town fire of 1907 and was rebuilt in 1908, but burnt down again in 1929. The Imperial we know today was constructed from 1930 to 1931. The architectural style of the building is Spanish Mission blended with Art Deco features The plans suggest the space could offer more commercial offices and retail outlets, with the added gem of a bar where the previous bar had been. The plan includes new 1930s tile flooring to the bar area and a new bar to the style of the original 1930s tiled front. Lights will be reinstated to replicate ceiling roses throughout the bar area. The building also requires a new roof to the rear of the building. “New roof will be corrugated metal sheeting to replace the existing, worn sheeting. New roofing is required across the rear section of the building due to water ingress causing internal damage,” the report reads “Replacement and matching of missing wall tiles in the bar and repair and exposure of the original ceiling in the area behind the bar. “Reinstatement of lights to replica ceiling roses throughout the bar area. “Re-roof the rear section of the building.

THE ICONIC Imperial Hotel bar could soon re-open after a development application was recently submitted to Tweed Shire Council revealing plans to include a 1930s-style bar along with retail and commercial space. According to the development application, which was on display until Wednesday, April 10, the proposed works for the Imperial Hotel involve mainly internal works. While the application recognised the building as not having heritage listing, the application also highlighted a plan to maintain the building’s heritage appeal. “The building is within a heritage conservation area and as noted, contributes to the overall heritage values of historical and diverse architectural design for the main street, however it is not currently a listed heritage item,” the report reads. “This assessment has noted local level significance in relation to its history, its associations and its aesthetics.” The plan, which was submitted by Jim Glazebrook & Associates has been instructed by Shane Nugent of Penplay Investments Pty Ltd, who is the property owner and applicant. The new works are for the ground-floor area and propose a new exterior door to Murwillumbah Street where there is currently floor to ceiling glass and timber panels. The comprehensive plans detail the building’s history from being burnt down multiple times to changing hands including Toohey’s Brewery Pty Ltd. The original Imperial Hotel was burnt down in the great

Principals: Peter Grant & Stuart Brady FIREFIGHTERS FROM across NSW converged on the Tweed Shire during the past week to offer a helping hand where needed in the clean-up and assess the extensive damage for safety. The teams, known as the Rapid Damage Assessment Team, joined with local firefighters to assess more than 15,000 properties for safety across the Tweed Shire using a sophisticated mapping system. The digital map pinpoints each site visited by crews and which is later given a rating, using a colour code, to determine the condition of the property and whether further assistance is needed. Areas where the firefighters originated included Forestville, Wollongong, Newcastle, Berkley Vale, Burwood, Liverpool, St Marys, Chester Hill, Narrabeen and Blue Mountains.

Several crew said the most inspiring part about their visit was the strength and support they saw from within the community. “The support for people helping each other, has been amazing,” one of the firefighters said. “It’s a real testament to the region and there’s a lot of support in this community.” NSW Firefighters Duty Commander Regional South 2, Division Commander, Bruce Fitzpatrick said the Tweed Shire had 51 firefighters come in from across the State. “The primary task was to check the welfare of residents, assess damage and check livestock,” Division Commander Fitzpatrick said. “The crews covered more than 15,500 properties in 10 days, but they’re scheduled to return home today (April 11).”

Letter of the Week

Many smaller communities were on their own and must prepare to be even more independent. People helped neighbours with tractors, with canoes with spades and with packets of pikelets. This is something we need to build on and not let wither. The warning from Tweed Climate Action was not acted upon because too many decision makers do not accept the reality of climate change or the contribution that community can make. That has to change because the wild ride of global warming has barely begun. Greg Reid, Mount Burrell

Where’s the empathy Prime Minister?

The Prime Minister visited Murwillumbah last week offering small business low interest loans to recover from the devastation of the flood. He showed he had no empathy for small business and he demonstrated he is out of touch with the Australian community by providing $320 million to Afghanistan the next day. It is well and truly time to look after our own first. Gerry Matthews, Kielvale In the last issue (TVW April 6) an article with the headline “The flood that no one saw coming” but this statement is not strictly true. In May of last year, the Tweed/ Byron Emergency Management Committee received a warning of faster floods with higher peaks and less warning, most likely in Autumn. The projection was a technical analysis of official modelling submitted by Tweed Climate Action. T h e re a l l e s s o n f ro m t h at devastating flood is that conditions are changing and we can no longer rely on past experience or plans. To adapt to the new challenges will require a whole community response. The community rallied to help friends, strangers, emergency workers and council staff. Now the community must become part of the recovery and part of the preparation to reduce the impact of the next extreme event. That means preparing your home, your emergency kit and an evacuation plan. It means supporting local businesses and localities that have been hit hard. It means rebuilding with future impacts in mind and it means that emergency services have to accept the community as a partner. Despite the best efforts of emergency volunteers and council staff they could not be everywhere.

Flood story - please support local businesses

Thursday, March 30, floodwater entered Prospero Street at about 2pm and inundated business premises late that afternoon. Friday afternoon water had receded from its road height of approximately 2.1 metres in the street to knee height enabling entry to shop premises to rig up hoses to get rid of the mud. By 6.30pm Friday mud was being hosed out of premises and by 10pm Prospero Street had no water over it except for the low lying area between the public toilet block and the last building on the right hand side before crossing Cliffords Lane. This allowed a car to be driven into the street to give the shop owner hosing out his premises, a hot meal. By Saturday morning mud and rubbish piled up in the street. Monday with no help forthcoming from Council enterprising and resourceful business owners in the street appealed to Solo who brought huge skip bins down which were subsequently loaded all by hand on the Monday and Tuesday (In total five). Two fire trucks arrived from Kempsey and Sawtell and hosed the street. Small business owner Craig Price from “Above the Earth Property Services”, Pottsville heeded the desperate call and worked his bobcat and excavator to clear the enormous amount of rubbish left. This lasted all day and he came back again on Thursday clearing part of Holstons Lane. A mammoth task! We recommend Council remunerate this small business man. It was deemed as a matter of urgency that the businesses should start operating as soon as possible. Survival of the town will depend on this, especially with the businesses in the industrial estate suffering enormous loss and staff not being able to work. We hope that they can overcome this huge set back to help with the rebuilding of the economy of the town. Make no mistake our

commercial future and the future of Murwillumbah is now at stake. Community spirit was almost overwhelming with people giving out food, coffee and water over days and asking the question, “are you alright?” We thank those generous people for being there. Please support the town by buying local. Michael and Cheryl Pric, Bray Park

Pressure needed more than ever on Tweed developers

Now the water has receded it’s time for Kingscliff residents to demand an immediate rethink from Tweed Shire Council on some dangerously rash plans for proven flood-prone land. First, the planned link road from the Coast Road, south of Noble Park and Kingfisher Crescent to the Turnock Street-Elrond Drive roundabout. On the Saturday of the floods the water level came to within a metre of the end of Bellbird Drive and the back fences of properties on the south side of Kingfisher Crescent. The canal between Noble Park Estate and the west side of Bellbird Drive was within one and a half metres of properties in Bellbird Drive. In 2001, the water came to back fence level in both Bellbird and Kingfisher. The fill required for a safe linkroad would raise the flood level well over the inundation mark for the whole block between Kingfisher Dr and Monarch Avenue; and render the Coast Road impassable at that point. The current approval to fill and build on the south side of Turnock St between the Library and the Shopping Centre requires a similar rethink. This time the water was within two metres of both north and south sides of Turnock Street. In 2001, the water was lapping the edges of the road. On last week’s experience, three metres of fill on the south side of Turnock would put a metre of water over the road and flood the shopping centre. This time the floodwaters were tidal-only from the canal. In 2001, it was a mixture of both topographical and tidal. There is no fix within the financial resources of Council and the once in 100-year rule has been rendered a bad joke; 1954, 1974, 1989, 2001, 2006, 2017. For Council to proceed with either the access road or the Turnock Street development would be a complete betrayal of ratepayers in the Monarch Drive-Kingfisher Crescent precinct. We need a definitive statement from Council that some common sense will prevail over developer pressure and Planning Department “Grand Designs”.

On behalf of the Murwillumbah District Business Chamber, I would like to thank Guy Diven and all staff at the Murwillumbah Services Club involved in the hosting and set up of our Business Recovery Forum. The Forum was held last Friday 7th April and was attended by over 300 business people. The Services Club provided complimentary pastries, fruit, tea and coffee for all attendees. In addition to this, the Club staff organised the seating and refreshments in a very professional way that helped to ensure that the Forum was a success. Everyone attending was made to feel very welcome at the Club, and nothing was too much trouble for the staff with regard to organising additional seating when it became obvious that the crowd was going to be much bigger than expected.

