Power Independence with Solar Batteries

Over half of all Australian homes will have batteries for energy storage in the next ten years...

The new trend in solar power is to include battery storage and generate enough power for day and night use. With energy prices rising by 17% or more on the 1st of July, the intelligent option is to vote with your feet and begin to take control of your own power production with investment in the latest solar energy revolution.

Australia is way behind the world in the development of cheap, renewable energy with the coal and gas lobby blocking any new clean energy development. This is making Australian power costs among the highest in the world, leaving household to fend for themselves using solar power to offset rising electricity costs.

24 Hour Solar Power

With Feed in Tariffs now ridiculously low, there is no point left in sharing solar power with the grid.

At 6 cents per kWh it is not equitable to export power when you have to buy your energy back later at 30 cents. Solar Power Battery Storage is the best way to beat the unfair electricity network and create energy independence today. 888 Solar Tek, a local solar company based in the Northern Rivers, is providing revolutionary new technology that slashes the cost of battery storage, providing 24 hour solar power to homes.

With custom designs based on your energy use, they maximise the benefits of your investment and deliver a cost effective solution for your power needs. They offer a free energy assessment and are delivering hybrid and off-grid power systems that are much cheaper than buying from the grid.

888

The End of Support for Solar NSW Solar Bonus Ends This Year!

Government subsidies for solar export to the grid will end this year in NSW. If you are you one of the smart people in the Northern Rivers who are benefiting from the 60 cent per kWh export you will need to make plans for the coming changes.

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 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.

The Truth About the

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 a large part 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.

REAL Cost of Solar Batteries...

The Gel-acid batteries were much cheaper to buy, lasted longer and could be configured in many different sizes to better match each home's energy use. They do not explode if over charged like Lithium Ion, are compatible with all inverter and charger systems and have a welldeveloped re-cycling program. Gel-acid batteries have been tried and tested over decades and, with fifth generation desulphation technology, are the lowest cost and best value battery available.

Many new battery technologies have leapt into the solar arena and early adaptors have had mixed reports about the real value of their performance.

Not all that glitters is gold and some of the best PR campaigns have hidden the real cost of new solar batteries.

The real test for new battery technologies is measured by their ability to deliver a cost per stored kWh below grid price. Every battery has a life span in the number of cycles of charge and discharge they can achieve before they lose capacity, with 60% being the standard for end of life. The cost of batteries divided by the cycle life gives the best measure of their value.

888 Solar Tek is the leading supplier of Gel acid batteries and hybrid and off-grid solar systems in the Northern Rivers and one of the few solar companies that offer custom battery sizing based on your power use. They retro-fit batteries to existing systems and provide cost benefit analysis based on your current and projected power costs. With local, personalised service and an ethos to always look after their customers' needs first, 888 Solar Tek are the number one choice for solar battery systems in the Northern Rivers.

Other than the special feeling you get from being the first boy with the new toy, all of the Lithium Ion batteries on offer fail to satisfy, none of them delivering stored energy for less than the cost of buying it direct from the grid. Some like the BYD Mini, featured in recent TV ads on the North Coast, cost over twice as much as buying power from the grid!

Why pay for electricity when it is cheaper to make your own?

888 Solar Tek is the top-selling retailer for solar battery systems in the Northern Rivers. We supply customised new or retrofit systems to match your power use - not a one size fits all package. You get personalised service with free 12 month system monitoring.

The electricity grid is a huge monopoly that serves the large generators and retailers. Selling your solar power for 6¢ per kWh or less is unfair! Beat the network by generating and storing all of your own power now. Call us for free, honest advice before you buy anywhere else.

NSW Solar bonus scheme ends this year!

The Sanden EcoÂŽ Hot Water Heat Pump System use up to 78% less energy than conventional electric water heaters. Quicker and easier to install than solar, you get the savings right away. Sanden is the most efficient and eco-friendly hot water heat pump system on the market, offering up to 50% faster heat recovery than its competitors.

Call us for all your Solar Hot Water needs on 02 6688 4480.

Only Motoma Gel-acid batteries with an Australian invented de-sulphation device which increases their lifespan by years, deliver a storage cost well below the grid price.

You may not of noticed yet, but your power bill just went up by over 17% on the 1st of July. We all know we are getting ripped off by the electricity networks and that it will only get worse. As the rage grows, many people are seriously looking at getting batteries for their solar systems to be more independent from the bloodsucking grid now.

October 2017 and the “drinking water, recycled water and the pressure sewer infrastructure commencement date will be in April 2017 and completion of the first lots by August/ September 2017.”

Stage A of the wastewater treatment plant will not be completed until December 2018. As such, the application states that drinking water supply and recycled water supply to the first 500 lots will be provided by being directly connected to the Tweed Shire Council drinking water rising main.

Residents of the Cobaki Estate will be charged the same rates for water and sewerage as residents being supplied by Tweed Shire Council.

“The supply of drinking water, recycled water and pressure sewer services within the Cobaki Estate Boundary is a monopoly serviced area even though it is within the Tweed Shire Council area of operation,” the application reads.

“All customer classes will have access to these services and will be charged at the same rates for drinking water, recycled water and sewerage services as the local water and sewerage provider (TSC) for the Local Government area.”

Northern Water Solutions also said they would promote the use of recycled water throughout the Cobaki Estate which includes; toilet flushing, cold water for washing machines, garden and lawn watering, wash down of paths and driveways, bin washing, open space irrigation, sports fields, nurseries, golf courses other industrial and commercial uses.

A petition against the wastewater treatment plant has attracted 124 signatures with residents expressing concerns about the location.

The online petition, via gopetition.com, states “we, the undersigned don’t want a sewage plant on Lot 1 DP 874316 (the former golf driving range) on Piggabeen Rd for the development of Cobaki Lakes. We suggest to put the sewage plant amongst the development and not in between our lifestyle estates.”

THE DEVELOPER of Cobaki Lakes and Kings Forest has submitted an application to develop a private wastewater treatment facility at the site of a former golf driving range at Cobaki and to supply retail water, wastewater and sewerage which has some residents concerned about its location.

Leda Holdings, founded by Gold Coast developer Bob Ell, has project approval for both the Kings Forest and Cobaki Lakes developments which will together see 10,000 new homes constructed and with earthworks already commenced at the Cobaki site.

Northern Water Solutions (NWS), which is owned and operated by the developer Leda Holdings, has been engaged to establish a private water utility to service both the Cobaki and Kings Forest developments which will include construction of a wastewater treatment facility and the retail supply of water, recycled water and sewerage infrastructure.

An application to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) by NWS, to provide network operations and retail supply to the Cobaki Lakes development, is currently on exhibition with members of the public encouraged to make submissions before the closing date of May 24.

If approved the application will also be subject to Environmental Assessment provisions under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979.

There have been two separate applications made to the Department of Planning to allow for alternative water and sewerage services and infrastructure with the application for Cobaki currently being assessed. The Kings Forest application was submitted on March 9, 2017, and is currently on notification and is not undergoing public exhibition however submissions can be made.

Leda stated in their application to the Department of Planning that “the proposed modifications attempt to allow flexibility in choice.”

The site of the proposed wastewater treatment facility is 425 Piggabeen Road, which was formerly The Golf Range at Piggabeen and is located outside the Cobaki development site. The land sold for $1.23 million in October, 2017 according to realestate.com.au.

According to the IPART application, subdivision registration for the Cobaki site will occur in September/

Murwillumbah has recovered from disaster before

On Sunday 15th September 1907, Murwillumbah Municipality was burned to the ground.

In her writings about that calamitous event, Kath Prichard quoted as follows: “We people of Murwillumbah had had a gruelling – there can be no doubt about that.

Many have been brought to the very verge of ruin. But nobody has given way to grief and despair. People are beginning to accommodate themselves to the altered conditions and the buoyancy and hopefulness of those burnt out and other residents is most cheering. The optimism and grit displayed on every hand has been truly magnificent”.

One hundred and ten years later, Murwillumbah has been ravaged by the biggest flood in living memory.

There have been many millions of dollars-worth of damage as a direct result of that natural disaster.

Each family, each business and each home will never be quite the same again. Murwillumbah needs every bit of help it can get.

Hopefully the Prime Minister and the Premier of NSW who visited and saw firsthand the devastation that all who were in the path of the biggest and fastest flowing monster the town has ever experienced, will activate their governments to provide that extra leg up that so many desperately need.

I saw what I thought would be the biggest flood in my life time in 1954. It crushed Murwillumbah, but people rose to the challenge.

Many said we will never see another one as big, but the 1956 flood was marginally lower. We have had major floods in 1893, 1945, 1954, 1956, 1974 and a host of smaller ones.

Each time that people’s homes are inundated they lose their cherished possessions and with enormous monetary cost they start again. On a brief inspection of the town on Friday, I was appalled at the huge volumes of ruined furnishings which lined virtually every street. No one

The devastating floods have taken a high toll on a lot of local business and families and I think it is a great thing that so many relief funds have been set up and so many people are contributing to help these victims of mother nature. But where is our Federal Government? They give away billions of our taxpayers money in overseas aid every year and we always send help when others are in need from natural disasters.

So where are these people now?

When we could do with a hand, can’t we give some of that overseas aid money to our own farmers and business community. Come on Mal, charity starts at home and if you don’t help out a lot of people will be in financial hardship for a long time to come, tell these other countries that we need those funds at the moment more than they do and you just may get a few more votes next election.

Adani coal mine must not go ahead

If we needed a catalyst to take climate change seriously, we have seen it in the shire recently with devastating effects. Climate events getting worse and worse and happening more often.

If the world is to meet the Paris Agreement on 2 degrees of CO2, widely recognised and seriously regarded as being crucial to the wellbeing of our planet, we have to stop this huge Carmichael coal mine from going ahead. The ridiculous cry from both sides of politics of ‘jobs,’ to which I and climate change carers say ‘at what cost?’ needs to be redirected towards focusing on tourism (70,000 already in Qld) not on the 1,500 and 1,200 ongoing jobs Adani say would be created (erroneously put at 10,000 by some sources) and building renewable energy projects, for example a solar thermal plant, which would provide many more jobs than a coal mine.

Or any other sustainable projects for that matter. Lets see Malcolm Turnbull, supported by Labor, progress all those innovative, smart tech projects, not catastrophic climate change ‘clangers.’

The specious argument that Warren Mundine makes that our selling coal to India will help decrease the health effects for Indians from burning dung and other materials, is pretty pathetic. As a global citizen

Australia needs to do what it can to encourage India to continue building solar thermal (Adani has already built a large solar thermal project in south India, so they know how to do it) and PV and other renewables to really help India have cleaner air.

I call on Justine Elliot to state her opposition to public money for Adani’s proposed rail link from mine to port. Wayne Swan recently made a speech in Parliament and spoke to the media about his opposition to public money for Adani and the ‘dodgy’ (sic) links between the Northern Australian Infrastructure Fund (NAIF) and the coal industry.

Will you do the same Justine? It will be politically expedient as lots of voters in your electorate care a lot about this issue (think CSG).

A nearly $1 billion loan of taxpayers money for what could be a stranded asset would be a travesty, the money would be lost, and we could all think of so many areas of government services that desperately need this money.

The ‘bottom of the barrel’ argument by Matt Canavan, Minister for Resources & Northern Australia, that if we don’t supply the coal, some other country will (that’s the justification drug dealers use apparently) is pathetic and flies in the face of having the Paris Agreement achieved which many countries in the world are very serious about. www.350.org are having actions at the big 4 banks who will not rule out loaning to Adani 5-13 May and ACF (Australian Conservation Foundation) is having an Action against Adani 15-19 May. Please find out about these and be a part of it in whatever way you can.

The hottest day on record?

Not 2010, but 1828 at a blistering 53.9 °C. Back before man-made climate change was frying Australia, when CO2 was around 300ppm, the continent savoured an ideal preindustrial climate, right?

This is the kind of climate we are spending $10bn per annum to get back to, right again?

We are told today’s climate has more records and more extremes than times gone by, but the few records we have from the early 1800s are eye-popping.

The earliest temperature records we have shows that Australia was a land of shocking heatwaves and droughts, except for when it was bitterly cold or raging in flood.

