Terranora housing project ‘a disaster’
Broadway comes to the Tweed
Residents fear impacts from high traffic volumes, tiny lot sizes, inadequate buffers and three-storey homes, many of them on steep hillsides. Steve Spencer

Tweed Valley’s 56th annual Banana Festival will hit its straps this Saturday with the traditional parade through Murwillumbah’s CBD. This year’s festival theme ‘Musicals’ will see Saturday’s parade full of characters from Broadway shows such as The Wizard of Oz
MUSIC p10
and Grease and offer roadside viewers plenty of opportunities to dress up as their favourite on-stage identities. The parade will start from Murwillumbah’s showground at midday and snake through town to end at Knox Park where the annual Family Fun Day will take centre stage. continued on page 2
Outraged Terranora residents say Tweed Council’s controversial Area-E development blueprint for 1,800 multi-storey homes on the last remaining piece of prime agricultural land in the area is a ‘disaster’ set to heavily impact on them. Concerns include impacts from high traffic volumes, tiny lot sizes, inadequate buffers and three-storey homes, many of them on steep hillsides. Council is also proposing to change the Local Environment Plan (LEP) to allow fourstorey commercial buildings up to 19 metres high in the village centre part of the project. The plan is currently on public exhibition. A pamphlet circulating in the area warns residents the development would forever change their rural living lifestyle and amenity, urging them to lobby councillors and Tweed MP Geoff Provest. The 296-hectare project, which involves several large developers, is bounded by Mahers Lane, Terranora Road, Fraser Drive and the Terranora Broadwater, will eventually house 4,000-plus new shire residents. It was once prime agricultural land but was earmarked for housing two decades ago and rezoned by the NSW government in 2007. Richard Wright, a resident of Parkes Lane for 29 years, told council’s community access sesssion last week that he had been following the evolution of the project since the 1990s and that extensive community involvement had resulted in a 2005 development control plan (DCP) for the area. This plan had provided for a transition zone of 20 metres between the housing project and the adjoining area zoned 1C Rural, a minimum lot size of 600 square metres with average lots being 880 square metres; and no access from
the project to Terranora Drive, Fraser Drive or Market Parade. But Mr Wright said the current draft plan for Area E had lots as small as 250 square metres, no transitional zone and temporary or perhaps permanent access to Fraser Drive at the southeastern end of the development. ‘Also of concern to me and residents of Parkes Lane and Market Parade is the potential high level of traffic on these steep, narrow and winding roads, based on the unlikely construction of the Broadway Parkway,’ he said.
Road through wetland The route of the parkway is controversial with a push by developers to route a portion of it through a designated wetland to create extra house blocks, which if successful would likely lead to a challenge in the Land and Environment Court. Mr Wright said the final route of the parkway was described by council planners as ‘critical, essential and paramount’ to how the land release would unfold. ‘This would have me believe that the Broadwater Parkway’s location, design, connection and construction would need to be in place before any approval of the site development works could proceed,’ he said. The road route is likely to be decided by a vote of Tweed councillors later this year or early next year. Any later, and council risks the project’s approval being taken over by the NSW Department of Planning. Another Terranora local, Michael Connelly, said he was stunned that council planners had increased the yield of lots in the Fraser Drive area by including large tracts of ‘small continued on page 2

High Court rejects rates challenge Ken Sapwell
Tweed resident Terry Sharples’s long-running legal battle to overturn a series of council rate hikes reached the end of the line last week after he lost a High Court challenge. The court refused his appeal against a NSW Supreme Court decision upholding a Land and Environment Court ruling that the council’s controversial seven-year plan was above board despite critical flaws. In a major financial hit, it also rejected an appeal against costs on public interest grounds and ordered him to pay half the council’s legal bills, adding to an estimated $200,000 the
embattled accountant already owes following earlier court stoushes. Council staff have warned they intend to recoup the money. ‘The only comment council will be making is that costs have yet to be assessed. Council will be pursuing these costs and a report will be prepared for a future council meeting,’ a spokeswoman said. Mr Sharples, an accountant, could not be contacted for comment but said before the case he was already saddled with a lot of legal costs after losing other appeals and couldn’t afford any more. He began his legal crusade
after government-appointed council administrators won ministerial approval in 2006 for a series of compounding rate rises over seven years to fund a $118 million capital works splurge.
Council misled public Mr Sharples tried to have the plan voided on the grounds the council had misled the public and subsequently the minister by underplaying the real impact on ratepayers’ hip-pockets which would see some rates almost double by 2013. In 2008 the Land and Environment Court found that while the council had materially misled the public about
the true size of the increases and its community consultation process was flawed, it did not invalidate the minister’s approval of the plan. Mr Sharples, a community activist who has contested state elections in Queensland and NSW, is no stranger to the court process, having earlier played a leading role in the demise of One Nation founder, Pauline Hanson. In 1988 he took Ms Hanson to court for electoral fraud in what he says was a similar public-interest case, but in this instance he won a short-lived legal victory which saw her jailed and disgraced before she successfully appealed.

lot, medium-density, duplex, residential flat building, rowhouse, dual-occupancy’ allotments with a size as small as 250 square metres. ‘This may be fine for innercity living but we are talking about the prime land at Terranora,’ said Mr Connelly. ‘The big problem for us in Parkes Lane and Market Parade is that these small- and medium-density blocks are hard up against the rural living blocks that average well over 2,000 square metres. This will change the character of the area totally. ‘They also show Parkes Lane and Market Parade as through
roads to this overdevelopment. This can only lead to increased traffic through our peaceful rural living garden estate.’ Mr Connelly said the ‘overdevelopment’ could easily lead to many existing residents subdividing their 2,000 square metre properties and moving elsewhere. ‘That will be the start of the rot. Already the council DCP shows rural living blocks in Trutes Terrace subdivided into low-density 450 to 600 square metre blocks. The door has been opened.’ Council’s director of planning Vince Connell said the parkway had taken various routes during the planning
process, but council planners had recommended against placing it though the environmental protection zone. ‘The applicant believes he had a previous agreement with council,’ he said. Mr Connell said guidelines for the project would protect ‘significant bushland, wetlands and other land of high ecological value’. The plans can be viewed at council offices in Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads and at the Kingscliff library until August 26 or online at www.tweed. nsw.gov.au. Cr Katie Milne had unsuccessfully moved to extend the exhibition period for a month.