Light rail may never arrive

I see the question of light rail for the Tweed Coast has cropped up, no doubt prompted by the installation currently operating on the Gold Coast and running on the public roads. I don’t know if this is feasible on the Tweed Coast roads, or the Pacific Motorway, as this is the only way I could see how to cross the Tweed River. Maurice Yemma and Peter Beatty, when they were Premiers of NSW and QLD, met at the boarder and signed a letter of intent to extend the QLD Railway from the Gold Coast Airport to Byron Bay and possibly even Ballina, and that’s all that ever happened. There was no further planning and I have heart that the extension of the rail line to the airport has blown out the 2032. Neville Chivers, Kingscliff

Well here it is again flooded Lismore and Murwillumbah, good to see the Prime Minister and Premier of NSW there and the three state members who have done very little for our area but no Labor member. I hope with fingers crossed they may realise that this end of NSW does exsist and that the Tweed needs a lot of help. Instead of being a tax grab, they must get the rail back as soon as possible to get the tourist dollar instead of wasting money and time on a rail trail which nobody will ever use. All the bike tracks around Tweed Heads are always empty nobody uses them to what I have noticed. I think Phil Taylor has the right idea by moving out as this could happen again next week with climate change. Wake up the people of the Tweed Shire and get rid of these pollies that do nothing, my sympathy to all that lost everything. I have seen this many times as 20 years a volunteer firefighter in Victoria. Gordon Lee, Tweed Heads

It was about eight years ago when the Federal Government, Centrelink and private financial planners advised pending retirees, especially baby boomers, how important it was to plan your retirement. Those taking the advice from all those who professed to know, worked hard to top up their superannuation and investments with the knowledge provided that income from savings may not be sufficient for the future. With genuine advice from Centrelink Financial Officer that a part aged pension could be available to assist in the shortfall, pending retirees set their plans. Behold, some 18 month or so ago the plans were all out the window with the announcement of the new asset test rules now in place, about 400,000 aged pensions recipients have found their pension has been largely reduced or lost completely. This action by the Federal Government was done to save the public purse and make age pensions sustainable into the future. I suggest at this time politicians lead by example to save the public purse and have an asset test applied for receipt of their own more than generous pension scheme, which requires little of their own funding.

It will be useful for the community to acknowledge the tremendously courageous act of Stephanie King who died with two of her children when their car plunged into the Tweed River at Tumbulgum. Having despatched a daughter to get help, Stephanie King let go any attachment to her body and became love. She realised love. Love is beyond the mind and any self consideration. This is the stuff that myths are based on, but this was no myth, this was reality. We are hybrid beings - form and formlessness. But essentially, we are consciousness, we are love. Don Findlay, Coolangatta

The purpose of the Forum was to gather as many business people as possible to come along to gain information about the recovery after the flood and also to ask questions of a selected panel of key people involved in the flood recovery. The Forum was organised by the Murwillumbah District Business Chamber, with assistance from the NSW Business Chamber. Once again, thank you to the Services Club staff for their warm welcome toward everyone who attended our Forum. Helen Stubbin, Murwillumbah

Flood recovery forum hears passionate views after extensive losses

IT WAS a full house at the Murwillumbah Services Club for the Flood Recovery Forum hosted by the Murwillumbah & District Business Chamber in conjunction with the NSW Chamber of Commerce last Friday, April 7. More than 200 people turned out to voice some of their experiences with expressions of anger including unanswered questions as well as acknowledging those who helped during one of the worst natural disasters in Tweed’s history. The meeting attracted a range of speakers including O’Connors Transport owner Paul O’Connor and his wife Sue, South Murwillumbah Post Office owner Katherine Butterworth, Mayor Katie Milne, Euan Ferguson from the NSW Premier’s Office, Australian Business Lawyers and Advisors Warrick Le Hood and sporting great and NSW Blues coach Laurie Daley alongside local business owners. Panel members who fielded questions included Member for Lismore Thomas George MP, Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot MP, Tweed Police Superintendent Wayne Starling, Council GM Troy Green and Chris Christosmos from the SES. Mr O’Connor was invited to speak about the devastating impact to his trucking business which along with neighbouring businesses, in the southside industrial area, which were inundated by floodwaters and have a growing list of expensive resources damaged beyond repair. Mr O’Connor said the company has eight sheds and is currently operating out of one 24-hours per day, with his staff putting in an enormous effort. “Support from the staff and whole town has been amazing,” he said. “I would like to acknowledge and thank the local council, teachers and all those helping to clear out our sheds.” Mr O’Connor and his wife Sue were about to celebrate the company’s 70th anniversary when the flood hit them hard with questions looming over their future. “Couldn’t be prouder of the town and the people that have supported us here. Support the businesses in Murwillumbah,” Mrs O’Connor said. O’Connor’s Transport lost millions-of-dollars in stock and its own equipment and with truck damages also running into the millions, he said several businesses including Stone & Wood had already called Mr O’Connor to say they would replace the stock, essentially carrying the debt. “Stone & Wood has been amazing and they sent several of their staff with food and help, it was such a big help and then they did it again the next day,” Mr O’Connor said.

Murwillumbah & District Business Chamber acting president Ilze Jaunberzins said Murwillumbah businesses are the “grid of Murwillumbah, the structure that holds the whole social fabric together”. “The grid is micro to macro buisnesses, agriculture, arts, manufacturing, tourism commercial and service. “Everyone in business in Murwillumbah has been affected – everyone.” “We are at a critical point that businesses are at risk of closing,” she said. “They need support from locals and continued support.” South Murwillumbah Post Office owner Katherine Butterworth questioned the response from Tweed Shire Council as well as State and Federal Governments and local Police, and asked why the army was not called to assist. “Why couldn’t more have been done when the businesses needed it most, why couldn’t the army have been called in to help,” Mrs Butterworth questioned. Mrs Butterworth also criticised a Police patrolling vehicle who she said visited South Murwillumbah, after reports of looting, but the officer(s) “did not get out of their car”. She did heap plenty of praise on the broader emergency services response, on volunteers including the Mustangs and all the extra support from the community to help in the recovery. Mayor Milne said Council was considering voluntary house purchasing and encouraged those wanting to move on to speak to council. The meeting also raised criticism over low interest loans, which have been offered to a maximum of $130,000, and were encouraged by Councillor Pryce Allsop. Cr Allsop said a small business could use the funds to ensure they recover strong and “they don’t have to use it all”. The interest rate on the loan is free for a initial period followed by interest at around 1.5 per cent. “All I’m saying is you can use the funds and when you can to recover and then give back what you don’t need,” he said. Emotions were running high during the meeting and several questions angered some during the forum, although everyone agreed the community can recover. The meeting also called for a rally to take place on Friday, April 14, to call on the government to provide greater assistance. Federal member for Richmond Justine Elliot said she was going to put more pressure on the State Government to lift the disaster zone category to a Category C which would allow further support. “We need to get this new category C listing to get the State

Government to give what’s needed in the affected communities,” she said. Member for Lismore Thomas George said he disagreed with Mrs Elliot’s call for a Category C listing. “I don’t think the category C listing is what is needed as Justine suggested,” he said. “Because it won’t help unless the right assistance is directed to the right places,” All politics aside, Blues Coach Laurie Daley attended the meeting, arriving early to meet with locals and fans and staying late. Mr Daley gave an impassioned speech that he said compared to speeches he would give his players, and he also emphasised a committment to help where possible. “As everyone knows the Blues are training in the Tweed Shire this May and I want you to know we’re going to do everything we can to help out as much as possible,” he said. “One thing we always talk about in rugby league is an acronym called WIN, what’s important now and what’s important next. “That’s what I give my advice for them to focus on for the whole 80 minutes. “I want to say to you we’re in the community for the next two months.” Mr Daley said people need to keep talking to each other especially men. “You need to care for one another look out for one another, stick together and work hard and in five years time you’ll look back and know you fought back. “I’ll be back in about two weeks time, but again make sure you look after one another and stick together.”

THE LEGAL LIGHT! How far does my privacy go? Consider these three privacy incidents: *The Minister for Human Services releases to a reporter the personal details of a welfare recipient who had publicly criticised the government. *A woman secretly places a hidden camera in her father’s room in a nursing home to film what happens because she fears he is being abused by a staff member. *A CCTV camera in an apartment block records a couple who are not married to each other in an intimate activity in the lift. All these incidents raise questions of privacy, which is an increasingly vexed legal issue in today’s world of hi-tech surveillance and the storing of personal data on all of us. “There are laws in place designed to protect privacy in certain conditions, but it is not absolute,” said Stacks Law Firm solicitor Anneka Frayne. “We give personal information to the government on the understanding that it will be held secure and not released to others. We go about our work on the understanding that we are not under surveillance unless we are told we could be.” The government claimed the disclosure of private information of a welfare recipient was legal under section 202 of the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999 and other laws. That section allows the release of protected information to facilitate “efficient and effective delivery of a work-related service”. “Whether this is sufficient justification to release personal data of critics of a government service would make an interesting legal test case,” Ms Frayne said.

