A GROUP of local residents have banded together to see if they can save the former caravan park at Cabarita Beach, now the site of The Hideaway camping resort, from possible developers. The property on Tweed Coast Road was recently placed on the market, months after The Hideaway opened. A spokesman for the group told The Weekly that they are looking at various business structures and possible partnership arrangements in a bid to keep it in its current form. Tweed Coast Holiday Parks has also expressed interest in the site.

“And we are confident this will continue well into the future,” he said.

Most of the building is now filled with local businesses.

The Regent Cinema was built in 1947 and retains much of the beautiful old art deco style features of that era.

The projection and sound equipment was totally renewed in 2012 and features the latest in digital projection technology and 5.1 surround sound.

The cinema also has a brand-new air-conditioning system offering extra comfort to moviegoers.

It was unknown at the time of print how much the building could sell for.

By Jonathon Howard AFTER MORE than 30 years of ownership under the Martin family of Maclean, the iconic Regent Cinema building at 5 Brisbane Street, Murwillumbah, is in the process of being sold.

The building is being purchased by wellknown businessman Stephen Webb, the owner of the M|Arts precinct adjacent to the Regent.

Regent Cinema operators Ken and Mia Rippin, who have been operating the Regent Cinema for the past eight years, said they see the prospective sale as a “big plus for Murwillumbah”.

The couple are intending to continue operations at the Regent Cinema in the short term once they can reopen under stage two of COVID-19 restrictions.

“This is a good thing for the town,” Ken said.

“Bringing the Regent Cinema under the same umbrella as the M|Arts precinct will create a wonderful arts and entertainment hub that will be unique for the Northern Rivers.”

Ken spoke highly of Mr Webb, who he said has a strong vision for the building having already created the incredible M|Arts Precinct.

Ken said The Regent has enjoyed the patronage of a large portion of the

Border closure is political point scoring, says Member for Tweed Business Tax Advisers

Border closures from NSW into Qld are expected to stay in place until September, but Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said it’s a “waste of time and resources”.

“All these resources to achieve at best a weak border closure is a complete waste of time and resources, I feel now is the time to open the border,” he said.

Several business owners and operators at the border are also calling for the border to reopen as a matter of urgency for both trade and tourism.

Numinbah Road had remained closed with locals recently protesting the need to open the border to access schools.

But Numinbah residents were given a reprieve last week when the Queensland Government issued permits to NSW residents to cross the Numinbah Road border, which has been seen a small win for the Tweed Valley residents.

Tweed Chamber of Commerce board member John Weaver said the border closure has brought the Tweed Chamber and Greater Southern Gold Coast Chamber of Commerce closer together.

“Both chambers now have a mutual interested in rebuilding the small business landscape, and we both agree the Queensland Premier’s decision to keep the border closed has been a “dog’s breakfast” “We would have rather seen the money for the border closure spent on the recovery for struggling small businesses,” he said.

Mr Weaver said he was also concerned that while NRL football players have been supported to cross the border - “but small businesses are not”.

“Especially now the border closure is having such a big impact on small businesses,” he said.

YOUR THOUGHTS: Are you hoping the border will reopen before September?

By Jonathon Howard MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest has slammed the Queensland Premier for continuing with the border closure – labelling her decision to keep the border closed until possibly September as “political point scoring”.

Mr Provest said it was high time Annastacia Palaszczuk considered whether the border closure from NSW into Queensland was “even beneficial”.

“I believe the border closure has been terribly ineffective and I feel disappointed in the Queensland Premier for not recognising how flawed the border closure has been,” Mr Provest said.

Mr Provest pointed out that Tweed Shire residents can still easily walk across the border and that the border pass process of applying online was available to anyone.

“The holes in the whole system make it useless and are largely impacting Tweed Shire and Gold Coast residents, many of whom cross the border on a regular basis,” he said.

“I’m also led to believe that crime rates have spiked on the Gold Coast with a need to have police officers back on the beat, instead of waiving through thousands of vehicles at the border day and night.”

Mr Provest highlighted that volunteers and even the Australia Army were being used to assist with the border closure.

Failures of rural land strategy

After seven long years, many thousands of dollars and just as many hours of work, Tweed Shire Council (TSC) finally approved the Rural Land Strategy (RLS) at their Thursday, May 7, meeting.

So how did this document evolve?

A reference group was called for from people with varied expertise in many fields, including farming - the section of the community that would be most affected.

As president of the Combined Tweed Rural Industries I nominated and was accepted.

Unfortunately, these reference meetings were only information meetings and at no time was I ever asked for my input into what should be included in the RLS. Guidelines (which were too restrictive) were prepared and consultants were hired to do the background research for the RLS only to have some of their key recommendations ignored.

Farming groups in the shire were anxiously waiting for this strategy hoping that it would provide a planning framework for the future of farming in the Tweed.

It was hoped that the RLS would acknowledge that large parts of the shire are unsuitable for economically viable farming because of poor soil, steep terrain and a multitude of other well documented restrictions and would offer alternative land uses for these areas. Alas that hasn’t happened.

The RLS has failed to identify the massive differences in farming on land zoned RU1, agricultural production and the majority of the shire zoned RU2, rural landscape, (no mention of farming) or make any allowances.

This document does suggest some freeing up of uses on rural land, such as conference centres, wedding venues, agri tourism projects etc but this is of little benefit to current farming families because they simply do not have the money or the ability

to raise any capital, as there is no mechanism within the RLS to allow this to happen.

There is no understanding that farmers, overnight, can’t switch to new crops or change to hydroponics etc without massive amounts of capital to set up and negotiate the long lead in times required to reach commercial viability.

The cane industry had two wins and a referral to the floodplain management committee for their third request in relation to flood mounds.

There appears to be a utopian view within Council, and the wider community, about farming and this has been clearly reflected in the RLS as it is more an environmental rural landscape document than a practical farming support document.

There are approximately 140 actions in the RLS and in the soon to be released Climate Change Policy there are 15 key priorities with an as yet unknown number of actions, so my question is, how will TSC ever find the human, financial or time resources to implement these actions considering that the farming community is still waiting for the four year priority actions of the Tweed Futures Document, tabled in 2004, to be implemented?

The whole process has been a most frustrating and time consuming exercise which has failed to address the real issues for the most affected group in the shire, the rural landowners.

Colin Brooks, President of the Combined Tweed Rural Industries Association

Report brings questions

Some questions arise from your story: ‘Woolworths site could push ahead in 2020’ (14/5/20).

A quick search suggests to me that this is a report from a small and new (but incredibly enthusiastic according to their web promotion) company whose major clients are Woolworths entities.

I have seen many lengthy reports that present special pleading and obfuscation.

Heavy documents containing pictures, graphs, bar charts, and persuasive conclusions all based on false assumptions.

Location IQ may or may not have produced such a report, but from you brief account, I ask: 1 . H ow i s a s e c o n d m a j o r supermarket going to contribute about $17 million additional supermarket spend within the trade area? The period of this benefit is not specified, nor the trade area. Most people would not travel more than 50km to shop.

Within 50km of Murwillumbah

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals there is a generous distribution of supermarkets. Supermarkets abound. Supermarkets near the beach, supermarkets near large-site shops, supermarkets near centres of population: a new Woolworths would have to draw custom from their existing shops unless the report is relying on an enormous population boom. A population boom develops over tens of years, not within a year. Is the $17 million accrued in small annual increments over - how long?

2. This question is really part of the first. For Woolworths grossing an extra $17 million what is the net benefit to Murwillumbah, given the cost to the shire of accommodating the supermarket.

The municipal cost, as well as the cost to existing businesses. Could jobs gained in Murwillumbah be jobs lost in the shire’s other supermarkets?

3. What is a job? Human resource people refer to ‘FTE’ - Full Time Equivalent. I have yet to see a development proposal that quantifies jobs into FTEs let alone specifies the time for which the number of jobs would exist. And in the ‘construction phase’ how many citizens of Tweed Shire would gain one of the jobs?

Do we have a large cohort of construction workers from architects and engineers down to signwriters and gardeners whom Woolworths would employ, and who are available to take the work? Is a job one hour’s work? One shift? One day? One week? Is a shift on a checkout or a visit from a merchandiser a job in the Location IQ tally?

And I suspect that the figure of 609 is presented to make the promise look methodologically derived.

Scientific. Precise. Solid.

But ‘could be generated’ as well as ‘both directly and indirectly’ indicates that the number is completely speculative.

Use of such a flimsy device indicates that there is not anything more reliable to tempt us with.

There may be a benefit to M u r w i l l u m b a h t o h av e a Woolworths supermarket outside the edge of the present shopping precinct. But Location IQ has failed to demonstrate it to me.

Is the real purpose of the application to so pepper the area with Woolworths shops that real competition (Aldi) will not move in?

Susan Hogan, Murwillumbah

We want Woolies

Ye s, w e d o n e e d a n o t h e r supermarket in Murwillumbah.

Woolworths is a great choice. No more trips to Tweed Heads.

We are pensioners and look forward to seeing Woolworths here.

Deirdre and Carl Chevallerau, Murwillumbah

More choice needed

I love shopping at Woolworths and I prefer their products to Coles, especially their meat such heart smart mince.

If you are a mum walking down the ramp with a couple of little children and a full trolley of groceries, the trolley just gets away from you and you have no control.

I think it’s disgraceful that people in Murwillumbah are not given a choice. There is no economic impact to other shops in Murwillumbah because those of us who like to shop at Woolworths will drive to Tweed and shop at Woolworths and while there we get a coffee, buy all our school needs and even buy a dress we liked.

So, actually all of the town is missing out on a financial return.

IGA added to the town with delicious local products such as Mt Warning Ham. Woolworths will add to the town as well Give the people of Murwillumbah a choice.