Council acts over illegal chook farm Steve Spencer
Tweed Shire Council is taking urgent legal action to shut down an unauthorised poultry farm which has upset neighbouring landowners at Cudgen. Councillors on Tuesday voted unanimously to act against owner, Dean Sikiric, who has already installed about 2,000 egg-laying chooks in two sheds he has built on his Cudgen Road property. The illegal farm has sparked a number of complaints by neighbours about pollution, noise and foul odours. Mr Sikiric had planned to bring in 10,000 more chooks, but cancelled the order after his farm received a visit from council staff. Council officers say Mr Sikiric does not live on the property and so ‘does not have to endure the daily impacts’ of the pollution which neighbours must endure ‘all day, every day’. Neighbour Martin Hanna says the stench is already sickening and he expects it to become a lot worse as the weather warms. ‘We can smell the chooks about half the time, depending on which way the wind is blowing, but we can hear them all the time,’ said Mr Hanna, a Westpac Rescue Helicopter pilot who has lived at Cudgen with his wife Liz for three years. ‘The noise starts early in the morning and keeps up until late in the afternoon. We can hear the chickens inside our home, even when we have the windows shut. ‘It is a sickening smell and it is only August. We found a dozen dead chickens on our property.’ Mr Hanna said he was also concerned about pollution washing into his dam, which is downstream from the chicken sheds. ‘Our children like to swim in the dam during summer, our alpacas drink from it and we irrigate our beans and sweet potatoes with the dam water,’ he said. Council staff say they told Mr Sikiric face to face and over the phone that council approv-

al would be needed to set up the poultry farm, but he built two large sheds anyway and filled them with about 2,000 chickens. Many of Mr Sikiric’s neighbours, some living as close as 120 metres away from the sheds, have complained about
Sikiric promised to lodge a development application (DA) for the egg farm and ‘provide a written response to council’s earlier “show cause” correspondence’, but no DA had yet been lodged. The council report said: ‘In view of the urgency of the issue,
The eggman speaks out Owner of the egg farm Dean Sikiric say he has been ‘completely terrorised’ by council staff. ‘We are just getting squashed. We had a 100 per cent guarantee that our property had agricultural protection. Now we have a couple of neighbours… who are trying to stop us,’ said the egg entrepreneur, who intends moving his operation from Toowoomba to Tweed Shire. ‘There shouldn’t be any dramas with it. I was told twice by council officers I wouldn’t need a DA.’
the noise and smell, and fear run-off from the farms will contaminate waterways. But during a meeting with council senior staff Mr Sikiric said he had ‘consulted with adjoining landowners most affected and they raised no objection’. Mr Sikiric was then asked to provide ‘written confirmation’ of his neighbours’ support. No such letter has been received by council. Council officers have called for legal action to remove the sheds, saying they also have concerns about the welfare of the chickens. On July 13 Mr Sikiric told the council he would be increasing his flock from 2,000 to 12,000 and erecting four more sheds. Council officers say Mr
the uncertainty about the welfare of the chickens and the resulting environmental impacts for surrounding properties legal action is recommended’. Mr Sikiric first approached council in December last year seeking advice about setting up a poultry farm, but was told the business would be classified as an ‘animal establishment’ needing a DA. A consultant working for Mr Sikiric met with council officers on June 22 this year asking what length of buffer zone would be needed around the chicken sheds. The consultant was told that the 500-metre buffer zones needed around his sheds meant Mr Sikiric’s property was too small to get approval;
and while he was welcome to lodge a DA it would almost certainly be turned down. Just days later council officers arrived at the farm to discover two ‘virtually complete’ chicken sheds. ‘They had clearly been constructed well before Mr Sikiric’s consultant had approached the council two days earlier’, said the council report. The officers told Mr Sikiric his sheds were about three times the size allowed under council or NSW government laws without special approval. Mr Sikiric then told the council officers 10,000 more chickens were due to arrive at his property the next day. Since then complaints from neighbours about the unauthorised egg farm include the stench from the farm, the noise from dawn to dusk, red sludge found in a nearby dam, and dead chickens on neighbouring properties. Other residents are known to be concerned about the effect on the value of their properties, with one home up for sale just 120 metres away from the chicken farm. At Wednesday’s council meeting none of the councillors spoke up in defence of the poultry farm, with deputy mayor Barry Longland describing it as a ‘blatant breach of the rules’.

A new business in Cabarita is making waves among local surfers. The surf-art gallery opened its doors in Pandanus Parade recently and instantly added something special to the picturesque seaside town. Photographer Paget Thomson (pictured) and his wife Anita recently opened surf-art gallery Coastal Visions Photography which is full of surfing images of the area. Surfers, paddle and body boarders interested in getting their efforts caught on camera need to look out for a large teardrop-shaped sign which Paget places near the location where he is shooting. A further sign on the path leading to the beach tells people Paget is ‘on the job’. While Paget spends most of his time on the beach and takes up to 1,200 action shots
per session, Anita sorts the images and ensures the photos are available for customers to view and buy. Moments after the surfers have dried themselves, they can visit the gallery, take a seat on the couch and have a good look at the photos on a big screen. The couple got the idea for the business while in Mexico and Costa Rica. Paget took photos of tourists surfing and displayed the images in the couple’s beach hut. His work proved to be very popular and when the couple returned home to Australia they decided to combine Paget’s skills with Anita’s business acumen to start the gallery. Paget covers the area between Fingal Head and Pottsville and operates whenever there’s a decent swell. The shop also offers wedding and family photography. Photo Jeff Dawson
Rezoning bid again fails Steve Spencer
Pro-development faction leader Cr Warren Polglase has vowed to continue his campaign to fast-track a rezoning bid for the expansion of Tweed City shopping centre. A second attempt by the veteran councillor to push the rezoning up the council planning work-list failed at Tuesday’s council meeting, only a month after councillors knocked back Cr Polglase’s first bid to queue jump the rezoning. Cr Dot Holdom questioned the validity of Cr Polglase’s move, saying rescission motions should include ‘some fresh information’ but she didn’t think that had been the case. ‘We do not need to do this now. We have a responsibility to get things right,’ Cr Holdom said. Cr Joan van Lieshout also said she was not going to change her mind. ‘Retail growth at the moment is about one per cent. The retail market is not going ahead as we would like. I would like to see growth spread over the businesses we already have to make small businesses sustainable. We need to consolidate,’ she said. Cr Katie Milne said the coun-
cil’s planning department was ‘completely choc-a-bloc’ and 90 per cent of Tweed City’s land was able to be redeveloped ‘right now’. The rezoning is scheduled to be dealt with by council planners during the 2012/2013 work list, but Cr Polglase wants it pushed up the list as far as possible. He said he would fight on to fast-track the rezoning because future employment opportunities could be lost. Cr Polglase said that until the land was rezoned, Tweed City ‘could not do a damned thing’. ‘It is a long process. Even if they [council planners] started work right now it could be three or four years before a brick could be laid. Any delay and it could be five years,’ he said. Mayor Kevin Skinner backed Cr Polglase, saying he would support anything that could be done to boost employment in the shire. Deputy mayor Barry Longland said it was not true, as suggested by one newspaper, that council planners were ‘just too busy to deal with this’. He said he could not see any reason why the rezoning should be pushed ahead of other projects.

