions to your freedom of choice or movement could be particularly irritating. But the good news is that refusing to see people as enemies opens the door for them to become allies, making a whole new can of options and possibilities available. PISCES: This week speaks its mind, though you mightn’t altogether like what it says. Attending to everyday duties, responsibilities, courtesies and routines is even more important than usual during this transit, which tests your ability to be clear and articulate in communicating what you want.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm Since his retirement from professional chess in 2005, former World Champion Garry Kasparov has been a prominent spokesman criticising the government of Vladimir Putin. Kasparov and the organisation he advances, The Other Russia, have been a thorn in the side of the Russian government – albeit a minor one – with demonstrations broken up violently and Kasparov refused permission to stand in the 2008 presidential elections. However, Kasparov has always found a willing outlet for his political opinions in the USA, with the Wall Street Journal in particular publishing his writings. As a result, the governmentcontrolled media in Russia has had a relatively easy task in trashing Kasparov’s reputation; not only directly but also by playing up every minor chess exhibition in which Kasparov competed since his retirement as a sign that a comeback was around the corner, implying that Kasparov was no more than a dilettante at politics. Unfortunately this week Kasparov made this task a little

easier, by being the star attraction at a fund-raising exhibition in Florida for the Revere America Foundation. Revere America’s blurb on the promotional brochure for the exhibition sounds great – ‘A nonpartisan organisation dedicated to advancing common sense public policies rooted in our traditions of freedom and free markets.’ However, digging a little deeper would have revealed that Revere America is a political body with one main aim: to undermine and eventually repeal last year’s US health system changes. Kasparov has long sought to remain non-party political in the US, talking with politicians of all flavours, but fund-raising for a body linked to the controversial Tea Party is likely to raise eyebrows in the US, let alone be exploited ruthlessly back in Moscow. The problem for Kasparov is that he is not really a politician; he does and says exactly what he believes, caring little about image. Kasparov’s directness earned him great respect during the communist era in the USSR, but it seems to be failing to make any impact in modern Russia.

Tweed River gets moody

Dragon paddlers medal at Nationals

David Solano

I think the river is going through some kind of transition. It is all a little strange, one week catching numerous mangrove jacks on surface lures (not big ones but a lot of fun), then next week no jacks to be seen; no flathead, only a few midget bream. Early last Wednesday morning I fished the ‘Gravel Patch’ which is situated between the Boyds Bay Bridge and Kennedy Drive boat ramp. I had on a 1/12 oz jig head with a Banana Prawn Gulp Shrimp, dead sticking with the incoming tide. Suddenly the water around me started behaving weirdly. What ever it was moved so fast through the water that it left a thin trail of speed-boat like froth in its wake. At first I thought I’d paddled into a patch of feeding trevs so

I cast a lure into the middle of this melee and nothing happened, which I found unusual as normally with trevs boffing the water they will take anything. It was at this stage I started getting a bit nervous, so I quickly sat down on the kayak and paddled to shore as sharks were on my mind because I’ve

seen them in the river before and almost caught one at the front of the Condong Sugar Mill. I didn’t get to see what was causing all that froth. If you’re looking to catch a fish on the Tweed, I recommend live yabbies or worms on a light rig on any sandbank you can find on an outgoing tide. Good Luck!

The State and National Titles have come and gone and the Coolangatta Mount Warning Dragon Boat Club is very proud of their effort and commitment, their training and results. The Manly Regatta at Kawana was a good prep for these important titles, and put the paddlers, not only in good voice but in a position to do our best in the upcoming events. Twenty-two club members, which comprise a full Dragon Boat, attended the State Titles. Held at Kawana again, the Queensland weather was not kind and it rained both days. This did not dampen their spirits and the club performed very

well, gaining a Bronze Medal in the 200m Premier Mixed 10s. We smashed our best time for this event by finishing in an approximately cool 54 seconds. The final event was the gruelling Masters Mixed 2000m. Nobody in their right minds wants to do this event after two days of exhausting paddling, but Dougal, Chris, and Brenda would have it no other way. The race started well, overtaking the boat in front at the 1000m mark and was approaching the final turn when disaster struck, when the crew collided with their ‘sister’ club Broadwater. Even with such an emotional incident, both clubs refocused

and rejoined the race; the team eventually finished fifth. The next regatta, and the most important of the year, was The Australian National Dragon Boat Championships, held in Canberra. Thirteen club members were selected to represent Queensland in State V State in the 200m and 500m. The final results were: Masters Mixed bronze, Grand Masters Women gold, Grand Masters Open silver, Great Grand Dragons Mixed gold and in the Grand Masters Mixed, missing out on a gold by just 0.5 second, a silver medal. A very impressive first outing at the Nationals for the local club.

Money for nothing?