Jan Davis, Murwillumbah

Woolworths: bring it on

Regarding the article about the Woolworths site (TVW May 14 edition).

I think Murwillumbah needs another major supermarket to open up more job opportunities. The major supermarkets employ a lot of people, and more people employed is better for the local businesses.

Initially it would probably impact some businesses, especially Coles.

However, the town is growing, not shrinking, so consumer demand and spending increases, a positive for local businesses.

It’s also about consumer choice and variety. I don’t like that Coles is the only major supermarket in town. The IGAs are great because they offer niche items, but generally are more expensive on grocery items.

The proposed site is a derelict eyesore. Time to give it a new face.

Liz (last name withheld), Murwillumbah

An Aldi would be better

With Murwillumbah and surrounding area of such low socioeconomic status Murwillumbah needs a local Aldi, not Woolworths.

Dean Litherland, Murwillumbah

I oppose new supermarket

I’d like to register my unequivocal disapproval of the Woolworths plan to build a supermarket on Brisbane Street, Murwillumbah, for the following reasons: 1. The smaller stores in this unique town are already struggling against the buying/price undercutting power of two large supermarkets (Coles and IGA) in the vicinity. Witness

21,000 copies

the steady closing of smaller stores in the main town block; these stores contribute to the character of Murwillumbah, a quality that multinationals cannot manufacture.

2. I have lived in town for the past 17 years and have witnessed a staggering increase in traffic congestion over that period. I can only imagine how the placement of a Woolies at that previously quiet corner will adversely affect the peace of a multitude of residents ‒ many of them ratepayers ‒ living in Commercial Road, Condong Street and Brisbane Street.

I know that it’s become the contemporary norm for money to trump all other considerations.

Murwillumbah has a gentle charm that’s becoming hard to find even on the north coast. We need to protect it, not pander to the profit hunger of multinationals.

David Weir, Murwillumbah

What a great letter

Maria Barbieri, you’ve nailed it, TVW Letters, ‘Positives of a pandemic’ (14/5).

There is a very positive side of COVID-19, and although so very tragic for the many who have suffered, let us acknowledge and feel heartfelt empathy for them, but not let their suffering and pain all be in vain.

I believe a force far greater than we mere mortals has hit the `Pause’ button before the human race implodes completely.

COVID-19 has given every one of us, regardless of race, creed or nation, a fantastic opportunity to stop and reflect what our personal goals in this lifetime are, what we want for our country as well as global ways to move humanity forward to a more equitable and peaceful existence.

This gives each and every one of us a chance to take stock of what is really important individually, on mental and emotional levels as well as physical, and take steps, no matter how small, to implement and achieve that aim.

We can’t help others until we achieve our own inner needs. If we could all embrace Edward Everett Hale’s “I am one” (probably a contraction), we would go far: “I am only one, but I am one.

“I cannot do everything, but I can do something, And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do”.

By Jonathon Howard MANY TWEED Shire students have embraced life back in the classroom and are already studying hard for their HSC and ATAR including Mount St Patrick College School Captains Joseph Warne and Lauren Cahill.

Joseph said there was “no substitute for being in a classroom” despite feeling supported during his six weeks of home learning using virtual classrooms.

“I feel more confident now we’re back though,” Joseph said in relation to his HSC exams.

“It was hard to stay motivated at home, but we had support from the teachers and stuck to the lesson plans.”

Lauren said she found it challenging to stay motivated at home and said it was great to be back in a social environment with friends and the school community.

“It was hard to stay motivated, but we were contacted by our year coordinator a lot and the teachers were really taking a personal approach by trying to keep us connected,” she said.

Despite the time off, the pair felt confident with their HSC which they are set to undertake alongside 75,000 other NSW students in October.

Both school captains have already achieved great results throughout their schooling thus far and both undertook accelerated learning courses for their maths subjects with Lauren also undertaking an accelerated science subject.

The students emphasised that they felt Mount St Patrick College was committed to helping those with lower grades to achieve better results by assisting each other.

“Mt St Pats push for everyone to support each other with the motivation to do well together,” Joseph said.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! RSL memorabilia badly damaged by fire

By Jo Kennett

Many people – both employers and employees - are reporting difficulties and confusion with the government’s JobKeeper program.

Lawyer Anneka Frayne of Stacks Law Firm says one of the principal problems being reported concerns changes being made to employees’ hours of work when their employer registers for the JobKeeper $1500 per fortnight subsidy.

“Clients have had their hours of work reduced and their position reclassified from full time to part time employment,” Ms Frayne said.

“They’ve been told leave entitlements will only accrue on their new lower work hours, and their rate of pay will be reduced to $750 a week – the same amount the employer receives from the government under JobKeeper to keep the worker employed.”

There are also examples of casual workers being told they will have to work longer hours to receive the $750 a week JobKeeper payment – and when they can’t due to study or family commitments, they are fired.

“Generally, under the Fair Work Act, where an employer qualifies for JobKeeper, the employer is allowed to direct an employee to stand down or reduce their hours of work, and determine what duties they are required to perform and where.

“However, it says that the employer must come to an agreement with the employee about the days or times they work, and whether the employee takes annual leave, including at half pay.

“The Fair Work Act does say that the employer must consult with the employee before giving a direction.

The Act also says that if a direction is unreasonable, then the direction will not apply.

THERE WERE hopes that the precious RSL memorabilia stored in the Cudgen Leagues Club at the time of the fire might have survived, however most of it has been badly damaged and be able to be restored.

President of the Kingscliff RSL subbranch Brian Vickery OAM said much of the club’s property was completely destroyed, though there were some surprising survivors.

“We have lost all our furniture and anything electrical, like the television which we used for PowerPoint displays and the PA system, and speakers,” Mr Vickery told The Weekly.

“Wherever there was an electrical cord the fire went through it and where it didn’t, smoke damaged the rest.

“We probably had 70 chairs and ten tables and we have lost all of that.

We have lost some desks and display cabinets.

“They have been affected by the heat whereas the contents have only been affected by the smoke.”

Mr Vickery said that while the club room escaped the fire, it was the heat, water and smoke that caused the damage.

“We weren’t allowed in but the contractors took them out and brought them to the car park so we have been able to have a closer examination,” Mr Vickery said.

“What people don’t see is that the cover of the medals was Perspex so when it got hit by the heat it buckled and the medals fell out and got thrown out of sequence.

“That is quite an expensive array of medals but both the boards will have to be reframed, remounted and re-glassed.

“You can see from the other pictures that the frames are quite damaged.”

Uniforms from local soldiers who fought in World War I, WWII and Vietnam were seriously damaged.

“We had some uniforms from all three wars outside the display cabinets and they have been seriously affected by smoke,” Mr Vickery said.

“We’re not sure if it would ever be possible to clean them, the process might destroy them.

“They were given to us by local families and we would like to restore them for the future but that might take some time to get assessed.

“For some of the older ones the heat was too much and they disintegrated.

“We will try to restore and save every item that we can.”

Mr Vickery said the club’s library of books had been saved because of their positioning in the club.

“We had quite a collection and where they are smoke affected, they are still usable and not subject to heat,” he said.

“The thing we cannot believe was that we had five flags in a display rack and they have been pretty well left intact and a couple of them were polyester and we can’t understand that.

“Lastly, the Act says a direction in relation to the duties or the location of work must only be made if it is necessary to continue the employment of the employee.”

A new provision of the Act, section 789GDB, relating to the minimum hourly rate of pay guarantee, says the hourly pay can’t be less than the base pay per hour that applied before JobKeeper.

Leave entitlements continue as before JobKeeper under section 789GS. Redundancy pay and annual leave should accrue as normal.

Under JobKeeper rules, employers can’t demand extra hours from staff to match the $1500 per fortnight subsidy. The tax office says there is no room for employers to pick and choose which employee is eligible for JobKeeper payments – it’s one in, all in.

It can be a criminal offence if employers breach this rule.

“Employers must ensure they comply with existing employment laws during JobKeeper, just as they were before it was introduced to help employers keep workers on their books.”

“They had an aircon that fell down behind them and the ceiling fell down in front of them and we were not expecting to recover those so we were delighted.

“There was a Kiwi flag, a RAAF flag, a naval ensign, the Australian flag and a boxing kangaroo.

“They were standing in a metal display on the floor so it was remarkable they survived.”

Mr Vickery said members were thrilled that the club honour board survived.

“Not only did it display current office bearers but also the history of the club,” he said.

“We spent a lot of time putting it together and saving that was wonderful.

“It did take some heat so we are hoping that restoration won’t destroy it but all the names and dates are visible so we can photograph that and replicate if we have to.”

Mr Vickery said restoration would be a long-term project.

“It’s difficult when you can’t have meetings so we are organising it in small groups but we might have to consult a specialist in restoration to see what we can do,” he said.

“It will be a long term project.

“We have to wait and see what the projections are for the club.

“We were privileged to have a unique room there but it depends on the rebuild whether we could have that privilege bestowed upon us again.

“The contractors have been fantastic and that’s allowed us to get on with our job.”

Tweed Shire Council wishes to recognise the generations of the local Aboriginal people of the Bundjalung Nation who have lived in and derived their physical and spiritual needs from the forests, rivers, lakes and streams of this beautiful valley over many thousands of years as the traditional owners and custodians of these lands.

Last week we each used

200L a day as at 15 May 2020

In brief ...

You can call Council after hours Did you know you can call Council outside business hours to report urgent issues with Council services?

While this function is not new, the experience for Council’s customers has been improved considerably by a switch this week to a new after-hours service provider, OracleCMS. After hours emergencies include: • sewer blockages and overflows • serious water supply issues: leaks, no supply, poor quality, unable to turn meter on/off • dog attacks • pollution • any issue that poses risk or immediate threat.

The after hours number is the same as Council’s usual number – (02) 6670 2400.