Insurance pains and Category C disaster listing MANY TWEED families and businesses continue to face an uncertain future as the second week of recovery draws to an end with questions hanging over insurance claims and a local political push to advance Tweed’s disaster category from B to C. As with previous natural disasters it can be classifying whether your property was flood damaged or storm damaged that can determine your insurance payout, but to get a clearer understanding of the difference, The Weekly spoke to Insurance Council of Australia General Manager for Media Campbell Fuller. “Tropical Cyclone Debbie caused wind, rain and flood damage to homes and businesses stretching from northern Qld and northern NSW. Typically, all policyholders are covered for cyclone and storm damage,” he said. “Flood cover is available to all Australian homes and businesses, but policyholders with greater exposure will normally pay a higher premium to reflect the risk. “More than 96 per cent of all household insurance policies purchased include cover for flooding under the Federal Government’s standard definition, though customers can also choose policies that exclude flood cover or permit policyholders to opt out. “Businesses can elect to buy flood cover as a policy extension from a wide range of companies, either through a broker or direct from the insurer. “When determining a claim, the insurer focuses on the cause of the damage to each insured property, rather than the classification of an overall weather event. Each policy is different and insurers assess every claim on its merits, often with the help of specialists such as hydrologists. “The ICA suggests policyholders who have suffered a financial loss as a result of Cyclone Debbie and the subsequent storms and floods should lodge a claim and the insurer will see what assistance can be provided under the policy.” The Association also supplied the 2012 Federal Government standard definition of flood to provide greater certainty for insurers and policyholders. “The definition of flood is the covering of normally dry land by water that has escaped or been released from the normal confines of any lake, or any river, creek or other natural watercourse, whether or not altered or modified; or any reservoir, canal or dam,” the definition reads. But for those without insurance coverage, including those to businesses there’s now a local political push to classify

The opposition has referred the matter to the Australian Federal Police, arguing it was a breach of privacy. In the second case of the woman who secretly filmed an Adelaide nursing home employee abusing her bedridden father, she took the video to police. “Initially the nursing home accused the daughter of breaching all sorts of privacy laws, but the crucial video evidence was found to be admissible in court, and the employee was convicted of aggravated assault,” Ms Frayne said. In NSW bugging comes under the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 and generally requires the user to notify people who may be filmed that they could be recorded. Under the law it is generally an offence to record a private conversation or film a location secretly, but there are exceptions such as recording threats or abuse. It is legal to install surveillance cameras on your property, but not in bathrooms or bedrooms without the consent of the person being filmed. It would be an offence to share raunchy CCTV footage from the apartment lift or post footage showing sexual abuse on social media. comment

Tweed at a Category C disaster, which would allow for grant funding to help support small businesses. The call for Category C came first came from Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot, who said she had written to both Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian to have the listing upgraded. Activating Category C assistance under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements [NDRRA] for the North Coast farmers and businesses would provide clean up and recovery grants rather than low-interest loans. Category C assistance is for severely affected communities, regions or sectors and includes clean-up and recovery grants for small businesses and primary producers and/or the establishment of a Community Recovery Fund. Category C assistance is only made available when the impact of a disaster is severe. It is intended to be in addition to assistance under Categories A and B and is usually considered once the impacts of the disaster on affected communities have been assessed. Category C assistance is requested from the states and requires agreement from the Prime Minister. Mrs Elliot and NSW Shadow Minister for the North Coast Walt Secord issued a joint media statement pleading for Prime Minister Turnbull and Premier Berejiklian to rubber stamp Cat C. State Members Thomas George MP and Geoff Provest MP have also backed the call in a rare show of unity, as Category C allows for grant funding. Thomas George and Geoff Provest said they had been working around the clock to gain assistance for our flood affected communities. “Category A has already been declared. Category B has been declared for Tweed Shire Council and Lismore City Council area which offers assistance to anyone needing urgent support. Residents needing help should contact the Disaster Recovery Centre at the Murwillumbah Community Centre which is open 9am-6pm everyday,” Mr George said. “We are now working with Euan Ferguson, the Disaster Recovery Coordinator, Tweed Council, the Murwillumbah Business Chamber and DPI to gather the critical information to lodge an application asap for Category C assistance. “I cannot stress enough how important it is for businesses and primary producers to provide details of the financial implications this disaster has had on them. Where the NDRRA is activated, the Australian Government will fund up to 75 per cent of the assistance available to individuals and communities. This contribution is delivered through a number of NDRRA measures and may include: • Personal hardship and distress assistance • Counter disaster operations • Concessional loans or interest subsidies for small businesses and primary producers • Transport freight subsidies for primary producers • Loans and grants to churches, voluntary non-profit organisations and sporting clubs • The restoration or replacement of essential public assets • Community recovery funds In addition, clean-up and recovery grants may be made available to assist businesses, including farm businesses, to resume trading as soon as possible. The grants may be used for clean-up activities, replacement of damaged equipment and stock, and other general repairs.

Council calls for legal advice on Urliup Road

Solar Bonus Ends This Year! Are You Ready Yet?

Are you one of the smart people in the Northern Rivers who are benefiting from the 60 cent per kWh export paid to them under the NSW Solar Bonus Scheme? Payments under this plan expired at the end of 2016, leaving solar owners with 4 - 6 cents for each kWh exported after then. 20,000 homes in the Northern Rivers will have to install new meters just to be able to use the power they now export entirely to the grid. 888 Solar Tek, your local hybrid and off-grid solar experts, have developed a smart migration plan, which will eliminate 80% or more of your ongoing power charges. They can install additional solar panels and battery storage now, to cover all of your daily energy use, slashing power charges.

Every cent of the Solar Bonus generated by your existing system is collected right up until the end of the scheme, when both system are combined. Your new hybrid solar system allows greater independence and typically pays for itself in 3-5 years. 888 Solar Tek tailor the new solar system around your existing equipment and provide 12 months free monitoring and support. If you have very low electricity usage you may choose to go off the grid altogether to eliminate fixed supply charges that make up most of your bill. 888 Solar Tek have new technologies that can operate both on and off the grid. This makes staged transition to energy self-sufficiency cost effective and avoids costly equipment change-over.

Take Back Your Power!

24 Hr Solar Power - Batteries Included!

Why pay for electricity when it is cheaper to make your own? Selling your solar power for 4 - 6 cents per kWh sucks! Beat the network by generating and storing your own power. Our revolutionary new solar & battery systems put you in charge of your home energy production. We supply customised new or retrofit systems to match your power Call Vincent Selleck use - not a one size fits all package.

raising further eyebrows from locals. “We’ve had developers allegedly move in like this before,” he said. “Often the intension is to make the alterations and then once it’s too late battle it out with council.” Whatever the situation is at the property, Councillors have moved a motion to undertake legal investigations into the matter to then determine the best course forward. “Council acknowledges the community concerns and engages its solicitors to provide advice regarding the continuing investigation of the unauthorised road works, vegetation clearing, structures and waterway pollution as well as the options for orders for land, waterway and vegetation restoration and management and unauthorised structures and/or criminal prosecution at Lot 1 DP 783892, No.1110 Urliup Road, Urliup. “Following these investigations a report be submitted back to Council seeking the determination of a preferred action based on the prospects of a successful prosecution or other action under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997.”

