Chaffey takes on ambassador role

Official Australia Day ceremonies in Tweed Shire will take on a slightly familiar feel this year as several of last year’s award recipients are set to play prominent roles.

Following a recent change in Council policy regarding Australia Day ambassadors, last year’s Tweed Shire Citizen of the Year Bill Chaffey will take on the duties of the Ambassador role as the start of a new Tweed tradition.

As well, last year’s Volunteer of the Year Mark Humphries will be Master of Ceremonies for the event to be held at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre from 11am on Friday.

Mr Chaffey, a five-time World Champion wheelchair triathlete, patron of the Tweed Shire Access and Tweed Shire Australia Day Ambassador for 2018 Bill Chaffey took gold at the 2017 Devonport Inclusion Awards and a 22-year NSW Triathlon Oceania Championships in March last year.

Kingscliff foreshore project enters the final stages An opening date for the new Kingscliff foreshore park is set to be announced soon with the project running months ahead of schedule.

Access through the park to the new beachfront stairs was opened before to Christmas, providing tempting glimpses of the extensive $22 million redevelopment.

And while the turf has been laid and most of the infrastructure is in place there is still a significant amount of important but less visible work to be completed before Council can safely open all aspects of the park.

Council’s Director Community and Natural Resources Tracey Stinson said Council was not yet able to give a date for when final approvals may be granted but it would be well ahead of the original mid-2018 projections.

“A lot of the remaining work is electrical to ensure all amenities including barbecues and lighting are safe and fully operational,” Ms Stinson said.

“I understand people are champing at the bit to start using the park but keep in mind the project as a whole is running about three months ahead of schedule.

“We should be in a position by February to announce an opening date.”

The project got underway in March 2017 with the start of construction on a permanent seawall to protect the area from erosion.

In addition to the new foreshore park, which will greatly improve access to the beach from Marine Parade, the project also has seen the redesign and upgrade of the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park.

President of the Kingscliff Chamber of Commerce Mark Humphries said they were pleased to hear work was still ahead of schedule after the holiday break.

“Council has done an excellent job of keeping local businesses informed at every stage of the process,” Mr Humphries said.

“There is obviously a lot of excitement among businesses and the community in general about the park’s opening.

“We look forward to the announcement of an opening date in the coming weeks.”

Plastic bag use survey Do you have something to say about the use of plastic shopping bags? Do you want your voice to be heard when it comes to shaping future campaigns to reduce their use? Step one is to take part in the online survey being conducted by North East Waste to get an accurate picture of their local use.

More than five billion plastic bags are handed out at the checkout every year in Australia and every state except NSW is committed to banning single use bags by 2018. North East Waste, which brings together seven area councils including Tweed, has big plans to reduce plastic bag use and their impact on the environment.

They have launched two separate surveys: one for community members and one for business owners, which will inform their efforts. All survey respondents will go in a draw to win a Live with Less Plastic pack, which includes reusable bags, a Keep Cup and other goodies.

You can find the surveys at: • Community members – www.surveymonkey.com/r/plastic_ bag_survey • Business owners – www.surveymonkey.com/r/business_ plastic_bag

Flood study gets funding Tweed Shire Council has welcomed $273,333 in Commonwealth and NSW government grant funding to improve its understanding and management of flood risk.

Council has received funding for three projects from the Floodplain Grants Scheme, jointly funded by the Commonwealth and State through the National Partnership Agreement on National Disaster Resilience.

“Our Council and our communities were caught unawares by the pace of the last flood in March 2017 so this funding, which will help us improve our flood intelligence and warnings systems, is most welcome,” Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said.

The biggest project funded is a $150,000 flood study of the South Murwillumbah business district and residential area.

This study will be similar to the one undertaken in the Central Murwillumbah area late last year.

It will be undertaken by external consultants and will examine flooding and the hydraulic characteristics of the South Murwillumbah/Condong floodway, including the effectiveness of the current levee system.

The findings of the study will then inform development controls in the region and provide a floodplain risk strategy, including potential property modification measures such as land acquisitions and structural works to maintain or improve the efficiency of the floodway.

Then, $77,333 has been provided to install two more rain gauges and a series of stream gauges to improve flood warnings in the Burringbar, Mooball and Crabbes Creek area. There currently are two gauges in the area.

Finally, $46,000 has been provided to incorporate the Tumbulgum gauge into the Bureau of Meteorology flood warning network.

This will improve predictions of flood height in the mid catchment by including influences from the tide and Rous River and will improve flood warnings and real-time evacuation planning.

Replace your old shower and get a refund from Council

Saving more than 15,000 litres of water per year and up to $100 in water and electricity costs is as easy as installing water-saving showers, basin and sink spouts, mixers, aerators and flow controllers or regulators.

Council provides homeowners a 50 per cent rebate on the purchase and installation of approved water saving products such as showers and tapware.

If you upgrade your outdated showers and tapware with water efficient products, Council will refund 50 per cent of the total purchase and installation costs for eligible products to a maximum of $100.

For further information on the rebate program, including terms and conditions and the application form, please visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/ WaterRebate or call Council on (02) 6670 2400.

Donation could save lives Council’s General Manager, Troy Green (centre) inspects the Tweed District Rescue Squad’s new ‘jaws of life’ and stateof-the art rescue vehicle, with volunteer Jamie Stoddart (left) and TDRS secretary, Drew Carr. Council presented the squad with this year’s annual donation from Council of $32,255. The TDRS are the primary responders for road crash rescue, marine rescue, vertical rescue and many types of specialist rescue encountered by emergency service personnel in the Tweed. The new vehicle was purchased and fitted out with the assistance of Solo Resource Recovery, Leather FX, Whelen and Frizelle Sunshine Automotive.

