January this year marked the busiest month on record for Gold Coast Airport (GCA), an increase of almost two per cent on the same month last year. International traffic increased 8.3 per cent while domestic travel was steady, up 0.5 per cent year-on-year. Queensland Airports Limited Chief Executive Officer Chris Mills said the January record came on the back of stellar passenger growth in 2016. “January is typically our seasonal peak month at GCA. We see a high volume of inbound and outbound travellers taking advantage of the New Year holiday period, postChristmas,” said Mr Mills. “We are particularly pleased with the international growth GCA recorded for January 2017, which increased 8.3 per cent compared to January 2016. This can be attributed to the commencement of international services with AirAsiaX to Auckland in March 2016, as well as increased capacity with Hong Kong Airlines to Hong Kong over the Chinese New Year period. “The 2017 record month comes on the back of an historic calendar year at GCA in 2016, in which a record 6.4 million passengers passed through the airport. 2016 also marked GCA’s fifth consecutive calendar year of growth. “Our consistent growth in passenger movements is reflective of the ongoing desirability of Gold Coast and Northern NSW as premier tourism destinations.”

GOLD COAST Airport is celebrating this month after announcing its biggest passenger month on record in January this year plus an all-clear from Airservices Australia around seafood testing in Cobaki Broadwater. Airservices released the results from its seafood sampling program conducted in the Cobaki Broadwater adjacent to the Gold Coast Airport on Tuesday, March 21. The results showed that in all seafood samples taken in late January 2017, concentrations of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were below the detection limit for PFAS, meaning they were not detected in fish. PFAS are chemicals used in firefighting, which act as an effective coat around a fire, however have been shown to have detrimental impact on the environment. “The testing was conducted by independent environmental consultant, GHD Pty Ltd in consultation with NSW Environment Protection Authority and Department of Primary Industries – Fisheries,” the report reads. Key conclusions from the GHD report included the risk to humans from consumption of fish, crustaceans and molluscs collected from Cobaki Broadwater is “negligible”. Generally, the concentrations of PFAS found in the samples for water, sediments and borewater were below the detection limit for PFAS, that is they were “not detected”. The work follows a preliminary site investigation conducted at Gold Coast Airport in July 2016, which showed low levels of PFOS and PFOA at the airport boundary in soil and groundwater samples, and no PFAS detected in surface water samples from the Cobaki Broadwater. Airservices conducted the seafood sampling program to better understand human consumption of fish caught in the Cobaki Broadwater as a potential PFAS exposure pathway. This work is part of the broader investigation into any impacts that can be attributed to the historical use of PFAScontaining firefighting foam. “The sampling which took several days, investigated sediment, surface water and seafood species within the Cobaki Broadwater area, adjacent to the airport. The sampling included five sediment samples, five surface water samples and collection of seafood species for testing,” the report reads. “Airservices has shared the results with the relevant Commonwealth and State environmental and health regulators and Gold Coast Airport Pty Ltd as part of our ongoing work with these stakeholders in taking a risk-based approach to responsibly managing PFAS concerns at the Gold Coast Airport. “Airservices is committed to ensuring the safety of human health. While recent testing results on the airport boundary detected low levels of PFAS, Airservices is commissioning a sampling program on the north-eastern side of the airport to test local spear bores off airport and testing along the Coolangatta Creek.” The report said that Airservices had recognised there may be concerns by local residents and is therefore undertaking further work to address these concerns. Meanwhile, Gold Coast Airport had its busiest month on record for both international and domestic passenger numbers with more records likely to tumble as the airport clocks up its fifth consecutive year of growth. One of the fastest growing airports in Australia, is also among the most criticised by home owners as works continue on the instrument landing system (ILS) which shifts the runway south and further into NSW.

Councillor acknowledges support

I would like to remind all those people who supported Kingscliff’s three storey height limit that I needed three other councillors to vote for this building control. I wish to acknowledge their support. We all owe a vote of thanks to the Greens Mayor Katie Milne, independent Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry and Country Labor’s Reece Byrnes. They with their supporting vote showed that they recognized Kingscliff’s history, acknowledged the 14,000 people who have signed the petition and supported the continuing success of Kingscliff as a place to live and to visit. Hopefully the era of Council responding to the costly thought bubbles of unrepresentative pressure groups is over. If Kingscliff ever needs changing, this should only occur after widespread community consultation at the earliest possible stage. The community is made up of people with life-experience, imagination and common sense. They have much to offer Council in guiding the Tweed towards a sustainable future. It is my opinion that the costly mistakes made trying to change Kingscliff would never have occurred if this type of consultation had been in place. Tweed Shire Councillor Ron Cooper, Kingscliff

Meeting reminder for Legal Centre

Just a reminder that there is a town meeting scheduled to take place next Wednesday, April 5, to discuss our community’s response to the possible closure of the Community Legal Centre office. The staff from the CLC in Lismore who have carriage for the decision will be present, so please come along and add weight to the argument that there shouldn’t be any more service closures in the 2484 postcode area.

Nunderi hits the jackpot when it comes to atrocious mobile reception. I moved here last November and had been with Optus for a number of years. After some weeks of struggling to get a mobile signal Optus finally told me they couldn’t provide me with a service and I would need to look for another provider. I then switched everything to Telstra and the problems continued. Telstra told me they had a 4Gx tower that would help me out but it didn’t and all that was possible was 3G and that was outside – and infrequently. (My Apple phone is 4G compatible.) I finally chucked the towel in with Telstra when Vodafone told me they could provide me with at least a reasonably reliable 3G service. And they have; but mostly only get one bar and if outside, generally get two bars. Occasionally I get no bars at all. In all the places, I have lived in over the years this is the worst area for mobile reception I have ever experienced – it is certainly a big ‘Black Spot’ in need of remediation. As many of us do internet banking now as a matter of course it is critical to have good mobile reception for the code validation process involved in these transactions. Gayle Russell, Nunderi

Optus tower update “way overdue”

Hi, After reading you story on Optus coverage I felt it is way overdue for an upgrade to mobile service in our area. We are located in the valley between Bilambil and Terranora not far from the new NBN tower. Our static reception at our residence is poor and only exists if I leave my phone outside on a table. As for mobile there is only stable reception when we reach Banora point or the other way is when you go over Bilambil Heights towards Seagulls. Mark & Vickie Fleming, Bilambil

Chinderah homeless discussion worth having

Hi, I would just like to say John Lee is completely out of touch when it comes to the supposedly homeless people living along the river bank at Chinderah. I have written numerous letters to the Council about the amount

of people using Turnock Park as camping area which I am pleased to say the Council erected signs and this has improved the situation immensely, as for the so called homeless living along the Chinderah river bank the Council should move them on as they don’t pay rates or contribute anything to Chinderah. I am interested to know where John Lee lives it’s certainly not in Chinderah perhaps he would have a different outlook if they were in his back yard, although I don’t think he would, as he obviously thinks he is a good Samaritan and one day will be rewarded for his efforts in Heaven helping the homeless. I live in Chinderah and the sooner these people are moved on the better, maybe in the vicinity of where John Lee lives, he would not have to travel far to look after them, as a Chinderah resident and rate payer, I think people like John Lee are not doing the residents of Chinderah any favours. Michael Smethurst, Chinderah

Shame clouding our judgement

Western civilisation is now firmly entrenched in what could be called the Great Shame. It is where a civilisation has habituated itself to technologies as saviour, notices the side effects of technologies are killing the society, yet redoubles effort in that direction until collapse. Exceptional human ability with reason is given up, for habituation. De-humanisation takes place. This behaviour is apparently not unusual. Professor Jared Diamond in his book Collapse suggests descendents of some collapsed civilisations have no memory or story for the collapse. It is suggested the reason why the memory is blocked is because survivors have to live with the shame of what the whole society did in complicity as it became obvious their livings were unsustainable. It is primal habituation for doing the will of alpha monkeys that causes the mass to think they are powerless and must do the will of the upper social hierarchy. In our time that expresses itself in government. Belief in government solving an environment crisis is the same as waiting for civilisation collapse. Upper monkeys enjoy their life at the top and have little will to change it. Whatever happens in future will not be so bad if humans surround themselves with food as hippies have implied. The $3 tomato grown by oneself when a supermarket offers one for $1 is not disempowerment; is not reason for shame. Geoff Dawe, Uki

A “thank you” to Cr Cooper

The residents of Kingscliff and

the thousands of tourists who flock there each year owe a huge debt of gratitude to Cr Ron Cooper. H av i n g b e e n e l e c t e d o n maintaining Kingscliff’s building height limit and obtaining more than 14,000 petition signatures to support the issue, he has now succeeded in having the Draft Kingscliff Locality Plan amended to maintain the threestorey limit, whatever the designated limit in metres may be. For Cr James Owens to suggest that anything less than five storeys would be a “catastrophe” for Kingscliff shows the apparent contempt in which he and the other two dissenters hold the community they purport to represent; or perhaps they just can’t count past five. Jeremy Cornford, Kingscliff

I’m nearly homeless - what can I do?

At age 63 after working years and paying my taxes. After five years I have had to move out of a rental property due to another rent increase. This last rent increase was taking over half my pension. I am lucky as I have a temporary place to stay while friends travel but in a few weeks they will return so where do I go? Rental charges need to be capped. Name supplied and withheld, Tweed

Daylight Savings debate back

MP Geoff Provest for Tweed Heads, will lodge a Private Member’s Bill to end daylight saving by a month reducing the amount of DST said the new bill would focus only on the change of date. “It’s not a debate on daylight saving, it’s just reducing it by three weeks”, Mr Provest said. “It’s just three weeks too long”. (Does this mean that the medical problems caused by DS, is being acknowledged - ruling out debate? Although, he tried to force Queensland to go with DST, when before he wanted to scrap DST in his local government area! JS). Mr Provest said he hoped the bill would be approved and come into effect before DS starts again in October. His statements before were that DS should be taken off this last month for the current ending of DS. What happened to MP Adam Marshall’s, originally two months reduction; with MP Kevin Anderson Northern Daily Leader 8th April 2015, Private Member’s Bill with statements that it would be presented to Parliament early February 2016 and on throughtout 2016. September 2016 Mr Khan MLC gave notice in the Upper House where he would present Adam Marshall’s Private Member’s Bill but that went west! We were continually told Adam’s PMB would be before

Parliament so DS could stop a month earlier! That went west! Now Mr Provest’s PMB will have to pass through both Houses of Parliament. This sure comes across as what is known as ‘given the run-around’. Jillian Spring, Billinudgel

Here’s a free tip for towing

Whether it’s a car, or 4x4 towing a trailer or a caravan, or a truck of big motor home or bus with a trailer, any sort of towing really. An invaluable tip I got from an old truckie that used to travel Australia for 10 years in a big bus and trailer and will help you with reversing. If you want the trailer to go to the right, while reversing, put your right hand up. If you want the trailer to go to the left, while reversing, put your left hand up. Forget the word “down, it’s confusing mixing left and right together. T Hansen, Murwillumbah

Please get rid of the Norfolk pine pests

I would be pleased to see these pines eradicated totally. They are not native to our coast. They were introduced in the hope they could be used to make ships masts. Big mistake, the timber is too soft. The timber is of not use even for the BBQ and the tree is very messy. Birds only use them to rest in and for toilets. If the gum gets on the car together with the birds dropping your paint can be seriously damaged. For those people that like these trees can I suggest they carry a rake to gather up those pine branches that cover the ground around the trees and dispose of them. These messy monsters were intended to let passing sailing ships know where there is a harbour of some hope. Later fishermen used them to align their better fishing locations. Both these uses are no longer used since there are very accurate GPS locators for use which are far more accurate. Tony Kean, Banora point Free Land & Wildlife workshops will be presented on writing an effective funding application, Aboriginal Cultural Heritage awareness (booked out), weed management, managing riparian areas, developing a tree planting budget, and fire and biodiversity. The first free workshop will be held in Murwillumbah from 9am to noon on Saturday 8 April 2017 and includes morning tea. Places are limited and bookings are essential by contacting Council’s Contact Centre on (02) 6670 2400.

