Round House service station approved

Court addresses flooding fears

The court heard that Council’s town planners were satisfied the service station can be constructed to deal with floods.

“The Applicant prepared a finegrained site-specific flood model as part of its application,” the judgement reads.

“The assessment undertaken by the Council concluded that there is negligible change in the duration of inundation due to the proposed development.”

Council also withdrew its contention over potential environmental impacts from contamination following a report prepared on behalf of the applicant that outlined the management of dispensing and storage of petroleum products.

The service station will be built to Council’s design flood level of 6.1 metres and will be required to meet certain conditions such as using materials not susceptible to water damage below the flood level, flood free storage for pollutants and ensuring underground fuel storage tanks, piping, vents and bowsers can withstand flooding. It should be noted that this year’s flood, the highest on record, saw the Tweed River at Murwillumbah peak at 6.2 metres.

“I also accept the evidence that the future use as a service station will be less intensive than its current use as a bottle shop, with a smaller footprint, and the proposed development will make little difference to what is presently on the

Site in the event of a flood,” said Senior Commissioner Martin in the court’s judgement.

Site’s visual impacts debated

During the hearing Council pressed its objections regarding the visual impact of the service station, specifically the need for a sensitive urban design.

Among Council’s concerns were that the design of the service station and its location, together with its proposed colour scheme, detract from the attractive site location and mountain backdrop and the excessive use of Coles corporate colours, particularly red, as being inappropriate in the context of a gateway site.

Council had proposed use of subdued, earthy colours to minimise the visual impact of the service station and for Shell and Coles’ corporate colours of red and yellow to be used in logos only.

The court heard from visual impact experts who debated the service station’s colour scheme and its impact on the gateway to Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley.

Town planner for Council Ms K Gordon said that “a materials palette could be designed which was compatible with the elements, maintained the corporate logos, and resulted in the built form being recognisable as a service station”.

However, visual impact expert for the applicant, Dr R Lamb said he did not object to the proposed colour scheme and that his applicant should be able to “promote its own product”.

In the end Senior Commissioner Martin ruled the service station could use an amended design that was agreed upon by the visual impact experts with a red and white colour scheme.

the complaints made about the site.

Others included deteriorating the scenic value of the site, concern about the health of mature trees, traffic, the capacity of Hayes Lane to accommodate petrol tankers, and concerns about congestion particularly at the intersection of Tweed Valley Way and Alma Street.

Flooding was also raised as a concern due to the flood-prone nature of the site and finally the site was highlighted as more suited to a tourist-related use and that a service station would have a negative impact on tourism Among the traffic amendments approved by the court include an extension of the median island between the site and Hayes Lane, to prevent staff and customers leaving the site via Hayes Lane and a No Entry sign. A boom gate will also be constructed at Hayes Lane to allow only fuel tankers and service vehicles associated with the service station to use the laneway.

The footpath on Tweed Valley Way will be relocated to provide improved separation from the exit driveway and the pedestrian crossing area on Tweed Valley Way will be moved to the north.

A DEVELOPMENT application to construct a Coles Express Service Station on the current Round House Tavern site at the corner of Alma Street and Tweed Valley Way has been approved with conditions by the Land and Environment Court.

The ruling, handed down in late November, allows Coles Express to begin demolition and construction of the new service station which is likely to commence in 2018.

The approval follows a campaign by local business owners and residents, who raised a range of concerns with the court with many fearing a service station was the wrong fit for Murwillumbah’s entry.

The approved Shell/Coles Express service station will be open 24-hours, seven days per week and include a 143-square metre shop.

Entry to the service station will be from Alma Street only while exiting for all staff and customers will be via a new crossover to Tweed Valley Way. The Weekly spoke with long-time Murwillumbah local and Hayes Toyota dealer principal Bert Hayes, who addressed the Land and Environment Court hearing in Murwillumbah.

Mr Hayes said he remained concerned about the development including its impact on Hayes Lane especially the surface quality as well as maintaining his fears for the site during future floods.

“It’s pretty hard to stand in the way of progress, but it’s even harder to stand in the way of mother nature,” Mr Hayes said.

“I’d like Council to take into consideration the boundary drawn at Hayes Lane, the road has deteriorated.”