Silliggy (Lance Pidgeon) has been researching records from early explorers and from newspapers.

What he’s uncovered is fascinating, it’s as if history is being erased.

For all that we hear about recent record-breaking climate extremes, records that are equally extreme, and sometimes even more so, are ignored. In January 1896 a savage blast “like a furnace” stretched across Australia from east to west and lasted for weeks.

The death toll reached 437 people in the eastern states. Newspaper reports showed that in Bourke the heat approached 120°F (48.9°C) on three days. The maximum at or above 102°F (38.9°C) for 24 days straight.

1. By Tuesday Jan 14, people were reported falling dead in the streets.

2. Unable to sleep, people in Brewarrina walked the streets at night for hours, thermometers recorded 109°F at midnight.

3. Overnight, the temperature did not fall below 103°F. 4. On Jan 18 in Wilcannia, five deaths were recorded in one day, the hospitals were overcrowded and reports said that “more deaths are hourly expected”.

5. By January 24, in Bourke, many businesses had shut down (almost everything bar the hotels).

6. Panic stricken Australians were fleeing to the hills.

What I found most interesting about this was the skill, dedication and length of meteorological data taken in the 1800s. When our climate is “the most important moral challenge” why is it there is so little interest in our longest and oldest data?

Who knew that one of the most meticulous and detailed temperature records in the world from the 1800s comes from Adelaide, largely thanks to Sir Charles Todd. Rainfall records even appear to go as far back as 1839.

The Great Australian Heatwave of January 2013 didn’t push the mercury above 50C at any weather station in Australia, yet it’s been 50C (122F) and hotter in many inland towns across Australia over the past century.

You can’t blame those high records on man-made global warming.

I will opt out of green bin

We should all be in favor of reducing waste. However, the Tweed Shire Council wants us to pay for a third bin whether we need one or not. I have chosen to ‘opt out’ of the third compost bin for these reasons: I have always recycled my green and domestic food waste which does not include meat, fish, bones and disposable nappies, back into my organic garden. For the council to suggest that they will mulch and compost these contaminants which are known to harbor pathogens and E-coli bacteria is in my opinion unacceptable and potentially unsafe.

I will not accept Council charging me to pick up my compostable waste so Council can then offer to sell it back to me at a later date. Who in their right mind would purchase potentially contaminated compost anyway? Certainly not me.

I have no place or no use for a third bin.

I have always been opposed to the use of disposable nappies, however they seem to be here for good.

Imagine a soiled nappy sitting in a wheelie bin for up to two weeks.

Imagine the types of meat products, fish, chicken and the like sitting in the third wheelie bin waiting to be sent to the tip to be mulched into compost. Who will be washing and disinfecting the wheelie bins each week? If you do not require the third bin, simply ‘opt out’ to Council as I have.

Andrew Bennett, Murwillumbah

Aftermath (A poem by Beth Keevers)

Someone said, ‘Send her down Huey.’ And he did.

First sprinkling and tinkling, playing musical notes Then rushing and gushing and people with boats Moved them to high ground so if needed be Could save themselves and their animals tied up to the top of the trees The wind blew, the rain fell to Thunderous applause Rivers rose up filling gullies and gorge Valleys and brooklets, buckets and boots right up to the brim From shoreline to hemline soaked through to the skin Cars bobbing restlessly floating downstream Yachts torn away broken, lost all their esteem When a truck passes by followed by diggers and a bus You know Council is gonna have some big issues to discuss When the water has receded and people go back to their lives Some people have nothing, others left high and dry Start clean up and push their lives out in the street Wash out the mud, friends who were strangers do meet Clean up fix up put up start again Can we all do it? Is there a plan?

To get the town moving, to start saving ourselves We’ll have to dig deep, inside emotions we’ll delve So roll up your shirt sleeves and give it a go We’ll all work together, we know that’s how it goes And little piece by little piece it will all come together And generations from now will be so much the better.

Desperate push for Category C widening uncertain SEVERAL BUSINESS owners at Tumbulgum have had an anxious wait this week to see whether they will be included in the Category C disaster listing alongside Murwillumbah, South Murwillumbah, Bray Park and Condong.

Several Tumbulgum businesses met at the Tumbulgum Tavern on Monday, April 17, (pictured below) to discuss the appeal for Category C listing including a push for business owners to complete a crucial online survey.

While early indications have been negative, there’s still hope for those communities that were not included in the (Cat C) announcement last week and where residents feel they were just as impacted.

Tumbulgum Community Association Inc president Jenny Kidd wrote to Member for Tweed Geoff Provest stressing the important of the inclusion.

“The Tumbulgum Business community is surprised that this Category C classification has only extended as far as Condong along the Tweed Valley and not included Tumbulgum,” she wrote.

Several business owners also wanted to highlight that much of Tumbulgum was cut off from internet and electricity in certain places for days, with no thought given to an (online only) survey.

The survey deadline was on Tuesday, April 18, and has now expired.

The complaints from Tumbulgum business owners came as Mr Provest told The Weekly last week that he was “hopeful” for other Tweed communities including Tumbulgum, Chinderah, Burringbar and Mooball to be eligible for Category C disaster funding.

The Category C disaster funding includes standard grants of up to $15,000 for small businesses and not-for-profit organisations.

In fact, there have been several modifications to the outlined Category C listing for parts of the Tweed, including that the grants are not available to large rural operators and those businesses with more than 20 employees.

Member for Lismore Thomas George visited Murwillumbah last week to make the official Category C announcement and said he is relieved that additional disaster recovery assistance was now available for small businesses severely affected by the North Coast Floods.

Mr George said he was also working on a solution for primary producers and big business (more than 21 staff) who currently

will not receive the disaster funding grant.

“Today’s additional assistance will ensure eligible small businesses and non-profit organisations can access grants of up to $15,000 to assist with their clean-up and recovery costs,” Mr George said.

“We know that small businesses are the life blood of regional communities in particular, so it’s vital that we give them a helping hand to get back on their feet.”

The assistance is available to eligible small businesses and non-profit organisations in impacted parts of Murwillumbah.

“Assessments have been carried out rapidly to ensure those who have lost so much have the support they need to rebuild their livelihoods,” Mr George said.

“Small business owners are often the first to lend a helping hand when a community is doing it tough, and today we are supporting them on their journey to recovery.”

Mr George acknowledged the hard work and efforts of Recovery Coordinator Euan Ferguson, Tweed Shire Council, Murwillumbah District Business Chamber and local businesses for providing the vital information needed to make this application successful.

Mayor of Tweed, Councillor Katie Milne has also welcomed the approval of Category C support.

Councillor Milne says the Category C support is vital for small businesses hit so hard by the disaster.

“This is really fantastic news; the floods and the clean-up

have taken such an emotional and physical toll on everyone involved,” she said.

“The damage, clean-up and recovery costs have been significant, these grants will help, but it’s so important at this time that we continue to shop local and get behind these businesses that have lost so much.”

To apply for a recovery grant, small businesses in the local government areas above can contact the NSW Rural Assistance Authority on 1800 678 593 or by visiting http://raa.nsw.gov.au.

Further information on disaster assistance is available at http://disasterassist.gov.au and http://emergency.nsw.gov.au.

What is covered • Cost of clean-up and restoration costs • Cost of relocation to temporary premises where immediate re-opening of damaged premises are not possible • Damage to plant/equipment • Replacement of damaged/spoiled stock What is not covered • Damage to dwellings • Damages covered by insurance • Cost of using your own labour or your own equipment • Loss of income/trade • All capital items purchased after the flood The process of claiming the grant funds is carried out by eligible businesses initially footing the bill for the recovery costs and then claiming those costs back through receipts.

Top praise for our SES local heroes following worst floods ever OUR VOLUNTEER heroes at the Murwillumbah State Emergency Service (SES) are still reeling from one of the worst natural disasters in Tweed’s history, with stories of near misses emerging this week and acts of heroism deserving of local recognition.

SES Rescue Volunteers Alex Hetherington and Kenny Harrison were among the first on the river to help evacuate South Murwillumbah residents during torrential rain, in total darkness and as the Tweed and Rous rivers were flowing at unprecedented levels on Thursday, March 30.

Alex and Kenny are both trained in “swift water rescue” which includes fast moving rapids.

“Kenny was driving the boat at the time and we’d just dropped off two paramedics at a home when we were holding the boat near the house against the current,” Alex said.

It was around this time that Alex and Kenny shifted the boat and the propeller struck a car roof under the water, which caused the engine to stall and shut off.

“We lost the engine and the water took the boat straight into a house and flipped us into the water,” he said.

Although trained under extreme water conditions, Alex and Kenny were separated and floating at high speed towards debris.

“It was too dark to tell where you were, we were reaching

out for anything to hold on to,” Alex said.

Using their training the pair eventually secured themselves to a verandah, where they made their way into the house.

The story is one of dozens from across the Tweed involving a total of 515 calls for assistance from the SES. During The Weekly’s visit to the SES Murwillumbah sheds, members said they wanted to extend their deepest gratitude to Shoobridge Transport owner Peter Shoobridge.

“Shoobridge Transport supplied all the diesel fuel they could to rescue boats, when there was no fuel available,” the SES volunteers said. Shoobridges also supplied local Police vehicles and other emergency vehicles with fuel.

“We also received a $1000 donation to the SES from Bray Park Store, these and other support from within the community has been hugely appreciated.”

Murwillumbah SES Unit Controller John MacgregorSkinner said of the 515 call 200 were for “flood rescue by flood boat or helicopter”.

Mr Macgregor-Skinner said at the height of the river on Friday, March 31, SES crews were responding to audible calls for help from stricken residents.

“The Unit had 34 personnel during the period in Headquarters, Administration, Logistics, Intelligence and Field,” he said.

“So intent were they to do their jobs, as the Controller I

had difficulty in effecting rotations for rest periods.

“It is a credit to the training and skill of the team despite some members, while on duty, received word their own homes were inundated.”

Mr Macgregor-Skinner said after the water had subsided, the crews were overwhelmed by the spontaneous warm appreciation expressed by all people encountered.

“It is this type of feeling that makes us as volunteers value the role that we play in situations like this event,” he said.

“Obtaining food from traditional outlets was difficult to impossible and we were extremely grateful that during this five day event many people and organisations provided sustenance to the HQ. “Like Lauran who dropped of a very large container of soup and the unknown person on a mo-ped who was in out before we knew and left a pile of scones and pikelets complete with jam and cream and also Libby who delivered some homemade wares.

“Other generous supplies received came from Coles Murwillumbah, Commonwealth Bank, Re Café Nate, Swifties, KFC and The Modern Grocer.

“When things get tough, this is a fantastic community.”

$7 million Chinderah redevelopment

y a D s ’ r e Moth High Tea Sunday 14th May 12pm - 4pm

$35 Per Person & $15 Children 4-11yrs

A PROPOSED $7 million major redevelopment of the Chinderah Tavern site which will change the face of the small riverside community is currently on public exhibition for public input.

The application made to Tweed Shire Council on February 10, would see the site redeveloped into ‘Chinderah Village’ a mixed-use development site comprising a pub, restuarant, cafe, retail premises, supermarket, community facilities, medical centre, indoor recreational facility and markets. The application also includes a proposal for a new vehicular access point from Chinderah Bay Drive.

The development site encompasses the block of land bounded by Chinderah Bay Drive, River Street and Terrace Street.

The site is owned by Datenews Investments of Sydney, who also own and redeveloped the Kingscliff Beach Hotel and Coolangatta Sands Hotel with the venues being operated by the Taphouse Hotel Group.

The maximum height of buildings proposed under the conceptual master plan is would be 11.5m.

The Chinderah Village concept will require earthworks including filling to ensure future building are located above the designated flood level for the site.

A Flood Impact Assessment has been prepared by BMT WBM which provides an assessment of the Chinderah Village Concept. The assessment undertaken confirms that the development will not adversely affect flood behaviour or result in impacts to surroundings properties.

The report states that during a 5 per cent flood at Chinderah (i.e. a five per cent chance of occurring each year) the flood level reaches 2.2m at the site whilst during a one per cent flood the level at the site is 3.2m.