No coal seam gas for Tweed as North Coast Plan released A BLUEPRINT mapping the future of the North Coast was released last week and it highlights the Tweed as the fastest growing centre with more than 11,600 new homes needed by 2036. The plan was released on Wednesday, March 22, by NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW, John Barilaro, and Minister for Planning and Housing, Anthony Roberts. One of the standouts of the North Coast Regional Plan was confirmation that the extraction of coal seam gas will not be under consideration. Mr Barilaro said in a media statement that the message on coal seam gas was “loud and clear”. “We’ve heard the community’s viewpoint on coal seam gas loud and clear and this plan states that CSG resources on the North Coast will remain in the ground,” Mr Barilaro said. Tourism was also outlined as one of the strongest growth areas for the Tweed and the entire North Coast total visitor number has already exceeded 12 million and growing. While the report outlines a need for new homes and development, it also sought to highlight a need to strike a balance with nature including comments about koalas and the environment. “Koalas are an iconic species on the North Coast, and both landholders and the wider community hold the key to the future of this special animal,” the report reads. “The koala population on the North Coast is coming under increased stress, and protecting habitat is an important factor in reducing this stress and halting the decline of the population. “State policy will continue to seek ways to improve and

implement appropriate measures to help minimise the impacts of development on koalas and their habitat.” The report said the North Coast is set to become one of Australia’s best regions to live, work and play under this “bold new plan unveiled by the NSW Government”. The NSW Government said the blueprint will “guide planning and land use decisions in the region over the next two decades”. “The 80-point action plan will protect the region’s stunning coastline and natural environment, create more jobs, establish vibrant communities and greater housing choice for people living on the North Coast,” Mr Barilaro said. The Government media release said there will be a provision of affordable housing, protection of coastal strips and forging stronger links to the Queensland Government form part of the plan. “The aim is to also increase connectivity between North Coast communities and those in South East Queensland and remove barriers to cross-regional relationships.” Mr Roberts said the local population is projected to increase by more than 75,000 people (North Coast total) by 2036 and that will see the need for another 46,000 homes. “Over the next 20 years, almost 77 per cent of the population growth is projected to occur in our regional cities, including the Port Macquarie-Hastings, Coffs Harbour, Lismore and Tweed local government areas,” he said. “The plan will ensure housing diversity, delivering 40 per cent of new homes in the form of apartments, townhouses, villas and homes on lots less than 400 square metres.” Read more about the plan for growth and housing affordability on page 23.

Read the plan’s vision and goals

The vision of the plan is to make the North Coast the best region in Australia to live, work and play thanks to its spectacular environment and vibrant communities. To achieve this vision, the NSW Government has acknowledged the importance of the environment and the opportunities of the Pacific Highway, South East Queensland and the region’s cities and centres and set the following regionally focused goals: • The most stunning environment in NSW. • A thriving, interconnected economy. • Vibrant and engaged communities. • Great housing choice and lifestyle options.

PRINCIPLE 1: DIRECT GROWTH TO IDENTIFIED URBAN GROWTH AREAS Urban growth areas have been identified to achieve a balance between urban expansion and protecting coastal and other environmental assets. They help maintain the distinctive character of the North Coast, direct growth away from significant farmland and sensitive ecosystems and enable efficient planning for infrastructure and services. PRINCIPLE 2: MANAGE THE SENSITIVE COASTAL STRIP: The coastal strip comprises land east of the planned Pacific Highway alignment plus the urban areas of Tweed Heads around the Cobaki Broadwater. The coastal strip is ecologically diverse and contains wetlands, lakes, estuaries, aquifers, significant farmland, and has areas of local, State, national and international environmental significance. Much of this land is also subject to natural hazards, including flooding, coastal inundation, erosion and recession. Demand for new urban and rural residential land in this area is high. To safeguard the sensitive coastal environment, rural residential development will be limited in this area, and only minor and contiguous variations to urban growth area boundaries will be considered. PRINCIPLE 3: PROVIDE GREAT PLACES TO LIVE AND WORK IN A UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT: Making cities and centres the focus of housing diversity, jobs and activities makes communities more vibrant and active, reduces pressure on the environment, and makes it easier for residents to travel to work and access services. The plan guides councils in preparing local growth management strategies and planning proposals to deliver great places to live and work that maximise the advantages of the North Coast’s unique environment.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Workers’ compensation scheme failing, review ﬁnds

A review of the controversial changes to the NSW workers’ compensation scheme has found it is dysfunctional, confusing, riddled with delays and unfair. Maurie Stack OAM, chairman of Stacks Law Firm and former head of the Law Society of NSW, has been very critical of changes made in 2012 by the NSW government to the scheme that is meant to assist people injured at work. “There were some improvements in government adjustments to the scheme in 2015 after Stacks and others campaigned against the harshness and unfairness of the 2012 changes, but injured workers still suffer an unfair burden and are often treated atrociously by insurers,” Mr Stack said.

New midwifery service opens at The Tweed Hospital SEVEN MIDWIVES have been employed as part of the new Tweed Midwifery Group Practice (TMGP), which opened for new clients at The Tweed Hospital on Monday, March 27. This model of care offers women the opportunity to be seen by the same midwife from their first antenatal visit right through their pregnancy, during birth and after they have returned home with their baby. The TMGP provides continuity of care for women who are generally healthy, with a low risk of pregnancy and birth complications. “This model of care is backed by very strong evidence for the benefits it brings to women and babies, and is a very exciting addition to The Tweed Hospital,” Susan Freiberg, Director of Nursing and Midwifery at TTH, said. “The benefits of this type of midwifery model lie in the continuity of care which enables the development of a relationship between a woman and her midwife throughout the pregnancy journey.” The group practice model differs from the usual model in which a woman may see many carers during her pregnancy, and another for the birth of her baby. Midwives Mel Rainger and Jess Baxter are two local women who have moved back to the Tweed region to take up positions in the new midwifery service. “I’m excited to be a part of offering a service that women love and that makes them feel special throughout their pregnancy journey,” Ms Rainger said. Ms Rainger has previously worked in a team as part of a midwifery group practice and is thrilled to be able to come

back to her own community as part of this service. Rachel Bryant and Sally Cusack are two local mums who are the community representatives on the Tweed Byron Health Services Group Maternity Services Steering Committee, and have been involved in local advocacy for this type of model of care for several years. Ms Bryant had one of her children through the Murwillumbah group practice. “I’m a real believer in this model, by having the three facilities of Byron, Tweed and Murwillumbah all offering this service, it provides fantastic choice for women in this area,” Ms Bryant said. “This is the gold standard of care internationally, and it’s wonderful that such a high percentage of women in the local area are able to access this model of care,” Ms Cusack said. In launching the service, Bernadette Loughnane, General Manager, Tweed Byron Health Services Group, said the latest BHI report on mother’s experiences in Maternity Services in NSW provided compelling evidence on the benefits of MGP models of care. “The launch of MGP at The Tweed Hospital was the culmination of a series of changes across the Tweed Byron Health Services Group maternity services, including the development of a ‘maternity and new born clinical services plan’”, Ms Loughnane said. It is anticipated that around 250 women each year will be cared for through the TMGP. Referrals to the service can be made through a General Practitioner or by self-referring by calling the Tweed Hospital Women’s Care Unit on (07) 5506 7490.

Now the NSW Parliament’s Standing Committee on Law and Justice has released a review that found the administrative process for injured workers to seek assistance was “impenetrable” and generated more problems than it solves. It found that despite the scheme being meant to help injured workers, it was now $1.87 billion in surplus. Claims for compensation by injured workers have fallen dramatically from 110,000 in 2011-12, to just over 60,000 in 2015-16. The Workers Compensation Insurance Fund has grown to a $1.87 billion surplus. The fund is likely to pocket even more money from 27 December when an estimated 6,000 injured workers are due to be cut off from their weekly benefits. This is the date on which workers injured before the 2012 changes are deemed to have received the allotted maximum of five years of weekly benefits. Only a small percentage of workers, those with extremely severe or catastrophic injuries, will be immune from these unfair changes.

The committee found that the government was slow to introduce a process where registered lawyers could represent injured workers in a dispute at no cost to the worker. “The insurer holds all the cards,” Mr Stack said. “The insurer’s agent is the case ofﬁcer for the injured worker; the insurer picks the doctor the injured worker sees to assess their level of incapacity; if challenged, the insurer reviews their own decision. The entire scheme is geared to making it as difﬁcult as possible for an injured worker to get adequate compensation.” Mr Stack supports the committee’s recommendation for an independent judicial “one-stop shop” for workers compensation disputes, provided workers have properly trained and experienced legal representation and the right to appeal to a superior court.” comment

Flood watch warning issued for Tweed or working along rivers and streams “must monitor the latest weather forecasts and warnings and be ready to move to higher ground should flooding develop”. Flood Warnings will be issued if minor flood level is expected to be exceeded at key sites along the main rivers for which the Bureau of Meteorology provides a flood warning service. NSW SES Richmond Tweed Region Controller Andrew McPhee said people in the Northern Rivers need to be aware of the imminent weather and the potential flooding effects that it may cause later in the week. Andrew also says that people need to monitor the weather conditions, remain vigilant and aware of your surroundings, and make smart decisions when preparing for, or travelling in severe weather events such as this. The warning follows the Tweed Shire receiving more than 300mm of rain during mid-March and fears that high sub soil moisture levels could result in fast running water and possible floods.

NSW STATE Emergency Service (SES) has issued a flood warning for the Tweed Shire as cyclone Debbie is expected to track slowly southeast while a lowpressure trough deepens near the border. The Flood Watch is for moderate to major flooding on the Tweed, Brunswick, Richmond and Wilson Valleys and was confirmed by the Bureau of Meteorology, who is the lead weather agency for floods and storms. “A cold front moving through NSW during Thursday will interact with moisture from Tropical Cyclone Debbie, leading to widespread rain over the state’s east. Particularly heavy rain is expected in parts of the northeast on Thursday, likely continuing into Friday as a low-pressure trough deepens near the Queensland border,” the Bureau said. “This weather system has the potential to cause river flooding as well as local flash flooding to develop along the following river valleys from today (Thursday, March 30). The flood watch means that people living

with Vincent Power crisis - I think not

Are You Ready Yet?

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

Opinion piece

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

WHEN YOU think about the National Electricity Grid, you may be excused if you see a control room full of technicians with illuminated devices, controlling switches and panels turning on and off hydro and gas power plants to ensure that everyone has more than enough electricity at all times. The truth is we have a series of private coal and gas corporations watching screens which show the spot price for wholesale electricity, strategically starving the network to push the price up and ensure they all make more money. When they fail to turn on their gas power plants and there is a blackout, they blame wind energy. They employ expolitician lobbyists in Canberra to remind the government of their massive donations to their campaign and roll out their finely crafted press releases about the woeful blight of renewable energy in the market. As a result, the wholesale price of electricity has doubled in the last twelve months. Every blackout sees a massive swipe by the Federal Government about “unreliable” renewable energy and diverts attention from the rapidly rising emissions in the energy sector and our pitiful contribution to the Paris Accord to arrest global warming.

owns both coal and gas power plants. The spot price is too low, so they turn off the coalfired plant for “emergency maintenance” or “poor quality coal detected”. The spot price goes up five times and their corporate mate “Organ” turns on their instant gas plant and soaks in the profits. Occasionally the Australian Energy Market Operator will fine them if they get caught, but if they bounce the coal starvation around between all their mates, it looks credible. They all win and we all lose with higher electricity prices. The only time this rort does not work is when wind energy in South Australia is pumping more energy into the grid and these are the days with the lowest wholesale energy price. South Australia is way over being a football to be kicked in this corporate game and is setting up its own battery storage and gas plant to ensure power security and lower prices. The Federal government gatecrashed the SA Premier’s press conference with its thought bubble to increase the size of the Snowy Mountains Scheme - a megalithic distraction that will take billions of dollars and decades to roll out. We all get fleeced for longer! Stay tuned for more analysis from Vincent on different sectors of the energy market.