Council pushes CSG ban Steve Spencer
It may not have any legal power, but Tweed Shire Council is moving ahead will its opposition to coal-seam gas (CSG) exploration in the shire, with a moratorium placed on exploration on council-owned land. In a move initiated by Greens councillor Katie Milne, councillors voted unanimously this week to push forward with the symbolic ban. Last month councillors voted to send a submission to the NSW government saying the Tweed community had serious concerns about coal-seam gas exploration in the shire. Councillors also asked staff to examine whether they could attempt to ban the controversial mining practice as with
similar actions by NSW councils including, Byron, Ballina Lismore, Kyogle, Clarence, Rous, Moree and Sydney City. They have since been told that ‘there are potential benefits to publicise Tweed’s objections to exploration in the shire, at least until the full environmental and social impacts of the exploration are understood and able to be controlled’. In reality council has little authority to halt mining exploration, which is protected by state laws. ‘It is difficult to provide clear guidance on the likely effectiveness or legality of council imposing a moratorium over its land given the uncertainty surrounding the very recent changes and proposed changes to the legislation,’ the report said.

Tweed supports its favourite Kenyans

Story & photo Albert Elzinga
Last weekend’s charity soccer tournament in aid of a Kenyan teenager adopted by a Tweed family doubled up as a farewell to one of the key people behind a Tweed-Kenya water project helping poor rural villagers. Around 100 people took part in the ‘Great Nairobi/Tweed Kenyan Six-a-Side Tournament’ at Murwillumbah’s Jim Devine Soccer Field to raise funds for Sam Macharia and farewell for Tweed Kenya Mentoring Program coordinator Olita Ongonjo, who will soon return to Kenya after attaining a Masters degree in integrated water management at the University of Queensland. Orphaned early in life, Sam experienced a complete change of fortune following a chance meeting with Olita in Kenya and came to Murwillumbah in 2006 to stay with host family, Bernie and Sandra Zietlow. Sam is now a much-loved member of the family and hopes to remain in Australia to pursue a career as a professional soccer player. The tournament raised hun-

selfish play and skilful passing gave his team a winning edge.

Parliament takes aim at council conduct code again Luis Feliu
NSW Upper House MPs have again poured scorn over the ‘vindictive’ misuse of Tweed Council’s controversial code of conduct, which they say was used to silence or persecute outspoken councillors. The attack followed the adoption by parliament’s privileges committee last week of Cr Dot Holdom’s citizen’s right of reply dealing with claims by Liberal MLC Marie Ficarra in parliament last year. Ms Ficarra had accused Cr Holdom of being involved in a campaign of vilification and politically motivated complaints against former mayor Joan van Lieshout. In her reply to the committee, Cr Holdom said the ‘unfounded accusations’ were widely reported and had ‘sul-
EACH
lied my personal reputation and character and impugned my reputation and standing in the community’. In June this year, council general manager Mike Rayner also won his bid for a similar right of reply to Ms Ficarra’s claims that he was also involved in the campaign against Cr van Lieshout. But last Thursday, both Ms Ficarra and Greens MP David Shoebridge welcomed a review of the code of conduct announced by the government and repeated their claims it was being misused. Ms Ficarra said she supported a citizen’s right to respond to matters raised in parliament but ‘I also believe in the rights of Members of Parliament to have freedom of speech and privilege so that we can do our jobs without fear or retribution’.
She said it was the duty of the privileges committee to receive such responses from citizens ‘but not to make any determination as to the accuracy of the citizen’s reply’. ‘In relation to Cr Holdom’s comments that no evidence was provided to support allegations made, I advise the House that it would have been inappropriate and improper for me to disclose the identities of people who provided evidence to me which prompted my comments,’ she told parliament. Ms Ficarra also said the government review of the code ‘could not come soon enough for the many councillors across the state who have complained of being improperly persecuted under the code of conduct due to political motivations, as well as in
relation to the misuse of ratepayers’ moneys used to pursue such matters’. Mr Shoebridge said the manner in which the code was used in councils such as Tweed Council was a matter of genuine public interest and congratulated the government for the review.

The health reforms, hopelessly compromised from Rudd’s grand plan, have been derided as expensive and ineffective. The mining tax remains stalled. And of course the carbon tax, in spite of all the advertising, is still very much on the nose. The bland, indeed soporific document thrust upon households along with their census forms was so low key as to be almost subsonic. What a Carbon Price Means for You bids fair to become the most unread publication since The Wit and Wisdom of Alexander Downer.

The only moment of unease came when Tony Abbott, the miners’ champion, mused that farmers really should be able to lock the prospectors for coalseam gas out of their properties. His resources minister Ian Macfarlane was quick to say that his leader did not really mean what he said at all and that the law would take its course, but Gillard and her colleagues must have once again been grateful that Abbott, and not Hockey, let alone Malcolm Turnbull, is leading the Liberal Party. According to the remorseless polling, he is the only thing that is keeping them in the race. They need to nurture and cosset him, not tear him down. This was the great mis-
take Gough Whitlam made: he did such a good job destroying Bill Snedden in parliament that the Libs finally gave in and replaced him with the hated Malcolm Fraser. And that was the beginning of the end; the frogs had rejected King Log and been given King Stork. It is to be hoped that in a similarly parlous situation a generation later, Labor has learnt its lesson. Love and embrace the Mad Monk – he’s your only hope.

nd as a footnote, let me record that I have been grossly verballed by The Australian’s Sneer-and-Smear section, Cut and Paste. Okay, so I’m not Robinson Crusoe, but this was a particularly sleazy exercise by the paper’s anonymous crapulator. By selective cutting he/she/it removed all my criticism of The Australian from last week’s column and re-edited it as a paean of praise. In response I sent the following missive: Given The Australian’s constant self-obsession I always expected that this week’s column in The Drum would earn a mention in the Sneer and Smear column aka Cut and Paste. But even I was impressed by the lavishness of malice and dishonesty in the way it was selectively quoted. At least the treatment confirms two long-held suspicions: the paper’s much (recently) paraded Code of Journalistic Ethics, is, like John Howard’s Code of Ministerial Conduct, purely optional; and The Australian’s paranoid need for self-justification is now completely off the planet.