The Tweed River at Chinderah (Barneys Point) peaked at 2.3 metres during the recent Tweed Floods.

According to the report “the existing levels of the site are typically below 2.2m.”

The application states it may be considered to fill parts of the site above 2.2m and flood modelling found that this “will not result in significant adverse impact on local flood behaviour or adjoining land .

“Results from the assessment indicate that, development of the site can be undertaken without significant adverse impacts offsite. Flow paths are provided across the site (i.e. car park) transverse to the direction of Tweed River flow. Furthermore, as calculated by HHH (Hamilton Hayes Henderson Architects), the area proposed to be filled above 2.2m measures approx.

6,000m2 , which constitutes 37.5 per cent of the 1.6Ha site’ and is less than 50 per cent of the area.”

According to the development application the main aims of the Chinderah Village development are as follows: • A true ‘village centre’ activated by a suite of compatible uses (e.g. tavern/hotel, retail, café, markets, commercial premises and community facilities).

• A centrally located village green to encourage community integration and emphasise ‘sense of place’.

• Activation of the site during the day and night, weekday and weekend.

• Opportunities for leisure activities (both public and private) and strong aesthetic and environmental outcomes given proximity to the Tweed River foreshore.

• Maintain an appropriate character and level of amenity given the visual prominence of the site.

• Emphasising the relationship between buildings and the adjoining residential dwellings. Buildings will address the streets and provide a high quality public realm.

• Development will offer good quality, safe and readily legible pedestrian connections within the broader Chinderah locality.

Insurance claim fears at Railway Street as disaster hits home

THE HEARTACHE continues to unravel across South Murwillumbah following the Tweed Floods with news that several Railway Street residents may have had their insurance claims denied.

Railway Street residents, along with many other South Murwillumbah residents, thought they would be covered by their contracts with Allianz Insurance, however it appears their hopes were dashed this week.

In many ways, the disaster starts now for many residents without insurance cover as they face the prospect of long and costly renovations, as well as replacing most of their belongings.

Although the definition could have been a deciding factor in many insurance claims, including questions around “flood” or “storm” cover, many of the insurance companies offer flood insurance as a premium option only attracting a higher price.

While many argue the flood was caused by the storm, ultimately it’s up to insurance companies to decide and upon appeal or more broadly the Insurance Ombudsman.

In some cases, the premiums were too high for residents who had built their floor to the historic flood levels and they may have opted out of the cover - only to see the waters rise and rise as they did.

It should be noted that not all claims have been processed at Railway Street and each claim is assessed case by case.

One resident of Railway Street spoke to The Weekly, but did not want to be named, and said they were devastated by their claim being denied on Tuesday, April 18.

To find out more, The Weekly spoke to Allianz Australia General Manager Nicholas Schofield who was asked to field several questions around the claims, of which he has supplied a response below.

Q1. Were Hydrology studies undertaken after the storm cell impacted the Murwillumbah region?

“A ‘Wide Area’ report for Murwillumbah has been received.

Site-specific reports have so far been commissioned for 10 properties of which 7 are in Railway Street, Murwillumbah,” Mr Schofield said.

Q2. What support has been offered to Railway Street residents and others that have had their claims denied?

“In Railway Street, we have claims for seven properties.

All our policyholders in Railway Street opted to not include flood cover in their home insurance policy,” he said.

“Initial indications are that, because they chose not to take out flood cover, they will not be covered for flood.

“However, site-specific hydrologist reports have been commissioned in order to formally determine the correct policy coverage.”

Q3. What’s the next course of action from residents in the region?

“Each claim will be assessed in line with the policy coverage purchased by the policyholder,” Mr Schofield said.

“Where the damage is covered by the policy, we are working closely with our Loss Adjusting partner firms, panel and local builders, trades and suppliers to carry out building ‘make safe’, repairs or rectification, or ensure contents replacement, as quickly as possible.

“Where claims are not covered as a result of flood, we have endeavoured to inform the policyholder as early as possible once details of the cause of loss are known.

“Where there is any uncertainty as to the cause of loss, we work with an independent hydrologist to obtain a sitespecific hydrology report so that all available information can be provided to the customer.

“This allows the customer to consider whether they wish to dispute the cause of loss, denial or other claim related decision through our Internal Dispute Resolution process or the Financial Ombudsman Service.”

Q4. Could you please outline the number of claims the company has had from Murwillumbah specifically?

Claims have been lodged by 175 policyholders in

Murwillumbah. Most of those customers have had their claims accepted, including those that suffered flood damage but who chose to include flood cover in their policy and pay the additional flood premium.

Q5. What was it about the claims that determined the decision? And the decision final?

“Each claim is considered on its own merits,” Mr Schofield said.

“The cause of the loss for the Railway Street policyholders, according to the ‘Wide Area’ hydrology report, was flood, in accordance with the legislated standard definition under the Insurance Contracts Act. “Whether the customer has chosen to opt out of flood cover, or opt in and pay the additional flood premium, will determine whether the loss will be covered.

“In some cases, losses may be caused by storm (eg a damaged roof causing rain damage) as well as flood.

“In such cases, if the policyholder had chosen not to include flood cover, the storm damage would be covered but the flood damage would not.

“Any decision to deny a claim can be initially disputed through our Internal Dispute Resolution process , then through the Financial Ombudsman Service if the customer remains unsatisfied with the decision and wishes to have it reviewed by an independent body. “

Stokers Siding Family Fun Day

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Thursday April 20 - 2017

Easter bunny drops in for chocolate fun SEVERAL FREE Easter events took place across the long weekend including the first on Thursday, April 13, hosted by the Gold Coast Airport at Knox Park, Murwillumbah.

The free community barbeque was for flood affected residents as well as providing plenty of fun and Easter goodies for local kids.

Staff from the airport cooked up a huge spread for the community with live music, face painting jumping castle and arts and crafts.

The Gold Coast Airport management also presented a cheque for $6,000 to Mayor Katie Milne, as a contribution to the Mayoral Appeal flood appeal.

Next up was the Easter Egg Hunt at the Murwillumbah Hockey Fields on Saturday, April 22, hosted by Murwillumbah First National real estate agent Sally Mather.

Sally said she had amazing support from local businesses who donated Easter eggs to ensure every child went home happy.

“We had an amazing turn out with about 70 kids and families coming along to enjoy the day,” she said.

“I want to thank those local businesses

that helped support the Easter Egg Hunt including Verla Swift Pharmarcy and IGA Murwillumbah.”

The third event was also on Saturday, April 13, and was a Family Fun Day at Stokers Siding.

Event organiser Karen Dawson said the families who came enjoyed wonderful music provided by Sean O’Hara and his friends Dave and Arno, and Wendy who got everybody dancing.

“Matthew Hetherington provided us with performance poetry, including one about his daughter,” she said.

“Sharon is a professional artist and tried painting on faces for the first time, creating many satisfied smiles.

“There was a sausage sizzle provided by the lovely Scott and Karen, and cakes by Pip from the Stokers Hall Committee.

“Free transport was generously provided

by Gosel’s Bus Service. All involved donated their talents and time willingly.

“Highlights were kids connecting with kids, and parents being able to share stories about how they coped with the extreme challenges of the flood.

“Some children told hopeful and positive stories about their experiences.”

Feeling Dizzy?

You could have a balance or vestibular disorder

BALANCE is easily taken for granted.

However when the fragile vestibular organs of the inner ear and brain are damaged by illness or injury, anyone can lose their ability to balance.

T

o achieve good physical balance, we rely on our brain, eyes, innerear, and musculoskeletal system to work in harmony.

Balance disorders are typically under diagnosed and undertreated.

More than 1/3 of adults aged 40 years and older experience vestibular dysfunction at some point in their lives.

Common symptoms of vestibular disorders include vertigo and dizziness. Vertigo is a spinning or whirling sensation, or an illusion of the self or world moving. Dizziness is a lightheaded, floating or rocking sensation. Poor balance, nausea, visual disturbances, headache, hearing loss, tinnitus, and pain or fullness in the ears can accompany vestibular disorders.

HOW CAN YOUR OSTEOPATH HELP? There are many causes of dizziness or vertigo. But most types of vestibular disorders can be diagnosed by means of a thorough medical history and clinical examination. The most common type of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), and once diagnosed is easily treated with repositioning manoeuvres, with a success rate of 90%.

Another type of vertigo encountered is Cervicogenic Vertigo, which is due to a dysfunction in the neck. Again once diagnosed, it can be easily treated with Osteopathic intervention.

Your Osteopath can diagnose most of the common types of vestibular disorders and can either treat the condition or refer on for further diagnosis and treatment.

Support needed as Harper faces liver transplant A SPECIAL little girl who has developed a big place in the hearts of Tweed residents is a step closer to receiving a liver transplant this year, that could change her life, but the family are in need of a helping hand.

Cabarita two-year-old Harper Loadsman (pictured below) has been diagnosed with several debilitating conditions including Alagille Syndrome and Biliary Atresia, which her mother Jana-Jade says has even baffled medical professionals.

“Harper’s syndrome is a multi-system disease which affects the intra-hepatic ducts of the liver, the spleen, the eyes, heart and spine,” Mrs Loadsman said.

“But much to everyone’s shock, little Harper was also fighting the effects of an extra-hepatic liver disease, Biliary Atresia.

“Both of these are very rare conditions, so rare, that the specialists at Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital have never seen anyone having both of these conditions together before.”

Unfortunately, for little Harper and her family, the result has culminated in her requiring a liver transplant at the earliest possibility.

With a family of seven now having to move to Brisbane to be near the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital for a minimum of a three-month post-transplant stay, the family now need to raise as many funds as possible to ensure the family can

stay together.

A special fundraising day has been announced called Hope for Harper which is on this weekend at the Kingscliff Beach Hotel on Saturday, April 22, from 3pm.

“We will have live music from everyone’s favourite man Mason Rack,” Mrs Loadman said.

The family also wanted to extend their gratitude to Balter Beer and Stone & Wood Brewery, with the sales of every one of their beers going towards the Hope for Harper fund raiser.

“There are major prizes such as Margaret River signed Josh Kerr rashvest, a genuine pearl necklace, signed surfboard from Josh Kerr, Cabarita Surf softboard signed by Chippa Wilson, Cabarita Beach Hotel accommodation and dining package, Surfboard Warehouse SUP board package and many many more awesome prizes to be won,” Mrs Loadsman said.

Raffle Tickets are $5 each and are being sold at the Cabarita Surf Shop, Cabarita Meats, Martys At Caba, Cabarita Beach Chempro, The Corner Collective, Suzies Cabarita Bakery and Halcyon House.

The family has already received word that the transplant will take place on May 29.

You can also make direct donations to the family at www. gofundme.com/hopeforharperlivertransplant - which has a target of $50,000.

Volunteers needed for Starlight Foundation to help sick children

THE STARLIGHT Children’s Foundation has put an urgent callout for Tweed volunteers to assist in raising $1.3 million across Australia to support thousands of seriously ill children and their families this Starlight Day (Friday, May 5).

Held nationally, Starlight Day aims to raise much-needed funds to deliver happiness to seriously ill children through Starlight’s Starlight Express Room and Captain Starlight programs which are available in every children’s hospital across the country.

Starlight needs more than 2,000 purple and yellow-clad volunteers on Friday, 5 May, to hit the streets selling Starlight merchandise and collecting donations in central business districts.

Individuals, schools, universities and community groups are also invited to fundraise anytime during May to help raise funds in their local community.

Starlight CEO Louise Baxter, said volunteers are vital to the success of Starlight Day and taking part in Starlight Day is a fun and rewarding experience.

“Our Starlight Day volunteers bring Starlight Day to life and in turn, they help Starlight deliver fun, joy and laughter to thousands of sick kids and their families across Australia,” she said.

Helping to raise just $39 helps Starlight power happiness in one child alone, providing them with access to Starlight’s hospital programs including Captain Starlight and the Starlight Express Room.

Starlight Day is generously supported nationally by EB Games and is endorsed by Starlight’s ambassadors including Billy Slater, Mick Fanning and Neil Perry.