Hope remains for Banana Festival THE BANANA Festival could be thrown a lifeline during April as several not-for-profit organisations put their hand up to potentially take on the iconic festival, however a clear path towards the August deadline and saving the festival remains unclear. The appeal for a not-for-profit to carry on the festival tradition, of more than 60 years, follows the announcement by the Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central Inc it will hand off the festival to another suitable not-for-profit club or organisation. The Rotary Club of Murwillumbah Central had operated the festival for the past 10 years and made the announcement last week. Among those open to taking on the festival includes the Apex Club of Murwillumbah and two other not-for-profit organisations that were yet to be named. Apex Murwillumbah members met on Monday, March 27, at the Courthouse Hotel for emergency meeting to discuss the possibility of taking over the Banana Festival. The meeting discussed several aspects of the festival including insurance costs and premiums, as well as the festival workload, delegating responsibilities and most importantly costs associated with hosting the festival. Apex President Duncan Taylor, the grandson of Bill Taylor who started the festival 61 years ago and son of Murwillumbah icon Phil Taylor, told The Weekly that although the Apex Club was interested in the festival a lot of questions still required answers. Mr D Taylor said any changeover of the festival was still in the early stages and the club was yet to vote on whether to pursue the matter further. While the door remains open to Apex, the window of opportunity is reducing as recruitment for Banana Queens is approaching. Meanwhile, Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said he believes Tweed Shire Council should take a lead or another role in helping with some of the administration duties. “I think to lose such an iconic festival would be an absolute tragedy,” Mr Provest said. “I’d encourage Council to take a role in saving the Banana Festival for the valley and for all of Tweed. “I know that Council can assist with managing some of the administrative aspects of the festival, which could help the not-for-profit that does take it on.” Mr Provest also encouraged the organisation that does take

on the Banana Festival to apply for the State Governments Regional Growth – Environment and Tourism Fund, which could give the festival a $20,000 boost. Member for Lismore Thomas George MP, announced the grant last week and said local community and government organisations are being encouraged to apply for funding for environment and tourism projects which could include festivals such as the Banana Festival. Mr George said the fund aimed to increase tourist visitation by supporting regional environment and tourism infrastructure projects to help grow and diversify regional economies across the State. “This is great news for our region and I strongly encourage our local organisations to pitch for the funding,” he said. “Expressions of interest are now open for the initial round of the Fund – at least $100 million is available for regional environment and tourism projects from local and state government agencies; Aboriginal Land Councils and other Aboriginal groups; community groups registered as incorporated associations; and non-government organisations. “We are looking for visionary projects that will transform regional economies which might include new or upgraded visitor infrastructure for national parks; new or upgraded camping facilities; repurposing of Crown Lands or heritage buildings for tourism, and the infrastructure to support new visitor activities and eco-tourism. “The expressions of interest, which close on April, 6 will be independently assessed and shortlisted by Infrastructure NSW with assistance from other NSW agencies.” For further information: www.industry.nsw.gov.au/rgetf

Kingscliff Police Station will remain despite new cop shop

MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest MP has quashed rumours the Kingscliff Police Station could close once the new Tweed Heads Police Headquarters opens later this year. Several residents had contacted The Weekly with concerns the Kingscliff Police Station could be shut down as part of centralising services. However, Mr Provest said the rumours were not true and in fact there could be plans to eventually upgrade the Kingscliff Station. “The Kingscliff Station will remain,” Mr Provest said. “There may also be a look at how we can improve the site, as it’s very old and there’s a need to upgrade it. Mr Provest said he acknowledged there had been some concerns around the station, but he also outlined some of the outstanding results from local police. “I see the Kingscliff Station as a very important asset to the Tweed,” he said. “But we’re also experiencing some of the lowest crime rates across the Tweed Shire in more than three years.” Mr Provest highlighted that Tweed Byron Local Area Command was also achieving a 98 per cent conviction rate. “That 98 per cent of all arrests are convicted, that’s an outstanding result for local police and testament to their policing across the shire,” Mr Provest said. As for the deadline for the new Tweed Heads Police HQ to open, Mr Provest said he’s hoping for an end of July opening. “I’ve been told the official opening will be August or September, but I’m confident we can make it by July,” Mr Provest said.

Tweed Shire Council - Six Months on TWEED SHIRE Councillors are approaching their first six months since the Tweed Shire Council elections in late 2016 and what a year it has been already. The Councillors have been busy tackling local issues, criticism and praise in one of the fastest growing and most desirable locations in NSW. But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing with several hard decisions for the Councillors including the newcomers who have had to contend with critics as well as public backlash via social media. However, feedback from The Weekly readers has been largely positive towards the Councillors with several residents highlighting a more cohesive Council although others have criticised the new Councillors for being too “green” or left leaning. The Weekly recently caught up with each Councillor to ask them several questions about their passions across the shire and for those new to the role as Tweed Shire Councillors, how they’re settling into the position. The questions were as follows: 1. Firstly, for those relatively new to council, could you please outline how you’re managing the role and community expectations? 2. What areas do you feel passionate about and will continue to campaign for? 3. What are some of your biggest concerns across the shire? And how do you plan on addressing those concerns? 4. How do you feel the new council has been accepted by the public and what have been some of the toughest issues to tackle? 5. Where to from here? What does the future hold for you as a Councillor during the next six months and what are some of your top priorities?

6. Finally, do you have any final thoughts about being a Councillor? Has this view changed since you started or remained the same? COUNCILLOR REECE BYRNES It is such an honour to be your Labor representative on Tweed Shire Council. My priorities six months on have not changed. I continue to work hard for residents to drive our local economy, protect our environment and support the community. Labor has already delivered on its election commitment to modernise Council by getting it onto social media and has helped support several key initiatives by the Council. Labor will keep fighting for and for local residents. delivering At the last election, residents demanded a Council free of bickering and extremes. Labor and Reece Byrnes will continue to fight hard for the balanced middle ground on all the challenges that face the Tweed. COUNCILLOR RON COOPER 1. It’s not about managing expectations – it’s about delivering expectations. With the expectation of saving Kingscliff’s three storey height limit, the likely delivery of that has been entirely due to the 14,000 people

who signed the Heights of Buildings petition. Glenn Christopherson crystalised the value of each and every signature when he wrote that he “will take some small satisfaction from the tiny weight my signature added”. I hope everyone who signed can feel that way. 2. I think everyone has recognised my passion for Kingscliff’s three storey limit. My less publicised but equally driving passion is to change Council’s well-intentioned but shown to be ineffective consultation practices. I want more of our less conspicuous or perhaps conveniently forgotten residents to have their say. I want Council to use plain English when talking to the community. I want Council to acknowledge that the life experience, the imagination and the common sense all citizens can be a very valuable component of many decisions. 3. My biggest concern is the way Council is prepared to throw our money at the thoughtbubbles of people with undue influence. The new consultation process will put an end to this. There is no place for Council to be courting influence with our money. A professional Council organisation has to learn to say no when the paying public – the average ratepayer – receives little or no benefit. 4. The new Council has been accepted pretty well but they had an easy act to follow. If the new Councillors put the lifestyle of residents and the enjoyment of visitors at the top of their priorities, then success of business, the preservation of our environment and the security of farming will automatically follow. 5. The next six months will be focussed on making genuine community consultation fundamental to Council’s governance. I would like to find a way of preventing the distortion

of good decision making by political party influence and opportunism. 6. I’m ahead of where I dared hope to be with my two passions – the three-storey height limit and more effective consultation. I’m almost overwhelmed by the paperwork or should I say digital disruption. I’m an oldie and I’d better get used to being out of my comfy retirement chair, if I’m going to be of value to the community as a councillor. COUNCILLOR PRYCE ALLSOP Being elected to council was obviously the result our team was looking. It is a big commitment and I am enjoying all the challenges quite a lot. It can definitely be a task and there can be massive pressure from time to time. My wife Carol and I have our own business and juggling our own commitments with council business is challenging. The time we devote as Councillors is up to the individual. So far, it’s working very well. Community expectations do vary broadly from very warm to like ice from those that feel we have voted the wrong way. Though not all are like this. I say thank you to the many nice people who have congratulated or had a bit of joke about the requests for shire fixes. Tourism and Public Transport are things that have the potential for the biggest rewards for our community. The potential for tourism to help deliver better transport services to our region and also create better connections for our local communities, whilst also boosting the local economy and facilitating better lifestyles for Tweed Residents long term.

real privilege. I want a bright future for Tweed and for our children. I want to see us working collaboratively with the community, all levels of government and the private sector to deliver the environment, homes, jobs, services and lifestyle choices for us all to live healthy, happy and prosperous lives. Protecting the environment, supporting business and families, helping our youth, supporting healthy and happy lifestyles, looking after our elderly and the most vulnerable. See my response to question 5 for an idea of some of the greatest priorities for Tweed as I see it. See my response to question 5 for an idea of some of the greatest priorities for Tweed as I see it. In addition, none of these things will come to fruition if we don’t have good leadership. We need professional, experienced people in leadership positions who have the skills and knowledge and confidence to make tough decisions and deliver for the Tweed community and I don’t think we have enough of that. We need to encourage good people, representative of the broader population to become involved in leadership roles and I’m working hard to do that by leading by example. I don’t know - you’ll have to ask the public what they think but I’m working hard to deliver good outcomes for them based on why they elected me. I’ve had some really positive and supportive feedback so far though. Almost everything that comes to council is tough and addressing issues with pre-conceived ideas or notions is dangerous. What is important is to be able to have a balanced view that considers all sides and all stakeholders views and then have the courage of your convictions to make a decision based on what you believe to be right. (Q5 My priorities) In no particular order... Ensuring that the Clarrie Hall Dam raising program of works continue unabated. Developing our tourism product Offerings for example seeing the commencement of the Rail Trail by securing funding from the State and Federal Governments. Ensuring the Kingscliff Locality Plan does not have a blanket three-storey height limit imposed on it. Ensuring the Kingscliff Foreshore capital works and Tweed Library upgrade come to fruition expediently. A successful rollout of the three bin system. Seeing the progression of Tweed’s strategic development sites e.g. Area Terranora. Kingscliff West (Gales Holdings Land), Dunloe Park, and Leda Holdings Lands in Cobaki and Kings Forest continue to progress. Making it easier for business to establish and operate in Tweed through the Economic Development Strategy. Investigating how we can provide more sport, lifestyle and adventure activities particularly for our younger people. Lobbying the State Government for more road funding. I’m loving it and I’m more determined now work hard and ensure The Shire becomes an even better place to live than it already is. MORE NEXT WEEK.

COUNCILLOR CHRIS CHERRY Finding my feet as a Councillor has been a bit of a roller coaster with a steep learning curve on how it is not possible to be all things to all people. I have had a baptism of fire with the Men’s shed first up and learning to negotiate the twists and turns of Council. The residential amenity of the residents around the airport is really important to me. I copped a lot of criticism for supporting a strongly worded submission to the Gold Coast airport in their plans to use landing paths 300m closer to Tweed residential areas. We were not trying to shut the airport down, we were telling them they are in a constrained location and they need to manage the impacts they are having on our residents. To me that’s our job - to stand up for our residents and make sure they get a fair go. Winning the court case to retain the land for the Pottsville high school was a huge win for the Pottsville community and getting the school will continue to be a priority for me. I am hoping the Plan of Management for the Jack Evans Boat Harbour will be consulted soon, so people can have their say on what they want on the Harbour and its foreshore area. Commercial water extraction is an issue that concerns me greatly. I am not talking of water used for irrigation as that is largely selfregulating. I am speaking of those enterprises which take a resource that is publicly owned and sell it off for private gain while the rest of the Shire has to subsidise fixing the roads to pay for the damage the huge trucks are creating. Illegal land clearing is another issue that really frustrates me. Somehow, we need to make sure those who take part in these actions get a real penalty rather than a slap on the wrist. I think there are many who see the new council as they have seen every other - too much talk and not enough fixing of potholes but looking from the inside I see just how hard the staff and councillors are working to make sure we deliver the best we can with the resources we have. We are all trying to be respectful of each other as Councillors and recognising that each of us are representing different viewpoints in our diverse community and trying to find ways forward on contentious issues that represent the will of the people. I have come to the realisation that I have to be true to myself and represent our community in the best way I can. It is all any of us can do.

the years to come. It’s important that consultation evolves and that we find achievable and affordable ways to achieve communication with people. I think being a councillor is exactly that, taking council of others. Finding common themes and trying to deliver on those findings.

I believe council can be part of this in a variety of ways. Whilst tourism is definitely going to require the public acceptance and some patience when it starts to evolve the local business hopefully will respond to challenges whilst trying to facilitate changes when they occur. We may also require a helping hands from the state government redefining some rules to better facilitate the rural potentials. Camphor Trees are on my hit list. There is a failure to see these trees as the weeds they are. Uncontrolled and leaving camphor alone will amount to more and more growth adding to the proliferation of camphor trees growing virtually uncontrolled. They vegetate around every rural fence line and along rural water ways. Camphor are a disaster to have growing by the Tweeds Water ways, the creeks the streams These trees seem to burn like kerosene. This rule require some refining to create a superior outcome for farmers than the strategies we have in place. Many are throwing their arms in the air and feel that the current system is a huge fail. There is an Application process required for camphor removal, Farmers or people of the land believe that they should be able to look after there land not have to wait for approval to control weeds that invade their land. Farmers simply want the best outcome as these weeds proliferate in our Tweed environment. There are millions of camphor seeds and seedlings. They are growing in huge numbers and they are accelerating. Whilst farmer drop in numbers the strength of their voices is being reduced. It’s not safe to be ignoring what is now a minority, they need our support and deserve significant attention to listen to what they are saying, perhaps concessions to aid their cause. The public are very good really, yes there are are some who want to test us out. The People who voted for me personally often make a point of saying Hi and letting me know they gave me their vote. Sometimes this happens in front of other councillors, it usually causes some smart remarks and a laugh or two. I have had a few people make a point of telling me why I didn’t get their vote. It’s difficult to believe it’s been six months it only feels like it’s been about two months in a lot of ways. I am still learning the ropes and will be for some time to come. As people, we the Councillors all get on well. As Councillors, there are some vast differences between our views of the Tweeds’ needs. I’d like to think we could reduce the gap in our observations and differences. I’m told that I might be a little bit over optimistic by some folk in that regard. We’ll see. The next six months I’m wanting to secure better understanding of meeting practices I’d like to better acquaint myself with things under council control that can be improved. There items I spoke on running for council election that the state government controls. I’ll be honest, I am surprised Mayor’s and Councillor’s decision making contribution is as strong as it is with the education levels and credentials of council staff. I do feel very comfortable in my role as a councillor. I still do believe that there is too much red tape. Council and government have embarked on a conciliation process which should deliver better community outcomes and better consultation over

GO THE MIGHTY MUSTANGS!