Mr Hayes said he felt for those surrounding service station operators and said the location was not ideal especially for future flood events.

While a recommendation to approve the application (subject to conditions) was made by Council officers it was on November 17, 2016, that councillors voted to refuse the development.

In short, the reasons for refusal were that the proposal had an unacceptable impact on the built environment, traffic impacts, unsuitability for the site, visual impacts and that the development was not in the public interest, given public concern about conflicts with land use, amenity and traffic and pedestrian safety.

This case commenced in the Land and Environment Court with a site visit on August 1, 2017, where objections from local business owners and residents were heard.

“The “gateway” and high visibility nature of the site, makes it unsuitable for a service station,” was just one of

Trains bring opportunity

Imagine a pretty little train winding through the beautiful valleys of the Northern Rivers.

Morning or afternoon tea at one of our delightful coffee lounges, then on to a meal at a real country pub in another quaint old fashioned town.

What a service for pensioners who can no longer drive or afford a car in a region of rapidly aging population. This also applies to those with disabilities.

Imagine the variety of courses opening to students who may not be interested in what is available in their own town. This could apply from the Southern Cross University campuses to U3A. The same opening up of opportunity in a far wider field would be available to people seeking work. The search for employment and getting to interviews, is, in itself, an expense often out of reach for those on very limited budgets, leading to a vicious downward spiral into further disadvantage.

Merry revellers, several sheets to the wind, would no longer have an excuse to be a danger on our roads.

Lairy lads with lost licences would be less likely to get themselves into even more trouble. In fact, except for the occasional shark, the best way of all to keep out of trouble is out on accessible waves with a surf board.

Friendships between people in our spread out and shifting population could more easily be maintained, leading to less isolation and improved mental health. It would both expand and knit our communities together in a way that I cannot imagine any other policy being able to do.

Robbie Wesley, Murwillumbah Thank you to Vince Brownhill for his letter regarding a rail service from Murwillumbah to Brisbane.

However, it’s south, not north, that I’m more interested in travelling.

Rail services in this region, or lack of, are a major concern to me. For

the last year I have heard people I dismissed as dreamers talking about getting trains back on the Casino to Murwillumbah line but now my mind has been completely changed.

Thanks to a friend, I attended the Northern Rivers Railway Action Group public meeting in Murwillumbah last week and was amazed at the packed room with people from Burringbar, Tweed, and Uki as well as a big Murwillumbah crowd. It is very clear to me that getting the trains back is not a funding issue – the NSW State Government has just declared a huge surplus (that’s funds they are choosing not to invest) – it’s about political will.

If the bicycle rail trail goes through in its current form of requiring the tracks to be ripped up, it’s not just the Murwillumbah to Byron section of the track that will be decommissioned by an act of parliament, it’s the whole branch line from Casino north that is gone forever.

Byron residents are overwhelmed with tourists – wouldn’t they be glad to share some of them with the Tweed Shire? Our local businesses could be thriving if those same tourists could hop on a train in Byron with their bicycles and come to Murwillumbah for the day with stop offs to explore Mooball or Burringbar or Stokers Siding. I can’t be the only local who dreams of getting on a train in my town, sitting back and enjoying the view on my way to visit friends in villages and towns down the track.

Unnecessary destruction of a major transport infrastructure alternative to car travel is ludicrous.

There are thousands of people in this region without cars or who can’t drive. Elderly people for whom buses are just not an option. Northern NSW is being done over - all the funding goes to the south of the state. I agree Vince, it is time we got off our butts and demanded our share and a sensible plan for the future that includes rail - in both directions!

Alison Blatcher, Murwillumbah

Climbing Mt Warning

The issue of climbing Mt Warning surfaces every few years when people from out of the area, often from Grafton-based Bundjalung, attempt to impose their views in our area. As a local Elder pointed out a few years ago, Tweed indigenous people tend to be Christians or agnostics and do not see us living in the Dreamtime today and do not regard Mt Warning as a ‘sacred’ site.

The original article in your paper referred to Dr. Scherrer’s project which looked at alternative experiences to climbing, so it’s hardly

surprising that climbing rated lowest as it wasn’t included.