For more information about fundraising and volunteering on Starlight Day, or to donate, please visit www.starlight.org.au. or phone 1300 727 827.

Hefty fines for Tweed Heads and Terranora developments Bid to shift buffer at Cobaki

TWO RESIDENTIAL developments at Tweed Heads and Terranora have been fined $15,000 each by the Department of Planning and Environment for failing to manage dust.

Developer Altitude Lifestyle, part of the Metricon Group, was found to have breached planning conditions related to dust management at the Altitude Aspire site in Terranora, where the company is constructing a new housing development of 250 lots.

Following community complaints, the Department’s investigation revealed that the company had failed to take adequate measures including dampening surfaces during earthworks, spraying topsoil stockpiles with dust suppression and installing physical dust fences to prevent dust from affecting the amenity of the neighbourhood during construction.

In addition, the Department issued an Official Caution to Altitude Lifestyle for failing to keep exposed bulk earthworks areas below the five hectare limit contained in the approval.

According to the Department of Planning the company has rectified the breach and implemented appropriate systems to track progress .

Hutchison Civil also breached dust control conditions at the Fraser Cove 156-lot residential development in Tweed Heads South by failing to build fences to block dust and failing to dampen surfaces during earthworks.

The company has since implemented the required dust mitigation and management measures and the Department

said they will continue to monitor the site Dr Oliver Holm, Executive Director of Resource Assessments and Compliance, said both companies must now pay a $15,000 fine, the largest penalty notice the department can issue for compliance breaches.

“Dust management conditions exist to protect the neighbourhood from the air-quality impacts of large construction sites,” Dr Holm said.

“At the moment the Tweed area is a residential development hot spot and the Department’s compliance officers have been busy keeping watch.

“Currently, we are monitoring around 65 major project sites in the Tweed area, where the construction of largescale residential developments is taking place.”

Dr Holm said that compliance officers undertake unannounced surveillance and site visits, audits, and followup community complaints to ensure projects meet planning approval conditions “However, this is only a small part of our team’s compliance monitoring work as we make visits to major projects across the entire state,” he said.

“The community quite rightly have an expectation that developments in their neighbourhood are being done properly and follow all conditions that were imposed as part of their approvals.

The Department’s February compliance report shows five penalties worth a total $75,000 were issued across the state and more than 100 major project sites were visited including Kings Forest, with most operators and developers found to be compliant.

THE DEPARTMENT of Planning and Environment has recommended the independent Planning Assessment Commission (PAC) refuse a request from Leda Manorstead to modify an approved fencing plan at its Cobaki Lakes development and remove conditions in its approval relating to buffer zones.

Leda Manorstead has requested removing fencing from six areas of the site, as well removing the 100-metre buffer zone condition.

Fencing and buffer zones to protect environmentally sensitive areas and local plants and animals were conditions of the original Department approval, however, Leda has requested they be removed.

"Our conditions require fencing between the development works and environmentally sensitive areas as well as a 100 metres buffer zone around a raptor bird nesting tree on the site if nesting activity was happening before construction started," Anthea Sargeant, Executive Director, Key Sites and Industry Assessments said.

"We do not support the requested amendments to remove the fences. To do so would cause unnecessary risks and increase the chances that these areas could be harmed.

"Also, no nesting activity happened before construction began, so the 100-metre buffer condition has already been satisfied and there is no reason to remove it," Ms Sargeant said.

"We have recommended to the Commission that the company’s request be refused."

The Commission will make a final decision on the proposal.

Update on Kingscliff foreshore redevelopment Increasing renovations

across Australia says report

WORK IS well underway on the Kingscliff foreshore

redevelopment with construction of the seawall beginning and stages 2 and 3 expected to commence in October.

The holiday park, one of seven managed by Tweed Coast Holiday Parks closed in January this year for a major redevelopment as part of a $21.2 million Kingscliff Foreshore Revitalisation project to enhance and protect the foreshore.

The revitalisation project includes the construction of a permanent sea wall to protect the coastline, a major redevelopment of the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park and the creation of Kingscliff Central Park.

Stage 1 of the redevelopment is currently underway and focuses on the establishment of a 500-metre-long permanent sea wall from the northern end of the Holiday Park to the southern end of Cudgen Surf Lifesaving Club, as well as a stepped concrete seawall down to the beach and the implementation of stormwater drainage.

The Kingscliff foreshore has seen severe erosion in recent years and the implementation of a seawall will protect landbased assets which are under serious threat from coastal hazards. Estimated timing for completion of the seawall is November, 2017.

Stage 2 of the project will focus on the redevelopment of Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park and Stage 3 of the project will see the creation of Kingscliff Central Park.

Construction for both is scheduled to begin in October 2017 and the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park is expected to reopen in August 2018.

Construction work on the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park began in early March with the demolition of existing infrastructure including the removal of toilet blocks, shelters and other structures, internal roads and selected vegetation.

Unit Coordinator Andrew Illingworth in conjunction with Council and Project Manager Stewart Brawley have endeavoured to reduce any negative impacts on the environment throughout the entire Holiday Park redevelopment. Park landscaping, internal park road re-establishment, traffic flow both during and post redevelopment through the main street and the use of local suppliers were all considered in the plans. Security fencing has also been installed around the work site with banner mesh screening to contain dust from the worksite.

Tweed Coast Holiday Parks said different layout

AN INCREASING number of Australian home owners are undertaking renovations according to Westpac’s latest Home Ownership Report.

configurations were considered for the Holiday Park redesign in order to preserve as many of the Norfolk Pines as possible which some Kingscliff residents were disappointed to see removed including Ron Cooper whilst others disagreed and identified Norfolk Pines as a nonnative species.

An independent arborist assessment identified many of the Norfolk Island Pines in the holiday park were under stress and recommended their removal. Six Norfolk Pines and a number of smaller trees and shrubs were removed and the Holiday Park will be revegetated with locallyoccurring native trees and shrubs.

The removal of the Norfolk Pines was also required to relocate the park entrance to the northern end of the park which will reduce the number of vans driving through the town centre.

Another structural change includes reducing the park size by a third, with the vacated land being used to create a new community space, Kingscliff Central Park.

The park will be a community asset in creating a common space for people to enjoy, that connects the town centre to the beach.

Supporting the community is something Mr Illingworth is extremely passionate about and as a result Tweed Coast Holiday Parks is contributing $7.5m to the funding of the Central Park.

“Kingscliff is a fantastic town with such a strong community. You can’t go wrong investing in great communities” Mr Illingworth said.

Road surfaces and concrete slabs within the Holiday Park will be reused to establish the new internal park roads which will reduce the amount going to landfill and reduce the number of trucks moving through the town centre.

Tweed Coast Holiday Parks will be using local suppliers where possible and the entire redevelopment project is expected to create more than 200 jobs during the project and post construction.

Profits from Tweed Coast Holiday Parks will be used for ongoing foreshore protection and restoration works.

The establishment of an on-site office is also currently underway which will offer the community the opportunity to engage and ask questions throughout the duration of the project.

The report found just over three quarters (76 per cent) of all Australian home owners are renovating, up 12 per cent since 2015.

Of those, almost half (47 per cent) are considering renovating their home, one in five (20 per cent) are currently renovating, and 70 per cent have undertaken renovations in the past.

The nationwide study commissioned by Westpac, found that renovating is now the highest priority for nearly one third (32 per cent) of home owners who are considering a house-related activity in the next five years.

Gen Y was found to be the generation of home owners most likely to be considering renovating in the future (46 per cent), compared to Gen X (39 per cent) and then Baby Boomers (31 per cent).

Chris Screen, Westpac Group Head of Home Ownership, said the competitive housing market has inspired a surge in home renovations.

“With rising property prices and intense competition for property in metro areas, many home owners are looking to renovate their existing property rather than sell and risk losing their position in the market,” he said.

“In the current market, many renovators are taking advantage of increased home equity to upgrade their homes to suit their needs. If planning to renovate, home owners should take steps to find out the estimated available equity in their property, to help with the budgeting and planning.”

Generational differences amongst current renovators were uncovered by Westpac’s Home Ownership Report, with almost one in four (23 per cent) Gen Y home owners currently undertaking renovations on their home, followed by Gen X (16 per cent) and then Baby Boomers (13 per cent).

When asked why they renovate, Australian home owners who had identified renovating as their highest priority in the next five years said the main reasons would be to have a nicer home (74 per cent) and to lower home maintenance and/or upkeep (30 per cent).

Life stages also play a role in planning renovations, with home owners who are getting married (52 per cent) or having a baby (51 per cent) most likely to be considering renovating.

The growing popularity of renovations, combined with a tough housing market has most likely played a role in the drop in Australian home owners who classify ‘move in ready’ homes as an essential core feature of a home (34 per cent compared to 42 per cent in 2015).

“In such a competitive housing landscape, it isn’t surprising that Australians’ property expectations are shifting and more home owners are choosing to buy and renovate later, in order to get a foot on the property ladder,” said Mr Screen.

Tips for prospective renovators: • Ask yourself why: Are you renovating to create more space for your family, to update the appearance or functionality of your home, or to add value?

• Research: If you are renovating to add value to your property, research the area thoroughly to avoid overcapitalising on your renovations and to understand what buyers in the area are looking for.

• Budget: Set your budget and begin sourcing quotes to get a realistic idea of how much the work will cost and what you can achieve within your budget.

Lest We Forget ANZAC Tribute Poem “ONLY DEATH CAN HEAL”

by Paddy O’Brien A youth with bright and eager mind Hears not his mother’s cries Conscriptions draft, war greedy thirst There’s families last goodbyes And when you hear your call to war You cherish your return To family and to loved ones For whom your heart does yearn Then memories of tragedies That happen there abroad Cause restlessness, anxiety

That love cannot afford Now back in civvy life he sees Stark shadows lay at night As visions life to chill the spine That haunt this soldier’s plight Although he cannot settle down His family’s left to grieve This solider turns to alcohol To give his senses leave Unsettled. Bitter, out of work Fate left his spirit ill And nothing seems to matter now No golden dreams to fill Soup kitchens are his only meals

To try and find a friend One freezing night a gutter death This solider meets his end His family’s sorrow is intense For his lost soul they pray Will, honoured and respected be When nothing left to say And when they prayed they said to God He died in drunken sin At least the gates leave open wide A new life to begin And as he stumbles to those gates Do not turn him away Have angels there to watch and wait

Anzac Day 2017 To help him on his way And those that are now there Try not to notice him His haggard face, his hidden wounds His mouth so set and grim Wars leave deep sores and break the soul The mind too numb to feel Deep hidden wounds that cry for love When only death can heal A rusted gun, a broken sword No bugle call he’ll hear And in our memory he will live A solider we loved so dear

Adventure turns to nightmare during “war to end all wars” The story of Burringbar Lance Corporal Charles Allard of the 7th Infantry Brigade, 26 Battalion BURRINGBAR LOCAL Charles Allard enlisted in World War I on September 24, 1915, joining the First Australian Imperial Force (AIF) with the rank of Private.

It was Charles’ second attempt at joining the AIF, after he was told on his first attempt that he was too young for the army’s requirements.

However, as the war progressed by his second attempt, when the Government was attempting to raise 100,000 additional troops for the war effort, he was readily accepted.

Charles was born in the Clarence Area on October 8, 1895, and his parents moved to Burringbar to operate a dairy farm.

Charles had four sisters and one brother and was educated at Burringbar and after leaving school he became a farmhand.

What made Charles so keen to join the AIF cannot be known specifically, as there are no records of his thoughts at the time.

But what is known is a popular movement towards young men enlisting to contribute to the war effort with underlying patriotism towards England.

The war had been in progress since 1914 and patriotism for what we then called the “Mother Country” (England) was high, propagated by both government and the media.

However, another more likely story may have been that to a young boy working on a farm for untold hours, seven days a week, the war was the most exciting thing that had ever happened and the pundits of the day were sure the war would end in a hurry.

Little did they know that this war “the war to end all wars” was to become a seemingly never ending bloodbath for the next five

years and Charles was dropped into the middle of the action.

On March 28, 1916, Charles found himself and more than 900 others on His Majesty’s Troop Ship A73 bound for the war zone as the 9th-12th replacements for the 7th Infantry headed from Egypt to France after Gallipoli.