IT’S A new season for the Murwillumbah Mustangs, who are looking solid season with the guidance of former star halfback and 2016 Premiership coach Nathan Jordan. Speaking with The Weekly, Nathan said it would be a tough start for the Mustangs against Casino on Sunday April 2, with a rematch of last years preliminary final. Nathan said that the side had retained some players from last years Premiership winning side, but have lost some of the younger players to chase higher honours at other clubs most notably Toby McIntosh who has joined Burleigh Bears in their Intrust Super Cup Squad.

“We haven’t recruited a great amount rather put trust in our younger players that did the job for us last year, Daryl Brooks and Wade Riley have proved that they belong in first grade. It will be exciting to see how they develop further this year.” he said. Nathan said he was focused on recommencing “business as usual”. “We don’t want to change too much.” he said. “Everyone’s looking fit for round one against Casino, they will be one of the teams to beat with a lot of strong players,” he said. “The Court House Hotel is again our major sponsor this year and a big thank you to them for their support. The crowds supporting the local team have been great on Sunday nights at

Mustangs Coach the Courthouse. Ladbrokes Have also come on board as a key sponsor continuing their tremendous support for local sport with includes the Murwillumbah Football Club. “Our home crowds are the biggest in any local competition and I’d like to urge our supporters to come along and watch our local games, we’re grateful to supporters and our local sponsors.” Throughout the year the club expects to hold several charity events and raise funds for local charities, with more information to come. “I’d also like to thank my support staff and the committee for their tireless work and efforts, which are much appreciated,” Nathan said.

Kingscliff height limitations draws criticism from Councillor TWEED SHIRE Councillor James Owen has criticised fellow Councillor Ron Cooper’s motion to impose a three-storey height limitation on Kingscliff and he’s vowed to fight back with his own motion. The stoush started after Cr Cooper raised a motion during council’s March 16 meeting that “council progress the draft Kingscliff Locality Plan to formal public exhibition without additional community based workshops with adjustments including limiting Marine Parade Town Centre Precinct to a building height of 11 metres”. The plan also highlighted “all other areas of medium density residential zones be limited to a building height of 12.2 metres and that all mixed use and business zones be limited to a building height of 13.6 metres”. “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,” the report reads. “This revised draft plan be brought to Council prior to public exhibition.” Cr Owen objected to the motion, which was eventually carried, stating that he could “not support it because it is going to mean that my children won’t have the future I’d envisaged for them in Kingscliff”. “The resolution effectively removes Council’s ability to negotiate (through Section 94 Developer Contributions) significant community benefits and amenity outcomes for the people of Kingscliff and Tweed,” Cr Owen said. Cr Owen said the Government’s North Coast Regional Plan identified the Tweed as a major growth centre for new housing, services and jobs. “In 20-years’ time an additional 20,000 to 30,000 people will call some part of the Tweed Shire home,” he said. “We need a plan to ensure that we provide the environment, houses, jobs, infrastructure, services and lifestyle options so that we can all live happy, healthy and prosperous lives in Tweed.” Mr Owen said imposing height restrictions could mean a greater need to spread out across the Tweed Shire and therefore encroach on more land and the environment. “I want to see our elderly residents being able to shop, meet friends, visit the doctor or library in a convenient central location along major bus routes and I want Tweed to be a place where our children will want to live, study work and play,” he said. “I am putting up a rescission motion on this misguided and

self-serving resolution at the April 16 Council meeting along with a Notice of Motion to run a pilot consultation process to seek the community’s feedback on what they would like to see at the development site at Pearl Street Kingscliff. “I hope that my fellow Councillors see sense and support it - for the sake of us all.” However, Cr Cooper has hit back at suggestions he’s stalling progress by stating that a part of why Kingscliff is so desirable is because it’s low density and offers a relaxed pace. “Unfortunately, Liberal Councillor James Owen has not been in the Tweed long enough to become steeped in the history of Kingscliff’s long fight to retain its three-storey height limits,” Cr Cooper said. “The truth is that without this community’s fighting spirit, Kingscliff would not be the highly desirable place it is today. “Kingscliff’s envied lifestyle and its tourism economy is due to the social cohesion that has evolved over the 34-year fight to retain our three-storey height limit. “For a newcomer to barge in and smash all this is unacceptable. If our Liberal councillor is prepared to horsetrade with developers – more green space for more height – where will he stop? “It won’t wash with Kingscliff locals and I suspect that the people of Casuarina Beach won’t wear it either.” Cr Cooper questioned how can an extra two or three storeys in parts of Kingscliff possibly be the saviour of James’s children’s future? “That’s over the top James even for a pro-development Liberal,” he said. “How can an extra two or three storeys in parts of Kingscliff solve the demand for housing in twenty years’ time? No James, you’re heading for high rise. That’s the Gold Coast solution. Be warned Tweed residents.” Cr Owen said he believed the height restrictions would hinder the allowance of more green spaces, parks and other amenities; as well as less retail and housing spaces. However, Cr Cooper said Cr Owen’s aspirations for Kingscliff can be met with the three-storey height limit. “Trying to scuttle this long fought-for decision won’t go down well. Who’s next, Hastings Point and Pottsville communities,” Cr Cooper said. It is important to note here that Kingscliff includes the Salt and Seaside estates but does not include Casuarina. Cr Owen said agreed that many residents wanted to maintain a three-storey height limit, however he stressed that “they would be willing to accept building heights of up to

16.6 metres (five stories) in certain areas of Kingscliff (where no one was adversely affected) in return for developers providing public amenities such as a new library or more parks and playgrounds or additional environmental land”. “That sounds reasonable to me,” Cr Owen said. “The consultation also suggested lowering the building heights in certain areas including along Marine Parade (from Turnock Street to Seaview Street).” “It also appears that, to some, it doesn’t matter what the community thinks. Apparently a 14,000-signature petition against “High Rise” in Kingscliff (population approximately 8,500) holds more weight than rigorous, comprehensive and award winning consultation with the community. “It’s worth noting that the petition was signed by people from all over Australia. “If I went to Wangaratta and tried to tell them how to run their shire they’d laugh me out of town.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe height limits need to be restricted in Kingscliff? Or do you feel growth of the Tweed Coast would be hindered by height restrictions? Send your thoughts and letters to editor@theweekly.net.au

Mayor to seek way forward for Chinderah homeless Hardnuts 4 preparing “I believe that there are garages out there that are not being used, and are standing idle that are in fenced/unfenced yards,” he said. “The things we take for granted, a roof over our heads plus a light plus a shower and a loo is what these wonderful people are in need of, plus a little human fellowship. “We are not asking for a freebie accommodation as the homeless (my client) will pay if given a chance and it is within the budget.” “If you have the confidence and the generosity to assist, then contact me at 3tgroup2015@gmail.com” Mr Ashworth is among several people attempting to help the homeless including You Have a Friend operator John Lee, who met with Tweed Shire Council Mayor Katie Milne recently. The meeting was to discuss the homelessness issues around Chinderah and where they could find a more permanent location. “We had a very positive meeting with John and his wife Robyn from You Have A Friend,” Mayor Milne said. “John and Robyn are going to work with Council to find a more appropriate place for homeless to park safely overnight that doesn’t impact on residents, and also help us identify the genuinely homeless so we are not over run by travellers just after free camping. “It is a heartbreaking situation but there is goodwill from all concerned for the homeless and I am confident we will find a solution very soon.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think there’s a better location for those sleeping rough?

for Simpson Desert run

FOUR TWEED locals are gearing up for an ultraendurance marathon across the Simpson Desert to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Known as the “Hardnuts 4” is a group four mates with a passion for helping others. The team includes captain Anne Besgrove, 55, Steve Lucas, 47, John Maguire, 53 and Andrew Westwick, 44 (pictured above). Although the group have a combined age of almost 200, they’re all eager to undertake the 250km marathon across six days. Type 1 diabetes is now a fast-growing health concern that affects a huge number of young people especially children under the age of 10, resulting in serious lifelong health problems.

THERE’S BEEN mixed responses to a recent article in The Weekly around Chinderah homeless including several online comments criticising those residents for labelling homeless, in some situations, as drug and alcohol abusers. The messages to The Weekly expressed disappointment in locals for not offering more assistance and that Chinderah residents could be “generalising” when many of the people sleeping rough are not on drugs. “I read your story about the homeless and it amazes me that so many Australians have opinions, but did they talk to a homeless person about their situation? If they did, they did not talk to our client,” Brian Ashworth from Tweed Tenancy Group said. “In the selection of pictures published in the story, there was one that had our clients’ vehicle. “This person and ourselves are working hard to find accommodation, but it is hard when one does not make the required points needed to qualify for a rental agreement. “My name is Brian and at present I am involved as a Volunteer Advocate for people in Social Housing to assist them to stand up for themselves, the group is “The Tweed Tenancy Group” or the short version “3t”.” Mr Ashworth said his background was as a volunteer advocate that started the 3t. “In my conversations with many homeless people they all tell me they do not and cannot make the 100-point check to rent through the proper channels,” he said. Mr Ashworth refuted rumours that the people living in their vehicles were drug users and have avoided helping themselves.

Tweed centre of growth under North Coast Regional Plan THE TWEED is set to receive more than 11,000 new homes over the next 20 years, according to the North Coast Regional Plan which was released by the State Government last Wednesday, March 22. The plan identifies the Tweed Shire as needing to grow by a minimum of 11,600 homes over the next two decades from 44,450 homes (as of 2016) to 56,050. The Kings Forest and Cobaki Lakes developments are listed as major sites to contribute to new housing on the Tweed, with Dunloe Park at Pottsville also highlighted as a future growth area. Currently 30 per cent of all new housing is classed as multidwelling. As the population grows the plan has set the target for 40 per cent of all new dwellings to be either apartments, townhouses, villas, or homes on lots less than 400 square metres by 2036. According to the plan the coastal villages of the Tweed Shire have experienced some of the strongest growth on the North Coast. “The popularity of the Tweed Coast is expected to continue into the future, particularly as opportunities for Greenfield housing on the Gold Coast become more limited,” the plan reads. “Kingscliff will be an important centre in this regard and will service the growth of the Tweed Coast’s network of villages.”

Housing affordability was a major concern from respondents with the final plan listing several mechanisms to assist with housing affordability. Additional policies and strategies have been included in the final plan which “will promote housing affordability by encouraging a greater mix of housing and highlighting local tools and strategies to encourage the delivery of affordable housing,” the plan reads. The plan states that new developments should contribute to affordable housing which is accessible to services, employment opportunities and public transport. Developers will receive bonus development provisions, where a percentage of affordable housing is included in a proposal and planning incentives or negotiated planning agreements will be utilised to encourage private investment in social and affordable housing. There will be reduced contributions or other development incentives to boost construction of secondary dwellings as alternative affordable housing and promotion of new caravan parks and manufactured home estates on unconstrained land in existing settlements and new land release areas. The plan will also encourage the preparation of local precinct plans and development of best practice guidelines for planning, designing and developing healthy built environments along with promoting sustainable urban design that reinforces the distinctive character of the North Coast. Land and housing supply will be monitored annually through a North Coast Housing and Land Monitor and development of rural residential land will be covered by policies that ensure these developments are appropriately located. New rural residential housing will not be permitted in the coastal strip, unless the is already zoned for this purpose, or is identified in a Department endorsed current or future local growth management strategy. This will enable sustainable use of the region’s sensitive coastal strip. Minister for Planning and Housing Anthony Roberts said Tweed Heads will be a major growth area on the North Coast. “The region’s cities – Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Lismore and Tweed Heads - will be vibrant cosmopolitan hearts, accommodating more than three-quarters of the region’s population growth over the next 20 years, as well as supporting critical jobs growth and health and education services,” he said. “New housing will be also be accelerated in other centres to maximise existing services, meet the community’s diverse housing needs and to improve housing affordability. “New release areas, including Cumbalum, Kings Forest, Cobaki and Thrumster will be new communities providing the North Coast with greater housing choice.” It is predicted by 2036, approximately one third on the North Coast’s population will be aged over 65. The plan identifies the need to provide housing options for the elderly with a range of housing choices including retirement villages, nursing homes and opportunities to modify existing

dwellings to enable occupants to age in place.

FIRE AND Rescue NSW (FRNSW) firefighters are urging Tweed residents to check their smoke alarms as they also change their clocks back an hour at the end of Daylight Saving on Sunday, April 2. FRNSW Acting Commissioner, Jim Hamilton said last year marked the 10th anniversary of smoke alarm legislation in NSW. “Due to dust, humidity and age, smoke alarms need to be replaced at least every 10 years,” he said. “When householders turn their clocks back at the end of Daylight Saving, we are also urging them to check whether their smoke alarms have reached their use-by date and, if they have, to replace them. “If your smoke alarm is less than 10 years old, it is still an opportune time to test it is working properly and change the batteries if it is battery-powered.” In NSW, all dwellings must have at least one working smoke alarm per level. FRNSW recommends having smoke alarms installed in all bedrooms and interconnected for maximum protection. Smoke alarms are also mandatory for all caravans, campervans, and other moveable dwellings where people sleep. Acting Commissioner Hamilton said only working smoke alarms help save lives. “A fire can take hold in just three minutes, filling your home with deadly smoke,” he said. “A working smoke alarm gives you vital seconds to get out before you’re overcome. “Stay out of harm, replace any out-dated smoke alarms and ReAlarm your home against fire ahead of winter.”