Sudding up
I just had to write in and say how upset I am at the number of people who wash their cars in the driveway and stand by as the soap suds run along the gutter into the creek! Don’t they care about our waterways? Lately I’ve been getting ear infections from Hastings Point Creek mouth where I love to surf. This is where the water flows out from Seabreeze estate where I see people every day washing cars in driveways, as I deliver goods in this area. What’s wrong with the grass? Hopefully people guilty of this will understand my concerns. Paul Camenzind

Another dam tax
Minister Katrina Hodgkinson, the new NSW Minister for Primary Industries who is reviewing how the previous government came to its decision to uphold the prohibition on a dam on Byrrill Creek, has given her personal assurance
Calling in the pokie porkies n In claiming I want Australians to sign up for a licence to punt, the poker machine industry has adopted a licence to lie. An estimated 95,000 Australians are poker machine problem gamblers and another 95,000 are at risk of becoming so. Between five and 10 people are affected by each problem gambler. Of the 600,000 Australians who play poker machines weekly 15 per cent are problem gamblers. They lose almost $5 billion each year. Problem gamblers routinely lose everything including their jobs, family and friends, homes, minds and sometimes even their lives. Under the reforms, poker machines will be fitted with mandatory pre-commitment. This simply means players set limits on their losses before they start gambling and further play stops when they reach those limits. Low-intensity poker ma-
chines will also be rolled out with $1 maximum bets. These machines will not be fitted with mandatory pre-commitment. Parliament is set to pass the necessary laws by May and pokies venues will be given until the end of 2014 to comply. Venues with 15 machines or less will be given until 2018. Most poker machine players won’t notice a difference. Many are used to carrying loyalty cards similar to precommitment cards. And the 88 per cent of Australians who gamble $1 or less a spin can play the low-intensity machines without a card. Three-quarters of Australians support these affordable reforms which are consistent with the recommendations of the Federal Productivity Commission. Claims that clubs, pubs and casinos will have to fork out huge sums to install pre-commitment on all their machines are simply not true. The pokies industry should
that there will be no decision on the matter without community consultation. Thank you, minister, for listening to the myriad of letters pleading for a community voice in this important decision. In her recent letter to me, Minister Hodgkinson intelligently clarifies, ‘In the event that the Tweed community does decide to proceed, council, as the proponent, would be required to satisfy all relevant planning and environment legislation, including federal legislation if that were to be triggered.’ The federal government has already contacted Tweed Shire Council to advise them about the potential application of the EPBC Act. How much money will be wasted on this quixotic venture? Mayor Skinner says, ‘just like a second tank’. I say, ‘just like another tax’.
Leaks in the gas story n Like a lot of others I am very
worried about coal-seam gas (CSG) mining on our beloved north coast. I for one am nervous that this industry will destroy so much of what is important about our area. This was why I was relieved to hear what seemed like all parties’ support for further investigation into the industry to see if it is safe and to see if it would destroy the local environment. Much to my surprise, I now read that the CSG companies make significant donations to the Liberal and National parties. In fact one of the leading companies who want to drill over 550 oil wells has former National party leader and former deputy prime minister John Anderson as one of its Miranda Mills chairmen. What a joke! How can we Mount Burrell More letters overleaf possibly trust that O’Farrell,
stop scaring its members and staff about these reforms. Mandatory pre-commitment will help problem gamblers without unduly affecting any club that does not have a heavy reliance on problem gamblers. Andrew Wilkie MP

May I bring it to your attention that the newly proposed gambling card might be a win situation for the punters. Using cards as proof of payment of GST paid on gambling habits when claiming a tax deduction which no doubt they will. I presume that one would only need to provide their card number and their collection of meal and sundry dockets claiming for all expenses incurred while in the act of paying tax. Madame Julia will love this, to employ more public servants to process it.

I write in regard to the story about the Kingscliff erosion written by Luis Feliu and published on August 11. My sisterin-law who lives in the Tweed region brought my attention to the article. I am a retired coastal engineer of 40 years’ experience in all states of Australia and on many overseas projects. I was the principal investigator and author of the Byron Bay– Hastings Point Erosion Study, a 228 page indepth scientific study of erosion in that region, published in 1978, which predicted the problems currently being experienced at Belongil Beach. Subsequently I supervised a similar study carried out by Will Strachan entitled Dreamtime Beach Coastal Engineering Advice which analysed the coastal processes centred on the region Cudgen Headland to Fingal Head (aka Kingscliff ). This 68-page scientific report analysed the coastal process and predicted the erosion being experienced today.
The report was released in March 1980, over 30 years ago! Upon its release Tweed Shire Council requested I front a public meeting at the Kingscliff Bowling Club because of the perceived controversial nature of the findings of the report. I can’t remember now whether it was Max Boyd or Peter Border who requested my presence, but it was one or the other (both took the study seriously and were supportive of the community being apprised of the findings). While Will was present (and did most of the work for the report, a point which I have always recognised; I was supervisor/reviewer), I was requested to front the rather aggressive crowd as I was the more experienced coastal engineer and had been one of the architects of the then new,NSW government’s Coastal Protection Act. I can recall it was an ‘exciting’ night but the community at the time recognised the thoroughness of the study
and the potential for the predictions to eventuate… as did the council who subsequently adopted planning measures in accordance with the report. My team later filled in the gap between the two studies with the Bogangar Beach Coastal Engineering Advice, a 58-page report issued in January, 1982 – again about 30 years ago! I won’t bore you with further detail but I still have a copy of each study, even if the state and the council have lost theirs. They are relevant to your article and interesting to read three decades on. It would seem true that ‘those who fail to study history are bound to repeat it’ which I believe someone much wiser than me once said. Unfortunately the state has divested itself of the expertise to manage/solve coastal problems and the council of course relies on the state to provide ‘expertise’ on such matters. Interestingly, the minister’s advisory ‘Coastal Panel’ does not even include anyone with
coastal engineering experience! It is no wonder the minister doesn’t understand the problem, nor the magnitude of management actions required. There is much more to the Kingscliff Beach story and the current state position on coastal management than seems to be in the public domain, although I hasten to add that the present Liberal government has not necessarily come ‘up to speed’ with the actions, or lack thereof, of the immediate past Labor government.
No credit for Labor
ment which pervaded Labor’s response. Labor’s stimulus did help somewhat, but at an unreasonable cost. Australia survived the GFC primarily because Labor inherited a very healthy economy, the legacy from Hawke/Keating and Howard/ Costello. Treasurer Swan was not saved by his own efforts. He was rescued by his inheritance which included a substantial surplus, the world’s soundest banks, the world’s best-regulated financial system, and trade with China.
tion based on the figures we have been given by our sister com.orgs that population ‘explicit’ is at the heart of climate change projections for the following 65 years. By ‘explicit’ we mean a term that can be exchanged for the less ‘scary’ word ‘imminent’. What this means to all the livers and providers of planet earth is that there are too many of us. We face a ‘limited future’ – the title of our paper as published on www.science.org. Of course such an objection can only normally be made in the confines of an orderly arrangement, without there being the real fear of possible reactionary means aimed at dismantling the illimitable ISO goals. It remains to be seen if these goals can ever be undertaken, given the nature of an independent thinking democracy in the modern world. To get to the quick of this (I am only allowed a couple of hundred words and have already used three), some future culling of habitat and life may be necessary. At first we laughed at this proposal; only when shown the possible demographic solution could we make a proper academic response. Cannibalism has been a part of many societies throughout the world before. Although it is
deemed to be a ‘tribal’ compromise in some of these societies – when other food sources were found wanting – or taboo to those of us brought up in a Christian background and faced with a culture of change and resulting shock, the actual remedial meaning of this has more to it than just ‘nature’. The proffering of human meat for consumption has helped many such societies to continue through the greater part of millennia faced with similar problems that we face today. Of course such a practice cannot be made ad hoc. Systems need to be put into place that allow for the democratic proportioning of future life, as it pertains to future ecological needs. In the short term it might seem unlikely that such a remedy could be arrived at; but as time goes on, and we further face the greatest ‘imminent’ or ‘explicit’ crisis of all time, if some are to afford the allocated energy needs of a family consistent with a realisable carbon footprint, then others must make the necessary compromise. Only through talk now can the future of the planet, and all its creatures, be deemed possible.