You can also report non-urgent matters outside of business hours, by visiting www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/reportaproblem or you can call Council on (02) 6670 2400 and follow the prompts to leave a call back message the next available business day.

Celebrating International Museum Day from home The Tweed Regional Museum has released a special digital exhibition to celebrate International Museum Day (Monday 18 May 2020).

This year’s theme for International Museum Day is ‘Museums for equality, diversity and inclusion’. The exhibition, Untold Stories: living with ability, captures a diverse range of stories from ordinary people whose rich life experiences include living with disability.

Participants in this project generously allowed the Museum to record and share their stories through audio, video and text. The project was

originally displayed in 2017 at the Murwillumbah Museum and it has been renewed as an online exhibition.

The online exhibition is part of Council's Together Tweed initiative and is designed to keep the community connected to discovering local history during the COVID-19 shutdown.

The online exhibition is available on the Museum’s website museum.tweed.nsw.gov.au/untold-stories TweedRegionalMuseum

Parks open up as COVID-19 restrictions start to ease Playgrounds, outdoor exercise equipment, skate parks and public barbecues are now open (subject to signage placement) across the Tweed, after NSW Government COVID-19 restrictions began to ease last Friday.

Outdoor gatherings of up to 10 people are allowed under the NSW restrictions, which means public playgrounds and outdoor exercise equipment in the Tweed can only be used by up to 10 people at a time.

Bookings for weddings in Council parks and beaches are available for gatherings of up to 10 guests (plus the celebrant and the couple).

Skate parks will also open this week, following the installation of signage.

The changes follow the recent reopening of beach car parks on Council-managed land.

New signs at parks reflect the need for everyone to take personal responsibility for their own health.

Only 10 people are allowed to use the facilities at any time so if there are too many people, wait or come back later.

We all need to remember to stay 1.5 metres away from each other,

wash/sanitise hands frequently, cough or sneeze into your elbow, stay home if you are sick and get tested if you have symptoms.

Vulnerable people should continue to stay home where possible.

Funeral services at Tweed Valley Cemetery at Eviron now allow up to 20 mourners in The Chapel and outdoor funerals with up to 30 people.

The Tweed Regional Aquatic Centres (TRAC) at Murwillumbah, Kingscliff and Tweed Heads will remain closed for the time being, as will the community centres at Banora Point and Tweed Heads South.

Council is making assessments on the best way to reopen these particular facilities for the safety and benefit of customers.

Anyone wishing to report COVID-19 offences under the NSW Public Health Act at community assets should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 (open 24 hours). Tweed Shire Council is not the authority on public health issues.

Citizen History is a new online conversation hosted by the Tweed Regional Museum every Thursday from 8am.

The Museum will be asking the local community to help them learn more about the images in their collection that may have missing information.

The team at the Museum are continually working to capture information which in some cases is missing or incomplete and they are seeking local knowledge and experience to record key details.

The online program is part of Council’s Together Tweed initiative and is designed to keep the community connected by discovering local history during the COVID-19 shutdown.

The first Citizen History conversation helped to identify missing names and details from a photo of the All Blacks and Cudgen Canefires Women’s Rugby League Teams. Marie and Bill Dinsey wrote in and helped to locate the accompanying newspaper article. As a result, the Museum was able to confirm the team and player names along with the year the photo was taken.

Environmental impact works at dam continue

Raising the wall at Clarrie Hall Dam will treble its capacity.

The preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed raising of Clarrie Hall Dam has continued during the COVID-19 restrictions.

Consultant Eco Logical Australia Pty Ltd was appointed in December last year to prepare the EIS. An EIS is a publicly available document that provides information on a project, including its environmental impacts and mitigation measures and is used to inform development consent decisions. Site investigations for the EIS recently commenced. These include: • updating the existing biodiversity (flora and fauna) assessments to comply with NSW and Federal government’s environmental assessment requirements • preliminary soils and geotechnical investigations associated with the proposed inundation zone and construction areas at the dam wall • site visits to potential archaeological deposits • further biodiversity field surveys and archaeological test excavations are programmed for winter and spring 2020 • Coffey Australia (a sub-consultant to the EIS consultant Eco Logical Pty Ltd) is preparing to contact a range of project stakeholders as

Living and Loving the Tweed

part of the socio-economic assessment for the project.

The raising of the dam wall is one of the major projects Council is undertaking to secure our water supply into the future.

Raising the wall will double the dam’s footprint, treble its capacity and provide security of supply to 2046.

Preparation of the EIS will take between 12 and 18 months. It will then be placed on public exhibition and Council will seek submissions from the public and interested parties.

All submissions must be formally considered and responded to in a Response to Submission Report which, in conjunction with the EIS, will go to the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment for assessment and making a recommendation to the Minister.

If you are interested in this project, want to review the EIS and possibly make a submission on its content, please register to stay informed at www.yoursaytweed.com.au/raisingclarriehall Council can then email you when the EIS goes on public exhibition and when the public (or virtual) meeting/s are scheduled.

Council is committed to full transparency on this project and all documentation is publicly available at on the project page at www.yoursaytweed.com.au/raisingclarriehall

‘Meals to go’ prove popular

View Border Art Prize online

The popularity of the new ‘meals to go’ service at Brett Street CAFE (Community Access For Everyone) has exceeded expectations and more than 600 meals have been sold since the new service began in April.

Council’s Coordinator Community Services Joanne Watters said there had been a high demand and the team have now stepped up production.

“The community has been very grateful for this new meal service and we didn’t anticipate how popular it would be,” Ms Watters said.

“We knew there was a need for meals at an affordable price and we are so glad we can support people in the Tweed. We’ve received great feedback so far and we will certainly keep this type of service up long after the pandemic is over.

“Many people have been purchasing meals for friends, family and neighbours during these trying times – it’s been great to see the community looking out for each other,” she said.

From this week, the café will allow up to 10 people to sit and have a coffee, light meal or snack as per updated guidelines from the NSW Government. The café will also continue to do takeaway during the modified opening hours of 8am to 1pm Monday to Thursday. Preordered ‘meals to go’ can be collected Tuesday to Friday 11am to 1pm.

The social enterprise café is located in the newly-upgraded Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre plaza complex.

A 37-YEAR-OLD Tweed Heads man will front court after police busted him with four pension cards that he was using to obtain benefits.

Police said they were patrolling the Tweed Heads area around 1.30am on Friday, May 15, when they spotted the man loitering around the front door of the Ivory Tavern and unable to provide a valid reason to be in the car park.

“Whilst speaking with police the male was very nervous, he continued to shove his hands into his pockets rapidly pulling cards out and shoving them back in. The accused said he was looking for something with his name on it, he pulled out a pension card then shoved it back into his pocket.”

Checks revealed the man was known to police and a search found four pension cards belonging to other people.

“The male advised police he unlawfully uses the pension cards to obtain benefits.

The accused was evasive and vague about how these items came into his possession,” police said.

Police also located what they said appeared to be a multi-tool knife, however it only contained two blades, as well as prescription medication unlawfully in his possession.

The man will appear before Tweed Heads Local Court at a later date.

Police catch 21-year-old drink driver

A 21-YEAR-OLD man has had his licence suspended after police caught him drink driving at Tweed Heads on Saturday, May 16.

Police said around 5.15pm they spotted a gray Ford Maverick with Queensland plates turn left out of Brett Street onto Wharf Street and fishtail across two lanes.

Police followed the vehicle which accelerated harshly when the traffic lights turned green at the Boyd Street intersection, causing the rear wheels to lose traction for a few seconds then veer left to take the Kennedy Drive off-ramp.

Police stopped the vehicle a short time later on Kennedy Drive.

“Police approached the 21-year-old driver and requested he produce his driver’s licence,” police said.

“He was unable to produce it and police observed the accused to have watery and bloodshot eyes and a moderate scent of intoxicating liquor was evident.”

Police subjected the man to a breath test which returned a positive reading and he arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station where a breath analysis returned a reading of 0.104. Checks on the vehicle revealed the registration expired in April 2020.

The man’s licence was immediately suspended and he will appear before Tweed Heads Local Court on July 6.

Learner driver takes police on goose chase

By Jo Kennett A LEARNER driver has been charged with multiple offences after a police pursuit from the M1 near Yelgun through the Tweed Coast on Friday, May 15.

Locals along Tweed Coast Road from Pottsville to Kingscliff were alerted to the chase by multiple police sirens, a Qld Polair helicopter and the sound of the Holden Commodore ute being pursued as it rattled its way down the road on blown tyres.

Tweed Police said the chase began around 9.05pm when Tweed Byron Highway Patrol officers saw the ute with suspected stolen number plates travelling on the Pacific Highway at Yelgun.

Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but it allegedly increased its speed and the chase was on.

During the nearly one-and-a-half-hour pursuit, police were assisted by Qld Polair.

Police used tyre deflation devices to successfully damage two of the car’s tyres, but the vehicle continued and allegedly crossed

We can come to you

onto the wrong side of the road several times.

Determination Date 28 April 2020

By Jonathon Howard OVERCROWDING IN five Tweed Shire schools, including one with more than 54 per cent above its enrolment cap, has raised a political storm with the NSW Labor Party calling for the issue to be addressed “as a matter of urgency”.

But Member for Tweed Geoff Provest says it’s all a storm in a teacup and has sought to reassure residents the enrolment cap is designed to spread the student numbers across different schools and was not leading to overcrowded classrooms.

“School funding is based on the number of students each school has,” he said.

“So, any school over their enrolment cap is still receiving adequate funding to ensure they are getting the best education.”

Mr Provest said many schools had exceeded their enrolment cap but were still achieving great results for students.

“It’s designed state-wide and many schools are over the cap,” he said.

Meanwhile, Labor Shadow Minister for Education Prue Car said the State Government has “failed the school enrolment cap crackdown”, after forcing them to admit that 576 of the 1279 NSW schools subject to the cap are overcapacity.