ANZAC Day 2017 – Lest we forget ANZAC Day, Tuesday 25 April 2017, marks the 102nd anniversary of the landing of ANZAC troops at Gallipolli and marks 100 years since 1917, one of the darkest years for Aussie troops. Throughout 1917, allied hopes of victory were continually dashed. Early on, the Germans withdrew to a new position: the Hindenburg Line. But here, as on the Marne, at Arras or in Flanders, appalling allied casualties mounted as they battered against these new defences. It was also during this year, the Americans joined the allied cause but the Russians were on the way out. Ultimately, both these events profoundly affected the course of the war.

Dr John Griffin, Secretary of the Tweed Heads and Coolangatta RSL Sub-Branch and Twin Towns Board Director, says ANZAC Day 2017 marks the centenary of five pivotal events of the First World War in 1917: the Battles of Broodseinde Ridge, Messines, Menin Road, Polygon Wood and Passchendale. “For our Aussie troops on the Western Front, 1917 was marred by bloody battles and terrible losses. It was the costliest year of the war,” said Dr Griffin. “These lives lost, along with those who have served in other conflicts and peacekeeping operations around the world, will be honoured and remembered at the Dawn Service at 6am and

the Main ANZAC Day Service at 11am at Chris Cunningham Park. “Local school students from Banora Point High School, Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School, Pacific Coast Christian College, Tweed River High School and St Joseph’s College will participate this year, reading presentations relating to these major battles fought during 1917.” Dr Griffin said that ANZAC Day Services have become iconic events on the Tweed and big crowds are expected to congregate as they have in previous years.

Last month, the Tweed Events Team welcomed more than 200 brides and grooms-to-be and their families when they opened the doors to Twin Towns’ spectacular wedding reception venues for the Wedding Open Day. Continued page 5

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au BOARD CHAIRMAN’S REPORT ANZAC Day Remembered “Lest we forget” From an Australian population of approximately five million, 417,000 enlisted in 1914, 332,000 served overseas, 152,000 were wounded and 61,000 didn’t return. The Gallipoli campaign commenced in early 1915 however in 1916, by the time of evacuation, 8,700 Australians had died. The Turkish descendants pay homage to the 86,000 Turks who were lost at Gallipoli defending their homeland against the Allied invasion. Despite the magnificent failure at Gallipoli, the successful advances in the Middle East and the terrible victory on the Western Front, our servicemen embodied the commitment to freedom, the spirit of adventure and the bonds of mateship that we hold to this day. Their values helped to forge our nation’s identity and their sacrifice has helped to ensure that to be an Australian is the greatest privilege the world has to offer. New Zealand, Britain, France and Canada all lost many of their own at Gallipoli and we cherish the bonds our nations forged in that terrible campaign. Realistically the aim is not to glorify war but to honour the values the ANZACs embodied in the most trying of conditions. The bonds that tie New Zealand and Australia together are as strong today as they were then, but there is no question they were formed on the battle fields of Gallipoli. On a giant monument at ANZAC Cove you may read the generous words of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Turkey’s Gallipoli hero, and later founder of the modern Republic of Turkey: “You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe

away your tears, your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well”. The youngest Australian soldier to die was aged 14 years and the oldest aged 57 years. A soldier’s letter home to family During November in 2016 I attended the Coffs Harbour Exservices Club (CEX) for their Armistice Day Memorial Services at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. There I listened to an amazing address from the grandson of Private Herb Cottee who, whilst serving in France, sent this letter home. After speaking to the family that day, with their approval I provide the letter that was read at the service. Private Herb Cottee writing to his sister Miss Pearl Cottee, from France on 9 September 1916 which says… You will have heard the good news of our advancing on the Somme, but as is only natural, it has cost us many brave fellows. What makes me feel so sad is reading the casualty list and seeing the names of all my platoon, either killed or wounded, with only one or two exceptions, and not only that alone, I have been talking to a Scotsman, one of the Highlanders who was at the Somme and saw our chaps (my battalion with them) go over and fight hand to hand with the Germans and to use his words he said, “The Australians will do him, they fairly ate them”. I cannot tell you all he told me. Oh God! It is too awful, but I am proud to belong to such an Army. I know their feelings when I went and saw them off, my heart yearned to go with them. I had only left them two days before and I had rode 20 miles on a bike to see those fine fellows go.

I arrived at their billets at 12 o’clock but they had to go at once so I just had an hour and how heartily they welcomed me back. When they saw me they wished I was coming, because I was considered the best bayonet fighter in my platoon, and when my officer came out and shook hands with me and said, “Are you coming with us?” I said, ah Sir, my heart is with you but there is more important work for me to do”, so I stood and watched them form up and march off with a hearty good-bye and good luck” as they passed me. So you can imagine it was with a sad heart when I turned my footsteps in the other direction. I knew in my own heart that it was the last time on earth I would ever see most of them again. A little further down the road I saw many more chaps I knew, one fellow in particular, I said: “Goodbye (Gundy)”, I used to call him. His name was Frank Robson. He was a fine big man about 15 stone and about 6’ 5” in height and I saw his name later as killed. They were men every one of them, had many failings I admit, but it is in danger and hardship where one finds out the real stuff a man is made of.

had to rush away for my gas helmet. There was a gas alarm and even now I am writing with my helmet alongside my arm as the wind is in their favour. And yet we are one and all determined to win and we will win. I cannot say how soon, God only knows (another big shell). The Germans shelled the town close to where I am the other evening. One shell killed four soldiers and two young girls, 16 and 18, and it was terrible - old women over 60 running around, girls fainting, little children crying. You do not know, you cannot imagine what it is like. I cannot bear to see women and children murdered like that. They know it is unsafe but where can they go? There is no place to go to, no money to move them and no living or means of a living, only with the soldiers, selling lots of things, washing our clothes. It is not pitiable? And all this trouble brought on by the Kaiser. There is no punishment great enough for such as he.

those 19 mines going up, but all your reading will never give you a true impression of how terrible they were. You have never seen a strong man cry like a baby, have you? I hate to see a man in that condition but one must feel sorry for them. I am on duty in a little while and although I cannot tell you what I am doing, rest assured I am doing very valuable work and have done enough for the whole of our family if I do no more. Remember me to all friends, and I hope ere this time next year we will meet again, but as always we will say, Thy will be done. Love to all. Your loving brother, H.E. “Lest we forget”. ANZAC Day is an opportunity to recognise the magnificent sacrifice our serviceman made so we may continue to live in the manner in which we are accustomed. Good health to all and I look forward to seeing you on ANZAC Day and around our clubs.

If I had gone with them, as I had done all along, perhaps you would have been a brother less ere this. I would have been with the rest of my brave comrades. We had a score to settle. I have often said and I have often heard my mates say, when one of us would be knocked out by a shell, and there we had to stay behind the parapet, there was many a vow registered that old Fritz would pay, such as this. “Wait until we get you on the run, you will pay for this”; and from all accounts I hear from different ones the debt has been paid. When I think of it, it is marvellous how I was taken away to this work. It was God’s will and some will say there is no God but I know there is. I have faced death a good many times out here, and will face it, and am facing it all the time and if it’s God’s will that I go then it’s for the best.

CLUBNEWS www.twintowns.com.au Continued from page 1 Lloyd, wife Emma and daughter Zara, 5, moved to the Gold Coast about six months ago and have settled happily into new lives that make the most of beach and bush. “What brought us here was the quality of life and the opportunities we see here for our daughter in terms of things like education and growth. Lloyd replaces Twin Towns long serving Executive Chef Kim Chilcott with a brief to usher in a new era for Twin Towns dining with two new restaurants set to open before year’s end. His new role as Executive Chef at Twin Towns follows three and a half years at the Adelaide Hilton overseeing day to day operations of all things food – banqueting, pastry making, restaurant, butchery and cold kitchen – while making sure meals got to guests as needed. “The similarity, I suppose, is in the size of operations. They’re

about the same. So is the drive for quality. Where ever you work it’s about getting a decent meal on the table, particularly when you have to deliver in high volume. We can feed thousands and thousands of people in a day.” Adelaide followed Dubai, a modern and massive city of glittering, skyscraping hotels where working for JW Marriott, Lloyd catered behind the scenes for sports events like the Dubai races and gigs headlined by entertainers like Mariah Carey. London offered different challenges: “Hours and hours spent on the Tube getting from A to B, so many hours underground getting to jobs that were inevitably indoors.” There, Lloyd worked at establishments that included Gravetye Manor, an English country house surrounded by woodland and The Honorary Society of Gray’s Inn, London’s oldest law firm.

“The focus was on old world traditions and food,” he said. “At Gravetye, we’d go out on weekends to shoot pheasants. We had cured salmon and game on the menu.” Still settling into the new appointment, Lloyd says he will remain true to club values – quality, flavorsome food for value – while searching for new ways to showcase local produce at the Club’s restaurants. “I have a long list of local suppliers I hope to meet,” he said. “I like the idea of getting out to the Gold Coast and northern NSW waterways and rainforests and sourcing produce. “I love the fresh fish aspect you have going on here and I’ll be looking at ways of getting products like sandpaper figs, lamington crays, bunya nuts and Warrigal greens collected from the dunes on to menus.”

Beer tasting – what a job!

ANZAC DAY LUNCHEON A Luncheon will be held at Twin Towns for Tweed Heads & Coolangatta RSL Sub-branch members, carers and invited guests from 12pm to 3.30pm. Tickets MUST be pre-purchased from the RSL Sub-branch. Cost is $20 per person.

As Twin Towns celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2017, Club News once again delves into the archives to uncover another story from the early years. This one is about a topic near and dear to many members’ hearts… Beer.

ORDERS OF DRESS FOR ANZAC DAY Members are requested to wear shirt with collar, slacks, shoes and medals. Coats optional. Dress code applies for the breakfast and after the March for patrons attending Twin Towns. Only suitably attired patrons will be admitted. Men: long pants or dress shorts, covered shoes and collared shirt. Women: smart, respectful attire, no shorts.

A constant conundrum at committee meetings leading to the opening of Twin Towns in 1957 was the selection of a brand of beer, and the committee’s tastes appeared to change with each and every meeting. Approaches were made to Queensland Breweries as well as NSW breweries, Tooths, Tooheys and Grafton.

‘seriously’), the chosen beers were Tooheys and Grafton on tap and various brands of bottled beer. Later in the year, Queensland breweries began supplying beer, albeit on a limited scale; enough perhaps to keep the Queenslandbased members happy. Cost of a five-ounce beer was 9d; 1/- for a seven ounce; 1/4d for a ten ounce; and 1/11d for a 15 ounce. Scotch was 2/- for a full nip. If you wanted milk with your spirits, that was an extra 3d.

What a long way the Club has come since those early days. Today, Twin Towns has over 200 beer taps with a range of 20 products across its venues. There are 36 brands of beer available in pack form and the Clubs offer traditional, Australian, international/imported, craft and boutique beers. Seems these days, Twin Towns has everyone covered, not just those from both sides of the border, but international visitors as well.

It was noted with regret at the Club’s first Annual General Meeting in March 1958 that Twin Towns was unable to obtain supplies of Queensland keg beer, which according to the minutes “Would have attracted more memberships from north of the border”.

APIA good times roll again After rocking the socks off fans at two sold-out shows in 2016, the national Apia Good Times Tour returns to Twin Towns for its fifth consecutive year, bringing together a cracking, once-in-alifetime line-up of Aussie music legends.

Wedding Open Day smiles Continued from page 1 The highlight on the day was the draw for the Dream Wedding Package, which saw newly-engaged local couple, Kiera Uren and David Muir, win $10,000 to spend on their venue hire and wedding reception at Twin Towns. The young local couple, who moved from Sydney to Tweed Heads just 12 months ago, only became engaged in February. Kiera said it was the first time they had attended a bridal expo. “We just came along to get a few ideas on how our wedding could look. We couldn’t believe it when my name was drawn from the barrel. “We were overwhelmed, in disbelief! “We haven’t set a date for our wedding but we are really looking forward to putting it all together when the time comes,” said Kiera. Congratulations to Kiera and David and thanks to all those that attended.

If you would like to know more about holding your wedding at Twin Towns, email weddings@ twintowns.com.au or phone Tweed Events on 1800 015 015.