FOLLOWING ALL the chaos from the Tweed Floods, Tweed Shire Councillors hosted its Planning Meeting on April 6 with discussions taking place around several confidential items. The first was land accusations for the Clarrie Hall Dam wall raising at 426 Commissioners Creek Road, however the motion was deemed confidential. “The report discusses commercial negotiations and private financial arrangements, which should not be disclosed to the public in order to protect the privacy of the affected individuals,” the motion states. The second motion of interest is a developing story at 1110 Urliup Road where it is alleged that unauthorised clearing is taking place. A Uki resident, who did not want to be named, recently contacted The Weekly to stress the need for Tweed Shire Council and the broader community to investigate the property which he said is proposing a highend luxury retreat and wedding venue. Although still unconfirmed, the anonymous resident said he believes a large Las Vegas Casino chain has a stake in the site, where several residents have reported seeing giant fiberglass animal sculptures being erected and one resident said the retreat includes an artificial waterfall. Little is known about the property and while the matter is being investigated, most residents said they wanted more information before making any assumptions. “We can’t say any specifics at this stage,” the Uki resident said. “But we believe the resort, which has undergone extensive clearing, is intended to be a luxury retreat for high profile gambling clients to get married or getaway but it’s still unclear.” The resident claims the resort has cleared a road around the property at a rapid pace and without seeking Council approval,

TWEED SHIRE Council’s clean-up crews continued a mammoth effort this week, with more than 4500 tonne of flood material and another 1000 tonne anticipated before the end. The Mayoral Flood Appeal is also ticking over nicely and as of Wednesday, April 12, the bank account had exceeded more than $80,000 (see page 45 for account details). The Weekly spoke with Tweed Shire Council’s media team to ask several key questions this week including how the recovery effort is progressing, Council’s financial impact and voluntary house resumptions. Council said it anticipates the majority of the flood clean-up to be completed before Easter, “with spot clean-ups the following week as they are required”. “There is still a significant amount of flood material that is reappearing after our crews have gone through, fortunately, we also have the kerbside household clean-up pickups due to start on Monday, April 24,” Council said. 1. How will Tweed Shire Council fair financially following the floods? “The Government has declared the area a natural disaster so we are eligible for funding parts of the recovery through the National Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA). We are still liaising with the Government as to which Category will be applied and specifics. Council’s Plant and fleet were insured as were its buildings. Whilst a significant portion of funding is recoverable under the NDRRA Grants, nonetheless there will be a financial impact on Council’s Operations as not all activities that we are undertaking as part of the response and recovery are funded. At this early stage, the quantum of this impact is unknown.” 2. Could the floods result in voluntary house purchases? If so, in what areas? “One of Council’s flood resilience

measures is partnering with the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) in a Voluntary House Purchase Scheme in South Murwillumbah, under the NSW Floodplain management Program. Voluntary House Purchase is recognised as a recognised and effective floodplain risk management measure for existing properties in areas where there are highly hazardous flood conditions or riverine or overland flooding and the principal objective is to remove people living in these properties and reduce the risk to life of residents and potential rescuers. The current South Murwillumbah Scheme is based on a 1989 Murwillumbah Floodplain Management Plan, with only 4 properties in the identified area remaining.” 3. What is Council’s long term goal following the floods? “Our primary goal will be to make our community more resilient to these sorts of events. The impacts socially, economically and environmentally are substantial and as Council and community we need to have a conversation about measures that will lessen these impacts and go about putting in place longer term strategies that can be funded and applied to reduce the impact of such events on future generations. These could include measures to review and expand the Voluntary Purchase Scheme for example and review of Town Planning Measures to ensure that we are not adding to the risk of people and businesses being placed in high risk flood areas.”

Tweed Free Legal Centres could be spared Links to support needed

NSW ATTORNEY General Mark Speakman this week announced more than $6 million for the next two years in additional funding for community legal centres in NSW, a move that could save Tweed’s three legal centres. In a media release, Mr Speakman said the move would “fill the void created by a pending reduction in funding by the Federal Government of 23 per cent in NSW due to commence on 1 July”. “This is important exciting news for the Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre and the CLC sector as a whole,” he said. Tracey Willow, the new Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre (NRCLC) Manager said: “Given all that the Northern Rivers has endured over the last week, this is a really good news story.” “This funding will mean workers can get on with the business of providing legal advice, casework and legal education to individuals and communities who are most vulnerable and at-risk in the Northern Rivers.” “It means that our communities can be assured that NRCLC will continue to walk side by side with them, over the weeks and months ahead.” “We can do much more, but need to be funded at the level that allows us to meet the unmet legal need in the Northern Rivers.” Daniele Turner, NRCLC Legal Services Coordinator and Solicitor said, “This is a huge win for our community and is all the more welcome given the challenges ahead as we rebuild from the floods. We expect there will be many requests for assistance after this disaster and the announcement today by the Attorney General allows us to get back to our core business of helping those most in need. “ Joy Peters, Tweed Valley Office Community Development and Legal Education said, “Thank you to the NSW Government for recognising the vital need for CLC Tweed services to continue. We are often forgotten in the Tweed due to our location at the northern end of the State however our growing population and levels of disadvantage find us constantly underfunded and under resourced. “We feel a sense of relief that our vulnerable families and those who otherwise could not afford access to legal advice can now be supported. “At the Tweed office, we work closely with the community and other agencies focused on early intervention so that issues are addressed early. Without this injection of State funds the economic impact on the community would be far

higher. Kimbah Pengelly, Tweed Valley Office Solicitor said: “I am overjoyed that the service will continue. I know that as a result of the natural disaster, there will be people needing legal advice. I am so happy to be there to assist.” Community Legal Centres NSW Chair Dr Linda Tucker said: “The NSW government has effectively increased its contribution to our sector by 50 per cent, the largest annual increase from the state government for two decades. “We thank the NSW Attorney General for recognising the essential work done by community legal centres and stepping in to fill this gap. “In 2014 the Productivity Commission recommended an immediate injection of $200 million into the legal assistance sector nationwide, simply to meet existing demand for services. Instead, the Commonwealth Government has refused to extend funding to the sector, amounting to a 30 per cent cut nationwide. “This funding announcement will be welcomed across the NSW legal community. Now we need the federal government to chip in their fair share, so CLCs can meet existing demand and ensure that everyone has access to justice.” Other community legal centres in NSW equally particularly impacted by this announcement are: Women’s Legal Service NSW, Kingsford Legal Centre, Redfern Legal Centre, Immigration Advice & Rights Centre (IARC), Western Sydney CLC, Environmental Defender’s Office NSW (EDO NSW), Public Interest Advocacy.

By Carmen Stewart (Thrive 2484)

TWEED HAS seen the most powerful display of community response and generosity during one of the toughest natural disasters in the history of the shire. Locals and visitors have banded together to cook meals, shovel mud, mop floors, deliver white goods, provide shelter and even fill out forms for strangers. The scale of the loss and generosity in our community is something we haven’t seen in recent history. But as the mud is disappearing and the rubbish is being carted away, the intensity of the clean up stage seems to be passing. However, what’s next for the many families and individuals who have lost so much? The next stage of finding the funds to purchase new cars and furniture, dealing with insurance companies, ripping up floorboards and tackling mold issues begins. Moving beyond the flood is a marathon, not a sprint. So, how can the rest of us sustain some of our recent displays of generosity to support these families in the next stage? It Takes a Town is proposing to do it by linking flood affected families to other families and residents who have either the time, skills or resources they might need in coming months. We’d like to invite anyone who would like to support a flood affected family in small and sustainable ways, to a discussion to hear how we can connect you and support you to do so. We all have something to offer and something to gain as we work our way through this next stage together. Discussions are being held next Thursday, April 20, at 10am to 11.30am and again from 5.30pm to 7.00pm. The discussions are being held at The Citadel on Queen Street, Murwillumbah. It Takes a Town is an initiative of The Family Centre and Thrive2484 to create opportunities for all children living in the 2484 to thrive. You can link with It Takes a Town on Facebook or Instagram, or give Carmen a call on 0438 140 589.

LOCAL TRADESPEOPLE continue to be the foundation of Tweed’s recovery in week two of the clean-up as individual and group efforts combine across the shire in a massive push towards restoring Tweed life to normal. The Weekly is featuring several committed local tradespeople this week from electricians to carpet cleaners, handymen, fencing and carpentry. It’s our local tradies who are known and trusted to get the job done especially after one of the biggest natural disasters in Tweed’s history and to say they’re “under the pump” would be the understatement of 2017. We caught up with several tradies on Monday, April 10, to hear about some of their flood recovery stories and how quick they’re helping residents and businesses get back on their feet. Hyrdo Carpet Cleaning owner Nathan Benard has been putting away 17-hour-days since the floods receded almost two weeks ago and he’s still going. “We’ve been starting early and the jobs keep us going late,” he said. Nathan has helped repair several major businesses in Murwillumbah including a bank where water threatened to destroy their carpet and helloworld at Sunnyside Shopping Centre. “There were a few properties where we saved the carpet,” he said. “It’s starting to come back to normal, few more weeks and we should be under control.” The boys over at Neil Mack Fencing are still assessing the damage after clearing more than four-tonnes of mud from their Tweed Valley Way rental property. They said they used bobcats to remove the mud from in and around the house and fortunately water did not enter their house. The fellas had the job done in three hard days, but they remain worried about the impeding harvest for cane growers. “There’s so much wood and debris in the cane fields, it’s going to make for a tough harvest,” Dylan Mack said. Alex Mack was away on work when the floods hit and he fortunately missed out on most of the clean-up. “I was feeling for the family at home, it was a very stressful time for everyone,” he said. Sam at Canon Excavation has also been super busy helping friends and family clean out houses as well as doing emergency drainage/clean-up and driveway repairs on rural properties. So, if you’ve got a job you need fixing speak to a local tradesperson and think local first, by doing so you’re supporting local families and in turn supporting a strong Tweed Shire.