The AIF had suffered considerable losses in their early battles in France, so Charles and his companions were pushed straight into the Battle for Pozieres on the Somme River.

The 26th Battalion which Charles had joined as a replacement are credited with being the first to successfully breach the German barbed wire at Mouquet and enter the German trenches.

When the replacements arrived in the trenches the battleweary veterans took one look at them and pitied them, they were so fresh faced and as one said, “they looked just like normal men” something they had not seen for some time.

From the War Diaries, the replacements acquitted themselves with credit.

They later attacked Thieval north of Pozieres and breached the trenches but were driven out by concentrated machine gun and heavy artillery fire.

Charles recounted how during a barrage his trench was collapsed and luckily, he was dug out and saved or risked being buried alive.

TYALGUM: Dawn service at Memorial at 5.15am.

Breakfast in the hotel after the service.

UKI: Dawn service at War Memorial at 4.20am.

Breakfast in the hall after the service.

The War Diaries for his Battalion cover this incident and relate the heavy loss of life with most buried alive.

The normal routine for manning the trenches was to have 15 days in the trenches followed by eight back at the Nursery.

Where possible longer rest periods were given back from the front and if you were lucky after 12 months they received a ticket to England every four months for eight days.

Charles is known to have received one of these leaves.

The Australian successes at and around Pozieres increased troop morale as it was now realised by a battle weary Allied force that the Germans could be beaten.

The German High Command also realised this and to break moral concentrated their heavy artillery fire over the trenches to an area known as the “Nursery” where reinforcements and the soldiers from the trenches were resting.

On the June 17, 1917, the Australians were withdrawn from the Battle of the Somme to the battle for Messines which was initiated by the detonation of five-hundred tonnes of high explosives placed in 19 tunnels dug by the British, including Australian, tunnellers under the German fortifications along the Messines Ridge.

The resultant explosion, the largest ever in the world to that date, was clearly felt and heard in London.

The Battle for Messines was the first time

the new reinforcements were subjected to Phosgene Gas. This gas had previously been delivered by hand grenade and being subject to wind and how far it could be thrown was not all that popular with the enemy.

Later the Germans perfected artillery and mortar shells which delivered the gas into the back of the enemy lines.

Charles along with the rest of his group would have experienced gas to some degree.

The big bang took some of the spirit out of the German troops and they had to regroup for a major spring offensive launched on March 21, 1918.

The AIF 3rd and 4th Divisions under the Command of General Monash were rushed from their position at Messines to defend Amiens and were told to hold the line.

They were very successful and it proved to be a turning point for the war.

The Australians held their positions despite at times heavy losses until the armistice.

During this time, the 26th Battalion have been given credit with exceptional bravery and the capture of the first German tank and crew.

It is not known exactly what part Charles played in the actions of the 26th Battalion from June 1916 until the end of the war.

What is known is that like many who were with him he did not want to talk about their exploits on return. Charles was obviously not a shrinking violet by nature and during his time in the AIF became the holder of the lightweight boxing title for his Battalion.

When he returned to Australia with the help of his family and his accrued pay he purchased a going dairy at Dicksons Road.

From there he went on to farm at Upper Burringbar passing away February 7, 1956.

Photos of Charles on joining the AIF and later on his Burringbar farm are displayed on the local memorial.

Australian Light Horse Tribute

Remember them, my brothers, lend them a helping hand - They led that charge of splendour that won the Promised Land - And those who came not homeward, their memory is grand - The Wells of old Beersheba will guard their graves of sand. – From the poem “The Wells of Old Beersheeba”:

THIS YEAR marks the centenary of the Australian Light Horse charge at Beersheba (in Israel), where on October 31, 1917, the Australian 4th and 12th Light Horse Regiment staged what we know today as the last cavalry charge in history.

The horses who had already traversed the great sandy deserts of the Middle East then went on to carry their men to victory at Damascus.

In Burringbar this Anzac Day, local horse riders will pay tribute to the Australian Light Horsemen and their horses by participating in the march down Broadway to the War Memorial.

More than 130,000 Australian ‘waler’ war horses served in the Great War. The Australian horses were known for their endurance, they were sturdy and able to withstand the harsh desert conditions, travelling great distances overland with little

water.

Most horses would normally drink 30 litres of water a day. During the Middle Eastern Campaigns, the horses often went without water for up to three days, carrying over 120 kilograms comprising rider, saddle, gear and provisions.

At wars end 13,000 Australian horses remained but due to cost concerns and quarantine restrictions they could not be returned home.

The horses were either sold for use by the British Army in India or put down.

This caused much sadness amongst the ranks of the mounted horsemen who in many cases had surrendered their own horses to the Imperial Army for service, travelled with them across the sea, ridden them through the desert, succeeded in battle - only to then lose their dear companion at wars end.

Middleweight Title which he now holds.

Jason said his fight on Saturday night means he will be a step closer to an Australian Title.

“The fight on Saturday night means a lot to me, as do all fights, as by winning it gets me closer to competing for the Australian title,” he said.

“Also having the opportunity to be fighting back home where it all began for me is extremely special.”

Jason also shared some of his passion for boxing, which he said can develop you as a person.

“I have learnt a lot from boxing, however the biggest lessons I have learned have all involved aspects outside the ring,” he said.

“It develops you as a person in regards to being respectful and polite, not to be a bully or a thug.

“In all the gyms I have trained, they have allen-forced those rules and I guess that’s what keeps me going back.

“I would encourage others, especially parents with their children, to go to a local gym and have a look at what goes on in the gym.

“It is a great place to get fit, build up self-confidence and instil discipline, whilst enjoying yourself.

FOLLOWING THE success of the War On The Coast boxing tournament at the Cudgen Leagues Club earlier this year, the bouts are back for another round with War On The Coast 2 taking place on Saturday, April 22.

The venue is again set for the Cudgen Leagues Club with 11 fights scheduled including the return of Murwillumbah local Jason Leuken and four professional fights.

Kingscliff Boxing Stables trainer Nick Midgley said the event was “not to be missed” with the main event fight between rising star Josh Frederiksen of Kingscliff again Timani Taupa from Logan.

The Weekly caught up with Jason (pictured below) to ask him a few questions about his return to the Tweed and recently rediscovered passion for boxing.

Jason said he grew up in Murwillumbah, playing rugby league for the Murwillumbah Colts and started amateur boxing where he fought for the Murwillumbah Boxing Club, which Stuart Stone was his trainer/mentor.

“I left Murwillumbah and moved to Sydney for work, where I awaited my enlistment date to the Army in June 2004,” he said.

“From there I moved to Darwin where I spent eight-and-a-half years, meeting my wife and growing our family with three beautiful kids.

“In 2013, we relocated to Brisbane and in 2014 I recommenced boxing, where I turned professional and since then have had four professional fights for four wins.”

This years’ event will feature a large scale sand, soil and ochre art installation that the whole community will have the opportunity to take part in on the day.

Jarulah Slabb is working on the Festival planning committee at Murwillumbah Community Centre and said “I think The Kinship Festival is a good thing for the community, it gives us the chance to come together. There’s not very many times a year when everyone has the opportunity to come together and celebrate our strengths and values as a community.”

Paula LaBelle from The Family Centre said the festival offers the community the opportunity to celebrate.

“As a participant in The Kinship festival last year I witnessed the Aboriginal community gift this beautiful day of celebration and connection to all families and community members,” she said “The Welcome to Country and Smoking ceremony were gratefully received by the community as an invitation to combine our common purpose in supporting children and families through the medium of Aboriginal dance culture and art and craft, sharing food and stories and education to support happy healthy families and children.

“The performances were magic and Knox park was alive and buzzing with activity, culture, dance performances, delicious food, chai and a literal smorgasbord of children’s activities.

“This year in particular we are looking forward to the Kinship Festival again as a way of symbolising the strength,

beauty and purpose in moving forward and supporting our community to flourish” This year the festival will represent Indigenous culture through traditional dance, song, language and weaving as well as a performance from different dance groups from across the Bundjalung nations to dance at the festival to emphasize the cultural exchange and ceremony. An Elders Sharing Wisdom Workshop will be a space where elders can share values, stories and wisdom and encouraging all families to attend. A traditional bush tucker lunch will be provided to all people who will come and enjoy the festival.

Aunty Lorraine Parsons, a member of the Kinship Festival Coodination committee has been a part of the Kinship Festival for the last three years and feels “it’s a very spiritual, uplifting time and she enjoys coming to the festival because it provides a place for our mob to come together and share our culture with each other and the wider community.”

THE GOLD COAST Chamber Orchestra will be returning to Murwillumbah with a delightful concert, “String Serenade”, on Sunday, April 23 from 2.30pm at All Saints Anglican Church, 32 Byangum Road, Murwillumbah.

This will be the second performance of a well-received program first presented on the Gold Coast in October last year.

The orchestra has over twenty talented string players spanning from northern New South Wales and the Gold Coast to Brisbane and the concert will be conducted by well-known Gold Coast cellist, Camillio Manricks.

Opening with the ever popular Holberg Suite by Grieg, the concert also features players Nigel Bardsley and Iris Doo in the “Suite for Violin, Viola and String Orchestra” by Kurt Atterberg. Brisbane based Australian composer, Betty Beath’s moving “Adagio for Strings Lament for Kosovo” is strongly contrasted with the driving rhythms of Bartok’s “Romanian Folk Dances”.

For tickets to the concert, go to the website, www.gcco.com.au which will link you to Trybooking. Alternatively, tickets are available from Murwillumbah Music, phone 02 6672 5404 for a credit card facility.

Adults are $25, concessions $22 and students under 18 years will be admitted free.

Complimentary wine and cheese will be served at interval. It promises to be a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Tweed Police host fundraising screening of The Boss Baby

FILMS ABOUT OUR FRAGILE ENVIRONMENT

77067

People passionate about the environment and a natural way of life – of which there are many in our community - will appreciate two documentaries coming to town.

A PLASTIC OCEAN follows a team of scientists and researchers who, after discovering plastic waste in what should be pristine ocean, travelled around the world to explore the fragile state of our oceans, uncover alarming truths about plastic pollution, and reveal working solutions that can be put into immediate effect.

“The most important film of our time” - David Attenborough. After the screening on 29th April there will be a discussion led by Tarra Martel, Environmental Education Officer, Tweed Shire Council; Jeanie McKillop, Coordinator North East Waste and Tania Potts, Co-founder Boomerang Bags.

SEED: THE UNTOLD STORY follows seed keepers trying to protect the food legacy that humanity has built in 12,000 years. Plant seeds are rapidly disappearing; in the 20th century alone 94% of seeds varieties have been lost to chemical companies and modified genetic crops. The film introduces us to the people and institutions fighting a David and Goliath battle to save that little remaining 6%.

Not only scientists and institutional players like the Norway’s famous frozen “Garden of Eden” or “Noah’s Ark” of plant life - a bunker filled with backup copies of more than 850,000 crop types – but also individuals doing their bit: like Emigdio Ballon who in New Mexico is building a collection of exotic seeds in a U-Haul-sized trailer.

Vandana Shiva from India reports on her efforts to save the seeds of unmodified crops; comparing her group’s efforts to Gandhi’s homespun-cloth campaign, and clearly speaking for many in the film, she says, “the seed will be the spinning wheel of our times.”

TWEED POLICE are holding a special fundraising screening of family comedy The Boss Baby at Hoyts Tweed City on Sunday, April 23 to raise funds for Tweed residents affected by the floods.

All funds raised from the screening along with an auction will be shared between the Mayor's Flood Appeal and, Matthew Kabealo and eight-year-old daughter Chloe-May, the husband and only surviving child of Stephanie King who tragically died after her vehicle crashed into the Tweed River earlier this month along with her two children; 11-year-old Ella-Jane Kabealo and seven-year-old Jacob Kabealo.

Tweed Police were deeply affected by the tragedy that came at an already sensitive time as the community recovered from extensive flooding and the news of lives lost.

The Boss Baby by DreamWorks Animation and the director of Madagascar is an animated family comedy about how a new baby's arrival impacts a family told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative seven-year-old named Tim. With a sly, heart-filled message about the importance of family, the Boss Baby is an authentic and broadly appealing original comedy for all ages.