Green Scene TAPHOUSE CELLARS For a long time the wines of the Barossa were dominated by large companies such as Penfolds and Jacobs Creek. Despite being dominated by these large companies, the heart of Barossa Valley wines has always been the families of grape growers who have tended to their vines for generations. One such family is the Kalleske family, who have been growing grapes at their property near Greenock since 1853. For many years the Kalleskes sold all their grapes off to the big companies and they gained a reputation for such high-quality grapes that eventually they wound up supplying their best grapes to Penfolds to go into their iconic Grange. In 2004 they decided to start producing their own range of high-quality wines. Today the Kalleskes still have grape vines dating back to 1875 which are thriving thanks to their use of organic and biodynamic practices. Having cared for their patch of the Barossa for so long, the Kalleskes believe that healthier soil and vineyards makes for better wine and the proof is in the bottle. From
their flagship Johann George Shiraz down to their beautiful Chenin Blanc, their wines show an intensity and purity of fruit that you simply won’t find in mass-produced plonk. We have several Kalleske wines in store along with a large range of organic and biodynamically produced wines available now.

TYALGUM FESTIVAL OF CLASSICAL MUSIC 2011 he Tyalgum Festival of Classical Music presents an innovative program celebrating the finest music in an inspirational setting. Under the theme of ‘Music, Art and Nature in Australia’s Green Cauldron’ the festival takes place in the small hinterland village of Tyalgum annually on the first weekend in September. Featuring seven concerts in the Tyalgum Hall, and fringe events around the village, the Festival presents acclaimed performers, from winners of international music competitions, chamber ensembles, young and emerging artists, and outstanding representatives of musical cultures from around the world. Over 20 years the Tyalgum Festival has established a reputation for excellence in musicianship and programming and has inspired the creation of new works by some of the country’s most respected composers. The 100-year-old village hall, with its excellent acoustics, provides an intimate venue for performance and enjoyment of classical music. The event enjoys strong local support, and includes nature walks, talks and fringe events which complement the three days of concerts and showcase the region’s art and natural beauty. Music Director Jenni Hibbard aims to provide ‘music that is both appealing and sometimes challenging… a program that is unique to this festival, featuring groups and musical choices that come together specially for the occasion; a program that flows easily from one concert to the next so that the whole weekend has a lyricism of its own.’ The result is a memorable experience, a meeting of art and the environment that brings visitors back time and again.

The real facts about the Government’s carbon pricing
Phone: 1300 720 675
Message from Justine Scientific evidence has confirmed our planet is warming. And after years of debate and deliberation, most Australians agree the time to act is now. Australians want to do the right thing by the environment. We are a confident, creative nation that’s up to the challenges of tackling climate change.
Big polluters will pay not families The carbon price will be paid by around 500 of the biggest polluters in Australia. It is not a tax on ordinary Australians. Polluters will pay for the pollution they are causing.
All the money raised will go to jobs, households and building a clean energy future The Government’s tax cuts and increased payments are targeted at those who need them most. The Government will stand up for pensioners, low and middle-income earners and families doing it tough. 9 out of 10 households will get a combination of tax cuts and increased payments.
Carbon pricing will cut pollution and drive investment in clean energy The Gillard Government’s plan will cut carbon pollution and drive investment in clean energy technologies and infrastructure like solar, gas and wind. It will help build the clean energy future Australians deserve. And it won’t just help us – it will help our children and our grand children. It will cut 160 million tonnes of pollution – the equivalent of taking 45 million cars off our roads.
The rest of the world is acting The rest of the world is acting and Australia can’t afford to remain a big polluter in the low pollution world of tomorrow.
That’s why the Federal Government is implementing a comprehensive plan for a clean energy future for our nation. Under this plan, Australia will cut at least 160 million tonnes a year of carbon pollution from our atmosphere in 2020. That is the equivalent of taking over 45 million cars off the road. Australia’s biggest polluters, not households, pay the carbon price. The revenue raised will support investment in renewable energy, protect jobs and help households with tax cuts and increased payments. Taxpayers in Richmond earning $80,000 or less will all get a tax cut, most will get at least $300 per year. Carbon pricing is a reform we need to keep our economy competitive, to protect our environment and do the right thing for our children and future generations. Yours sincerely,
JUSTINE ELLIOT MP FEDERAL MEMBER FOR RICHMOND
INSIDE: Delivering a clean energy future for Australia
Household assistance for Richmond
JUSTINE ELLIOT MP
FEDERAL MEMBER FOR RICHMOND
Delivering a clean energy futur Supporting low income households Through tax cuts and increases to Government payments, all low income households will be provided assistance that covers at least 100 per cent of their expected average impact of the introduction of the carbon price. Many will be better off. Some low-income households might not receive enough assistance through tax cuts or Government payments to offset their average expected cost impact under a carbon price. These households will be able to claim the new $300 annual Low Income Supplement to ensure they receive enough assistance as they adjust to changes in their costs of living after the carbon price is introduced.
Small business Small businesses will not be required to pay a carbon price. Small businesses will not have to count or monitor their carbon pollution or electricity use. They will not have to fill in a single form as part of the carbon price reform. The impact of a carbon price on small business will vary and most small businesses will not be significantly affected. Small business will see benefits flow from an increase to the small business instant asset write-off thresholds to $6,500. This boost to the threshold will help increase cash flow, which assists growth and investment in new assets, some of which could be more energy efficient.
Tax reform The Government will provide an $8 billion tax reform package, including $7 billion of tax cuts, from 1 July 2012 targeted at low and middle-income earners. Around 60 per cent of all taxpayers will get a tax cut of at least $300 from 1 July 2012. Every taxpayer up to $80,000 will get a tax cut, and no one will pay more tax. The tax cuts will be delivered through major structural reform that increases the tax free threshold from $6,000 to $18,200. This means over one million more Australians will no longer need to fill in a tax return.
Carers and people with a disability More than one million Australians with disability and carers will receive household assistance through their Disability Support Pension or Carer Payment. This will cover at least the expected average increase in living costs that results from the introduction of a carbon price.
People with essential medical equipment needs People holding a Commonwealth concession card who have high home energy costs because they rely on essential medical equipment will also be able to claim the Essential Medical Equipment Payment of $140 through Centrelink. This is in addition to their other assistance. This extra payment is to make sure they to not face extra costs for using their medical equipment under the carbon price.
AUGUST 2011
re for Australia Support for working Australians Around 86 per cent of tax payers in Richmond will receive tax cuts with the vast majority receiving a tax cut of at least $300. The tax cut will be permanent. From 2015-16, further permanent tax cuts will provide assistance for a floating carbon price to at least the end of the decade.