BUILDERS AND tradespeople across the Tweed are encouraged to share in rebuilding work through insurance companies by registering with the Master Builders Association of NSW. The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) says qualified builders and tradespeople who want to be considered for the reconstruction effort should put themselves forward for insurerfunded work. In NSW interested builders and tradespeople should register with the Master Builders Association of NSW at www.mbansw.asn.au. These organisations will pass lists of builders and tradespeople on to insurance companies through the ICA. ICA CEO Rob Whelan said insurers recognise local workers who participate in the reconstruction response. “They provide a vital economic boost in communities that have taken a severe financial hit from this catastrophe,” he said. “In the aftermath of disasters, insurers’ first priority is to their policyholders, and making sure repairs and rebuilding work are done to the highest standard in the shortest possible time. “For this reason, many insurers have strategic arrangements with building companies, suppliers and project managers to undertake repairs and building works. These companies often sub-contract work to local builders and tradespeople if they are qualified, reputable, price competitive and have capacity. Some insurers also have a policy to use local firms where possible.” Mr Whelan said home and business owners who needed repairs should contact their insurer before commissioning any work, even for emergency repairs. Unauthorised work may not be covered by the policy. More information can be found in the Understand Insurance flood clean-up fact sheet: http://understandinsurance.com.au/assets/Checklists/Flood%20recovery.pdf As at 9am on Monday, April 10, insurers had received 35,370 claims from Queensland and NSW policyholders with insured losses of $410 million.

THE NSW Department of Primary Industries is calling on Tweed farmers and residents to have their say in developing a strategy to reduce the impacts of wild dogs. The plan is known as the NSW Wild Dog Management Strategy which is designed to map from 2017 to 2021 ways to reduce the impacts of wild dogs. NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) invasive species strategy manager, Quentin Hart, said wild dogs cause real problems with negative impacts on communities and the environment. “The national impact of wild dogs on livestock, including control costs, is estimated to vary between $50 million to hundreds of millions of dollars annually,” Mr Hart said. “They cause physical and emotional distress to farming and urban communities by attacking livestock and pets. “We aim to build on the 2012-2017 strategy, which was endorsed by the peak body overseeing pest animal policy and programs, the NSW Pest Animal Council, to deliver a framework which will continue to reduce wild dog impacts across the state.” Mr Hart said input from the public is essential in developing an effective strategy. “Coordination and cooperation between public and private land managers is the key to effective management of all pest animals and is a focus of the strategy,” he said. “The latest information and community response will guide specific action to help reduce negative impacts of wild dogs and will help define the roles and responsibilities of government agencies, public and private land managers and other community members in managing wild dogs,” he said.

A FILM PRODUCTION company from the Gold Coast called Sparke Films, is taking a keen interest in Murwillumbah as a possible film location and dozens of local extras are needed. Whether it’s your first role as an extra or you’re a budding young star keen to get your foot in the door, this could be your big break. The film’s title is Occupation which is described as a massive ground invasion told from the perspective of a group of small town folk, who band together for survival and the chance to strike back at the invaders. Sparke Films producer Carmel Imrie phoned The Weekly on Monday and said scouting for locations has already taken place across the Murwillumbah CBD, South Murwillumbah and Condong Mill. “We are really interested in using the Murwillumbah Showgrounds and they’ve already expressed an interest,” she said. “We’re also speaking to The Sugar Beat who are keen to be featured as another location, we’re just unsure about whether we could use Prospero Street for a shoot at this

Zac Hoade and Bobcat driver Jordan Stuart (inside bobcat) from APS inside the Tweed Valley Way Op Shop Shed

LIKE MANY households affected by the flood, Tweed Palliative Support are very grateful to those who have helped in the massive clean-up of their Tweed Valley Way storage shed and Op shop. Meanwhile, Edna Gorton, Manager of their Queen St Store has been busy helping flood-affected families with free or $1 clothes and other household items. “We want to help where we can. One man who only had the clothes he stood in cried as we gave him three sets of clothes and bedding at no charge. Those who can pay, but we are very happy to give to genuine people in hardship. To help our community, racks of clothes will remain at $1,” Edna said. The charity has been grateful for the continued donations to the Queen St store. “A lady from Pottsville put out the word for donations and she arrived with a 22 seater bus filled with clothes and other much-needed items,” Edna said. TPS Hospice Shop volunteer of five years, Julie Hoade, joined the charity after they had cared for her mother at home. Julie swiftly called her son Zac for help with the clean up of the Tweed Valley Way premises. Zac from APS in the industrial estate of Murwillumbah didn’t hesitate to bring his bobcat and driver, Jordan Stuart, to tackle the huge task of removing the numerous soiled and soggy contents of the shed.

Meredith Dennis, President of the charity said the help has been a relief. “We really appreciated the help from APS, we couldn’t have emptied the shed without their equipment and two solid days of hard work. Infinite Homes from Pottsville pitched in as well. Once we had all the debris out, the Tweed Shire Council was marvellous in helping in its removal. I was so relieved to see Leonie Turner arrive in her truck,” she said. The Tweed Valley Way Op Shop will be closed for a month and people are asked to continue to drop donated clothes, bedding, household items and furniture at the TPS Hospice Op Shop in Queen St, Murwillumbah. Or, Edna can be contacted (0417 060 085) to arrange for the pick-up of bulky items. As NSW Health does not fund the charity, revenue from the Op shops is essential for the upkeep and long-term operation of the 24/7 Wedgetail Retreat community hospice and home hospice services. Despite recently committing $2 million to a Sydney-based hospice for young-adults, the NSW Premier and NSW Health Minister have ignored pleas to fund the regional hospice. Financial donations are now desperately needed for the hospice. All donations go to help people in our region with a life-limiting illness and their families.

Living Life To The Full The People You Meet...

Arthouse and wonders to be found in Kingscliff

with Fran Rabbitts ADELAIDE IS a city where culture flourishes and it’s where Stephen and Deborah Buge owners of Cinemax Cinemas lived previously. Like many others, they decided on Kingscliff, the sunny north, for their tree change. The more casual location with its laidback surf beaches and with proximity to all services appealed to them. It was so different from the formal atmosphere of Adelaide where they’d been involved in cinema but missed it, and now in Kingscliff they realised that this area had potential. But why Kingscliff for their film venture? Stephen said he realised there was potential in the area for discerning film goers. “Because of the area’s high proportion of actively social retirees from the capital cities, and its proximity to larger city populations,” he said. “Australia is known for its multi-culturalism and Adelaide is well known for its theatres and arts, so with a lot of exposure to foreign films, we soon realised that there was an interest and an audience here for them.” They know their target audience, and the more sophisticated and thought provoking

the films, the more stimulating the conversations. So, the Reel Talk Movie Club was born. A special screening for members each month, with a discussion afterwards, a book club for movie lovers. The cinemas are small and intimate, have great acoustics and appeal to those starved for culture and escapism which often feature foreign films. “We also specialise in special event screenings which celebrate countries and their films, such as Spanish, French or Italian nights with films, food and wines to match, or special Mothers’ Day screenings with High Teas for Two, a film and a glass of bubbly,” Stephen said. “We also celebrate Melbourne Cup each year where guests enjoy a High Tea, the film and a flutter afterwards while watching the race.” Cinemax, with its proximity to increasing upmarket resort complexes, was ready for the type of films that leave an impression and stimulate discussions -over a cup of tea or coffee, of course, all part of the Cinemax film experience. Steve said the club started off with one cinema seating 50. “It’s been so successful, that we opened another, seating 20 more, so now we’re a twin cinema complex,” he said. “We support as many Australian films as possible, as well as pure arthouse films from Europe, and other Indie and International films, and our Special Event screenings from The New York Metropolitan Opera and

the UK National Theatre screen monthly through-out the year.” If you want the movie experience with a touch of class, culture and escapism, then Cinemax is the place for you. And make your outing an occasion watch a movie while sipping a champagne, wine or beer, or opt for a Devonshire Tea or Coffee or a light snack delivered to your table. It’s hard to think of this as a business when

you are remembered and warmly greeted whether you are there for the movie or not. They have a strong sense of community and have generously supported various charities by making their cinema available. Weekly emails are sent to their 4,000 members every Wednesday evening to inform them of upcoming events which include Mothers’ Day on May 14 and Bastille Day on July 14, see you at the movies.