Banora Point Public School is Tweed’s most overcapacity school with the enrolment cap set to 393 for the school, but the school currently has 606 students enrolled or over 50 per cent.

Cudgen Public School had the second highest with 31 students over its enrolment cap of 150 or over by 20.7 per cent.

Three other Tweed Shire schools were also over capacity and do not have planned infrastructure upgrades including Terranora Public (13 per cent over), Bilambil Public (11.3 per cent over) and Bogangar Public (8 per cent over).

“From mid-2019 the Berejiklian Government set a student population limit for each school

Powering On Through Tough Times

based on its number of permanent buildings, preventing parents from enrolling their children in schools out of their immediate catchment area,” Ms Car said.

Ms Car said less than 12 months after it was launched the Berejiklian Government’s enrolment crackdown has been a “fiasco”.

“45 per cent of affected schools are over capacity,” she said.

“It has caused anxiety for families who faced having to split up their children, and it has not helped solve the overcrowding crisis in schools across NSW. In a response statement to The Weekly, the Department of Education said NSW public schools accommodate “every local child who wishes to attend”.

“The enrolment cap does not set a limit on the number of local students a school can enrol and is not the enrolment capacity of a school,” the Department’s statement said.

“In the Tweed region, the NSW Government is investing in major upgrades at 10 schools which have either been recently completed or are in the planning/design phases.

“Major upgrades worth approximately $120 million are planned for Kingscliff Public School, Kingscliff High School, Tweed Heads South Public School and Tweed River High School. A major upgrade at Pottsville Beach Public School was completed last year and delivered 13 new permanent classrooms.”

The Department said there are “no current plans to upgrade Banora Point Public School”.

“In 2020, approximately half of the students attending Banora Point Public School live outside the catchment area. Demand is expected to ease in the coming years as enrolments are monitored and priority is given to local students,” the Department said.

“Additionally, major upgrades at nearby Tweed Heads South and Kingscliff schools will provide new classrooms and facilities for students, and will relieve demand at Banora Point.”

Murwillumbah East Primary still waiting for flood repairs “They’ve carried out the demolition of the previous floodaffected buildings, but we’re still waiting for the plans for the new classrooms and it’s been three years now,” he said.

“A l o t o f p a re n t s a n d t h e community are concerned about this and we need a follow through.

“We want our kids to have the same resources they had before the floods.”

Mr Bierman said he took his concerns to Ms Saffin MP, who raised her concerns in parliament recently.

“Janelle has been very responsive and when we didn’t have follow through on the construction of the building, I contacted her and she’s put several questions on notice to the minister,” he said.

Ms Saffin said it was “outrageous and unacceptable” that Murwillumbah East Public students have been “forced to wait”.

“I’m calling on the NSW Government to provide a start date for construction of Murwillumbah East Public School’s long-overdue replacement classrooms and library,” she said.

Ms Saffin used the resumption of Parliament last Tuesday (May 12) to put a Question on Notice of NSW Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning Sarah Mitchell MLC, which the Minister has to answer by the Tuesday, June 16, deadline.

Ms Saffin asked NSW Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Dr Geoff Lee, representing Minister Mitchell “when will the school community of Murwillumbah

Murwillumbah East Public School P&C President Soenke Bierman, Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin and P&C member Vanessa Rose are demanding the State Government deliver the new classrooms following the 2017 flood

East Primary School be informed of a start date for construction of their four replacement classrooms and replacement library?” she questioned.

“While the original buildings damaged in the Cyclone Debbie flood have been demolished, why has it taken three years and one month to effect replacement of these facilities?”

Ms Saffin has also made urgent representations to Minister Mitchell on behalf of the school’s Parents and Citizens’ Association, with whom she has been regularly in touch.

“I just find it outrageous and unacceptable that this school community, which was so badly impacted by major flooding more than three years ago, has had to wait

so long for replacement buildings,” Ms Saffin said.

“It’s almost as if Murwillumbah East has fallen off this Government’s radar. All Minister Mitchell has to do is provide a start date for construction work and make sure contractors stick to a timetable for completion.”

The Department of Education responded to The Weekly’s questions and said a program of early works started at Murwillumbah East Public School over the 2019/20 school holidays “to provide immediate improvements for the school”.

“This included the demolition of flood damaged buildings, refurbishment of the School Support Unit and administrative building, creation of a new sensory garden,

and improvements to landscaping, fencing and outdoor facilities,” the Department of Education said.

“A s e c o n d s t a g e o f e a r l y works is currently underway for improvements to the school car park.

“The remainder of the project is expected to start in mid-2021 with completion scheduled for late 2022.

“The Department of Education is committed to determining the most appropriate approach to meeting current and future education requirements of the local community, and to ensure that any new infrastructure at Murwillumbah East Public School is fit for the future both in terms of education service delivery and flood resilience.”

By Jonathon Howard VITAL INFRSATRUCTURE at Murwillumbah East Public School remains long overdue, according to parents and Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin, who are calling on the State Government to follow through with the school’s new classrooms and library after extensive damage from the 2017 flood.

P&C President Soenke Bierman spoke to The Weekly expressing a “desperate need” for the State Government to get students out of the current demountable blocks and back into classrooms “as promised”.

Mr Bierman’s has two children who have attended the school for the past six years and he has been P&C President for the past two years.

He said the school was heavily impacted by the 2017 floods including the complete destruction of three classroom blocks and the library.

“As a result of the floods the school was provided four temporary demountable blocks and the library block,” he said.

“These were only ever meant to be temporary solutions in order to allow students back into classes.”

Mr Bierman said it has been an exhaustive process attempting to have the demountable blocks re m ove d a n d re p l a c e d w i t h permanent classrooms.

“We just wanted to go back to what the students had before the floods – we’re not asking for more.”

Mr Bier man said the State Government had announced prior to the election that they would rebuild the school.

for Better Regulation and Innovation “to discuss short-term holiday letting”.

Airbnb owners had a win recently when the NSW government passed legislation which eased restrictions on short-term rentals.

The new legislation means that rentals of three months or less were “excluded from the operation of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW)”.

The new legislation also provided that “owners corporations may now adopt by-laws that prohibit the use of a strata lot for STRA, but only where the lot is not the principal place of residence of the STRA host”.

This effectively restricts the owner to renting out STRA while on holidays or if a spare room is rented while the host is present.

However, owners corporations can only make a special resolution with a vote of at least 75 per cent of votes in favour, which was considered a win by Airbnb lobbyists who think it would be difficult to achieve.

The pandemic is also frustrating expats and others unable to sell residential property to avoid large capital gains tax bills which come into force at the end of this financial year with desperate sellers dropping prices significantly in many markets.

The Tweed Shire has seen a 363 per cent increase in Airbnb properties in the last three years but the current pandemic has seen bookings collapse, more long-term rentals hit the market and rental prices fall across the Tweed Shire.

The Weekly contacted Tweed MP Geoff Provest for comment but he was unable to respond prior to the print deadline.

By Jo Kennett THE COLLAPSE of Airbnb has one group asking if COVID-19 has achieved what they say the government has refused to – the regulation of the short-term housing market.

Neighbours Not Strangers campaigns against short-term rental accommodation (STRA) in residential apartments and spokesperson Trish Burt said that in terms of the “illegal use of residential premises, currently COVID-19 is doing what our legislators refuse to do – suppress unlawful activity”.

“Given the dire situation faced by those in the hospitality and tourism industries, what will it be: state government and Destination NSW supporting accredited accommodation providers, tenants and residents, or a ‘green light’ for and collusion with Airbnb, Stayz and those – including senior MPs – who are commercialising thousands upon thousands of residential dwellings?” Ms Burt said.

“Real estate agents and industry insiders note the flood of residential dwellings being returned to the long-term rental market that, together with other factors, is seeing a shift downwards in rental prices.

“This must surely be welcome news to the likes of the Australian Council of Social Services (ACOSS) and others who work tirelessly on the depths of Australia’s housing affordability crisis.”

However, Ms Burt said that the contentious holiday stay platform is “vowing to return.”

“In order to increase their industry profile and continue looking after the interests of owners and managers in the STRA industry the Australian Short-Term Rental Accommodation Association (ASTRA) is offering free membership until end of September 2020 in order to boost its numbers and lobbying presence,” she said.

“And NSW Ministerial Diary Disclosures have State MP for Tweed and Airbnb supporter Geoff Provest – “short-term rentals are here to stay” – again visiting the Minister

Wardrop Valley masterplan underway despite criticism

Cr Ron Cooper believes Tweed Shire Council has a role to play in social and affordable housing despite his critics

Cr Cooper said older women without adequate superannuation are also at risk of rental stress.

“They too deserve the security of Wardrop Village and this is something we can provide,” he said.

“To reduce the personal distress and the social disruption that comes with the fear of becoming homeless.

“To prevent the downward spiral to depression, family violence, marriage break-up and the reduced ability to manage children.

“Beside these tragic personal and family outcomes, there is the community costs of the diversion of health and policing services.

“There is also a disruption to the education of all students as the impacts of family collapse are played out at school.”

Cr Cooper said many of these disruptions in life can be prevented “with the security, social support and affordability of Wardrop Village”.

COURT HOUSE HORTAELNT TAKEAWAY RESTAU

“Many people of all ages may never regain a job in the slow recovery from COVID-19,” he said.

“Their superannuation will stagnate and a return to the old Newstart payments will find them stranded in an ever-rising rental market.”

However, Cr Polglase believes the economics of the project “will not stack up” from Tweed Shire Council’s master plan.

“Council risks spending a lot of ratepayer funds, potentially 1.5 per cent of rates, to build such a largescale housing project,” he said.

Having previous experience with multi-housing developments, Cr Polglase said the costs can spiral and force Council into a difficult financial position.