Students and job seekers Self-funded retirees Senior Australians who are self-funded retirees and hold a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card will receive an additional payment with their Seniors Supplement. This will be worth $338 for singles and $255 for each eligible member of a couple.
To assist students with the expected impact of carbon pricing on their cost of living, student allowances such as Youth Allowance, Austudy and Abstudy will increase by an amount equal to 1.7 per cent of the maximum rate. Students in part-time work and jobseekers who find a job will also receive tax cuts. A person earning $25,000 per year will get a tax cut of around $523 per year from 1 July 2012.
In addition, self-funded retirees may also be eligible for tax cuts.
Pensioners to receive advance payment More than 3 million Australian pensioners will receive household assistance to help them with increased living costs as a result of the introduction of a carbon price. Pensioners will receive assistance through a Clean Energy Advance and a Clean Energy Supplement connected to their pension. Part-rate pensioners who pay tax may also be eligible for tax assistance. The Clean Energy Advance will be paid as an up-front and tax exempt lump sum payment of up to $250 for a single and $190 for each eligible member of a couple. This payment will be provided to pensioners in May-June 2012 to help meet additional costs for the nine months from 1 July 2012 to when the first instalment of the new Clean Energy Supplement is paid from March 2013.

Household assistance for Richmond What Richmond residents can expect Working together for a clean energy future The science is clear – our planet is warming We know that the warming is changing our climate: causing sea levels to rise; meaning that there will be more days of extreme heat; meaning that we are at risk of more bushfires and droughts; meaning that great icons like the Great Barrier Reef are at risk. That warming is caused by carbon pollution, by human activity, and we need to cut carbon pollution.
More than 29,900 pensioners in Richmond will receive an extra $338 extra per year if they are single and up to $510 per year for couples combined, in their pension payments. More than 12,700 families in Richmond will receive household assistance (up to $110 per eligible child for families receiving the Family Tax Benefit A and up to $69 per year in assistance for families receiving the Family Tax Benefit B). More than 2100 self-funded retirees in Richmond will receive an extra $338 per year in assistance for singles and up to $510 per year for couples combined.
More than 6600 Jobseekers in Richmond will get up to $218 extra per year for singles and $390 per year for couples combined. More than 2900 single parents in Richmond will get an extra $289 per year. More than 3,200 students in Richmond will get up to $177 extra per year. The amount they get will depend on their rate and type of payment. In total, more than 51,600 people in Richmond will receive household assistance through the transfer system. On top of this, taxpayers in Richmond with annual income of under $80,000 will all get a tax cut, with most receiving at least $300 per year.
The Gillard Government is taking action to tackle climate change by putting a price on pollution and assisting business and house holds transition to a clean energy future. “I’m proud to be part of a government that is taking action to tackle climate change and build Australia’s clean energy future,” Justine Elliot said. “The carbon price is not a tax on households — around 500 of the biggest polluters in Australia will be required to pay for their pollution under the carbon pricing mechanism.” “And every dollar raised will go to support jobs, households and to invest in clean energy and climate change programs.” “Nine out of 10 households will receive assistance through a combination of tax cuts, higher family payments and increases in pensions and benefits.”

VAMPIRE KILLER N BI UM RR CU Two albums, several naSOUNDLOUNGE tional tours and gigs at maFRIDAY jor festivals followed, with highlight performances including support slots for The Black Keys, The Hold Steady and The Violent Femmes. Only one of the three members lives in a house – the others stay with their friends, girlfriends, parents, friends’ parents and girlfriends’ parents. One day they’d all like to live in Spain. The Vasco Era’s third album, independently released in October this year, captures the band in their prime. ‘Child Bearing Hips’ is the first single from The Vasco Era’s self-titled album. Their debut studio album Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside was released in 2007, paving the way to write and record their critically acclaimed second album, Lucille. Released through Universal, Lucille came to life after 18 months of writing when the band teamed up with producer Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, The Temper Trap, The Presets and Little Red). ‘Utter Brilliance, they are, in one word, perfection.’ (Beat Magazine).

Multi-award-winning Australian Entertainer Steve Cummins is the only tribute artist in the world to have featured on the same program as the man himself. It was live to air on the UK’s BBC radio program Beautiful Noise (The Neil Diamond Story), to over three million listeners.