When less means more in selling your home Now that the outside of your home has been examined and fixed up, and you’ve mastered kerb appeal, it’s time to move on to the inside of your home. Just like there was a lot of little things you could do to make an overwhelming difference to the outside of your home, there’s lots of great projects you can tackle inside, without having to spend a great deal of money. While the whole home is very important, the two primary areas for sprucing up should be your kitchen and bathroom. The following tips will guide you through the inside of your home in general, and then progress to each area of your home, to make sure that you’re maximising its potential. The world of real estate is becoming more sophisticated in its understanding of what sells. In this sense, there is a much better comprehension of how we can spruce up our homes for sale. In fact, there are actually people who have made an occupation of just this task. Fortunately, it is not one that takes a large amount of money. It’s just a matter of improving your current surroundings. The key is to look at your home not through your own eyes, but through the eyes of the prospective buyer. Look at your home as though you’ve never been there or seen it before in your life. Think of it as romancing your buyer with your house, so you’ll want to set the mood.

Clear out excess furniture and accessories from the interior of your home as much as possible. This is called ‘De-cluttering’. If a piece of furniture is too big for the room, or is crowding the room, put it in storage, have a garage sale, or give it to a deserving charity. This also goes for decorations, oversized stuffed animals, and other items that you may have collected over the years. Anything that takes up space should be considered, and if it’s not necessary, you’ll want to clear it out. Nothing is more effective at opening up a house than getting rid of clutter. It will

26 April 14, 2011 The Tweed Shire Echo

look immeasurably more spacious without all of your extra things in the way. Pay special attention to keeping hallways and doorways clear. Not only will this make the prospective buyer feel that they will be purchasing a more spacey home, but they can easier imagine their own things inside of it.

Connecting Fauna Habitats in Tweed Shire Saturday 16th April 2pm – 4pm at Canvas and Kettle Murwillumbah Guest Speaker – David Milledge David Milledge is an ecologist with over 40 years experience in fauna surveys and research in eastern Australia. David will discuss the main target fauna species and assemblages within the selected climate change corridors and priority implementation areas of the Tweed.

Last Wednesday’s inaugural Caldera Farmers Market at Murwillumbah showground was a huge success, according to organisers who said they were run off their feet from sunrise on. The midweek markets attracted several hundred people throughout the morning, with many working locals turning up before office hours to buy their fresh, locally grown produce. Organiser and cheesemaker Debbie Allard said people were ‘hugging and greeting old friends, the produce was piled high and so fresh, and the undercover venue was great as once people were out of the rain they could cruise around and shop in the dry’. The first markets started with 18 stalls but that figure is set to grow over the coming weeks. The plasticbag-free markets are held every Wednesday from 7am to 11am at the showground’s dairy pavilion. ■ ■ ■ ■

Hats off to the organisers and participants of last Saturday’s benefit gig for Japan held at the Condong Bowls Club, which raised over $1,000 for the Save the Children Australia-Japan Earthquake Appeal. Seven local bands (Donkey Rush The Fat King, As We Stand, Voodoo Milkshake, Treats, Death By Dance, Raygun Mortlock and Cupids Bullet) donated their time and one punter said it was great to see such a showcase of local young talent. Raygun Mortlock’s lead singer James Doyle, who also organised a similar event at the end of January this year to raise funds for the victims of the Queensland floods, said around 160 people turned up. ■ ■ ■ ■

victim is a wallaby that was struck by a vehicle last weekend and died soon after. The young male wallaby had become a familiar sight for locals since it turned up about two weeks ago and children recognised it on their way to school. ‘Now it’s the latest death down on Letitia road,’ said one local. ‘It’s out of control down there. The speed limit is 40km/h but vehicles are thundering past homes and I’m really concerned that the next thing they hit will be a young child. The Wild West situation has to change and quickly.’ Rampaging beach vehicles have already been blamed for the disappearance of a breeding pair of extremely rare beach stone-curlews and nests of leatherback and green turtles have been destroyed. A consortium of community groups have banded together to monitor the situation to try and get the message across to visitors to take it easy.

straight with their ad campaign against restrictions on the pokies. If we’re not going to be allowed to make huge profits out of the poor and foolish, what is the world coming to? For a different point of view, see www.getup. org.au/files/campaigns/getuppokies1500x1026.jpg. ■ ■ ■ ■

A push by some Gold Coast City councillors to transform major areas on the coastal strip into urban greenspace is currently being considered and we wonder if Tweed Shire Council will ever be so enlightened. The recent history of Tweed Council shows it’s not so green when it comes to the environment, unlike the Gold Coast which has woken up to the fact that parks and green space are actually undervalued as a means of maintaining health and wellbeing. The Gold Coast plan is for a greening program to create tree-lined boulevards, ■ ■ ■ ■ signature landscaping, rejuveThank goodness the pubs and nated parks and streetscapes clubs are setting the public to deliver significant social,

environmental and financial benefits and improve the ‘liveability’ of the city. Mayor Ron Clarke said cities around the world like Paris and Singapore understood the ‘far-reaching benefits of quality public open spaces and beautiful, green streets for their own residents and for tourism’. Cr Clarke said research had shown that green and attractive residential areas helped build stronger, safer and more cohesive communities and the use of parks improved physical and mental health. Does the Tweed first have to be overdeveloped like the Gold Coast was initially before it too realises the importance of green space? ■ ■ ■ ■