By all means respect the history and past significance of the mountain but there is a difference between respecting other people’s culture and accepting that culture as your own. An analogy can be made with the wearing of head covering by some Muslim women. If we accept their right to do so, it does not follow that we expect our women to also don garb that does not accord with our beliefs.

In the past white Australians didn’t allow women to vote, permitted small children to work, gave workers no protection from unsafe and hazardous conditions but our ‘culture’ is dynamic and changes over time as does indigenous culture.

Paul Carroll, Murwillumbah

Debate or autocracy

In response to Councillor Ron Cooper’s weekly dose of the good medicine in the Letters column reasserting his version of local democracy (TVW 16/11/2017), I cannot resist pointing out a few things.

Firstly, consultation and listening, and their occasional partner voting, are essential tools to ensure democracy means something in practice. Not to practice these, along with attempts to shut down debate, only demonstrate intolerance towards those holding different opinions. At its worst this is known as bigotry or else autocracy.

So while I agree with Cr. Cooper that “equality, fairness and inclusion” are some of the tenants of democracy, they are little more than vacuous words unless brought alive by the tools above.

Instead he dismisses the notion of consultation as somehow counter to these tenets and illegitimate when he is involved on a subject such as same-sex marriage in which his view is, as he asserts, so self-evidently right.

Secondly, in order to be fair and to be seen to be fair - one of Cr. Cooper’s tenets - it is incumbent upon councillors to practice objectivity to the best of their abilities.

Now every councillor brings their personal views, biases and prejudices to decision making.

For some of these they may have an elected mandate to pursue. But many personal biases and prejudices remain unknown to the electorate (not being relevant to their elected post) or else are only exposed in the forum of Council in unusual circumstances.

When it is such that a councillor has such passionately held views (as Cr Cooper, the only councillor, demonstrates regularly in the

OUTDOOR BLINDS

AMAZING PACKAGE DEAL

language, hyperbole and tone of his letters), then perhaps the right thing to do would be to state their case at Council meetings (like any other ratepayer) but then step aside from the final decision.

Lastly, Councils were not created to be tax-funded advocacy groups for matters outside their local remit.

Sure, if there are matters arising in the federal or state government sphere that affect their municipality and the services they deliver, then by all means advocate directly to those levels of government.

Otherwise they should keep to their knitting: you know, the nonfashionable, boring things like roads, water, sewage, development, environment etc, a plea regularly made here in the letter pages and heard at street level.

Now I can already hear Cr Cooper’s trite cries of “vacuum of leadership”, “filling the void” etc to justify his and Council’s stance on same-sex marriage. Well he might believe he had a personal mission to do something. He’s welcome to get on his soap box like everyone else. The issue here is he and some other councillors assuming it is their right to commandeer Council and its resources for that purpose.

Evidence for vaccines

I guess for each and every argument there is a counter argument and for some these arguments can be very persuasive to those who have little knowledge about science or epidemiology and unless backed by “real evidence” can be so totally damming in an area like ours where we probably have many people who are undecided.

Below is evidence debunking some of the comments made by Dennis Stevenson (TVW Nov 30) who said “worldwide government statistics show all infectious diseases were in major decline decades before any significant levels of Vaccinations” Well if you take smallpox alone given it’s saving the lives of five million people alone each year, it would have had to be in some serious decline to not warrant doing anything about it. The disease was so horrendous a worldwide effort and immunisation plan was put in place and it has been thankfully eradicated.

It’s not surprising that death rates were declining before introduction of the vaccines. Medicine was improving. More importantly, supportive care was improving.

For example, take the case of polio.

Before the introduction of the iron lung and its widespread use, for example, if a polio patient developed paralysis of the respiratory muscles, they would almost certainly die. The

iron lung allowed such patients to live. Some even survived in an iron lung for decades. No doubt improved nutrition also played a role as well.

The Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccination was introduced into Australia in 1992 and there was a 94 per cent reduction in cases in children under the age of five (the most frequent illnesses caused by Hib are meningitis, septicemia and pneumonia). Yet living conditions in Australia have changed only marginally since 1992 and 2003.

Three countries - Great Britain, Sweden, and Japan - cut back the use of pertussis vaccine because of fear about the vaccine.

In Great Britain, a drop in pertussis vaccination in 1974 was followed by an epidemic of more than 100,000 cases of pertussis and 36 deaths by 1978.