MEN’S BOWLS President’s Day in March was a great success and it was encouraging to hear members’ favourable comments. What other bowls club gives their members a fine sit down meal and drinks? The Committee should be congratulated for its effort and the day was attended very well by 54 players. St Patrick’s Day was also well attended in remembrance of club stalwart, Pat Murphy. Once again, the Committee provided sandwiches after the game. Competition was keen for the prize money. Thanks to those members who attended the AGM. Last year’s committee was re-elected, unopposed, except foe Vic Muth who did not stand for election again. Many thanks, Vic, for your contribution to the club last year. Last year, four members passed away – VALE Pat Murphy, Jim Sullivan, Tom Simpson and Dennis Dettmer. We can only expect this with the aging group that we have. Roll up to bowls and get behind the committee for 2017. Good bowling Blackers

RUNNERS & WALKERS Our AGM on 15 March was well attended by Members. The following Office Bearers were elected: Neil Trewartha (President), Tony Waters (Vice President), Tracy Moschogianis (Secretary), Alistair Noble (Treasurer); Committee: Karen Milsom, Roslynne Aberhart, Diana Traversi and Mary West. At this stage, the Run Co-ordinator role has not been filled but this will be managed by the Committee.

Tuesdays will see more short sprint training and Thursdays will include hill training on alternate weeks. A lot of our members will be running in the GC Bulletin Fun Run on 23 April, completing distances of 5, 10 and 21.1km. Good luck to all participants.

MASTERS SWIMMING School carnivals are now over so it is back to ‘normal’ and swimming to our training programs under the skilful eye of our coach. The Nationals are coming up and will be held for a week at the Southport Aquatic Centre which will be the venue for the Commonwealth Games in 2018. Our AGM gave us the chance to thank the committee for the wonderful job they have done during the past twelve months and also to thank the many helpers. We especially welcome back Allaine, who will be our Fitness Director. Two of our swimmers excelled in their ‘first’ one hour swim. Leonie had a great result managing to swim 2725 metres and Freda added 25 metres to her last hour swim AND let’s remember we are all a year older, so she certainly has not gone backwards! Our social to the Tivoli Show at Twin Towns was great the best. The next outing is to see My Fair Lady at the Lyric Theatre in Brisbane. Why don’t you come and join us for Fun, Friendship and Fitness. Ding Dong

DIGGERS SWIMMING Our summer point score is drawing to a close and at the time of writing these swimmers are leading - 50 metres: Jim Newton, Toni Cameron, Warren Scottman. 100 metres: Guy Hawthorne, Neil Burden, Sue Deegenaars. Brace Relay: Bert Deegenaars, Melissa Fraser, Guy. Hawthorne. Points are very close in the 30 metres with Bert 50, Jim 48, Freda Shaw 47. Long-time member Freda would be the first to tell you that she is not a fast swimmer, however, she is very consistent in swimming to her nominated time. Jen Annett has been missing from the pool some Sundays when she was competing in a series of seven triathlons, and we were thrilled to hear she came second overall. We recently had our annual relay swim against the Twin Towns directors. Although they roped in some ringers, we kept up our tradition of being the victors, and we thank them for the shout. Bubbles

TENNIS April sees nearly 20 Club Banora members head over the seas to Norfolk Island to compete in the Annual Veteran’s Tournament from 15-25 April. Our blue shirts will be proudly worn. As well as competitive tennis, there will be sightseeing tours, shopping, adventures, birthday celebrations and lots of fun and relaxation. We are hoping for plenty of good tennis at Club Banora with the American Tournament being held on 1 April which is open to all District Clubs. Our AGM was held in March with an eager committee taking on another busy year with Twin Town’s 60th birthday celebrations and Club Banora’s

30th birthday. Committee details in the next edition. Mother’s Day celebrations will take place on Sunday 14 May with tennis and a special treat. Kerry

FISHING High levels of salinity and warm river temperatures have been slowing recent catches in the Tweed River. With little or no rain in months, the members are hoping for a deluge soon to flush the river system and bring back the life to the many species of fish that inhabit the Tweed. Whilst reported local catches were low, most impressive at the weigh-in last month was Rod and Garry with both catches combined totalling almost 5kg. The girls fought back with Tina, Leanne and Loretta finding a few whiting each and a nice sized bream to weigh-in. The catch of the day was monster 42cm pan sized Dart caught by Rod at a secret location off Cabarita Beach. With the introduction of the new committee for 2017, the Fishing Club members would like to acknowledge the past efforts of Bronwyn Nelder and Sam Groll. Both these former Committee members worked tirelessly over recent years to preserve the Club’s integrity and provide foundation for the privileges that Fishing Club members enjoy today and will continue to enjoy in future years. Good work guys! The next Fishing Club comp and BBQ will be Sat Club members for fishing and crabbing. Twin Towns Fishing Club is always looking for new members. Go to www.twintownsfishingclub.com for updates or call club President Rod on 5524 1160 or Treasurer Ferdi on 0414 812 907. Pisces

GOLF Thank you to members for their strong support of the Golf Section AGM. All golfers are appreciative of the contribution made by retiring Secretary, Penny Martlew. Much appreciated Penny. The Captains ask that members are especially careful to fill their divots as the low growth time is drawing near. Please give extra attention to divots on the Par 3 tees and assist their survival during winter. Competition fields continue to be near maximum, particularly on Wednesday and Saturday and members are reminded of the importance of cancelling a tee time once it is clear that playing will not be possible. Failure to fulfil a tee time booking is unacceptable and the Men’s Captain advises that he is now writing to members who are a ‘No Show’. Club Banora will again be well represented in district pennant competition and the Club wishes all our representatives good golfing. President Ken

American comedian and ventriloquist David Strassman lands at Twin Towns in May, along with a brand new show, iTedE, and a renegade band of puppets you wouldn’t want to bump into on a dark night. If you think you haven’t met any of Strassman’s characters, think back to the Nineties TV show, Hey Hey It’s Saturday, and you might recall the ‘cute as a button’ Ted E. Bare.

and pestering. To Ted E. Bare, however, negative attention is better than none at all. Chuck Wood is angrier than the average teenager. Seems he suffers from PS, (Pinocchio Syndrome) and like most PS sufferers, wishes someday to become a “real boy”. It kills him to think that he’s only a puppet,

made of wood and wire, and uses this weakness to gain sympathy and trust from those around him. For the most part though, he’s a leering, foul-mouthed sociopath who spits, swears and projectile-vomits over people without warning. But his main point of demarcation from other teenagers is that

Chuck is a dummy. For the audience, it’s easy to forget that it’s a one-man show and even easier to forget that these aren’t real characters – they’re puppets! Strassman’s skill has been enhanced his ability to create astounding mechanical and robotic devices that make his puppets seem like live, thinking, talking, autonomous creatures. So, do his lips move, is his mouth open, are there ripples in his neck when his puppets talk? How does Strassman get an ‘adults only’ crowd to listen intently to a bear, a beaver or an alien? Book now for this jaw-achingly funny show to find out.

These days Ted E. is cuter than ever. But really, there’s another side to him. He’s adept at gaining sympathy and affection and has the ability to fabricate lies to fulfil his basic needs. Because Ted E. is fearful and gullible, he loves to assume the role of “victim” and uses his suffering to get attention.

ITedE, Twin Towns Showroom, Friday 12 May at 7pm. Tickets are $59. iTedE is rated MA. Children 12 to 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. No children under 12 admitted.

Ted E.’s best friend and worst enemy is Chuck Wood. Ted E. admires Chuck and yearns for his attention, which usually consists of teasing

Visions of Australia

STUDENTS FROM Mt St Patrick College were busy rehearsing all day last Sunday, March 26, for an amazing new stage performance called “All Shook Up” and featuring music by the great Elvis Presley. Set in 1955, All Shook Up is a new musical comedy that takes place somewhere in middle America. The story follows one girl’s dream and a surprise visit from a mysterious leatherjacketed, guitar-playing stranger who helps a small town discover the magic, romance and power of rock ‘n’ roll. From early indication the students are set to impress with the production including a cast of 55 students plus 12 backstage students that assist with sound, lighting, projections and set, and accompanied by

a live band of 20 students and community members. Among the 24 songs featured in the score are classics like “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Love Me Tender,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and of course the title tune. The Weekly met with the more than 70 students involved in the production as well as director Des James and producer Kaitlyn Rennes-Nadal, to get a photo of the dress rehearsal. Students said the story involved several love triangles and 11 lead characters. But the sad news is the show will only be performed three times during May. All Shook Up will take place at the Gibey Centre, Queensland Road, on May 3,5 and 6 only, bookings (only) via www.mursclism. catholic.edu.au.

Expect wild hilarity from comedian Dusty Rich

Local News 35

Talking

FILMS th Mia

DUSTRY RICH, the wild man of South African comedy, is decribed by fans as a “sharp, freewheeling and electrifing comedian” and he’s coming to Kingcliff in early April. Rich shot to fame for the off the wall style of his shows, for throwing the rehearsed, practised stand up format out the window and replacing it with the fire and ice, rollercoaster of continual spontaneous improvisation and crowd interaction. No two shows are the same with Rich on stage, in fact no two minutes are the same!. Self claimed space-warrior riding a living volcano with one hand whipping the reins and the other gingerly fingering the lava-hot truth that flows freely down all sides – smothering the world in comedy magma. His meteoric rise in the Comedy Industry is due to the fact he had learnt to ride meteors at a very young age – he is like a mind meteor, smashing through the atmosphere of mediocre and mundane. Each show is unpredictable and hilarious, leaving audiences gasping for air. Dynamic and fluid Rich is a master of crowd interaction, flinging ideas around the room like an orca with a pack of baby seals, Rich’s setup and delivery shows the experience he has gained by following and supporting internationally renowned, Trevor Noah for 4 years, Rich’s wild and unpredictable improvisation ranges from stories of growing up poor and skinny in post-apartheid South Africa, the perils of relationships, embracing his own ‘crazy’, marrying far above his means and moving to Australia. Truly original, his style is manic and impactful. The mystical art of comedy bursts through his veins (and mouth) coupled with his razor sharp wit, taking no prisoners. Dusty Rich is, without question, an unnaturally naturally talented comedic anomaly. Catch Dusty Rich at Kingy Comedy at Kingscliff Bowls Club, April 13, doors open at 7:30am. With MC, the hilariously off beat Mandy Nolan and support by the warmly self deprecating Jazmine Fairburn.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY’S ANIMATED FILMS

76969

The forthcoming school holidays will bring the usual bonanza of animated films that appeal to both kids and their parents – sometimes even more to parents than kids..! There are some franchises that work like a clock in that they are consistently delivering the happy experience craved by the excited kids and their kids-at-heart parents - or most often grandparents looking after the grandchildren while mum and dad are at work. A good example is the story of the Smurfs; delightful creatures living in a microcosm full of adventures, which are very popular with the younger kids. In The Lost Village – third film of the franchise – Smurfette and her friends will be trying to find the Lost Village indicated on a mysterious map. The Lego Batman Movie is the second film based on the Lego properties and capitalizes on both the toys’ popularity and the charisma of the beloved character of Batman. The film includes several references to previous Batman movies, cartoons and comics and features also characters from other notable franchises and movie series, like Superman, Dracula, King Kong etc. which will appeal to kids of all ages. The voices of the actors who interpret the animated characters are often a big draw-card for the films, and this has never been truer than in The Boss Baby. The film protagonist is a very unusual baby: he wears a suit, behaves like a boss and speaks with the unmistakable voice of Alec Baldwin…! Film critics are all in agreement about the fact that his voice makes Baby into a Boss, with all the consequences that this entails…

However, it is envisaged that the assessment and approval timelines for the SSD application will extend well beyond the expiration of the trial period,” the assessment said. “The Falls Festival Byron 2017 is currently unable to proceed under the trial period, as its operating dates include 1 and 2 January 2018. “In addition, booking of international artists for Splendour in the Grass 2018 is well underway, and planning for Falls Festival Byron 2018 and Splendour in the Grass 2019 will commence this year.” According to the Parkland’s EA, there has been strong compliance with the conditions of their approval, with problems encountered at earlier festivals such as traffic and noise rectified. “Analysis of the performance of the trial events to date indicates that all of these environmental aspects are being managed generally in accordance with the applicable approval conditions and performance criteria, with recent Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival Byron events achieving between 98 per cent to 100 per cent compliance with the approval conditions and performance criteria,” the document read. “Whilst some minor and temporary nonconformances have been identified during some events, these have been quickly rectified, and none have led to significant or unacceptable

environmental impacts.” Executive Director of Key Sites and Industry Assessments, Anthea Sargeant, said the existing approvals allow up to three events (up to a total of 10 days) each year, including one large scale event with up to 35,000 people in attendance. “If approved, this proposal would extend the trial period for a further 20 months until August 2019,” Ms Sargeant said. “Community consultation is an important part of the planning process and the applicant will have to respond to the feedback we receive. “The music festival is attended by locals and people from all over Australia and the public exhibition period is an opportunity for people to share their views and have their voices heard.” The Parklands site has a total area of approximately 259 hectares, of which approximately 106 hectares (41 per cent) comprises cleared area used for events, and

153 hectares (59 per cent) comprises vegetated areas (and waterbodies) used for biodiversity management The Parklands is also looking to expand the site with Stage three of the concept plan including the development of a conference centre and cultural centre which will require separate development consent. The conference centre would be able to host conferences for up to 180 people, and have a floor area of approximately 500 square metres. There will also be overnight accommodation in the form of tent, cabin and motel unit style accommodation units and be for up to 60 guests. The proposal to extend the trial period for the cultural events site at North Byron Parklands is on public exhibition until April 26.