New Laws commenced on the 1st November 2015 The Law applying to homeowners in Caravan Parks, Residential Parks and Manufactured Home Estates has changed effective from the 1/11/2015. The Residential (Land Lease) Communities Act 2013 has replaced the Residential Parks Act 1998. One of the signiﬁcant changes that the Residential Land Lease Communities Act 2013 has introduced concerns the “Sale of homes” and “For Sale” signage. “For Sale” signage? A home owner in a Residential Park / Lifestyle Village is entitled to display a “For Sale” sign in or on the home. The Residential Land Lease Communities Act 2013 provides for community rules to be put in place about the use, enjoyment, control and management of the community. However, a community rule is of no effect if it is inconsistent with the Act or any other Act or law. Further, the operator of a community must not cause or permit any interference with, or any attempt to interfere with: a) A home owner’s right to display a “For Sale” sign in or on the home. b) Unreasonably restricting prospective home owners from inspecting the home or any common area of the community.

Kingscliff Business Chamber slams No High Rise campaigner Cr Ron Cooper

Airbnb’s Friendly Buildings Program has strata managers concerned

THE KINGSCLIFF Chamber of Commerce has slammed Councillor Ron Cooper and his push to reduce building height limits at Kingscliff, stating the move would deny better planning for the coastal community and result in more land clearing. But Cr Cooper says he remains confident that there is “enough land in the Tweed zoned for residential and business use to take us to 2030”. In a media statement to The Weekly, the Kingscliff Chamber said a high rise, is any building over 25 metres. “In the suggested draft, Kingscliff Locality Plan presented to Councillors on March 16, Cr Cooper with a stroke of his pen slashed heights from 16.6-metres to 13.6-metres and others down to as low as nine-metres for different areas of Kingscliff,” the statement reads. “To focus only on building heights, denies the ability for better planning of buildings in this community. “To restrict the heights of buildings to a 13.6 metres maximum (three storeys), will lead to greater use of the land space and will lead to the need for more land to house future generations and ultimately less farmland and green spaces. “There are already buildings in Pearl Street that exceed 16 metres and others of four storeys, some for several decades and have not raised concern. “Councillors should be making decisions based on the merits of the matter, not how many people sign a petition, which is flawed as it refers to a Kingscliff Locality Plan that has already been exhibited, when no such plan has been on exhibition. “The Draft Kingscliff Locality Plan has not been exhibited and the community is yet to have an opportunity to hear about the draft plan or make comment about this draft Kingscliff Locality Plan.” The Kingscliff Chamber said Cr Cooper was elected on two ideas, No High Rise and Better Community Consultation. “None of the proposed heights by the steering committee or the proposed draft Kingscliff Locality Plan were High Rise and for Cr Cooper to change these heights without community involvement goes against everything he stated should occur in community consultation,” the statement reads. “There are benefits to increased heights in some areas of Kingscliff, the community of Kingscliff deserve to know the facts of both sides of this debate and no one is talking about High Rise buildings exceeding 25 metres.” Cr Cooper was given the opportunity

A CONTROVERSIAL new program being proposed by Airbnb to increase transparency has NSW strata managers concerned. The Airbnb Friendly Buildings Program allows owners corporations to access details of the Airbnb lets in their buildings, place caps on the number of nights they can be let and take a percentage of the earnings. The program is currently a pilot in the US and is only available in select buildings. Airbnb executives have recently visited Australia to present their Friendly Buildings Program to a number of strata management companies. The program requires Airbnb hosts and their owners’ corporation to sign an agreement that includes a “rule book” for home sharing in the building, as well as insurance of $1 million for every booking, which has been welcomed by some experts. According to Airbnb’s website the program allows for increased transparency that includes when residents are hosting, how many guests are staying with them, and how much money is being earned. But one of Australia’s largest strata management companies say they’re concerned there’s not enough on offer for owners, with serious doubt over how well Airbnb will keep up their end of the bargain to protect communities. Andrew Jakes is State Manager for Ace Body Corporate Management’s New South Wales operations, and with thousands of lots under management in the City of Sydney’s boundaries, he has observed the full effect that short term lets have had on local property owners. “There are too many remaining risks for owners corporations on a security and liability level for this program to be considered a win for strata community living.” “Airbnb and other short term letting services pose serious challenges to owners corporations, and we’re adamant that very few owners will see some basic rules and a percentage deal as a program that adequately looks after their community’s best interests.” Mr Jakes says the biggest concern put forward by owners of properties Ace manages, is the threat short term letting poses to building security. “Several of our managers recounted stories of recent theft, occurring from owners leaving swipe cards and keys in letterboxes for their Airbnb guests.” “Over the past year or so, instances of oversized padlocks, or ‘mini safes’ being placed on bike racks or hand rails outside of buildings have grown and we don’t see that this program offers any solution with regard

to respond to the Kingscliff Business Chamber’s concerns and said the “No High Rise” slogan was from the original 1983 fight to create Kingscliff’s three storey limit. “Trying to read more into it than that is pretty desperate,” Cr Cooper said. “Councillors were given the opportunity to review the draft Kingscliff Locality Plan prior to final exhibition. “I would point out it was a Council decision to include the three-storey limit for Kingscliff in this draft for public exhibition. “The planners in their advice to Council expressed concern about costs, delays, uncertainty of outcomes and developer pressure if Council chose to engage in a new round of consultation. “The majority Councillors chose the most expedient and cost-effective option by including the three-storey limit in this final draft. “Developers can still be creative with three storeys. Planners will still design interesting precincts. Cycle paths and walkways will still be built. Shadowing will still be controlled when development approval is sought – much easier to manage under the threestorey limit.” Cr Cooper emphasised that he believes adding two or three storeys to 10 per cent of Kingscliff will have a “negligible effect on the Tweed’s ability to house people”. “There is enough land in the Tweed zoned for residential and business use to take us to 2030,” he said. “Horse-trading building heights for open space – where can that end up? It hasn’t worked at the Gold Coast. It’s a recipe for driving up building heights in the Tweed. Kingscliff will remain a highly desirable place to live and to visit. It will retain its character. It will thrive. The sky will not fall.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you share the concerns of the Kingscliff Business Chamber? Or do you believe in Cr Cooper’s approach? We would love to hear from you. Please send your letters or thoughts to editor@theweekly. net.au

to this problem.” “Once inside the building, thieves can target multiple apartments quickly transforming this into a huge issue for owners corporations to deal with.” Mr Jakes says the promise of a rule book and Airbnb’s willingness to regulate hosts better sounds great on paper, but owners will rightfully have concerns that help won’t be right around the corner, when stays go south. “From an owners perspective, Airbnb needs to have a solid ‘reporting channel’ from owners to service administrators in case of any mishaps, and we’re not confident that’s the case.” “We have seen too many instances of Airbnb’s taking a ‘not our problem’ stance when it comes to issues that arise from their home-sharing platform.” “Overcrowded apartments is one such issue that comes to mind given that Airbnb is reluctant to punish hosts for their guests behaving unlawfully.” “If owners corporations are going to open up their communities to an Airbnb ‘free for all’ of sorts, they need a better deal when it comes to protecting their own.” Meanwhile the Government response to an18-month parliamentary inquiry into short term letting is expected to be handed down next Wednesday, April 19. The inquiry was held in Tweed Heads and Sydney with Member for Tweed Geoff Provest MP the Deputy Chair of the Committee which recommended that shortterm letting be allowed with regulations for hosts that rent their property for long periods. Short-term rentals are currently prohibited in the Tweed Shire in all rural areas and the majority of residential areas. Tweed Shire Council has estimated there are upwards of 2,000 short-term holiday lettings in the Tweed.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Second week clean up support continues Tax returns fast tracked AS THE clean-up enters its second week the gestures of kindness and compassion being spread across the shire continue to show the resilience of Tweed residents to bounce back. Among those gestures was that from Bray Park Store owner Janda Manmohan, who donated $3,500 of Coles ($250) or Target ($250) vouchers to South Murwillumbah residents. The Weekly joined Janda and SES volunteer Nicole Taylor on Friday, April 7, to hand the vouchers out to Railway Street residents, who are still recovering from the Tweed’s worst flood with some residents having lost their entire house and contents due to water damage. Among the first to receive a voucher was Leesa Hallahan

who had been through hell after the water continued to rise into her family home. “It’s a mess still out the back,” she said. Mrs Hallahan showed Janda and The Weekly the back of several Railway Street properties where the carnage is still very present. “It’s going to take a long time for the street to bounce back from this,” she said. “But I’d like to thank the support from within the community, including Janda at Bray Park Store for this voucher which will go a long way towards new clothes etc.” Janda said he was deeply saddened by the loss of property and belongings across the shire.