question time This Tuesday past, citizens of Australia were expected to fill out the Census. There was a collective groan around the nation as households scrabbled for a pen, struggling to recall where they were living on 9 August 2006. Some complained about the invasion of privacy; pot smokers feared it was Big Brother trying to find out where they lived (like Centrelink, the Tax Department and Facebook don’t already have every shred of information there is to know); while others dutifully checked the appropriate boxes with a compliant slash. As an information tool the Census is very inadequate. Every five years the government has this unique opportunity to gather information about the populace and they blew it again. This is nationwide Q&A! So they know where we live, who we’re rooting, how much we earn, but in the scheme of things, when it comes to running a country, developing policy and shaping a nation, it’s insufficient. I see the Census as an important ‘getting to know you’ tool and frankly I want to be asked more interesting questions. There are much more important questions that should have appeared on the Census, questions that give a feel for a nation’s pulse, our predilections, our prejudice and our pretensions. Do you support the Carbon Tax? Do you believe in Climate Change? If not, why? Do you have a problem processing information? Do you drink Coffee? If so is it a latte, a flat white, a soy dandy chino, or other… please specify. That question alone would establish whether or not the person was a wanker or not and by establishing who was on the dandy drink statisticians would be able to declare ‘20 per cent of Australians are in fact complete nobs’. This is very useful information. What about a question that established the real level of our empathy and compassion: What criteria do you think Australia should use to accept refugees? White? Christian? Big
www.tweedecho.com.au
Tits? Crikey, not another boat load of Poms! Or where do you think Australia should hold its refugees while they are being processed? Malaysia? The Moon? Movieworld? Bangalow? (I had put Grafton but that is against the Human Rights Convention as it bans torture under all circumstances.) How about something topical like: What do you think about the Dalai Lama’s appearance on MasterChef? Is he a media slut? Was he just hungry? Or was he planning a Tibetan version where they turn the tables and only eat Chinese? What about a question about Shane Warne? What do you think of Warne’s new look? Hot? Medium? Mild? Sad? Oh no, he’s turned into Simone? Why not ask questions about how people are feeling? Let’s get right to the point. Are you happy with your life? Are you happy with your wife? Are you disappointed in your children? Are you disappointed in yourself? What size is your penis? Small. Medium. Large. X Large? What size was your penis on 9 August 2006? And for the ladies, have you ever considered labioplasty? Why, are your labias obstructive to free movement? Are you a complete moron? Or did you wake up one day and go, you know what, I know why my life is in the toilet, why I can’t keep a relationship, why no one likes me and why things are unmanageable. It’s got nothing to do with my choices, or my circumstance, it’s my labia! So, in five years from now I expect a thorough spiritual, emotional, physical and philosophical interrogation. Otherwise I’ll suggest our government get more accurate and gather their information the way superior beings such as aliens do – through a very simple and efficient anal probe.

stars WITH LILITH
This exasperating but still curiously heart-opening week expands the I/me/ mine attitude that’s dominated recent perspectives…
ARIES: This week’s stars recommend comfort shopping if you need to. Sleeping late if you feel like it. Reflective self-examination even if you don’t feel like it. And attending to what needs repairing, because breakdowns during this astro-passage can cost a fortune to fix. TAURUS: If you feel like your status is starting to resemble a five letter word rhyming with yuk, this week could rocket you right out of that rut you’re stuck in. How? Unexpected news. A blast from the past. A glimpse of your future. A stunning reality check… GEMINI: This week’s a beauty for brainstorming solutions to financial limitations, mending friendships, building bridges and lavishing affection on whatever’s been neglected.

concern, recognition, praise or appreciation could miraculously transform cranky situations, so share those feelings you think but usually don’t think to express. CANCER: This week’s broader spectrum, bigger picture perspective lightens your attitude towards retro Mercury’s stuffups, letdowns, lost docs and crossed wires. We all venture into Club Confused occasionally, but there’s no need to take out membership. If nothing’s going right, try going left. LEO: As this week’s dominant species, your glam majesties are performing royally. Of course you’re hot – but also quite ignitable, so be careful around fires, heating appliances, inflammatory situations, incendiary altercations, high temperature

anything. A blaze of glory’s impressive, but ashes aren’t attractive. VIRGO: With this week’s people beyond stubborn, it’s you who’ll have to adapt. Your Virgo curse and blessing is the blueprint of perfection, so when you think someone else is wrong you suffer. Once you realise it all begins with you, there’s nothing you can’t change. LIBRA: If this week’s disapproving attitudes are unsettling, it’s just old retro Mercury running interference again. People behaving badly? That’s their business, don’t make it yours. Choose charm over the drama button et voila! even this unpromising week has pleasant surprises hidden behind the cosmic curtain.

SCORPIO: With this week amping up the stubbornness factor, determined attitudes are likely to meet equally resistant opposition. If you’ve been repeating yourself and getting nowhere, change your strategy. Rather than frustrated and furious, be flexible – instead of locking horns, find common ground and negotiate. SAGITTARIUS: Outrageously entertaining is this week’s favourite flavour, so don’t let arrogant attitudes rattle you – the force is with whoever can control their emotional responses. Don’t underestimate the value of style either, because right now it’s not what you do but the way you do it. CAPRICORN: This week’s iron-willed people will want you doing it their way – as if. But you can

wrestle the best from the present transit by paying a debt, sorting a disagreement or making amends where you need to, because that could be as good as this week gets... AQUARIUS: This week positively percolates with potential. But at the same time, reality bites. Hard. As in having to make some tough choices. But listen to other people’s concerns, needs and ideas and coming to an understanding could be much easier than you might imagine. PISCES: Security issues whispering that you don’t have enough? All energy attracts more of the same kind, so ask yourself this week is this really what you want more of? Better to thank existence for what you’ve already been given and attract more of that.

ing Russian in the old USSR and went to university with Filatov, could not believe his luck, claiming unconvincingly that ‘It’s good to have a neutral venue.’ n Canberra’s Emma Guo pulled off the following amazing swindle against local girl Shekhar Madhurima in the World Girls Championship in Chennai.
In the diagrammed position, Guo, White, is much worse but decided to gamble on 36.Rxf7!!? hxg3 37.Rxb7! This seems to be suicidal, since after 37...gxf2+ 38.Kxf2 Black can line up the White queen for capture with 38...Rf8?? But just when Black believed the game was decided in her favour, Guo turned the tables with the spectacular 39.Qxf8+!! Kxf8 40.Rh8++ It was little consolation to Madhurima when she was shown that she could have won with her own sacrifice via 38... Rg2+!! 39.Qxg2 Rf8+ 40.Kg1 and now the move Madhurima had missed, 40...Qb1+!! with checkmate to follow. a

Sport equipment for schools Where have all the fishies gone? Registrations have opened for the annual Coles Sports for Schools program, giving Banora and Tweed schools the opportunity to score brand new sports gear. Last year, 12 local schools got involved over the two-month campaign. With the help of thousands of customers and Coles team members, Banora and Tweed collected enough
vouchers for local schools to redeem free sports equipment. The most popular items ordered by Banora and Tweed schools were cricket sets, soccer balls and footballs. Coles Regional Manager for Banora and Tweed, Anna Lane, says that the company understands the financial and time pressure felt by parents and teachers to make sport in
our community possible. ‘The amount of sports equipment redeemed last year proves that when Banora and Tweed work together, we can make a real difference to our local schools and get kids active. ‘I am proud to announce the launch of this year’s Sports for Schools program and I urge the whole community to encourage local schools to register’.