Weir watchers wanted Members of the community interested in assisting Council to identify a solution to protect Bray Park Weir from tidal inundation have one more week to nominate to join Council’s Project Reference Group (PRG).

Nominations for the group close next Wednesday, 31 January.

Final membership of the group will be decided by Council at its February or March meeting. The first meeting of the group is expected to be around mid March.

Council is asking for eight members of the community, representing larger stakeholder groups of landowners, critical water users and water carters, to nominate to join the group to help identify issues to be addressed and to identify and assess possible solutions to the problem.

Two councillors will work with the group, along with Council officers and independent expert consultants yet to be engaged.

Members of the group will be expected to communicate with their wider stakeholder group bringing their interests and ideas to the table, and report group discussions back to them.

Council has not identified the options it has to mitigate the risks of overtopping, rather leaving this work for the Project Reference Group. It is expected that at the end of its work, the Group will make a recommendation to Council on its preferred way forward for consideration by Council.

Anyone interested in nominating for the Group is asked to register their interest in participating in the PRG on the Bray Park Weir Tidal Protection Project page at yoursaytweed.com.au, where they’ll also find the group’s Terms of Reference and a Nomination Form.

This year, predicted tides indicate there will be at least 12 occasions when there is a risk of the weir being overtopped during high tides. Council has put interim measures in place to mitigate these immediate risks in the form of a concrete block wall, which it can place on the weir wall quickly to temporarily raise the water level of the weir and downstream flow to hold back the upstream tide.

Temporary concrete blocks placed part-way across the wall of the weir raise the water level of the downstream flow to hold back a run of high tides at the beginning of the year.

Ups and downs of waste Results for the first six months of operations under the new 3 bin system for household waste show it is having a significant impact.

The new system was introduced on July 1 to urban houses and duplexes across Tweed Shire with the goal of reducing the amount of organic material ending up in landfill.

During the first six months of operation, there was 6542 tonnes of material collected in red lid bins, compared with 9620 tonnes for the same period in 2016, a reduction of 3078 tonnes or 32 per cent.

Organic waste in the green lid bin has increased from 2723 tonnes to 6166 tonnes, an increase of 3443 tonnes or 126 per cent.

Yellow bin recycling figures also have improved from 5668 tonnes to 6017 tonnes, an increase of 349 tonnes or six per cent.

Tweed Shire Council Waste Operations Officer Wes Knight said the figures show Tweed residents are making the right decisions when disposing of waste in their homes.

“These findings show more than 3000 tonnes of organic waste which would have ended up in landfill has instead been diverted to become an important, environmentally friendly asset,” Mr Knight said.

“The credit for this goes to people who have shown they care about the environment and their community by changing their habits and getting their families to do the same.”

Mr Knight said the rise in yellow lid bin recycling figures was something of a surprise but may reflect a greater level of awareness of what goes in each bin.

“Soft bag-like plastics are still a bit of an issue and these should be going into the red lid bin,” he said.

“It will be interesting to see what happens to the yellow bin figures in the future as people take advantage of the new NSW container deposit scheme; use their green lid bin to dispose of paper or cardboard; or upsize to a larger red lid bin.”

The figures also show a significant drop in bulky waste collection, from 1488 tonnes to just 323 tonnes, in the first six months after Council introduced an on-call collection service.

“The service simply wasn’t very busy in the first four months or so of operation,” Mr Knight said.

“Gradually things have picked up however and it is now operating at full capacity.”

On exhibition – have your say Proposed Charges for Organics 140L Bin and Asbestos Testing Kit 2017/18 Notice is given that it is proposed to amend the following fees and charges: At the Council meeting of Wednesday 13 December 2017, Council resolved to place the following proposed charges for the 140 litre organics bin of $75 and asbestos testing kit of $45 per 2017/18 annum on public exhibition for 28 days.

Request for offer RFO2018002: Major Flood Repair Work – Landslip Repairs Bundle 6 Offers close: Wednesday 4pm (DST) 14 February 2018.

In response to your requests – Council will be holding an additional public information event to answer your questions about the recently exhibited draft Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan.

During the months of November and December 2017, 13 public and industry information sessions were held at locations around the Tweed to enable land owners to learn about and ask questions surrounding the Council’s draft Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan (draft Plan).

In response to a small number of community members letter dropping pamphlets to their wider community and raising their concern about the purpose and potential implications of the draft Plan, an additional information event has been organised for: • Wednesday 7 February 2018 – Banora Point Community Centre, corner Leisure Drive and Woodlands Drive Banora Point, 5 – 6.30pm.

The information event is open to all members of the public.

Offers must be lodged as specified in the offer documentation.

Request For Offer documentation is available at no charge from Council’s website at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/tenders. Hard copy documentation is available and costs will be in accordance with Council’s advertised photocopying fees.

All Offers will be opened at closing time and will be considered by Council in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Act 1993 and the NSW Local Government (General) Regulation 2005. The lowest or any offer is not necessarily accepted and canvassing of Councillors or staff will disqualify.

For further information please contact Vince Pirrottina (02) 6670 2109.

Council vacancies

Under State legislation since 1974 there have been specified requirements for avoiding ‘harm’ to specific Aboriginal cultural heritage. This obligation, largely on land owners, is a punishable offence when certain requirements are not met and the Council’s draft Plan endeavours to make it easier to understand and follow a process for achieving compliance. The need for compliance may typically arise with new development requiring approval or consent, but is also more widely applicable to land use activities or works generally irrespective of their size or scale.

Administration Officer – Recruitment (Contract/Part-time)

The draft Plan applies Shire-wide and consists of a mapping and management framework. It is consistent with the NSW State legislation and guidelines. Submissions on the draft ACHMP will be accepted up to the close of business on Friday 16 February 2018.