Following the movie Tweed Police will hold an auction for items donated by the local community, local businesses, NRL football clubs, AFL football clubs and more.

Tweed Police Inspector Brendon Cullen is urging the community to get behind the fundraising effort.

“Let’s come together as a community and do all we can to help this family who have suffered a devastating loss,” he said.

Auction Items Include: 1. Brisbane Lions AFL team, 2016 signed jersey.

2. Brisbane Lions AFL team, official Sherrin AFL football signed by 2016 team.

3. Gold Coast Suns AFL team, signed jersey.

4. Brisbane Broncos NRL team, 2017 signed jersey.

5. Gold Coast Titans NRL team, 2017 signed jersey.

6. Canberra Raiders NRL team, signed jersey.

7. Five x $100 gift vouchers for Tweed City 8. Gift voucher for Seagulls Club and Restaurants.

9. Gift voucher for Twin Towns Club and Restaurants.

10. Gift voucher for Tweed Heads Bowls Club DATE: Sunday, April 23, 9.30am for a 10am screening.

TICKETS: $24 plus booking fee. Tickets must be purchased online. No tickets will be available at the door. To purchase tickets go to: https://www.stickytickets.com.au/51766.

DONATE to the Kabealo family: https://www.gofundme. com/7wv823-cmaa-help-one-of-our-own.

Thursday April 20 - 2017

26 Local News Thursday April 20 - 2017 THE EASTER BUNNY has been and gone and although I missed the Thursday night game, three games on Good Friday was awesome.

The Broncos did everything they could to lose to the Titans but snuck home with a hard fought victory on the back of Jimmy the Jet’s hat trick. Matt Gillett is probably the form forward if not player in the NRL at the moment.

I love him, he would dead set put his head where you wouldn’t put your boot – great player. The Dragons continued on their winning ways and look a team choc full of confidence at the moment. The surprise performance was probably Penrith’s disappointing effort and start to the season full stop.

2/7 and not going well for a team tipped to be fighting it out in 2017.

Cronulla have had two strong victories

Footy Tipping Gurus POINTS LADDER

see Tweed Heads break the duck after starting the season with six losses.

The NRRRL gets going again this weekend and the Mustangs will head to Mullumbimby for an emotional day to battle for the Grant Cook Cup. Grant tragically passed away last year playing for Murwillumbah in the semi-final against Casino and was a loyal servant, player and mate for many at both clubs. Mullumbimby play their first home game since 2015 at Les Donnelly oval after sitting out last year and the Mustangs have their first hit out since the emotion driven GF at Cudgen last year where ‘Cooky’ helped the Stangs claim the premiership. Should be a great day’s footy to honour a great man and family.

See you at the footy Quinny

and Wade Graham has played his way into a blues jersey for sure. It will be a formidable Blue pack that’s for sure.

The whole ‘big 4’ sage continued with the Tigers on the weekend and it was kind of ironic Moses threw the dud pass that saw Parramatta clinch a late victory.

Anzac weekend this weekend will see a few games held over until April 25 with the traditional Roosters v Dragons (should be an absolute beauty this one) and Storm v Warriors match. It’s a wonderful tradition as is ANZAC day in itself and I hope everyone either marches or attends a ceremony to pay our respects to those who sacrificied and continue to do so for our great country.

Was great to see Burleigh get back to back wins on the weekend in the Intrust Super Cup and also great to

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Siltation had negligible effect during floods, says council Something for the kids

TWEED SHIRE Council has refuted claims that the Tweed and Rous Rivers overflowed due to an excessive amount of silting on the river bed, as claimed by several long-term locals who believe dredging may have prevented such historic flood levels.

The Weekly put several questions to council staff including addressing local concerns regarding siltation and investigations around silt levels.

Council acknowledged that land use practices since European settlement, such as farming, land clearing and removal of riverside vegetation “have all contributed to increased siltation in our river systems”.

“Many rivers areas were previously dredged to allow for river transport, as recalled by long term Tweed residents,” a council spokesperson said.

“Siltation may impact on the capacity of local drainage systems, but has minimal impact during flood events, as the river channel only makes up a small percentage of the floodplain’s capacity to convey and store water, which in this event was several metres deep across vast areas.

“Current dredging activities are centred around maintaining navigable channels in the lower Tweed, and to access commercial sand resources.

“It is not a practical flood mitigation option, given the cost and limited benefits.”

Murwillumbah local Neville Thompson wrote to The Weekly recently to stress his concerns including a call for dredging at the Tweed Bar. “Last year I spoke with Mayor Katie Milne on the phone and I told her that the Northern sea wall of the Tweed Bar

needs to be lowered for about 100-metres to the high tide mark so that king tides and floodwaters can escape North,” he said.

“This is because when the outgoing water meets the incoming easterly tide it whirlpools at about the location of the Coast Guard building nearby, forcing water back upstream all the way to Murwillumbah in the six-hour tide cycle and dumping huge amounts of sand on the western shore of the spit that causes navigation problems.”

“The reason the flood wall was built to protect Murwillumbah was because the Shire engineer thought it would be cheaper than dredging the silted-up Tweed River and that is why the river bottlenecks at the bridge going into town.”

Mr Thompson’s concerns were also mirrored by several local cane farmers, who also approached The Weekly wanting to highlight siltation as a contributing factor.

However, Council has responded by saying it does not believe “silting would have had negligible effect, due to the magnitude of this flood event”.

Council also addressed questions around flood mitigation plans including works and investigation around siltation.

“Council maintains a series of floodgates across the floodplain, to protect low lying land from river inundation during high tides and flood events,” council’s spokesperson said.

“These floodgates are inspected to ensure siltation and other debris does not hinder their operation.

“If that is the case, council intervenes and carries out localised dredging or mechanical silt removal.”

IF THE chocolate buzz has died down and the kids need something new to distract them, check out these great workshops at the Tweed Regional Gallery, Murwillumbah.

On Thursday, April 20, join in a space themed LEGO®workshop with BRICKS 4 KIDZ® Currumbin.

Inspired by NASA and Star Wars™ the workshop uses LEGO bricks and models to teach about real-life space exploration.

Children will build models related to the NASA space program LEGO Star Wars themed models. Kids can come for a half day, 9am-12pm or 12.30pm-3.30pm, for $45 or the full day, 9.00am-3.30pm for $79.

Children attending for the full day take home a B4K pencil case or high bounce ball. For further information and bookings visit the website www.bricks4kidz.com.au/ currumbin School Holiday Programs.

On Friday 21 April children aged 9 to 12 years can join artist, Sharon Muir, to explore “Fantastical” Bugs. Using opaque watercolour (gouache), participants will create their own fantasy bugs inspired by the natural world.

The class will experiment with different ways of applying the paint to the paper and learn a variety of interesting techniques to mimic the markings and textures of bugs. Choose from a morning or afternoon class for $34 per class (or only $29 per child if booking two or more children).

Class times are 9.30am-12.30pm or 1.30-4.30pm.

If you are visiting the Gallery, check out the free drop in activities for families in the foyer and in the Margaret Olley Art Centre. Take inspiration from Slipstitch, an exhibition of contemporary embroidery, and use your pencil as a thread to draw stitches to make a picture that looks like sewing.

Copy the fancy stitches or create your own design. Draw your favourite artwork in a gilded frame or pick up a copy of the MOAC Kid’s Guide and learn about Margaret Olley while completing the suggested activities.

Down in the Margaret Olley Art Centre, listen to a symphony on headphones while you create a digital artwork on the iPads.

MURWILLUMBAH CAR & TRUCK ELECTRICS WE ARE OPEN

Specialising in Flood Damage

Car Electrical Repairs, Alternators, Starters, Batteries & More Entertainment line up confirmed 6 Quarry Road, Murwillumbah

CALTEX IS marketing an 85 per cent blend of ethanol with petrol called E-Flex.

This fuel should only be used in vehicles designed for it. Using it in a vehicle not designed for it will result in the vehicle either not starting at all or running very roughly, and it is possible some fuel system components could be damaged by high ethanol levels.

Current Holden Commodore models are suitable for E85 in both V6 and V8 variants which have been designed to accept the fuel, and Saab BioPower models can also use E85.

73839

for Wintersun 2.0 in June Joan & Dave Evans 02 6672 2528

Currently the nozzle dispensing E85 has a cover with a warning on it that has to be raised to take out the handpiece. It is possible that some pumps in future will have a lock that has to be depressed to remove the nozzle, similar to some diesel pumps now.

Due to the lower energy content of ethanol, fuel consumption on E85 is significantly higher than on straight petrol or E10.

So this must be taken into account when purchasing the E85, which is currently $1.40 a litre, around 15 cents per litre less than unleaded petrol. As vehicles will use around 35% more E85 than ULP it is currently not economically advantageous to use E85.

WINTERSUN 2.0 organisers have confirmed the event will go ahead from June 2 to 4 after rumours began to surface that the event could be delayed.

Wintersun 2.0 is more than just a show ‘n shine event it’s also an enjoyable family friendly event with plenty of activities, live music and more.

Included will be the opportunity for entrants to drive/ride and enjoy there vehicles during the event, pin-ups and vintage clothing competition, art and Kulture display, trade stands and some great food.

Event organiser Steve Bowman said the name harks back to the old Wintersun festival in Coolangatta which had a great friendly and laid back atmosphere.

“There will be many differences between the old event and Wintersun 2.0 but that atmosphere is something we will strive to create,” he said.

“This 2017 event is a proof of concept. As we move through the next few years we hope (with Council cooperation) to involve more of the Murwillumbah and surrounding community in a wide variety of new events but all within the same theme.

“The tweed is a beautiful area and everyone we’ve dealt with has been friendly and very

supportive. I can see a long and prosperous future for the event and the area.”

Entertainment line up is now confirmed and locked in.

Kings of the Sun, The Strays, West Texas Crude, Colt Seavers Band, Cherry Devine, The Haymakers, Little Billy, A Band Called Twang, Blue Suede More on days and times as we get a little closer to the event but rest assured it’s going to be a blast!

Jaguar takes two gongs at World Car of the Year Awards THE JAGUAR F-PACE has been named the 2017 World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year at the World Car of the Year Awards during the New York International Auto Show on April 12.

The World Car Awards are now in their 13th year and is the number one car awards for the fourth consecutive year.

The Jaguar F-PACE was chosen from an initial entry list of 23 vehicles from all over the world with three finalists as announced in Geneva last month; the Audi Q5, the Jaguar F-PACE and the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Dr Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover said the F-PACE was designed and engineered as a performance SUV with “exceptional dynamics, everyday usability and bold design”.

“Winning these two awards endorses the talent and great work of our teams that have delivered the world’s most practical sports car and Jaguar’s fastest selling vehicle,” he said.

Previous World Car of the Year winners were the Mazda

MX‐5 (2016), Mercedes‐Benz C‐Class (2015), the Audi A3 (2014), the Volkswagen Golf (2013), the Volkswagen Up! (2012), the Nissan Leaf (2011), the Volkswagen Polo (2010, the Volkswagen Golf (2009), the Mazda2 / Mazda Demio (2008), the Lexus LS460 (2007), the BMW 3‐Series (2006), and the Audi A6 (2005).

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class took out the 2017 World Luxury Car Award. This is the third World Luxury Car win for Mercedes-Benz with two back‐ to‐back titles in 2015 (Mercedes‐Benz S-Coupe) and 2014 (Mercedes-Benz S‐ Class).

Mercedes-Benz made history in 2015 with a triple win in three out of five categories; World Car of the Year (C-Class), World Luxury Car (S-Coupe) and the World Performance Car (AMG GT).

The luxury car winner was chosen from an initial entry list of nine prestigious cars from all over the world, then a short list of three finalists as announced in Geneva last month: the BMW 5 Series, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and the Volvo S90 / V90.

The Porsche Boxster Cayman took out World Performance Car award for the fifth time.

“We are honored that the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman were selected as World Performance Car by such an esteemed, global jury,” said Klaus Zellmer, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America.