The weekend before last was one to remember. This weekend? One to forget! Sometimes you get it right, other times, well… I launched my yak early Saturday morning. The tide time said ‘High’ at 07.15. I was a bit sleepy and forgot about the lag time with the tide difference being over two hours up at Terranora Broadwater, so when I got to the launch spot, all I could see was mud. Yuk! I hate the stuff but I was not about to turn around. I got the hobie all set and away we went. Walking the yak across the mud was fine with its mudproof wheels, but me? I was a goner – sinking up to my knees and losing my thongs deep down. I gave up on them but kept a keen eye open for oyster-coated rocks now that I was barefooted. Eventually I made it out to deeper water and once I got through the mud everything seemed easy except the fishing.
I headed straight for the hole I’d fished the weekend before so successfully catching three soapies. The sun hadn’t risen yet and I stayed there till the wind picked up. About one and a half hours later, not one bite. No-one else was around and the rain had started so I thought ‘I’m out of here’. Maybe a little exploring is called for. The wind makes it so hard to fish with light gear. I’ve never been up the Bilambil Creek before so decided to go with the tide and see how far I could go. I ended up next to the footy club but could not go any further, I pedalled with a couple of other yakkers I met up with. The one thing that stood out was the bird life. It is amazing. The sounds we heard while quietly making our way up the creek were fantastic. Like walking through an Italian marketplace only Aussie birds were doing all the talking – so many different species. The guys I pedalled with reckoned the bird life in Bilambil is the best around.

Last week I mentioned the secret jew hole in Terranora Broadwater; well it’s not so secret. I had a chat with a local fisho Paul Hargraves. His family has fished the Tweed region for three generations. I told him about my catch and the secret spot and he said, ‘Mate it’s called the Jew Hole!’ Great. It’s not so secret after all. The real secret to catching these fish is patience. Keep trying your spot at different tides. Some fishermen will say you only catch them on such and such a tide or with such and such bait, but just keep trying. I fish with plastics, but lives are just as good if not better. I find an aggressive action works well but make sure you’re getting to the bottom. I haven’t mentioned any fish action; that is because I didn’t have any. When I arrived back the wind and rain had stopped and then the sun came out. I should have slept in.

The high cost of housing – don’t blame the carbon tax Story by Brefney Ruhl
It’s fair to say that most of the housing groups have spoken out against the government’s carbon pollution tax. Their fears have mostly been discounted by the government and even mega property developer Stockland has said the tax will only add 0.6% to a house and land package. For a large part house prices in Australia have much more to do with other factors than the looming carbon tax. Tax incentives. As Queensland Shelter (qshelter.asn.au) points out, our tax treatment of housing is ‘upside down
and back to front’, greatly benefiting the wealthy and providing free kicks to investors. Land prices. The 2010 HIA report into housing affordability stated that ‘regional NSW has the least affordable housing outside of capital cities. The affordability level is roughly comparable to the levels in Sydney and Melbourne.’ It seems more than strange that there hasn’t been substantial rezoning of land for housing in Byron Shire for over 20 years, driving prices through the roof. Why is that? Construction costs. From a quick look on the net, building costs seem to be (very
$24
$2 roughly) similar, starting at around $1000/m2 in the US, Britain and Australia. After-market costs. Savvy buying can more than offset
the relatively small future costs caused by the carbon tax. Products such as whitegoods, kitchen, lighting and flooring can vary enormously in price. Shopping around and deals on the internet can save thousands when kitting out your home. An upmarket LG fridge advertised recently in a local catalogue for over $4,000 is available in the US for just over $1,000 – look for its local price to drop dramatically. Polished porcelain tiles (with nano treatment) will often be over $80/m2, but you can get a very similar tile from the same manufacturer
(they’re all from China these days) for under $18/m2 (yes, locally). Recently I needed eight simple chrome bathrobe hooks.
I was struggling to find anything under $20, but in the end I found what I wanted at Ikea for $2 each – pity they don’t do mail order.

The colourful Hare Krishna ox-and-cart float which graced many past Banana Festival parades may be no more, but anti-coal-seam-gas activists are set to add a splash of their own colours to the parade and fun day this Saturday. The Northern Rivers Guardians have ‘recognised a great opportunity to mix with the community, hand out lots of info and have fun doing it’ so have decided to join this year’s parade. Supporters are urged to gather early at the Murwillumbah showground for the noon parade start and to wear yellow, white and black (the colours of the Lock The Gate alliance signs). The group is also operating an information stall at the Knox Park fun day. ■ ■ ■ ■
The mayor threw Backburner last week with his comments reported locally that ‘one of the hardest issues facing council is finding retiring general manager Mike Rayner’s replacement’ as he was ‘stepping down next year’. Huh? This was news to us, and news to a council spokesperson who told us no announcement as such had been made and the GM’s contract expires in May 2013. Cr Skinner’s crystal ball may need some polishing, but when the suggestion was put to some council staff at a charity soccer tournament last Saturday, they praised Mr Rayner as one of the best GMs the shire had ever had who was very popular with staff. ‘It’s like a one big family, thanks to him; he is generous and brings out the best in staff,’ one underling said. The clincher was the comment that when council was under administration with Mr Rayner at the helm, it had never run so smoothly, which in all honesty Backburner has to agree with. ■ ■ ■ ■
Tempers flared during the councillors’ dinner break on Wednesday evening, with mayor Kevin Skinner and Cr Dot Holdom seen inside an of-
Cane fires are once again part of the seasonal landscape in the Tweed – not that they ever went away, despite promises of non-burning sugar cane harvesting by operators of the cogeneration plant at Condong. The Echo’s snapper took this photo of a sugar crop being burnt at Bray Park last weekend as farmers keep a close eye on it to ensure it does not get out of control.
fice having a ‘frank exchange of views’. Cr Holdom was doing most of the talking, just before she closed the door to prevent The Echo’s reporter from listening in. But an hour later they were much more peaceable, having a cosy chat in the council chambers. And when The Echo inquired whether they were now chums again, the mayor walked over to Cr Holdom and gave her a peck on the cheek, to prove the point. ■ ■ ■ ■
Terranora residents attending last Thursday’s community access meeting were a little annoyed to see most councillors and some senior staff looking rather uninterested during a PowerPoint presentation on the controversial issue of the Area E development. One resident said that pro-development Crs Warren Polglase and Phil Youngblutt ‘sat there nibbling nuts’ while one senior officer chatted away with another. The issue to those residents is very serious: their amenity and the character of their neighbourhood could be destroyed forever by what they call an overdevelopment on one of the last pieces of prime farmland in the area. The ratepayers (or
‘morons’ as Cr Phil has dubbed them in the past), especially those in the panoramic hilltop area that is Terranora, are slowly waking up to what could be a massive cave-in by planners
and councillors to developer demands for smaller block sizes, roads through a wetland to increase lot yield, inadequate buffers, increased height limits and poor traffic planning.