TWEED RESIDENTS can now apply their tax refunds early following the Tweed Floods and extreme weather event on Thursday, March 30. Taxpayers and their Tax and BAS agents will also have an additional month to lodge income tax returns and activity statements. The deferrals are automatic for one month and are now in place for tax lodgment and payment dates (excluding large pay as you go withholders) for people in identified postcodes. This means that those with income tax returns that were due March 31 now have until April 30 to lodge. Similarly, for monthly activity statements due April 21, the new lodgment and payment date is May 21, and for quarterly activity statements due April 28, the new lodgment and payment date is May 28. Employers are reminded that they still need to meet their ongoing super guarantee obligations for their employees. Tax Commissioner Chris Jordan said taxpayers do not need to apply for a deferral or a faster refund. “If your business or residential address is in one of the identified affected postcodes it will happen automatically,” he said. “You can visit our website to see the new lodgment dates and check if your region is included. Further postcodes may be added as needed, so check our website for more information. “People outside of the identified postcodes that have been impacted by the disaster are still able to contact us for assistance on 1800 806 218. “If you are experiencing any difficulties meeting your tax obligations, please contact us so we can assist. “We understand that for many people their tax affairs are the last thing on their minds right now. When people are ready, we will make sure they are supported in meeting their tax obligations.” For those with a tax debt the ATO is suspending debt recovery action until the end of May 2017. We are also offering a range of support measures, including: • Tailored repayment arrangements • Remission of interest where appropriate • Interest-free repayment arrangements for eligible small businesses Additionally, we may be able to release taxpayers from some or all of their debt if paying their tax debt would cause serious hardship – for example, being unable to provide food and accommodation for themselves or their family.

LOCAL NOT-FOR-PROFIT organisation Let’s Waste Less is launching the documentary ‘A Plastic Ocean’ at the Regent Theatre on Saturday, April 29. The documentary was filmed across 20 locations worldwide and highlights the consequences of our global disposable lifestyle including; the effects on ecosystems, wildlife, food chain and health, and presents realistic solutions to plastic pollution. Let’s Waste Less co-founders Andia Cally and Jeremy Melder said they felt compelled to take action locally after watching the film that Sir David Attenborough calls “The most important film of our time”. “With eight million tonnes of plastic entering our oceans annually, affecting our food chain, killing off ecosystems, marine mammals, fish and seabirds, as well as clogging up our landfill, Let’s Waste Less believes we can’t ‘waste’ time waiting for the NSW government to act,” Ms Cally said. “We want Murwillumbah to join Uki, Chillingham, Tumbulgum and other Australian states by getting on the plastic bag ‘ban’ wagon’” At the launch Let’s Waste Less will ask locals to make a plastic free pledge to ‘break bag habits’ and go plastic bag free to coincide with Plastic Free July. The organisation has started a local Boomerang Bags chapter with the aim of generating 500 locally-made bags by the start of July which are made of recycled materials and are a sustainable alternative to plastic bags. “Plastic bags have devastating long-term effects on human health, the natural environment and the economy,” Ms Cally said. “We already have the support of some dedicated individual sewers and the Sathya Sai School, and we are looking for sewers to join upcoming sewing bees next month.” The evening begins with drinks, nibbles and live music from 6pm, the screening begins at 6.45pm, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A from 8:30pm-9:30pm, featuring; Tarra Martel, Environmental Education Officer, Tweed Shire Council; Jeanie McKillop, Coordinator North East Waste and Jordyn de Boer co-founder Boomerang Bags. Admission price includes screening, finger food, displays, guest speakers and prize giveaways. Date: Saturday, April 29 from 6:00pm Where: Regent Cinema, 5 Brisbane Street, Murwillumbah Cost: $20.

THE TWEED Regional Gallery is encouraging photographers to submit their entries to the prestigious Olive Cotton Award for the chance to win $20,000. The Olive Cotton Award, launched in 2005 is held every two years at the Tweed Regional Gallery and is dedicated to the memory of Olive Cotton, one of Australia’s leading twentieth century photographers. The competition aims to exhibit new portraits by professional and emerging artists from across Australia and is a significant opportunity for both emerging and established photographers. Gallery Director Susi Muddiman said the major award of $20,000 is generously funded by the family of the late Olive Cotton. “The Friends of Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre Inc. also sponsor Directors’ Choice awards to the value of $4,000,” Ms Muddiman said. “These prizes are acquisitive, making the Olive Cotton Award an important collecting stream for Tweed Regional Gallery’s collection of Australian portraits “The Gallery also runs a People’s Choice Award for the duration of the exhibition, where the exhibitor with the most votes receives $250.” The 2017 award judge is Dr Shaune Lakin, the Senior Curator of Photography at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. Dr Lakin was previously Gallery Director at Monash Gallery of Art, Australia’s only public gallery dedicated to collecting Australian photography.

FILMS th Mia wi

LOVING Despite a sweet title like Loving, this film is not a romantic comedy. Actually its title is somewhat ambiguous as it refers to both the family name of the protagonists – Richard and Mildred Loving – and to the fact that two people loved each other but were forbidden to love. The film is based on the real story of a white farmer and a colored woman who grew up in Virginia in the 1950s, where whites and blacks mixed relatively freely but were not allowed to marry. Deeply in love, they challenged the law, were subsequently arrested, had to move interstate and spent the next nine years fighting - with the aid of committed civil rights lawyers - a legal battle for the right to live as a family in their hometown. Their civil rights case, Loving v.Virginia, went all the way to the Supreme Court which with an historically significant decision in 1967 confirmed their right to marry. The couple has been an inspiration for mixed couples ever since. Starring two non-American actors - Australian Joel Edgerton and Ethiopian-born, Irish-raised Ruth Negga - the film has won numerous international awards and an Oscar nomination for Negga’s performance. Some critics have applauded and others criticized the understated approach to a very sensitive and dramatic subject matter, but they all agree that Loving reminds us of the basic human rights we take for granted and how recent it was that they were not an option.

A FREE Murwillumbah and Community Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Saturday, April 15, at the Murwillumbah Hockey Grounds.

Concert to raise funds for flood appeal

THE CHILLINGHAM Voices will perform a fundraising concert ‘Night and Day’ on Sunday, April 30, to raise much needed funds for the Mayoral Flood Appeal. The concert will feature a diverse range of music including new and familiar songs in the theme of ‘Night and Day’. In addition to those songs by the full choir, there will also be items by the Hot Chilli Chicks (women’s group) and the Cool Chilli Dudes (men’s group).

Chillingham Voices sang with choirs in Queenstown and Dunedin as well as a number of smaller towns.

In Christchurch they sang in the temporary Cardboard Cathedral and a new music venue called The Piano. Choirmaster Harlie Axford said the concert will provide a fascinating array of music. “We hope to provide a fascinating collection of music for all tastes, from madrigal to contemporary, with diverse styles from a range of ensembles and instrumental accompaniment,” he said. Admission: $12 adults, $10 concession, children under 12 free. Admission includes sherry and cake. Location: All Saints Anglican Church in Byangum Road, Murwillumbah Date: Sunday, April 30 at 2.30pm Proceeds of the concert will go to the Tweed Shire Council Mayoral Appeal Fund.

Dragons on top

ANOTHER GREAT weekend of footy last week. No one could possibly have thought (except Buster Kirby) that the Dragons would be top of the ladder after round 6, yet they comfortably beat an in form Manly last week. Widdop is probably the form player of the competition at the moment. The injury to JT has sparked QLD origin concerns. He is irreplaceable but I would be very surprised if he isn’t there round 1. Yet, if he doesn’t make it there is DCE, Milford, Morgan and Hunt to fill the void. His absence will definitely hurt the Cows. The Broncos were quite impressive in dismantling the high flying Roosters on Friday night who look to have run out of puff early. I’m a huge fan of Gillett and he is

in sublime form at the moment, his tackle technique is impeccable and his aggression and involvement is first class. Full kudos to Anthony Griffin and the Panthers for standing down three stars for breaching team protocol last week. It definitely hurt them and hopefully the players will be better for the error of their ways. The Knights continue to go close without being able to land the killer blow, however, they are going better than the Titans who are brave but lacking horsepower on the paddock with a substantial amount of their salary cap in the stands. It was a dour affair in Melbourne on Sunday and the premiers reigned supreme in the wet, but I wouldn’t expect Melbourne to be that poor again in the near future. Early on they are the team to beat. Some real good games this Easter weekend with a triple header kicking

things off on Good Friday – The Easter Bunny has come early. A big congratulations to local Murwillumbah Colts juniors Kade Hill and Tom Vickery on their selection in the Country Rugby League u/16’s team to tour New Zealand in July. They represented the East Coast Dolphins at the country championships and were beaten in extra time in the final – good luck to the lads when they head across the ditch. Colts copped a hiding in the floods and thanks to all of those who helped out getting it back to operational and close to up and running. The NRRRL has a break due to Easter after kicking off last week and the Mustangs will travel to Mullumbimby next Sunday to kick off their title defence. Happy Easter and See you at the Footy Quinny

BETTER WEIGH-INS this week – Whiting, Bream, Jewfish and Snapper – all from the river. Trevally, Jewfish and even Snapper are being caught around the mouth of the Tweed and on the beaches. The weirs have produced good results too with fish, mainly bass, being trapped while trying to get back upstream. Once boats started to get out, good reports of Snapper just outside the Nine Mile. Some Grouper along the Tweed Canyon for those that fish deep. Try an EFT electric reel to speed up your fishing! There is a good selection of fish around South Reef – Squire, Tusk Fish and Trag, with Wahoo, Mackerel and Yellowfin plentiful further out around the 32s

Common Misconceptions -As with any exercise after eating, swimming right after a big meal might be uncomfortable, but it won’t cause you to drown. However, it is good advice to stay out of the pool right after a big meal as the digestive process does divert the circulation of the blood towards the gut and to a certain extent, away from the muscles, meaning swimming could feel harder. -When the sun reaches the end of its life in about 4 billion years, it will not explode. It will slowly expand and eventually swallow Earth in the process. -It is a proven fact that bulls only see blues and yellow. They only react to the red cape because of the movements that flutter around. -There is no concrete evidence that says eating more chocolate can cause pimples.