“The cost can be enormous, and the project would need to be shovel ready in order to receive any potential state government funding – which it is not,” Cr Polglase said.

“But that’s all while deviating from Council’s core business of roads, rates and rubbish.

“Housing and social housing is a state government matter.”

Council’s media statement said options for funding of the Wardrop Valley project are currently being investigated.

“If the business plan stacks up, Council will seek a mix of grant funding and low interest borrowings,” Council’s statement said.

“If this funding is not available, the project won’t proceed.”

costings could be carried out,” Council said in the media release.

“Council will now consult with a community reference group before finalising concepts and undertaking wider community consultation.”

The community reference group was appointed in March following an open expression of interest process.

It includes representatives from several housing organisations such as North Coast Community Housing, S o c i a l F u t u re s, M o m e n t u m Collective and The Family Centre, as well as community members. The councillor representatives on the group include Mayor Katie Milne and Councillor Ron Cooper.

The process of refining and developing the concept masterplan will determine detailed costings for all elements and the financial viability of the project.

Cr Cooper said he believes the project was a necessity for the Tweed Shire Council to play a role in addressing homelessness and its flow on effects into the broader community.

“The Tweed Shire has the highest level of rental stress in regional NSW,” Cr Cooper said.

“The wealth gap continues to grow and younger people particularly are in a fragile position.

“They are often dependent on unreliable part-time and casual jobs in a tourism dependent economy.

By Jonathon Howard DETERMINED TO offer a lifeline to those struggling to find affordable housing across the Tweed Shire, Councillor Ron Cooper says the Wardrop Community Village project holds the key to help struggling residents live more dignified and independent lives.

But the project, which has this week entered the initial design phase, is not without its critics including Cr Warren Polglase, who fears Tweed Shire Council may be “biting off more than it can chew”.

The design phase of the Wardrop Community Village project includes the preparation of a draft site masterplan and some indicative concepts for housing design, with small homes the focus on a scenic elevated block owned by Council.

Council’s media release summed up the project as seeking to investigate the potential of Council to undertake a financially and environmentally sustainable development to “respond to the urgent need for more low-cost and affordable rental housing within the region”.

The Council-owned site is located along Wardrop Valley Road and adjoins the Murwillumbah Industry Central Estate, about five kilometres to the south-east of the Murwillumbah town centre.

“As part of the first draft of the Wardrop Community Village Masterplan, design consultant Diecke Richards has sought to further refine the original conceptual design to a level where preliminary

Bid to buy former Cabarita Caravan Park

By Jo Kennett A GROUP of local residents are hoping to save the former Cabarita Beach Caravan Park from being developed and are doing the figures on buying all or part of the property.

The site at 2-6 Tweed Coast Road went on the market on May 2 after two off-market offers of $6 million.

The 2.8-hectare site is home to The Hideaway, a glamping resort which opened in October last year after the property was bought by a syndicate of investors in 2018.

Bogangar resident and former Tweed Shire Council engineer Brad Woodford said there had been a lot of community interest in the proposal to keep the site in its current state.

“We are putting together a steering committee at the moment,” Mr Woodford told The Weekly.

“The first priority is to have a structure that protects people’s money and minimises any financial risk to any parties involved.

“We have a couple of people that have put their hands up that are well-versed in trust structures. I was involved in company management as an engineer and also company expansion and I worked in Asia for four years.

“That gave me enough experience to realise that pretty well anything is possible if you get enough people motivated and come up with a strategy that works for everyone, that’s key.”

The Weekly recently spoke to the agent, LJ Hooker Kingscliff’s Nick Witheriff, who said his agency had been approached by Tweed Coast Holiday Parks about the property, which Mayor Katie Milne confirmed.

“At this stage the Tweed Holiday Parks is undertaking due diligence including a Return on Investment analysis if we were to acquire and operate it under the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks brand,” Mayor Milne told The Weekly.

“Whether we proceed further or not will be dependent upon that analysis.”

Mr Woodford said he was interested in holding discussions with Council about the property.

“I think we could organise something with Council that would be advantageous to both parties,” he said.

“If the sellers wanted to be involved and just decrease their holdings that is possible too. We just have to consider everything.”

Mr Woodford believes it is not the right time for developers to take on the site.

“I don’t think serious investors would look at it as a good investment at the moment the way the economy is going,” he said.

“They would have to make a massive investment because you have to buy the land and it will cost a lot of money to build on it.

“Then, for instance, if there were nine townhouses you have to sell them for a high price. Any developer would have to be very cashed up and I think in this market they will struggle to sell them.

“Developers want to make their money quickly; they want to buy it, build it, turn it over quickly and I don’t think they would do that in this market, I think that is where they are going to struggle.”

Mr Woodford said ideally the group would recoup their money.

“I suspect it still will have a return based on some rough numbers I’ve done, we’ve got to look at the business cases and modelling more closely but I’m not going into it expecting to make volumes of money out of it,” he said.

“I’m doing it more for the community so that we own it and can keep the caravan/ glamping in the main street.

“We’ve had conversations with people from Uki and Murwillumbah who used to come to the caravan park for holidays and that’s the sort of thing I’d like to maintain.

“I think it comes down to principles of equality and it comes down to that holiday feel.

“I would like to do it in a way that would remain in perpetuity for future generations.

“That’s why I don’t see it as a money making venture, but more for the future generations.”

Expressions of interest close at 4pm on June 4 if the block is not sold earlier.

Councillors to consider plans for Murwillumbah Woolworths

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillors are keeping their cards close around whether to support a possible Murwillumbah Woolworths at the corner of Brisbane and Condong Streets, in what has attracted a range of passionate views this month.

The former Murwillumbah Bowls and Sports Club site was closed in 2012 and sold to Woolworth in 2018 for $2.5 million.

Woolworth had submitted a planning proposal to Tweed Shire Council for consideration in 2015.

All seven former councillors voted against the motion despite it being recommended for approval by Council staff.

The Weekly broke news of Woolworths expressing an interest in developing the site last week on Thursday, May 14, prompting a wave of both support and opposition from within the community (see letters page 4).

Long-time Murwillumbah local Mike Rayner wrote to The Weekly against the development, highlighting the need for a public meeting to discuss the proposal.

Mr Rayner is not alone in calling for a community meeting on the matter, with Cr Reece Byrnes also backing a consultative approach to any application.

Councillors are also scheduled to attend a workshop with Woolworths in June to discuss the project.

“A commercial development on the bowling club site will impact negatively on the Main Street precinct and create but a few additional jobs,” he said.

Mr Rayner said in 2015, Tweed Shire Councillors “put aside their differences and voted down the then rezoning application seven-nil”.

“The arguments not to support this application are more compelling now than they were then,” he said.

“If Woolworths want community feedback, they should call a public meeting. They may need a large venue.”

The Weekly contacted several current Councillors for their views on whether they would vote in favour of rezoning the site from recreational to commercial.

Councillor Warren Polglase, who voted against the proposal in 2015, said he would consider a future Woolworth application based “on its merits”.

Cr Polglase said he believed the supermarket landscape had changed following the closure of FoodWorks in Murwillumbah.

“I think the application has to be considered on its merits weighing up the positives and negatives,” he said.

“I think the issue here is whether there’s enough capacity in the Tweed Valley to accommodate a Woolworths.

“While I’m not going to say yes or no at this point, I believe we have to base our assessment on merit and weigh up the positives and negatives.”

Cr Polglase acknowledged local businesses could be impacted by a new valley-based Woolworths, but also pointed to local employment opportunities.

Cr James Owen said he was eager to hear more from the proponent

The site of the former Murwillumbah Bowls and Sports Club has become highly debated across the community this month

and Council staff in the June meeting.

“I’m interested to see what is presented at that workshop, which will help all councillors to start to understand what is being proposed,” Cr Owen said.

Cr Byrnes said he had received several calls “concerned about the proposed location” and the number of supermarkets in Murwillumbah.

“Other businesses are rightly concerned about further pressure on their businesses post-COVID-19,” he said.

“I believe Council needs to explore further community consultation on this matter before we proceed.”

Cr Chris Cherry said when the Woolworths application comes to councillors “we need to consider what the community wants”.

“We also need to do everything we can to support our small businesses

in the centre of town and question whether another large supermarket in this location will support these small businesses or be their death knell,” she said.

“If this pandemic has taught us anything, it should be that local fruit and veg shops, farmers’ markets and the general stores are the core of our needs for our community.”

Murwillumbah & District Business Chamber (MDBC) President Nick Moran said the committee had discussed the Woolworths proposal during a recent meeting and “there was varying strong opinions on both sides of the argument”.

“I don’t think this issue should be argued on ethical grounds,” Mr Moran said. “ We a r e d i f f e r e n t f r o m Mullumbimby or Maleny in that we already have a large corporate retailer in Coles, so the question

for me is whether the increased competition, additional local jobs, and incentive to remain in Murwillumbah for retail shopping would provide sufficient benefit to other local retailers to outweigh the inevitable negative impact on some businesses, as pointed out in your article last week.

“Personally, I would need to see very clear favourable numbers before the damage to local businesses becomes an acceptable, albeit regrettable trade-off.”

Mr Moran said this is a “complex matter” and added to the question o f wh e t h e r Wo o l wo r t h s i n Murwillumbah is appropriate, is the question of whether the former bowls club site is the best location.

“MDBC are currently discussing these issues with various stakeholders to better understand the likely impacts,” he said.

Bogangar residents get behind desperate country community that needs our help

By Jo Kennett TWEED LOCALS proved how big-hearted they were over the summer when two Bogangar couples called on the community to help out the tiny community of Hebel, near the NSW-Queensland border north of Lightning Ridge, which had suffered seven years of no rain and no income.

Now those same Bogangar residents are calling on the community to help once again, as the COVID-19 situation adds to the heart-breaking string of bad luck Hebel locals are experiencing.