THE BYRON Parklands who host Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival have applied to extend the trial period of their planning approval to 2019, including events with up to 50,000 patrons. The two festivals have been held at the site for the last four years as part of a trial period under the approvals granted by the Planning Assessment Commission in 2012. The approval was subject to a five year trial period, which expires at the end of the year. The current approvals allow up to three events per year up to a total of 10 event days per year and up to 35,000 people in attendance. The North Byron Parklands has submitted a Preliminary Environmental Assessment to the Department of Planning and Environment seeking approval for ongoing events after 2017, including events with up to 50,000 patrons. On January 18, the Department of Planning issued Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) for the proposal meaning it may not be approved before the end of the trial period. Parklands is proposing to modify the existing concept plan and project approval to extend the trial period dates by 20 months, to August, 31 2019 with no changes to either the concept plan or project approval including event days and patron numbers. This will allow the operation of Falls Festival, 2017 and 2018 and Splendour in the Grass 2018 and 2019. The North Byron Parklands must address in their proposal strategic context, traffic and access, social impacts, bush fire impacts, flooding and incident management, biodiversity, noise and vibration, heritage,

38 NRL Tipping Competition Thursday March 30 - 2017

Well now Des is in the firing line. Why would you want to be an NRL coach? Another great weekend of footy but all the talk is about how long Hasler is now going to last at the Dogs. I find this interesting in that Des has coached their five years and made the finals every year and two grand finals, admittedly losses. However, there footy is one dimensional with minimal flair, forwards dominated and not real stars on the horizon. He has tried to tinker with it a bit and it hasn’t worked because they are so used to doing what they’ve always done – that means you’ll get what you’ve always got. Des coached me at Manly in early 2000’s and a more humble and passionate bloke you

will never meet, he can coach and coach well, just maybe he needs and change and so do the Dogs. The Roosters and Melbourne continue to flex their muscle at the top with the surprise packet being the Dragons, maybe Paul McGregor can coach also. DCE has kept the knockers at bay for a bit longer with two quality performances and maybe Barrett can coach also. I think they did get lucky against an ordinary dogs side and I’m still not convinced Manly are top 8 material. The Broncos snuck home against a very good Raiders side and I think they are going really well although 2/4 as I believe the Raiders will feature for sure. Penrith piled on the points as to be expected. Fair wraps around Cowboys back rower Coen Hess and deservedly so. 8 tries in 13 games and a real

powerhouse, he has Origin written all over him that’s for sure. A great round of footy coming up with the pick of the games Melbourne v Penrith. The bookies see it as an easy round with only one real close game. I am enjoying the Thursday night footy – kicks the weekend’s games off that little bit earlier. The NRRRL gets underway this weekend with the Mustangs hosting Casino at Sir Stan Sercombe oval kicking off at 12pm with the Luke Covell coached 18’s. On a sporting tangent good luck to the locals (my Dad the mayor of Mooball included) and Matt Dunn Racing with their horse (and favourite) Perfect Dare in the Country Championships finals in Sydney on Saturday. Half of Murwillumbah are going to Royal Randwick on Saturday for what promises to be a great day. All the best guys. See you at the footy Quinny

40 Local News Thursday March 30 - 2017

The People You Meet... with Fran Rabbitts IT WAS a very proud moment for Dawn Walker’s family and friends who were in the NSW Parliament to witness her inaugural speech as the Greens’ new member of the NSW Legislative Council. My husband and I were among the supporters who flew to Sydney to witness another turning point in Dawn’s life. Firstly, as she took the floor, she acknowledged the original landowners, the Gadigal people of Eora Nation and then spoke of her journey leading her to this time. Dawn, with husband Mike and their three children, live in Fingal Head because of its small village atmosphere and relatively unspoilt environment with areas of littoral forest. This preserved character is due to earlier residents, indigenous and nonindigenous joining together as one to preserve and protect it from many developments including the Ocean Blue Resort Development. Their plan was to replace the forests and wetlands with a Gold Coast style hotel, luxury marina and town houses. I live there also, and remember the developers trawling the streets with a bag of cash, offered to us in streets essential to their plan. It was a wakeup call for others to be vigilant in the protection of coastal remnants of littoral forests and Dawn

“Good on you Dawn!”

said “it was very powerful for me to come into such a community”. Dawn spoke confidently of her journey that led to her standing before us as the Greens’ member to represent the people of New South Wales in the NSW Legislative Council. She was born in Victoria and recalled her special relationship with her father who instilled in her wisdom and love of the environment. “My Dad, when he was young travelled the outback jackarooing, fencing etc and taught me how to work with the environment and not fight against it,” she said. “When I was 11 years old, I was devastated when a much-loved piece of urban bushland was being cleared for a freeway and Dad said ‘no point sobbing in your bedroom do something about it!’ And he helped me write to our local member raising my concerns.” This advice she said has directed her path ever since. Her career always evolving, Dawn started as a graduate recruit with the Federal Department of Employment, Education and Training which later became the CES (Centrelink). Her working career included policy adviser in the State Office of Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development. Another position she held was with a TAFE program which encouraged more women into traineeships usually reserved for males. Dawn is passionate about supporting the TAFE system to train the young for the future and assisting women into non-traditional roles through its Infrastructure Skills Legacy Program. Of TAFE she said, “we need a

vibrant TAFE system to train our young people in the skills required for our renewable energy future with jobs in development, implementation and maintenance of wind and solar industries”. Another important issue for her is the continuing destruction of species of our native forests. “When the threatened species legislation was enacted in NSW in 1995, there were around 700 plant and animal species listed,” she said. “Twenty years later we’re one species away from 1,000 species listed as threatened. It’s a travesty and I pledge to you that I will continue to be a strong voice, both inside and out of Parliament, for our forests, eco systems and other wild places. “The National Parks Association concluded last years that the Regional Forest Agreements have enabled wholesale destruction of public forests with impunity. “I will be joining the experts by calling on the government to end logging in our public native forests once and for all.” There is much ahead of Dawn Walker. Under her radar is the protection of our land, water and forests, the encouragement of women to enter politics, more Aboriginal representation in our political system, a clean energy economy, initiating immediate action on our climate emergency, protecting us from coal seam gas, exposing PFC contamination, addressing social inequality and the rise of right wing populism.

Are snakes out of control?

MURWILLUMBAH LOCAL and rabbit owner Mary Ross visited The Weekly recently to express her fear that snakes are reaching “plague proportions” across the Tweed Shire and she believes they “ought to be culled”. Mrs Ross also visited with some of the beloved pet rabbits, who she admits have taken over her backyard and at times the house. “I’ve seen several deadly snakes around the house and in the backyard,” she said. Although Mrs Ross (pictured below) acknowledges that snakes play an important role in nature’s ecosystem, she said snakes are “not vegetarian”. “Time to think sensible about the snake invasion in question,” she said. “They are not refugees, they are riders on the storm.” Meanwhile, Murwillumbah Vet Clinic on Queen Street has reported a sharp rise in snake bites and sightings recently. The clinic had a sign placed out the front saying they had six snake bites on animals in the past seven days last week. One of the staff said among the bites were several venomous snakes including a King Brown. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think snake numbers are particularly high this year? Send us your thoughts of pictures to editor@theweekly.net.au

Still good Whiting along the beaches and a few Tailor at the end of the day. Mud crabs have drifted down enjoying the fresh water in the rivers. Creek mouths are the best places for pots and some good results have been achieved. Mackerel have finally arrived in numbers offshore, though the dangerous bar stopped most from accessing them earlier this week. Use at least 20lb gear and hard body lures between 6 and 12 inches long – Halcos are perfect. Troll with those or dead baits around the bait schools that have been showing up or near the closer, shallow reefs. The reefs further out off Kingscliff and Tweed have been producing Dolphin Fish and Yellowfin are about off Nine Mile. Some Tuskfish and Squire are being caught off Kirra, along the 32s and Squid being caught off Palmy.

Common Misconceptions -Alcohol may make your skin feel warm, but this apparent heatwave is deceptive. A nip or two actually causes your blood vessels to dilate, moving warm blood closer to the surface of your skin, making you feel warmer temporarily. At the same time, however, those same veins pumping blood closer to the skins surface causing you to lose core body heat. In other words, alcohol wont warm you up. -Despite the tiny eyes and nocturnal lifestyle, none of the roughly 1,100 bat species are blind. -Handling a baby bird won’t make its mother reject it. Most birds have a very poor sense of smell, so in most cases are unable to even notice human scent on baby bird.

Featured Business

Air Conditioning

Would you like to learn how to confidently cook recipes that are gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, grain free or raw? How about cooking to improve your immunity, heal leaky gut, IBS or cater for different dietary needs and health conditions? We’re your “wholesome tarts” and are here to serve you! You will have fun and learn more than a trick or two along the way as our hand-on approach in the kitchen allows you to eat and enjoy what you cook. You will be taught by professionals with extensive industry experience who will help you gain confidence with healthy, medicinal dishes that taste amazing and are easy for you to reproduce. Linda Molloy and Melissa Leistra love teaching. They are both locals to the Tweed and have years of combined experience, teaching and cooking with whole foods. They have teamed up to expand Wholesome Tart. Healthy eating is meant to be delicious! Linda utilises simple, traditional approaches to health such Chinese medicinal herbs for specific health conditions and Ayurvedic cooking. Currently specialising in natural gourmet cooking, Linda said she loves creating recipes for the FODMAP diet. “My passion lies in educating people of the benefits of a wholefood lifestyle while sharing simple cooking techniques and organised ways of implementing a wholefood lifestyle,” she said.

Agricultural Handyman

Melissa is a busy mum of three girls, a wife and a teacher. As her daily routine requires her to leave early, get home late and juggle the responsibilities of running a household, she knows all too well the need for quick, healthy meals. But, while living a self-sustainable lifestyle off the grid in the sleepy hills behind Uki, Melissa also appreciates slow, seasonal, sustainable food and entertaining from her slow combustion wood stove is a passion.

A sacriﬁcial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efﬁciently working system and a costly replacement. Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE. “REMEMBER YOU CAN’T LOSE, NO ANODE REPLACEMENT NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty ~ Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years!

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes, filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today, While thinking of the many things, we didnt’ get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart

POLICE BEAT Witnesses sought after Speedster Car flips onto roof at Tweed Heads Crazy driver nabbed along with his Another fire at Terranora Country 200 Seadoo theft Tweed Heads West South mates following high speed chase Club TWEED POLICE are investigating the theft of Seadoo 200 Speedster watercraft from a Tweed Heads West address on Saturday, March 11. Although police did not mention the value, the 200 Speedster is slightly more than your average jet ski. A late model 200 Speedster will set you back about $50,000 and around $20,000 for earlier models. Officers, from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command, said it was around 6.30pm when several witnesses observed a white Nissan Patrol hook up the boat and trailer before driving off. “The boat trailer did not have registration plate displayed as it had only just been registered and the owner had not had a chance to attach the plates,” a police statement reads. Police also supplied the below image as an example. The description of the stolen boat is the same as the picture below. If any member of the community has any knowledge of the vehicle or its whereabouts they can contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or Tweed Heads police on 07 55360999.

POLICE ALLEGE the driver of a vehicle that flipped onto its roof on the Pacific Motorway at Tweed Heads South on Saturday, March 25 was under the influence of alcohol. The accident occurred at around 4.20pm between the Darlington Drive and Minjungbal Drive exits. Police said in a statement the “motor vehicle had lost control and impacted with the concrete barriers causing it to flip onto its roof.” The driver was breath tested at the scene and returned an extremely high reading. He was taken to The Tweed Hospital for a blood alcohol test and only suffered minor injuries. Tweed Heads Firefighters along with Banora Point Fire Station Firefighters attended the accident and cleaned a minor oil/petrol spill with a hydrocarbon absorbent. Police are waiting for the results of the blood test before charges are laid. As a result of the accident there were major traffic disruptions for a period of one-and-ahalf hours. Diversions were put in place to alleviate the congestion.