Tweed Flood Recovery

Local News 45

THURSDAY MARCH 30, 2017

Road updates and closures Volunteers continue massive collection effort

Volunteer team Josh, Robert, Mick, Donna, Karina, Colleen, Jack and Zdenka

VOLUNTEERS TAKING donations at the Hutchinson’s building (Wollumbin Street) in Murwillumbah, said the response from the community has been “amazing” with more arriving every day. The centre continues to take thousands of items donated to help struggling families back on their feet. Volunteer coordinator Donna told The Weekly the facility was still keen to receive donations, but she said clothing has now reached capacity. “We really need white goods, furniture, beds and other electrical items,” she said. Donna said the support and gestures of kindness have kept the volunteers motivated.

“Some of the people are giving so much,” she said. “Our one problem is everyone thinks there’s someone worse off than they are.” Donna said several families had lost everything but are only asking for a mattress and a table. “We have a lot to offer families getting back on their feet and we believe families should be using what’s available to recover,” she said. Several volunteers, pictured above, have been going non-stop for seven days, lugging furniture, sorting through piles of clothing and helping where needed. Donna said the team are hopeful to use the space for at least another month, however this has not yet been confirmed.

How to find help during the Tweed Flood recovery AS TWEED passed the initial phase of early response and clean-up from the floods this week there are growing concerns that some people may be missing out on the support they need. Local community organiser Diane Bauer said the community needs to continue to reach out. “To make sure people are not slipping through the gaps, it would be great if we could all take responsibility and reach out,” Mrs Bauer. “The silver lining of this disaster has been the extraordinary amount of generosity from people volunteering to clean, make food and donating goods. “It’s important that everyone who needs it, benefits from this kindness and community care.” The message is for everyone to check on their friends, family and neighbours, it may be people whose homes and/ or businesses have been affected. In both cases people have a wide range of needs and they may not be in a great position to recognise that themselves. Shared local organiser Chelle Wallace said residents could even have to reach out for others. “If you do find someone who still needs support, you may have to make contact with services on their behalf,” she said. “Not everyone is able to reach out themselves and not everyone knows what is available. “We have had people drop into Huthinsons on behalf of their friends to pick up what they need, which is great.” Organisers say there is help available with finances; cleaning; clothes; child care; furniture and household items; food; cleaning products; transport and more. See a list of some flood recovery services below to access the support available now: • The Recovery Centre at Murwillumbah Community Centre, in Nullum Street give residents access to a range of government services and to get advice about financial support. • Hutchinson’s Donations Centre in Wollumbin St, Murwillumbah (10am – 6pm) for clothing, rags, cleaning products and household items.

Bowls Notes with Judy Tuckey Membership Drive On BOWLING MEMBERSHIPS around the State, and beyond, have been on a steady decline in recent years. However, a trip around the district recently has revealed that many clubs are going ‘all out’ to increase memberships as well as members facilities. Cabarita Beach B.C. has recently constructed a children’s playground and is currently undergoing club house refurbishment to benefit members. Pottsville B.C. is another club that

has also brightened up their facilities and services, much to the delight of all members, particularly the lawn bowlers. Free coaching several days a week by Jack Cahill, a former A.I.S. high performance coach, is definitely proving most beneficial to both new and experienced players. A bright new uniform for the ladies has injected a renewed surge in comraderie and fierce pride in their club. With the changing of the guard and revamped programming, President Coral and President Rob, working strongly together, again have the greens filled regularly. Continuous return ‘visit ins’, coupled with mixed bowls weekly as well as regular events, has definitely seen an increase in

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals bowlers numbers and has resulted in a significant resurgence of interest in this wonderful sport at this venue. District women’s silly season (Pennant) commenced 7 March and was scheduled to be completed 7 April, but due to many play days being washed out, final results will not be available until all games have been finalised. Hopefully the District men’s pennant season has less drama even though the first round, for all grades, set down for 1 April was totally washed out, compliments of cyclone Debbie. This round has now been rescheduled for Saturday 20 May. Round 2 went ahead on the weekend without any problems with the exception of Condong teams not being available due to overwhelming problems at their flood disaster ravished club. Arrangements are underway for their deferred games to be played at a later date. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone

THE LONGEST-RUNNING professional surfing contest in the world, the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, has taken place each year since 1962. This year’s 56th iteration will witness a competitive field of elite surfers battle to prove themselves and earn the right to ‘ring the bell’. John John Florence and Stephanie Gilmore will be wearing the yellow Jersey heading into the event, John John out on his own in first place, while Stephanie Gilmore shares the yellow jersey with Sally Fitzgibbons tied up with a win and third place each. Wednesday was the start of the waiting period, and from predictions in the forecast, organisers will be looking at running right through and possibly looking to wrap up Easter Monday. On the Men’s draw the question seems to be - Who can beat John John? Well from my point of view I would not be writing off the blokes with a real history of performing at Bells, Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, and Kelly Slater, have that beautiful style that really suits the Bells Bowl, but so has John John! The bigger it gets the more it favours the Hawaiian world champion, but Bells Beach always throws up surprises. Those surprises could include a goofy footer or two such as Matt Wilkinson and winner of the Quicksilver pro Owen Wright. John John now has former Pro Ross Williams in his corner, and you can see he has got the attitude and the game; “This event has been running for so long, which makes it really special,” Florence said. “So many of my heroes have come here and won this event, and I want my

name alongside theirs. It’s a really tough event because you are constantly having to adapt to changing conditions and that’s another thing that makes it so special because you have to be a well rounded surfer to take it out. I’m going to keep my game plan pretty similar to Margaret River, just big turns and surf to how the wave should be surfed.” On the Women’s side, both Stephanie Gilmore and Sally Fitzgibbons have had great success at Bells, but I can’t go past Steph’s style power and grace, plus aggression and style, which I believe makes her a much better surfer than Sally in waves of power - that is providing Steph decides to catch some…. I really think Tyler Wright and Carissa Moore will be the big threats to Stephanie Gilmore, and Tyler will be throwing the kitchen sick at the Bells Bowl. Carissa had that incident with Sally in the quarter finals at Margarets, and she will be looking to avenge the pasting Sally handed to the Hawaiian. One thing Bells is alway great viewing, and if you are not surfing this new southeast swell that has arrived or heading down to check out the rock n roll action at Bluesfest, a spot by the TV or computer screen could be just the goods at Easter. Tweed Coast Girls Rip Into Subway Series in Kiama Sophia Fulton, a member of the mighty Cabarita Boardriders, claimed her maiden Pro Junior victory taking the win over Snapper Rocks surfer Alyssa Lock. The victory has given Fulton a solid jump in the JQS rankings going into the final two events of the series in Queensland. “I’m so stoked to have won,” said Fulton. “The lineup

Local News 47

was definitely tricky, but I knew if I got the best waves of the heat then I could get the score. Alyssa and I have shared a few heats in the past and it definitely feels good to get one over her.” After a recent win at the Subway® Surf Series Pro Junior in WA and gaining entry into the Roxy Pro Championship Tour stop via the trials, Alyssa Lock was able to claim the top spot on the WSL JQS rankings thanks to claiming the runner-up position. Lock held down the lead for the majority of the final, until Fulton snatched the lead towards the end of the heat. “I would have loved to have won the event, but it still feels great to get second and move to the top of the rankings,” said Lock. “My goal is definitely to qualify for the World Juniors next year, so this result puts me in a good position for it.” Good work from the Tweed Coast ladies!! Have a great Easter break, and I’ll catch you in the waves.