“With its striking appearance and superb performance and handling, the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman follow in the footsteps of our legendary 718 mid‐engine race cars.”

The company previously won in 2014 (Porsche 911 GT3), 2013 (Porsche Boxster/Cayman), 2012 (Porsche 911) and 2006 (Porsche Cayman S).

The World Green Car went to Toyota with their Prius Prime, and who also won the award last year with the Mirai.

The BMW i3 won the inaugural World Urban Car award for their first all-electric vehicle.

“We are delighted and honoured that the BMW i3 has been

AUTOMOTIVE SUSPENSION & EXHAUST

recognized as the World Urban Car,” said Ludwig Willisch, Head of BMW Group Region Americas.

“This award highlights BMW Group’s commitment to sustainable mobility through BMW’s first all‐electric vehicle made primarily of carbon fibre.

“The design brief for the BMW i3 was to create a Mega City Vehicle for the cities of the future. Today, the new 2017 BMW i3 (94 Ah) provides more range paired with a high‐ level of dynamic performance, making it the perfect urban vehicle for people around the world.”

To be eligible for the overall World Car award, the candidates must become available for sale on at least two continents during the period beginning January 1, 2016 and ending May 31, 2017.

This year, vehicles were selected and voted on by an international jury panel comprised of 75 top‐level automotive journalists from 23 countries around the world.

Each juror was appointed by the World Car Steering Committee on the basis of his or her expertise, experience, credibility, and influence. Each juror typically drives and evaluates new vehicles on a regular basis as part of their professional work.

Councillors to talk voluntary resumptions at Local Government Assembly TWEED SHIRE Councillors will meet tonight (Thursday), April 20, to discuss several local issues including the flood resumptions, the Northern Rivers Rail Trail as well as a couple of recession motions.

Firstly, Councillors will discuss The Australian Local Government Association General Assembly to be held in Canberra from June 18 to 21.

Mayor Katie Milne, Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry, Councillor James Owen and Councillor Warren Polglase have been confirmed as attending.

The theme of this year’s General Assembly is ‘Building Tomorrow’s Communities’ and council has been invited to submit motions that accord with this theme by April 21.

Among the Council’s proposed motion is a call on both State and Federal Governments to develop measures or increase recurrent annual funding to either “provide a relocation assistance package or acquire through a voluntary purchase scheme; for residential, commercial or industrial land identified in local Council flood studies as high impact flood prone land”.

“Or provide an impediment to the flood plain to increase flood resilience and lessen the social, environmental and economic impacts of recurring natural disasters,” the motion reads.

Several South Murwillumbah residents have already expressed the desire to move, although numbers are as yet unknown and Mayor Milne had mentioned a move towards voluntary resumptions.

“With the buy-back of properties and the purchase of or construction of new properties in a flood-free area of the local community, this would ensure that the population and workforce remain in the local area,” Council’s motion reads.

“If the properties were purchased under such a scheme, the areas of flooding would become flood- ways and reduce the threat of properties being inundated.

“The State Government’s would also benefit from such a scheme through the collection of Stamp Duty on purchases, unless the State Government’s chose to waive those charges in this instance.

“This proposal has the propensity to make local communities stronger and more resilient through the financial support of the Federal and State Governments.”

Councillors will also discuss landscaping at the Northbound Chinderah Services Centre, after a vote was carried on March 16 to investigate enhancing the roundabout and entry approach to Tweed Valley Way.

Several residents have complained to Council that the roundabout is adequately presented, however Council states that the service centre develop has “met all of their obligations for landscaping as required by the Development Consent with the exception of clarification of Lilli Pilli species being free from Myrtle Rust and the minimum percentage of locally occurring native species”.

Council notes said the cost to undertake additional landscaping would be in the order of $20,000 to $100,000 “depending of the level of embellishment including the cost of preparing a landscape plan and community consultation”.

The recommendation said Council should instruct officers to monitor the progress of growth of the landscaping work and determine at a future date to assess the landscaping or alternative Councillors can vote to proceed with concept designs.

The Northern Rivers Rail Trail is once again back on the agenda and this time Mayor Milne has an idea to preserve the rail line and implement an active community walking trail from Murwillumbah to Casino (or part thereof).

The recommendation comes as Council received a letter from Byron Shire Council advising of their decision to support dual use (multi-modal) of the rail corridor for public transport and walking and cycling and support for undertaking an extensive feasibility review of this proposal.

Mayor Milne’s plan, if successful, would mean the rail line and rail trail would run adjacent to each other therefore preserving the highly debated rail line infrastructure.

“Tweed Shire Council has previously endorsed the proposal for the corridor to be used as a walking and cycling Rail Trail and has recently submitted an application under the Federal Building Better Regions Fund for the remaining matching funding to complete the $13 million project,” the motion reads.

“The proposal to include multi modal use of this corridor is problematic and has the potential to compromise the Tweed Valley Rail Trail proposal and ultimately the entire Trail from Murwillumbah to Casino.”

The two options before council including that Council writes to Byron Shire Council advising of Council’s recent submission to the Building Better Regions Fund for a Rail Trail from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek and as such is not in a position to join with them.

Or two, that Council joins with Byron Shire Council in their support of a comprehensive review of the rail corridor for multi-modal use. However, in its conclusions Council

stated that the Building Better Regions funding application has been submitted by Council and is currently under review by the relevant government department.

“Any support of an alternative to the Rail Trail from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek using the existing formation and rail corridor has the potential to compromise Council’s funding submission to the Federal Government,” it reads.

Several rescission motions are proposed this month including one from Cr Owen, Cr Polglase and Cr Allsop to reverse the Kingscliff Locality Plan, which was implemented

by Cr Ron Cooper.

“We (Councillors) hereby give notice that at the next Ordinary Council meeting of Council we will move that the resolution from the meeting held on Thursday, March 16, titled Kingscliff Locality Plan Community Consultation, being adjustments: A. The Marine Parade Town Centre Precinct be limited to a building height of 11.0 metres.

B. All other areas of medium density residential zones be limited to a building height of 12.2 metres.

C. All mixed use and business zones be limited to a building height of 13.6 metres.

D. The Kingscliff hill area, bounded by Moss Street/ Sutherland Street and Boomerang Street/Cudgen Road be limited to a building height of 9.0 metres.

E. This revised draft plan be brought to Council prior to public exhibition.

F. As a consequence of the previous consultation that demonstrated support for more casual open green space, a report be bought back on the potential to facilitate this by providing for an equitable distribution between casual open green space and structured open space,” be rescinded.

The motion will be discussed at the May Ordinary Meeting.

Cr Allsop, Cr Owen and Cr Polglase will also move a rescission motion to reverse an “Independent Review of Tweed’s District Water Supply and Demand Management Reports 2010”.

Cr Ron Cooper will also move a motion this week calling for the preservation of Kingscliff’s Norfolk Pines, following the recent felling of several of the non-native pines.

Cr Cooper will also call for heritage listing of the pines, which Council management said could cost up to $20,000.

Meeting is taking place at Murwillumbah Council Chambers from 5.30pm.

All the freshwater flowing down the river has made fishing hard but it is now much clearer.

Good sized Jewfish are being weighed in – the largest so far for April being 20kg. The southern beaches have been good, mainly at night time.

Jewfish are also being caught near the mouth of the Tweed and there have been plenty of Bream too, with Tailor being caught off the northern breakwalls.

Flathead are abundant in the Terranora mainly being caught on small diving lures. Larger Flathead can be caught by casting lures up into shallow water and slowly twitching them back towards you.

Offshore the waters are gradually turning blue again.

Some good bait fish balls have been spotted off Point Reef.

Yellowfin, Wahoo and Cobia have been sighted and some are being landed.

Some great specials on the latest Series 2 Veritas combos still a few left - at Tweed Tackle & Marine – won’t last long!

-Waking a sleepwalker won’t cause them any physical harm but could leave them startled or disoriented which is why many people believe it is best not to disturb them.

-Albert Einstein didn’t fail maths at school but he did fail an entry exam to a school. In fact, he actually excelled at mathematics throughout his schooling and even considered becoming a mathematician for a time.

-Salty water doesn’t boil quicker than unsalted. Salt water requires more exposure to the heat in order to boil than plain water, so the boiling point is elevated and the time it takes to get the water to boil increases.

Featured Business

I (Russell) have been in the paving business for just over 25 years.

Enjoying it so much, and knowing this will be my career path for many many years to come, I decided to establish my own business in country Victoria 15 years ago.

Whilst doing just before some irrigation work in between, which I incorporated into my business at the time.

Then deciding to move along with my wife, son and two daughters further north of Victoria and New South Wales border, where my business thrived for over 5 years. But looking for a sea change, I moved with my family to the beautiful Tweed valley over 5 years ago and where my parents have lived for over 30 years.

At first I changed careers and did some tiling and labouring work for a time, but my passion still remained for paving.

Recently I started up my own business calling it ‘Border Brick Paving’ and yes enjoying it immensely.

My first aim is to provide good customer service and engage in constructive discussion to achieve the most satisfactory outcome and for my customers to receive the best quality of work that they deserve.

The best aspect about paving to me is seeing the finished product, which then gives me a sense of fulfilment and achievement.

You will find my ad under paving as Border Brick Paving with all my details.

Thank you for reading my story, Russell

POLICE BEAT Man dies at scene of Duranbah Road crash A REPORT will be prepared for the Coroner after a fatal single-vehicle crash at Duranbah on Monday, April 17.

The single-vehicle crash happened on Duranbah Road,around 7.30pm.

The sole occupant of the vehicle, a 51-year-old man died at the scene.

Officers from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command will investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

parked nearby as he was clearly intoxicated. About 4.50am police allegedly saw the man driving the car in Moss Street, Kingscliff,” police said.

The man was stopped for a breath test which not only proved positive but was more than three times the legal limit at 0.166 .

“The man was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station. The man underwent a breath analysis which returned a positive reading of 0.166,” police said.

“The man’s license was suspended and he was charged with HRPCA and bailed to appear before the Tweed Heads Local Court May 1.”

Three rescued after boat capsizes on Tweed Bar Teens spraying graffiti on overpass get busted with THREE PEOPLE have been rescued from a boat weed TWEED POLICE said they spotted the two teens with flashlights at the M1/Clothiers Creek Road overpass at about 8.45pm on Friday, April 14.

But when spotted by police the two youths made a run for it, splitting up, with one teen running across a paddock.

One of the teens, a 14-year-old from Palmvale, was caught by a police officer following a brief foot chase.

The teen was later found to have in his possession seven cans of spray paint and 18-grams of cannabis.

“The second youth was chased across a paddock and arrested by police. This youth, a 16-year-old male was also from Palmvale,” police said.

“Both youths were charged with intentionally mark property without consent, person under 18 in possession of spray paint can(s) and possessing a prohibited drug.”

They were both bailed to appear before Tweed Heads Children’s Court on May 26.

Drunk man busted after he was told “don’t drive” A 21-YEAR-OLD man from Cudgera Creek was described as “clearly intoxicated” at Moss Street, Kingscliff at 4.50am on Sunday, April 9, when he decided to drive.

Despite being told and warned not to drive the man was later spotted behind the wheel by Tweed Police and pulled over.

“He was warned not to drive (4.20am) his car which was

that capsized when attempting to cross the Tweed Bar under powerful swell conditions on, Monday, April 17.

Footage from the incident shows three occupants jumping overboard just before the boat overturns and is pounded by large waves.

A yacht attempted to come to the rescue but is also knocked around by the powerful swell and narrowly avoids capsizing.

Marine Rescue NSW Point Danger said the three boaters were wearing life jackets and escaped with no injuries.

Tweed and Gold Coast Life Savers also assisted with the rescue operation.

According to Marine Rescue NSW Point Danger there have been three incidents in total on the Tweed Bar this weekend with another boat capsizing hours later.

Police busy with mad drivers and a stolen Audi CRAZY DRIVERS and a stolen Audi kept Tweed Police busy during the Easter period with several dangerous pursuits taking place and a phone app that helped save the day.

Police said in a media statement that one of the pursuits involved a “suspicious looking orange Holden Commodore”.