A MAN who led Tweed Police on a high speed chase has been charged following a pursuit along the Pacific Highway west of Pottsville last Friday, March 24. Police said it was about 11am when officers from the Highway Patrol Command sighted a Victorian registered Holden Commodore allegedly travelling above the speed limit on the Pacific Highway at Cudgera Creek, west of Pottsville. “A pursuit was commenced when the driver of the Holden allegedly failed to stop and accelerated the car to speeds in excess of 160km/h,” police said. “The pursuit was terminated by police due to public safety concerns. “A short time later, the Holden was located unattended on the Clothiers Creek exit ramp on the M1 Motorway.” Following inquiries, about 20 minutes later, officers stopped three men in a Suzuki sedan in Murwillumbah. “A 32-year-old man from Tweed Heads was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station. He was charged with police pursuit – not stop (‘Skye’s Law’), driving in a dangerous manner, driving unlicensed, driving unregistered and uninsured vehicle, driving with unauthorised number plates and breach of bail,” police said. The man was refused bail to appear at Tweed Heads Local Court today (Saturday 25 March 2017). But it didn’t stop there for the driver’s mates including the driver of the Suzuki, who was also issued a Field Court Attendance Notice for drive while disqualified and the passenger was arrested for possessing a prohibited drug.

TWEED HEADS Firefighters were called to extinguish a deliberately lit fire at the old Terranora Country Club last Sunday, March 26. Firefighters said they often attend fires at this property which are usually deliberately lit even though there is security fencing surrounding the building. “It’s a shame to see the state of the property now compared to it’s glory days in the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s,” Tweed Firefighters said in a statement. “The latest fire involved a large amount of rubbish and old building materials and was extinguished in about 45 minutes.”

Rugby Union bursts back on the Tweed scene RUGBY UNION made its long-awaited return to the Tweed during March with the Casuarina Rugby Club bursting onto the scene with a talented senior’s side and the Gentlemen of Murwillumbah making their return to the field after a year away. Casuarina Beach Rugby Club hosted a special club launch for the Barbarians on Saturday, March 20, and also played their first game against the Lennox. The Barbarians showed they are a team to watch this year after only recently forming, but despite their efforts Lennox walked away with the win 29(Lennox) to 11 (Casuarina). The club was also supported by Union stars Elton Flately and Adam Wallace-Harrison, who spoke during the launch event and encourage the new club. Meanwhile, the Gentlemen of Murwillumbah played host to their first trial game of 2017 on Saturday, March 18, against a formidable opponent in the Hinterland Celtics Rugby Club, who hail from the Gold Coast District Rugby Competition. Gentlemen spokesperson and player Josh Harman-Cullen said The Celtics were beginning their 10-year anniversary

season and they play a large part in the Rugby life of Murwillumbah coach, Graham Dodge, as he helped form the Hinterland Celtics all those years ago. “Dodge came to the Bananas as a player/coach in 2015 and decided this year to remain with the Murwillumbah Bananas as coach, to help rebuild the club this year,” Mr Harmen-Cullen. “It was only fitting he had the opportunity to have a “shot” at his former club mates in a friendly. “The game was played in three 20 minute 3rds to allow players plenty of rest in what was a muggy afternoon. “Bananas kicked off to the Celtics in what would be a brutal 20 minutes of constant defence for the new Murwillumbah player group, who were playing together for the first time, against a team with years of rugby experience. “Backed by some very capable size, the Celtics ran riot in the opening 20 minutes. In the second twenty minutes of play, the bananas tightened their defence around the ruck, allowing no room for the opposition forwards. “They spread wider across the pitch to cover the rampaging celtics backline. With three Japanese visitors, Taichiro, Yugo and Tomo (whom the Bananas players nicknamed “the

ninjas”) playing in the backs, the Bananas held the Celtics scoreless in the second twenty minutes. “The beginning of the 3rd and final 20 minutes of play was even better for the bananas, as they had much more possesion due to the hard work up the middle from the likes of Shaun Arndell, Liam Payne, Nick Reeve and James Lacey. “Maintaining possession and making it past the gain line. The backs were able to then use their speed and ball skills to find holes in the tiring Celtics. “Eventually this led to one of the three Ninjas, Yugo, stepping and out-running the Celtics to score the Bananas only try of the night. “Taichiro and Tomo also had great effect with ball in hand, being almost untouchable due to their incredible footwork.” Unfortunately, they were unable to capitalise on these skills and the Bananas went down in an unknown margin. Mr Harman-Cullen It was great to see both sides join together at the end of the encounter, sharing words of support and encouragement. “Murwillumbah Bananas would like to thank the Hinterland Celtics for staying around and bonding with the Bananas players and supporters post game.”

New champions emerge

Bowls Notes with Judy Tuckey

WEATHER CONDITIONS over the last few weeks have certainly been frustrating for all our bowlers, both genders, with matches partly played and others completely washed out. However, new champions have emerged from games that were finalised. Kingscliff’s Ladies B Grade Singles final between Jenny Greenbank and Marie Drewett was a tough work out for both contenders. The girls matched each other, end for end, up to the 15th end when Marie picked

up a big four, then held Jenny at bay and carried on scoring to take the title with a decisive margin. Cudgen Leagues Men’s Triples final resulted in Frans Pieterse (S), Gary Tobin and Garry Pickett overtaking Barry Henry (S) Darby Lowe and Harry Highfield to claim victory with a solid margin. Mullumbimby Men’s B.C. has now completed their Fours Championship with Jeff Morgan (S), Michael Burke, Mark Brown and Mike Nicholls challenging Mark Hogan (S), George McKenzie, Bob Rose and Greg

Moroney in the final. In a very tight low scoring game that could have gone either way, team Hogan eventually got the upper hand on the seventeenth end and went on to close the game with three shots up. Ocean Shores inaugural Saturday arvo Open Pairs, sponsored by Tony Carsburg, proved to be a very successful exercise. Formatted with 3 games of 9 ends with attractive prize money on offer, the event was enjoyed by all participants. Plans are afoot to include this comp on the calendar as a regular event after the completion of the men’s pennant season. So, keep your eyes and ears open for the next game aimed at being in late May. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

HOCKEY with Richard Phillip

The Division One Men played the finals of the “Supper Nines” on Saturday at Murwillumbah with good results for most of the Tweed Teams Their only Loss was the Grand Final as Burleigh Defeated Kingscliff 1-0 in extra Time. In the supper nine’s with 9 players per team the game is so open you would expect large scoring especially as the rules state you have to maintain 2 players above the half way line at all times so you are only defending with a maximum of 7 players. But when teams are of equal standard the game just flows on with great open passes by both the Burleigh and Kingscliff sides with numerous shots on goal but both teams had desperate scrambling defence to save the day. The full time score was a 0-0 score line. So Sudden death extra time with 5 players on the field for both teams. This was Kingscliff undoing as the same rules apply 2 players cant come back over the half way line, well in the opening seconds of extra time Kingscliff players got over excited and they did come back over the half way line to defend which gave Burleigh a free hit and why Kingscliff were wondering what happen a quick free hit and Burleigh were off and with 4 attackers on 2 fenders scored the winning goal whilst Kingscliff were off guard.

Sh ting Hoops WOMEN’S LEAGUE

Everyone has been eagerly awaiting the Preliminary Final clash between Steelers and KLAS Hornets. Hornets only entered the League this season with not one of their team knowing each other. Steelers have had a similar roster for many seasons, so who prevailed? Steelers! By a single point, 27-26. The game started very slowly with both sides cautious, but come the 2nd quarter and it was definitely 2 teams fighting out for a Grand Final spot. Next Monday come down to see the best of MBA Women’s League when Young Guns take on Steelers in what should be an epic match.

MEN’S LEAGUE

Regular season fixtures continued on Tuesday night. I game 1, the undefeated TVAC came up against Rockets in a top of the table clash. In a close one, Rockets cam out on top with a 33-31 wins Game 2 and Wolves faced off against Rakhoons. Both sides have struggled this season, Wolves facing numerous injury to key players and Rakhoons in their first season

Marie Drewett - Kingscliff’s B Grade Singles Champion

The second match saw Waratah Bobcats go into extra Time over Mudgerabah and this time the Tweed Team got the job done with a fine goal to win then Casuarina Sharks won 5-0 over Labrador and Murwillumbah won 5-0 over Roosters to see Tweed Win the Association Cup. These games are great to watch, open, clean, fast and very little whistle. The Two Women’s matches also played on Saturday saw last years Grand Final teams Waratah Falcons and Casuarina go head to head in a very high standard game as Casuarina got the first goal in the first half , but from then on the Waratah machine got into play and they attacked and had numerous shots on goal but failed to score until midway in the second half when they managed 2 goals to hit the lead but only to see Casuarina score a back line running goal to equalise to have the final score 2-2 in a great game Kingscliff Women had to work over time to defeat the Mullumbimby Suns 3-0 as they had numerous shots on goal which saw their first goal by Ciara Laybutt and then 2 more to Erica Wells as the Mullum girls scrabbled in defence lead by young goal keeper Jo Hunter and Bec Templeman but with limited attack just couldn’t find the net even with strong games by Sharni Mott and Danni Martin . The Suns are still building rapport between all with new players and should be a force in the future.

just starting to find their way. And it was Rakhoons who emerged with their first win, 47-17.

AUSSIE HOOPS (5-10 YEARS)

It was week 7 of the 8 week program on Monday afternoon. I was fortunate to witness last week the incredible improvement and ball handling skills this group have learned so far this term. We will continue the Aussie Hoops program in term 2. Details on how to register will be available toward the end of next week on the MBA Facebook page “Murwillumbah Basketball Association.”

YOUTH LEAGUE (11-16 YEARS)

This term has been a revelation for this group. Numbers are very strong, the interest from each and every one in learning the game has been simply amazing. This just one week to run before the holidays, we will run 2 hours of games next week.

SPORTING SCHOOLS PROGRAM

Term 2 is filling fast as we welcome yet another school to the program, Duranbah Public. The interest among schools has been extraordinary. With holidays just around the corner, it’s time for your school to consider basketball for next term. Until next week, Happy Ballin’

Eight Qualifying

Spots Up For Grabs at QLD Sailor Jerry Surftag

Tapped in to the waves

with Terry ‘Tappa’ Teece D’Bah’s Women’s Team Start Title Defence on Home Turf Boardriding Clubs from Coffs Harbour to Noosa will be looking for a top 8 finish at this weekend’s Sailor Jerry Surftag QLD Qualifier to advance to the Australian Championships. The third and final qualifying event of this year’s series will be held at Duranbah Beach with 16 Men’s teams and 6 Women’s teams expected to compete. With the Sailor Jerry Surftag Australian Championships scheduled to be held on Sydney’s Northern Beaches in May, competition will be fierce for a top 8 finish in the Men’s and top 3 finish in the Women’s Division. Surftag has not been held on the Gold Coast since 2014 so it will be interesting to see how all the Boardriding Clubs perform in this years Series. Between 2001 and 2014, Snapper Rocks Surfriders won 6 QLD Surftag Titles with Kirra Surfriders winning 4, Le-Ba (Lennox Ballina) x 2 and D’Bah x 1. This weekend’s event will be the first time the Women’s Division has been held at a QLD Qualifier with the host club D’Bah Boardriders the defending Australian Women’s Champions. The D’Bah team includes two sets of twins, Amiya and Brodie Doyle will surf alongside Audrey and Grace Styman-Lane with Freya Plumm the fifth member of the team. Sailor Jerry Surftag Contest Director Steve Harrison is excited about the expansion of the Surftag Series with the Women’s Division included at all events. “Women’s surfing at club level has grown massively over the past few years and we have seen some amazing

performances in the Women’s Division so far this year,” Harrison said. “It’s great to see Sailor Jerry supporting grass roots surfing for both Men and Women with a record $20,000 prize money on offer for the Women’s teams.” The men’s will be hard fought with Queensland Boardriders Battle Champions, Burleigh Boardriders looking to lock away another state title, but Tweed clubs Snapper, Dbah, Cabaret, and Kingscliff will be looking to get a spot in the National final. Conditions will be a wait and see with the ex-cyclone Debbie moving through the area over the next few days. Organisers will be hoping that it is not a case of “Debbie Does Dbah” and there are waves small enough to surf!

Margaret River and North Point to Host WSL

All the action is in the west from this week with the Margaret River Drug Aware Masters. North Point a slabbing right hander looks like being the venue for the first few days, and already the boys and girls have been ripping in. The swell looks awesome for the whole waiting period, and it looks like John John Florence may be the man to beat, the bloke doesn’t mind a big slabbing left or right hander. Like John John, Jordy Smith loves surfing in Western Australia, and they both don’t mind a massive air. I think we will be seeing some amazing surfing going down. Mick Fanning and Parko have been in good form leading into the event, and Josh Kerr is another bloke who is really at home in some big slabs. There is also the option of surfing “The Box” at Margaret

River as well, and it will be interesting to see if the women are sent out at the Box, and if they do I would say that Stephanie Gilmore, Tyler Wright, and Carissa Moore will be the ladies to watch. I would say those 3 firm as favourites for this event regardless. The action started yesterday and the swell is predicted to run through the entire waiting period, so it will be pumping, and I would say the event should be wrapped up before this time next week. I reckon there will be some great surfing to check out. Being in Western Australia the action starts from around 10.00 am, and goes through until about 8pm at night, so great for some after work surf viewing. Until next week…. I’ll catch you in the waves….