In Japan, around the same time, a drop in vaccination rates from 70 per cent to 20-40 per cent led to a jump in pertussis from 393 cases and no deaths in 1974 to 13,000 cases and 41 deaths in 1979.

In Sweden, the annual incidence rate of pertussis per 100,000 children 0-6 years of age increased from 700 cases in 1981 to 3,200 in 1985. It seems clear from these experiences that not only would diseases not be disappearing without vaccines, but if we were to stop vaccinating, they would come back It is in no doubt that clean water sanitisation and nutrition have played a major role in reducing disease and improving health but we are still seeing mothers in third world countries queuing for hours in appalling conditions to receive those precious vaccinations that have travelled in the most convoluted fashions to reach them. Yet mothers here in first world Australia are choosing to decline them maybe this is down to vaccinations being a victim of their own success creating an out-of-sight out-of-mind scenario, whilst we are not seeing our families in callipers and iron lungs, if we do ultimately stop vaccinating we could easily see this return.

How about a real Christmas tree

Just read in the TVWeekly that there’s to be no public Xmas trees in the Tweed this year since the plastic ones got destroyed in the flood, what a shame.

We have got some lovely pine trees in the area, wouldn’t it be good to light up some in suitable locations for Christmas with a big star on top.

Who needs plastic ones when we’ve got heaps of real ones growing?

Tweed to join global push to Stop Adani Tweed Water supply to last until 2046

A SPECIAL Stop Adani Tweed campaign, hosted by the Caldera Environment Centre, will be launched at a fundraising public awareness event at the Murwillumbah Regent Cinema on Wednesday, December 13, from 7pm to 9pm with food and drinks for sale and live music between 6pm to 7pm.

The Stop Adani Tweed, Byron and Lismore groups have joined with an estimated two million people worldwide who oppose the biggest coal mine in Australia’s history, Adani’s Carmichael project in Central Queensland’s Galilee Basin.

Narrated by Queensland-born actor Michael Caton, the documentary screening of ‘Guarding the Galilee’ will shine a spotlight on the battle to stop the Adani mega coal mine.

Keynote speakers are local comedian, artist, journalist and conservationist Mandy Nolan and renowned TV and movie actor, environmental, indigenous rights and political ‘actorvist’ Tony Barry. Local singer/songwriter Sophia Fletcher’s musical performance will include her original song ‘Mine Games, a Message to Adani’.

The audience will be invited to join a Q&A session, with expert panellists including recently retired NSW Environmental Defenders Office CEO and environmental lawyer Sue Higginson.

Stop Adani Tweed spokesperson Barry Firth said the aim of the campaign locally is to inform the public of how the fossil-fuel intensive coal mine will affect them, the environment and the planet.

“The foreign-owned Adani mine is a local issue,” Mr Firth said.

“It is our home, our farm, our family,

Stop Adani protesters in Brisbane on November 21

our business, our kids, our grandkids and our Great Barrier Reef that will be affected by the climate change legacy this mine will bring.

“We can expect more extreme weather events such as the recent floods if we continue to unleash carbon pollution into our atmosphere.”

Mr Firth highlighted that the Northern Rivers was the only region in Australia to achieve coal seam gas-free status.

“Stop Adani Australia has asked us to rise up again and establish an Adani-free zone in the Northern Rivers,” he said.

“Moves by local Councils have already been made in the direction of an Adanifree Northern Rivers.

“The Tweed and Lismore Councils have resolved that civil construction tenders disclose any involvement they have with the Carmichael mine and that a policy position be considered on

trading with entities that provide services to this mine.

“Byron Council has resolved not to award contracts to companies involved with the Adani mine, and not to contract or engage in services under any existing contract with Downer EDI Ltd or its subsidiaries until they publicly renounce any involvement with the mine.”

If built, the Adani coal project will each year transport 60 million tonnes of coal along a 388km rail line to a new coal export terminal at Abbot Point on the doorstep of the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef, with an estimated 500 extra coal ships travelling through this area.

“GetUp has reported that in 2011 a ship carrying Adani coal sank off the coast of Mumbai, devastating beaches, tourism and marine life and Adani did nothing to clean up the mess for five years,” Mr Firth said.