“It was about 11.49am on Monday, April 11, when police noticed an orange coloured Holden Commodore acting suspiciously in Minjumbal Drive, Tweed Heads,” the police statement reads.

“Police attempted to pull the vehicle over when it sped off

along Darlington Drive, Banora Point.

“The vehicle reached speeds of 80km in a 50km zone and turned into Clonakilty St at speed causing the rear wheels to slide and coming to a stop on the incorrect side of the roadway.”

But it didn’t stop there for the passenger who made a run for it.

“One passenger ran from Police and was unable to be located,” the statement reads.

“Police spoke with the driver of the vehicle.”

They said the man, aged in his early 40s, was arrested and charged with driving whilst unlicensed and driving in a dangerous manner including police pursuit.

He was refused bail and appeared before Tweed Heads Local Court. Police said he was also granted conditional bail and will next appear at Tweed Heads Local Court on May 22.

Meanwhile, another motorist has used a phone app to track and locate a stolen Audi from Lennox Head on Sunday, April 16.

Police said it was about 2.15pm when a white Audi stationwagon was stolen from the Lookout at Lennox Head.

“The owner of the vehicle was able to track the progress of the vehicle using an app. on his mobile telephone,” police said.

“He reported this to police. It was 4.10pm when the vehicle was sighted by police travelling North on the Pacific Motorway at Chinderah.

“Authorisation was given to deploy road spikes and these were set up on the Northern end of the Tugun tunnel.

“A pursuit was then initiated and the stolen vehicle continued to travel North. Road spikes were successfully deployed at Tugun.”

Police said the vehicle continued across the border into Qld, when Tweed Police called off the pursuit.

“Due to the deteriorating tyres the stolen vehicle was seen to come to a standstill about 200 metres into Qld and a female exited the car stood on the motorway,” police said.

“She was arrested by Tweed/Byron Local Area Command Police and detained until the arrival of Qld Police.”

Police said the 30-year-old female was from Pimpama near Brisbane and was conveyed to the Southport Watch House where she will appear before Court on April 17. Her charges were listed as being in possession of stolen goods and “inquiries in relation to NSW offences are continuing”.

Opposition leader visits Murwillumbah

OPPOSITION LEADER Bill Shorten described

Murwillumbah as a “little patch of paradise” that’s in urgent need of help during his tour of the region on Thursday, April 13.

Mr Shorten joined Member for Richmond Justine Elliott (pictured below) on a visit to the Murwillumbah Services Club as well as taking a walk across the Murwillumbah bridge to visit South Murwillumbah businesses..

“I want to congratulate Justine (MP) and the community for pushing has finally got the Turnbull Government to unlock some scarce but badly needed funds for businesses to get back on their feet,” he said.

“It is an eye opener coming to Murwillumbah, most Australians know it as a little patch of paradise, but they’ve certainly had their fair share of trouble with the terrible floods.

“What we see today is an urgent need for State Government to give the businesses who are affected a payroll tax moratorium for a number of months.

“I think we need to see a jobs package, and I’m going to write to Prime Minister Turnbull in coming days, to make sure that we don’t lose the industry and the jobs which have been so hard hit.

“I think it is also important – there is a very unseemly,

ugly, stomach turning debate, where you see Barnaby Joyce arguing with State Governments about who is doing what paperwork to help the money flowing, to help victims of the flood damage.

“Enough talk, enough red tape, enough political point scoring. Let’s just unlock these modest grants, which provide farmers and small business with some desperately needed cash flow.”

“Also, I think what I have seen in Murwillumbah, it’s a reminder that we do have people affected by floods who live on the margins of our society – people who are homeless, with insecure housing. I think there is a challenge around social housing.

Mr Shorten urged holiday makers not to cancel their holidays or bookings.

“People should come here. This town is on its feet and doing well, but there has been a major economic body punch to business,” he said.

“And we need to make sure that the insurers, and the Federal Government, and the State Government are doing what they can to help business.

“And of course, there has been a lot of very poor people, who when they get hit by floods, they lose literally everything, and they shouldn’t be forgotten as the flood waters recede.”

Council bags prestigious award for engagement TWEED SHIRE Council was recently recognised at the NSW Local Government Awards for its community engagement efforts on Thursday, April 6, in Sydney.

Tweed Shire Council was recognised for the success of its Community Engagement Network in “informing and being informed by the broad community in the Tweed Shire”.

Council received the highly valued Local Government Award for Excellence in Innovative Leadership and Management at the awards dinner held in Sydney.

The award highlighted Council’s program to have conversations with the Tweed community on council services, events, issues and projects.

The Local Government Awards Dinner is the pinnacle event on the Local Government Professionals Australia, NSW calendar and Deputy Premier John Barilaro MP delivered the keynote address at the event acknowledging the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by Tweed Shire Council year on year.

The community engagement strategy identifies methods of engagement Council uses for the key stages of engagement – inform, consult, involve, collaborate and empower.

The strategy also identifies the broad categories of Council projects which require engagement and provides an engagement matrix to align the methods of engagement with the category of Council projects.

Bowls Notes with Judy Tuckey CYCLONE DEBBIE has now been and gone but not before leaving behind a massive trail of destruction and heart break. Bowls clubs in the district luckily survived unscathed with the exception of Condong Bowling Club that unfortunately succumbed to the ravages of flood waters.

As record level flood waters surged through the tiny township of Condong, showing no mercy at all for human life and property, Condong B.C. was also on the receiving end of humungous destruction. Murky waters that rose above the top of the bar resulted in all furniture and stock being rendered non recoverable. However, members of Clubs N.S.W. were quick to respond in assisting their member club with clean up teams as well as donations of

furniture, carpets, electrical goods, etc.

In a very short time the club has been cleaned out. Refurbishing is now well in hand and, although not everything will be completed for some time, the club is looking forward to opening the doors again within the next week.

Out on the greens, Green Keeper Mick James and his assistant, Brad Archer, have had their work cut out for them. Removing the mud and silt off the greens was their first priority and now, with a great deal of hard work and a generous dose of T.L.C., the greens are responding quickly and looking totally refreshed and healthy.

Well done, guys.

Club Manager, Kerry Campbell, has been overwhelmed with the support from all organisations and folk who came to the rescue in their time of need

and wishes to express a very big thank you to one and all. Their wonderful help has ensured that the Club will be returning to normality sooner than expected, much to the delight of the local residents who are looking forward to getting back to their club for some hard earned R & R. With District events scheduled at the club in danger of being cancelled, Condong W.B.C. is pleased to announce that the District Women’s Novice Singles Championships will go ahead, as originally scheduled, with games commencing on Wednesday 26 April.

Condong W.B.C. President Jenny would like to thank the District club delegates who, at their recent meeting, took the hat around and presented her with a tidy little sum to go towards replacing amenities in the ladies cloak room.

Well done Condong Bowling Club.

A brilliant result for a grand little club.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Kingscliff tennis courts light up KINGSCLIFF TENNIS Club is pleased to announce the installation of new flood lighting at its Viking Street courts in Kingscliff, to give players the option of night games.

With the addition of the new lighting to recently resurfaced courts, the facilities available are now vastly improved for all players.

Club spokesperson Shannyn Ricketts said she wanted to encourage the community to enjoy the facilities and get active.

“We invite all players to come along and take advantage of the new facilities on a casual or regular basis,” she said.

“Come along on a Tuesday night from 5.30pm for a social game or every Wednesday night from 5.45pm for a social

doubles competition. Other day time social events are also available.”

Mrs Ricketts said the club offers yearly memberships for juniors ($40), singles ($80), couples ($130) and also families ($160), with free participation in the various mixed social play events and free day court hire.

A $5 surcharge per player will apply for night play.

“Whether you’re new to Tennis, wanting to improve your game or just have fun, Kingscliff Tennis club is the perfect venue for players of all standards and ages. Lessons & Clinics are also readily available for all age groups,” she said.

For any enquiries on casual court hire or to join in the social play please contact: Shannyn Ricketts on 0404 344 346 or email kingsclifftennisclub@outlook.com

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC – Keith Kennedy GOOD CROWD attendance at the beach over the Easter break with no major incidents with patrols taking a few preventative actions. Kingscliff has been patrolled daily during the N.S.W. holiday break. The patrol season for N.S.W. finishes on Tuesday 25th April, Anzac Day. A Bronze medallion training squad is being organised during the winter period, names and contest details can be listed on the top floor notice board. Six names listed to date.

Also during this period our “Coldies” wintersun group meet each Sunday morning at 10 am and swim around the buoy of their choice to a nominated time. The group was formed in 1980 and is affiliated with the Australian Winter Swim Assoc.

The A.G.M. for the Coldies is set down for 9.30 am on April 30th. Also on that date the Old Boys Association will hold their A.G.M at 11.30 am followed by a light luncheon.

An omission from our Australian Carnival results was that of our club President, Adam Mills who won the 50-54 yr. beach flags. Adam was our first Australian Gold medallist in 1981 when he won the cadet flags. In 1984 he won bronze in the junior event. His career then took him away and in the 90’s medalled in the open with North Cronulla. On returning to Cudgen in Masters competition in 2004 won the Australian and 2nd in the World Sprint.

Through the age group in flags he gained Silver in 2006, 2011, 2012, Bronze in 2013. In World Flags, silver in 2006 and 2014.

Congratulations to two of our younger members who are excelling at other sports. Tom Vickery has been selected in the N.S.W. Country -16 yr. Rugby League team and Anthea Warne selected in the Australian Canoeing Olympic hopes team for International competition in the Czechoslovakian Republic in September.

The club has received plastic beach matting, courtesy of a grant from the Northcott Foundation. It has been rolled out at a beach access north of the club as an aid for handicapped persons.

Tapped in to the waves with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece

KINGSCLIFF’S OWN World Champion Stephanie Gilmore is looking seriously at World Title number 7, after her second place at Bell’s Beach Rip Curl Pro. The ever determined Courtney Conologue who battled through her semi and quarter finals against Tyler Wright and Carissa Moore and showing a real never give up attitude, which she lifted to the next level in the final against Gilmore.

Conologue defended her title, now with two Bell’s wins in a row. She was pretty happy with her effort.

“Winning it last year felt so good, but to back it up is amazing,” said Conlogue. “I’m so speechless. The first two events of the Australian leg did not go that well for me, so I’m stoked to finish it off with a win. I have always loved coming to Bells. It’s an amazing arena with all of the fans down here. It’s a really tricky wave to master, so to have two wins here is really special.”

Gilmore’s form improved throughout the event, and with a good result in all 3 events of 2017, it looks like she could be eyeing off to equal Layne Beachley’s record of 7 World Titles. Also coming into the Final, Gilmore was looking to add a fourth Bell to her trophy cabinet to equal the great Lisa Andersen (USA) for Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach titles.

After a series of buzzer-beater heat wins throughout the Australian leg, Gilmore seemed to shift gears and stay more active in the Final, which gave her the upper-hand for its majority.

“This was an incredible event,” said Gilmore. “We’ve had some awesome waves over these past few days and it was a special Easter weekend to have everyone down here. To surf in front of this crowd is a really special experience. I always try my best, but it is a tough field to beat so I am happy to come away with a second and still hold onto that lead. I will hopefully hold onto it for as long as I can.”

Although Gilmore wasn’t able to get the win on her 11th time competing at this event, she heads to Brazil as the Jeep Frontrunner.

Bell’s to Wrap Up Today for Men As I write this column the Men’s competition ids back underway in solid waves and looking to wrap up today. It will be an interesting final day, and I will give you a wrap up on the chase for thje 2017 Men’s World Title next week.

Locals off to Sunshine Coast for Subway Series Tweed Heads surfer and Subway Junior Series leader Alyssa Lock will be looking for a good result to increase her lead with the second last event of the series this weekend

on the Sunshine Coast. Alyssa’s main rival will be Cabarita Boardriders surfer Sophia Fulton, who won the last event with Lock coming in second place. Event organisers will be looking to hold the event at Ann St Caloundra, a left hand reef which will suit Lock down to the ground.

The series wraps up on the Gold Coast on May 6/7 so both girls will be on their home court for the finally. I will be up on the Sunshine Coast commentating the event so will give you a full wrap up next week.