Police seek assistance TWEED POLICE are seeking assistance to identify the two females depicted in the CCTV images below.

Police said they believe the two females can assist with ongoing investigations into an incident that occurred at Murwillumbah in February and March 2020.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw. crimestoppers.com.au.

Police reference number: E283813197.

John Cochrane said that seven years of drought was followed by a major flood that cut off the community in March and then the COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of the Hebel Hotel.

Unfortunately Merve Pullen and Kim York, the managers of both the pub and cafe, did not qualify for government assistance when the hotel was forced to close and now are in desperate need of help.

“They only took on the café because the prior owners walked out after trying to sell it for 18 months,” Mr Cochrane said.

“Merve and Kim did this to help the community by keeping

the Café/Post Office open, the next closest being Lightning Ridge, a 140km return trip.

“They have no income and no government assistance at all.”

Under current NSW Government legislation, even when other hotels are allowed to open, the Hebel Hotel will have to stay shut.

“When hotels are allowed to open, Hebel won’t be able to under the current rules,” Mr Cochrane said.

“The meals are provided by the café over the road, not on the hotel premises.

“Also the locals don’t come to the hotel for a meal, it’s the

social gathering after working on their farms all week.”

Mr Cochrane said the pub and café were vital to the wellbeing of the community.

“If these great people are forced to leave, the community as a whole will suffer as the café, which is also the Post Office, and hotel will probably never reopen,” he said.

“The Hotel and Café are also essential for the community’s mental wellbeing.

“They have endured seven years of drought, weeks of isolation after flooding rain in February, and now this.

“It really has taken its toll and they need our help now.”

Speed on Tweed rescheduled for 2021

By Jonathon Howard SPEED ON Tweed has been rescheduled from October 2020 to 2021 (date to be announced) due to the COVID-19 chaos despite reaching approval for the iconic event to return to Murwillumbah.

Thousands of motoring enthusiasts, locals and spectators were lining up to see the event return including our Queensland neighbours who were “super keen” on the event.

Speed on Tweed Vice President Dion Andrews said the event had received a range of green lights to go ahead but it was not possible to run the event in the best possible way.

“I don’t think it would be right to run a Speed on Tweed event if it wasn’t at its full capacity,” he said “It’s not just about the race it’s about having the community together and I dont think we can achieve that at this moment.

“It’s just too difficult to know the limitations of the event under the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Andrews estimated the event would have attracted up to 10,000 after receiving strong event engagement and club support from many car clubs, individuals and businesses.

Mr Andrews said the plan had received conditional support from the Sacred Heart Church and had also progressed through the Tweed Shire Council approvals processes

Speed on Tweed had all the momentum to return, according to the committee (inset photo taken prior to social distancing) but the event has been postponed.

including safety plans, road closures and traffic management.

“We had excellent discussions with the Sacred Heart Church with Father Anthony Lemon offering to do the pre-race prayer,” he said.

Mr Andrews said the Sacred Heart Church had offered to host services at a different location to allow to allow an early start and access to the track.

“We were grateful to the church and their support was fantastic, and they were all for the event,” he said.

Matt Fergus Speed on Tweed committee member said that due to circumstances with Covid 19 the decision had to be made to reschedule the event until 2021.”

Speed on Tweed President Michael Simmons added that the SOT committee has decided that 2021 will be the only option for the event at this stage.

“This decision has been taken in the best interests of the event and in the interests of the local community that have such high expectations for the delivery of a successful Speed on Tweed,” he said.

Mr Simmons said that the committee encourages the local community to get involved as volunteers for the event in 2021 and hope we can get just as much support behind it as we had for 2020.

Mr Simmons said the Tweed Shire Council had also approved with conditions the plans for the event

AUTOMOTIVE SUSPENSION & EXHAUST

and were happy to move towards the next phase of planning.

“As we already had in principal support from council and we had the approval for the new date, as long as key milestones were met by the committee as part of those conditions,” he said.

The race had also attracted a massive support from racing organiser icon John Tetley from Racers World, who would conduct the racing event.

Allan Singleton SOT Committee member said that “Mr Tetley was set to manage the race part of the event,” he said.

“This process was well advanced under John Tetley's leadership, and the professionalism that he had

brought to organising the event was outstanding.”

Mr Singleton said he was confident Mr Tetley would remain committed under the circumstances to the return of a Speed on Tweed Revival event in 2021.

Racing returned to many raceways this week with only time trials and ten vehicles, no passengers, allowed, with racing officially on hold until restrictions ease.

The committee have called a second meeting for Monday, May 25, to ratify the decision to reschedule and to discuss the return of sponsorship funds and discuss several other matters.

GET motoring Passengers using phones can draw a fine

By Jonathon Howard MANY TWEED Shire motorists would be unaware that passengers using a mobile phone could be fined up to $344 and three demerit points.

NRMA said in a media statement that the law was tested recently when Sydney driver Sheree Panetta turned to Facebook to tell her friends about a road rule she was penalised for.

“Tell your passengers to stay off their phones while you are driving, I got fined because my passenger was on FaceTime. Honestly didn’t know that was a thing,” she wrote.

Sheree received a $337 fine from NSW Police and lost three demerit points because her passenger was on a FaceTime call.

The offence, which was listed as ‘Drive vehicle with TV/VDU image likely to distract’ in Sheree’s fine, is an offence that’s covered in NSW by Road Rule 299 (1)(a).

The road rule states: A driver must not drive a vehicle that has a television receiver or visual

display unit in or on the vehicle operating while the vehicle is moving, or is stationary but not parked, if any part of the image on the screen (a) is visible to the driver from the normal driving position, or (b) is likely to distract another driver.

Although this road rule has left some motorists confused, these sanctions are pretty common on roads across the nation.

In NSW if a passenger is using a phone which has a display that’s visible to the driver, the penalty is $344 and three demerit points, or $457 and four demerit points if the offence happens in a school zone.

The exception to the road rule is if the passenger is using the mobile phone as an aid for the driver for directions, it’s secured to the vehicle by a fixture, and the driver isn’t touching the phone.

To ensure you don’t break the law, perhaps the next time your passenger is using their mobile phone while you’re driving, you might want to tell them to put it away.

“There will be a minimum and maximum pressure recommendation depending on the load – the maximum is the one to use. Check your spare, as well.

NRMA said giving your car a spring clean in the luggage compartments can help reduce fuel usage.

“Don’t keep heavy gear like golf clubs, your sports kit or tools in your vehicle if you’re not using them,” the NRMA spokesperson said.

“Aim to pack light as extra weight increases fuel consumption, particularly in urban areas where you’re often accelerating and braking.

“The NRMA has found that loading a vehicle up to its maximum-rated weight results in fuel consumption increasing by 24 per cent compared with an identical unladen vehicle.

“Take off roof racks if they’re not required – they add to aerodynamic drag which increases fuel consumption by up to five per cent.”

NRMA said it was important vehicle owners keep up the service maintenance which can also improve fuel consumption.

We understand the importance of keeping your vehicle in tip-top condition and on the road!

By Jonathon Howard FUEL PRICES have jumped by 20 cents across the Tweed Shire this week following easing of COVID-19 restrictions with prices bouncing from below $1 per litre to around $1.17 per litre and upwards.

But there’s good news for Tweed Valley residents who, at the time of print, were still able to buy fuel for under $1.15 per litre (unleaded).

NRMA has also released a guide for helping motorists save on fuel as prices begin to rise, including checking you tyres, luggage weight and having regular service checks.

“One of the most commonly neglected areas of a vehicle, tyres are also the only connection between you and terra firma,” a NRMA spokesperson said.

“Your vehicle is likely to be loaded with gear, passengers and even a trailer, so before you check your tyre pressure, have a close look at the tyre placard fitted to your vehicle.

BIG NIGHT

On the road to “normality” again, a few days ago cafés’ and restaurants have cautiously started to reopen. Despite being able to allow only a very limited number of guests for each sitting, I am sure that restauranteurs have attached a great importance to the first meal they can serve to their customers.

This reminded me of another relatively new classic, the 1996 American movie Big Night. It tells the story of two brothers who in the 1950s are operating a cozy restaurant in a New Jersey coastal town.

The two are immigrants from the south of Italy who talk to each other in a funny mix of Italian and English. Primo (“First” in Italian language) is a brilliant perfectionist chef with an uncompromising attitude towards clients who expect an “Americanized” version of Italian food, and holds a longing to return home. Secondo (“Second” in Italian) is the younger brother who works as the restaurant manager and is instead enthused by the American dream. But despite Secondo’s efforts and Primo’s wonderful food, their restaurant is failing and bankruptcy is approaching.

A supposed friend and competitor, who is successful because he compromises on the quality of his cuisine, offers to help them by bringing to their restaurant a famous musician who will help them with media exposure. The two brothers invest all their remaining money and energy in the preparation of a wonderful, sumptuous meal that will eventually leave the lucky few guests in awe but will also have unintended consequences.

I really enjoyed watching this brilliant, multi award-winning movie – which like all the classic movies I have written about recently is easily available on TV or via the internet.

Big Night is directed by Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci, who also acts in the film in the role of Secondo. All the other actors are excellent, and despite not being Italian – the only real Italian star in the movie is Isabella Rossellini – they manage to convey realistically the passionate and chaotic atmosphere of the Italian migrant community of the time.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE students have been keeping busy with their schoolwork from home during COVID-19 restrictions with several students finding creative ways to keep active.

During the lockdown, students and families decorated their homes and their driveways in the case of the Close family in Murwillumbah who used chalk art.

Mother-of-four young children Beck Close, said she had been juggling the household with home learning and finding creative ways to keep the kids inspired.

But it was her eldest daughter Keesia (pictured), in year six, who decided to get extra creative with some homemade chalk and created a terrific rainbow on the family’s driveway.

Keesia has a keen eye for colour and created the chalk rainbow which represented a spilled can of rainbow paint as well as writing some motivating slogans on the family’s garage.

“I really enjoy art and I’m hoping to someday work in the fashion industry,” Keesia said.

“Mum has been really helping with our home learning, but we’re looking forward to going back to school.”

Beck said her children, including Kahfeira who is in year four, Elka in year six and Zyon who is in preschool, were also enjoying the creative side of home learning.

Beck is a trained arts teacher and she enjoyed getting creative with the kids.

“It’s been a learning curve for the kids,” she said.

“But Mount St Patrick College, where the kids go to school, have been extremely supportive.”

OPEN THIS WEEKEND So, although the size of the meal in the film and those of today’s reopening restaurants may be different, the pathos of the day is similar, and deserves the community’s show of solidarity.

Ibis rescue goes smoothly for Rescue Squad

By Jonathon Howard TWEED DISTRICT Rescue Squad volunteers have come to the aid of a stricken Ibis in Knox Park, Murwillumbah, which had become entangled in fishing line on Tuesday, May 19.

The Rescue Squad said it was about 9.51am when they were called to assist the ibis.

“Now, after reading the job description and thinking it’s probably just resting in its natural habitat after devastating the bin next to KFC, we sent a crew down for a situation report,” the Rescue Squad posted online.

“Turns out this bin chicken had done itself a mischief and become tangled in the top of a tree on ibis island by fishing line.”

A dedicated crew donned swift water gear and used a raft to paddle across to the island, armed with the longest pole saw you are likely to see.

“A few swift and precise yanks on this bad boy allowed the tip turkey to be freed from the tree and was taken to King Street Vet for some love and care,” the Rescue Squad said.

“Shout out to one of the Tweed Shire Council work crew for lending the pole saw, and Tweed Byron Police for the moral support.”

By Jo Kennett WHILE COVID-19 restrictions are being relaxed, one bird lover says they have been a boon for birdlife at places like Hastings Point.

Marion Riordan said the lockdown “has been a blessing for the rare and remarkable birds of Hastings Point” and asked for the public to help protect their welfare.

“I’m one of many who’ve taken to bike riding during this time of slowdown,” she said.

“Rolling along the beach path from Caba to Pottsville at dusk I’ve become enchanted by the bird life.

“The little finches seem to bounce through the air along the foreshore from one banksia to the next – tweeting with joy.

“White breasted swallows can be seen on overhead wires snuggling up to each other in cozy little bunches.”

When the car parks were closed and there was less road traffic Ms Riordan said “the natural inhabitants seem to have reclaimed their place”.

“All you heard were a variety of bird calls – hearty chirping alongside the mysterious wails of seabirds,” she said.

“There were no longer any cars driving in and out, shining headlights onto the beach stone-curlew’s nesting ground.

“There were no groups of people traipsing on and off the sand over the dunal vegetation that is desperately trying to grow.”

Ms Riordan said she wondered how many people realised that the Hastings Point creek mouth is home to “incredibly rare birds including the shore-nesting little tern, red-capped plovers and sooty and pied oystercatchers as well as one pair of beach stone-curlews”.

“I wonder how many of us realise that there are only 20 estimated remaining in NSW making this pair very rare indeed,” she said.

“There has been only one little tern chick raised here since 1994, the plover no longer tries to nest here and only one or two oystercatcher chicks survive each year.

“But there is also some very good news; these beach stone-curlews actually hatched a chick in late 2018 and it fledged and actually flew off in 2019 – a rare event.

“The drought and scorching hot summer then caused the loss of an egg in late 2019 but yet another egg hatched early this year and it now remains to be seen if this fledgling survives.

“This tiny area of fenced foreshore is an oasis for other birds too – the oystercatchers are often seen there and local corellas and even galahs visit from time to time.”

Ms Riordan said that during this time of COVID-19 “we’ve shown we can be kind and caring of each other’s welfare with social distancing et cetera”.

“While left alone our native birdlife has had the chance to thrive,” she said.

“Maybe we can show the same kindness and thoughtfulness as we return to the

beaches with our traffic, people, pets and rubbish.

“Maybe we can take note of where these beautiful birds are nesting and feeding and keep well clear.

“As we have done for each other, we can protect their welfare by keeping our distance, respecting the dog ban, minimising traffic at night and by taking our rubbish when we leave,” Hastings Point Marine Biologist Ted Brambleby said local birdlife “has taken up a domestic regime”.

“They come here because people aren’t aggressive,” he said.

“It’s best if people leave the wildlife alone for a while.

“There is no guarantee there will be a COVID-19 vaccine so who knows when and if things will get back to normal.”

Mr Brambleby said his main concern was poaching on the rocky foreshore off Hastings Point headland.

‘It might give the rocky shore a bit of a rest,” Mr Brambleby said.

“The main thing I’m concerned about is people poaching sea urchins.

“Some of them are locals that come in there and just go for it. They have no idea of conservation.”

Waterspouts put on a show

By Jo Kennett THE TURBULENT weather has had some upsides, with numerous rainbows lighting up Tweed skies and waterspouts being captured by keen photographers along the Tweed Coast.

Ross Clacher and Melissa Moran went up to the Hastings Point headland late in the afternoon on Thursday, May 14 to look for whales.

They didn’t see whales but were lucky enough to witness two waterspouts – tornadoes over the water.

Ross managed to capture these great images on his Samsung S10 mobile phone.

“Initially there were two waterspouts but then they formed into one,” Melissa told The Weekly.

“Then another one started but they all vanished quickly.

“The credit for the photo has to go to Ross but I nagged him to take it!”

Make sure you get enough vitamin D between vitamin D and the number of cases and mortality in Europe.

An Irish study also highlighted the association between vitamin D levels and mortality from COVID-19.

Trinity College researchers say that vitamin D can “support the immune system through a number of immune pathways involved in fighting SARS2COV” and that many recent studies confirm the pivotal role of vitamin D in viral infections.

The authors proposed that optimising vitamin D levels would benefit bone and muscle health and was also likely to reduce serious COVID-19 complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with ventilation and death.

A 2017 world met analysis of controlled trials showed that vitamin D can significantly reduce the risk of severe respiratory infections like influenza.

However, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners says there is still insufficient evidence and are not recommending further testing.

“There isn’t enough evidence related to COVID-19 to say that we should be adding that to a set of tests at the moment or doing further what we normally would have done to deal with vitamin D,” Associate Professor Mark Morgan, Chair of the RACGP Expert Committee – Quality Care told newsGP. “I don’t think there’s enough evidence to make a change in practice at all.’

By Jo Kennett A RECENT study has shown that getting plenty of vitamin D, something in plentiful supply in the sunny Tweed Shire, could lead to a reduction in the number of cases of COVID-19 and reduced mortality.

The debate has been raging internationally for some time after a number of studies investigating the effect of vitamin D on the immune system and infections.

One local doctor thinks we should all get outdoors and exercise as well as taking other precautions to reduce the risk of contracting the virus.

“To reduce the risk of acquiring COVID-19 and of dying from it, we need not only social distancing and personal hygiene to avoid contracting the virus, but also to maximise personal resistance to it by non-smoking, eating healthfully and keeping active, preferably outdoors,” Dr Wes Allen told The Weekly.

“A recent European study showed a strong correlation between the national incidence and mortality of COVID-19 and the national average vitamin D level – the lower the level the higher the risk.

“The incidence per person is twice as high in Tasmania as in Queensland and the case fatality rate is nearly ten times higher (5.7 per cent vs 0.6 per cent respectively).

“The risk is higher for dark-skinned people and during winter and early spring, consistent with lower vitamin D levels.”

Dr Allen said that while the evidence wasn’t yet conclusive, “it would seem prudent to either take a vitamin D supplement or ensure sufficient sun exposure during winter”.

“To minimise the risk of skin cancer, it is wise to expose different parts of the body on different days and preferably before 9am or after 3pm.

“The darker the skin the more sun required.”

A study published in Aging Clinical and Experimental Research showed a correlation

REIKI and HYPNOTHERAPY Albert Einstein said: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them”.

Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master/Teacher & Metaphysician Create new, positive, permanent, life changing thought patterns with hypnosis. Can’t sleep? Desperate to quit smoking? Exasperated with your weight? Anxious? Needing selfesteem & confidence? Limited by fears & phobias? Let hypnotherapy change you and your life for good!

OUR sub-conscious makes up 9598% of our mind and contains a “mental movie” of everything that has happened in our lives. This is where our habits, behaviour, conditioning, feelings, fears, etc. based on our past experiences are

FEATURED BUSINESS

stored. We unconsciously draw on those old, unwelcomed, ‘familiar’ beliefs & attitudes until new ones are introduced. This is where Hypnotherapy comes in! To help increase and rebalance your energy flow and release blockages, as well as promoting wellbeing on every level, a Reiki treatment may be just what you need! Michelle has dedicated the past 25 years of her life helping people, transform, attain personal growth and higher levels of self-awareness. Her understanding of metaphysics offers holistic insight, clarity and simplicity to seemingly complicated issues. Call today to make the change that heals.

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement.

Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion.

THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS Cutaway section of a typical electric hot water heater

FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE.

“REMEMBER YOU CAN’T LOSE, NO ANODE REPLACEMENT NO CHARGE”

Nominate a volunteer hero

By Rachael Lebeter BARBED WIRE poses one of the greatest hazards to wildlife in the Tweed Shire.

Since July last year, 145 animals have been rescued from barbed wire fences including flying fox, microbats, sugar gliders, squirrel gliders, tawny frogmouths, other birdlife and even possums get caught.

Unfortunately, barbed wire often causes the death of native wildlife.

Animals caught on fences are at the mercy of predators and the weather.

They frequently become dehydrated and it can be hours before they are reported to Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers for rescue.

Many animals are caught on the wing. They clip the fence and become caught on a barb. Because they are moving at speed, the momentum sends them spinning around the wire. This can break delicate wing bones and the injuries are often very traumatic.

Flying fox are particularly at risk because they try to chew themselves free and damage their mouths, often irreparably.

The deaths of these animals are entirely preventable. Barbed wire is ubiquitous in the Tweed.

It fences almost every paddock from Chinderah to Clothiers Creek.

But it can be lethal to wildlife.

Fortunately, it is easy to prevent wildlife becoming caught on barbed wire fences.

Most of the barbed wire rescues are for animals that are caught by the top strand of the fence.

Flying Fox caught in barbed wire is a common site for the great pollinators of Australia, but a simple fix could save a lot of our precious bats writes Rachael Lebeter for Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers

This is because most animals are caught in flight. Simply replacing the top strand of the fencing with non-barbed or plain wire is enough to prevent most rescues. The fence will still contain cattle.

Barbed wire fencing is particularly hazardous to nocturnal animals because the wire is so difficult to see in the dark.

Making the top strand of the fence more visible also saves native wildlife.

This can involve painting the wire white or running electric fencing tape along the top strand, nonelectrified of course.

Residents in the Uki area have had a lot of success tying light-coloured plastic streamers and old CDs to fences in problem areas. These are cheap, effective options for existing fences.

If installing a new fence, also consider its positioning.

Animals are far more likely to be caught on fences that run around, along or through creeks and dams.

Just last week a TVWC volunteer waded into the middle of Crystal Creek to rescue a flying fox that

had been caught on a fence that ran across the creek.

Fences that run under or near fruiting plants are also a hazard, as are fences along ridges or hill tops.

If you are installing new fencing or re-fencing your property, consider the simple change to plain wire for the top strand of your fence.

Not only is it cheaper than barbed wire, it will also save countless native animals from injury and death.

If you see an animal caught on barbed wire or would like to learn more about wildlife-friendly fencing, call Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers on (02) 6672 4789.

If you do find an animal on a fence, please don’t approach it as it may further injure itself trying to get away.

Never try to release an animal or cut its wing. Please call our Hotline and we will dispatch an experienced rescuer trained in barbed wire removals.

Our Hotline is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Please call TVWC for all injured, orphaned or distressed wildlife.

NOMINATIONS ARE now open for the 2020 NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards, giving the community the opportunity to nominate selfless locals that have stood tall during drought, bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Both Member for Tweed Geoff Provest and Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin are encouraging residents across both electorates to get their nominations started.

“The last 12 months has been challenging for our community and there is no better time to recognise those local heroes who’ve gone above and beyond to help others,” Mr Provest said.

Ms Saffin said the NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards are a great way to recognise the incredible work of our volunteers.

“I would encourage everyone to nominate someone so we can make

this year’s awards the biggest yet,” she said.

The awards, run by The Centre for Volunteering, are in their fourteenth year and have grown to become one of the largest celebrations of volunteering in Australia.

You can nominate in seven categories including adult, young and senior Volunteer of the Year The ceremony for the Northern Rivers will be held on Thursday, September 10, where all our volunteers will be recognised and our regional Volunteer of the Year award winners announced.

• Regional finalists are invited to the State Ceremony at the end of the year, where winners are selected across each category and the NSW Volunteer of Year is announced.

Nominations close on Friday, July 3.

For more information or to nomination a volunteer please visit: www.volunteering.com.au/awards.

LOVE NANA & GRANDAD

There is always a face before us, A voice we would love to hear, A smile we will always remember, Of a brother we loved so dear.

Deep in our hearts lies a picture, More precious than silver or gold,

It's a picture of our brother, Whose memory will never grow old.

We will love & miss you forever, Clayton Yasmin & Jade

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey SURFING THE bowls archives recently resulted in many pleasant surprises regarding numerous Tweed Byron District’s current and past members, and Cudgen Leagues’ Elizabeth Fleming is one of those fine bowlers whose name rose to the surface in the pond of top performing bowlers.

Liz joined the Cudgen Leagues mother club in 1987 and then joined the Women’s Bowling Club the following year.

During her 32 years as a bowler at her club, she has won multiple championships at both Club and District levels including five District Singles and 20 Club Singles.

Liz’s highest achievement was to win the NSW State Singles Title in 2006 – drum roll please – as this was the first, and only occasion to date, that a Tweed Byron District bowler has ever won a NSW State Singles Championship Title.

Apart from Liz’s fine bowling record, there are many other aspects of the sport of bowls she has been involved in.

During the years since joining Cudgen Leagues WBC, this dedicated bowler/member has, and is still, holding numerous time consuming roles.

Liz has notched up 25 years at WBC Secretary; became an Accredited National Umpire in

1996 – and continues to officiate at many events, men’s and women’s; collected her Club Coach Certificate in 2009 and maintains a high level of coaching for new members and has been a member of the board of directors at Club Limited since being elected 10 years ago.

2013 presented with an especially memorable milestone in Liz’s journey at the Club as she was Awarded with Life Membership in recognition of her many years of loyal service. Elizabeth, take a bow, and may you enjoy many more years involved in what appears to be the love of your life – your beloved Club, the sport of lawn bowls and the members who mean so much to you.

Light at the end of the tunnel for surfing

AS RESTRICTIONS are easing, it looks like the brave new world of surfing will be coming forth soon.

Like most sports that are now preparing for recommencing, or starting their competition, surfing will be restarting in a small way, by the looks sometime in July.

So far all events in NSW have been cancelled up until July, with Queensland looking to start around the same time with the Queensland Junior Titles, which will have two rounds on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.

The SAE Group Australian Surfing Championships are still scheduled for Port Macquarie, NSW, August 7 to August 24, 2020, and the Australian Junior Titles still looking at December 2020. Once again this is all up in the air depending on how the COVID-19 situation evolves.

equipment using caution, therefore recommendations are that club events in May are postponed.

Surf school organisations are free to make their own decisions in terms of operation within the government mandated crowd guidelines in conjunction with their affiliated state association’s recommendations.

Based on the current advice from the Australian Government in relation to group gatherings, outdoor activity can be conducted outdoors with no more than 10 people with use of outdoor

In light of the latest federal guidelines for indoor sporting facilities, all indoor HPC programs remain closed with the exception of online services.

By Jo Kennett FOOTY FANS will be excited to know that the local NRRRL season is getting underway on July 18 and the players can’t wait to hit the field.

The NRRRL released a statement saying all 13 clubs have confirmed their support for the shortened competition.

The competition will run as a ten game season for all grades over two pools with each team to host five home games.

Murwillumbah Mustangs coach Nathan Jordan said the players couldn’t wait to get back into training.

“We had a Mustangs meeting last Wednesday and we had to fill in a questionnaire to see if we were interested in going ahead and they came back on Friday with a rough starting date,” Jordan told The Weekly.

“The boys are keen as to get back into training.

“We are trying to work out when we can start.

“We have three or four blokes that live on the Gold Coast – last year Ballina had heaps of players that lived in Queensland.

“It’s not that far to drive for us but we are waiting to hear from our committee about when we can get back on the field with the regulations.”

Jordan said most of the players have been training at home with the pandemic restrictions.

“Most of the boys keep fit themselves; they can’t go to the gym but I’m confident that they are pretty fit and we have been saying to keep working on it,” he said.

“We will find out when we get back.

“I’m an outdoor type of bloke and used to getting up early so staying inside, your sleeping patterns are out and it gets boring so I’m really keen to get back into it.”

He said the players are looking forward to working together.

“All the boys are busting to get out there as a team and be with their mates and have that sort of camaraderie again,” he said.

“I think we should be getting a playing schedule soon.

“We trained before lockdown and that was before daylight saving ended but now it gets dark at 5pm so we would have to train somewhere with lights.

“We are hoping to be able to train next week - I think you can do it in groups of ten.

“I was aiming for the Queensland boys to do their own thing and for us to train in groups of ten.

“We are waiting to get clarification on that.

“We don’t want to break any rules and stuff it up for everyone.”

The NRRRL said the season commencement is subject to change in government regulations with more details to be announced on June 2.

The WSL have now cancelled all events through June, and this moving feast as I can see it at present is just delaying the inevitable, with more rumours coming through on social media that the complete season may be cancelled soon. So what happens to unemployed pro surfers?

Surfing NSW CEO Luke Madden and partner of Accountants Willett Johnston Partners, Benjamin Johnston, are both urging all surfers who are ABN holders to be conscious of what their entitlements are.

“Many athletes and coaches that earn their income through an ABN as either a contractor or consultant (or in the instance of surfers, as professional athletes) will be entitled to claim the JobKeeper payment that has recently been passed by the Federal Government as part of the stimulus measures introduced to assist businesses and individuals deal with the economic impact of the coronavirus crisis,” Johnston said.

“With events being forced to cancel due to self-distancing rules, prize money for athletes has

stopped along with the ability to earn income.

Many sponsored athletes have also had their contracts either reduced by up to 50 percent and in some cases cancelled as surf brands struggle to cope with the economic impact of the crisis.

This decrease in turnover is a key determinant for eligibility for JobKeeper payments.”

The key areas of eligibility are as follows: - You are aged 16 or over - Your ABN was active on March 12, 2020 - You carried on business before March 1, 2020 - You can demonstrate that you pass the turnover test (meaning that your turnover has decreased by 30 per cent or more compared to the same month last year ie March 19 compared to March 20 or April 19 compared to April 20).

- You have lodged your 2019 tax return before March 12.

So in the ever changing world of surfing, there will be more changed coming soon. One thing on the bright side is that we look due for some pumping waves next week starting Sunday. Well they aren’t stopping us surfing and that is the big thing.

Catch you in the waves.