THE RAISING of the Clarrie Hall Dam, which is expected to be completed by 2026, will secure the Tweed’s water supply until 2046, according to projections made by Tweed Shire Council.

Forecasts are for a dramatic reduction in water supply over the next ten years which Council said is due to climate change.

“Tweed’s existing water supply can support a population of around 105,000 people but this will decline due to climate change,” the spokesperson said.

“The graph (pictured in last week’s Weekly) also shows the impact of climate change which will reduce secure yield from about 15,000ML/a to 11,250ML/a by 2030.

“Given our water usage rates, population forecast and declining secure yield, we will be only able to meet demand until approximately 2026.

The spokesperson said Council is not considering another dam as the raised Clarrie Hall Dam will secure supply to 2046.

Further debate around water security has also entered the discussions, including concerns about a greater number of water extraction licenses for the purposes of bottling, which several readers believe is acting in contrary to future forecasts.

At tonight’s (December 7) Planning Meeting it is recommended that a planning proposal is submitted to the State Government to ban water extraction and bottling on rural land within the Tweed Shire.

Council’s report found there are ten registered water extraction and/or bottling sites within the Tweed Shire, with two awaiting approval at Urliup Road and Rowlands Creek Road. It is recommended these sites awaiting determination by Council would fall under a ‘savings clause’ where they could still be approved.

A CORRECTION is required for a headline that appeared on page 5 on Thursday, November 30, that read “Tweed needs a second dam, says Councillor”.

This was an incorrect headline and Cr Owen advised that he did not make the statement to begin with.

Cr Owen said he had concerns that Tweed’s Water Demand will exceed water supply in 10 years and that Tweed needed a vision to secure Tweed’s long-term water supply at the lowest cost to ratepayers. Therefore, he is in support of raising the Clarrie Hall Dam wall, which was resolved unanimously by Councillors earlier this year.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Fire at school building prompts appeal

The government recently brought in a new regulation defining what constitutes a “minor injury” under the compulsory third party insurance scheme.

Justin Stack, managing director of Stacks Law Firm and a personal injury specialist, said the new government regulations exclude people from access to damages if they have injuries classified as “moderate” that manifest in neurological damage.

“These injuries can be very serious and prevent a person who is injured in a motor vehicle accident returning to work and earning a living,” Mr Stack said.

“These last minute changes to conditions of the Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017 are likely to force many injured people to rely on Medicare for the long term treatment of their injuries.

“The only ones to benefit from this will be the insurance companies, which are already making huge profits under the changes to the compulsory third party insurance scheme.”

Mr Stack’s objections are supported by the NSW Bar Association, which has said that these changes “undermine the legal rights of people injured in motor accidents.”

The president of the Bar Association, Arthur Moses SC, said the original Act had come about after lengthy discussions with the legal fraternity, but at the last minute the government has altered some significant features to the detriment of the rights of individuals.

Mr Moses said the changes are contrary to the government’s expressed objective of providing adequate compensation for accident victims. The Act affects those injured in accidents after 1 December 2017.

Stacks Law Firm has drawn up a comprehensive guide to the changes to NSW motor accident laws.

It can be found at www.stacklaw.com.au/article/ changes-to-the-nsw-motor-accident-laws/ These changes still leave a system that is complicated and difficult to negotiate for anyone who is not experienced in the intricacies of the law.

“Everyone has rights, even under these changes, and it would be wise to seek expert legal advice before agreeing to any offers of compensation from an insurance company,” Mr Stack said.

“The changes do reduce what you can claim for, and they cut back on damages that can be claimed. But there are statutory benefits available to people who are injured in an accident, regardless of who was at fault.

“An experienced personal injury lawyer will be able to find the best way for someone injured in an accident to get financial compensation that will assist them get back on their feet and move forward with their life.” comment

NSW GREENS Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) and Tweed Coast resident Dawn Walker was arrested by Queensland Police on Wednesday, December 6, after taking part in a blockade of the Adani Carmichael coal mine rail construction site at Belyando, 270km west of Bowen.

Ms Walker, along with fellow Greens MLC Jeremy Buckingham and a dozen other climate activists were arrested at 6.35am and charged with trespass unlawfully on a place of business.

Ms Walker told the media that it was a very important day for her, “stopping work on the Adani mine and

being arrested with climate activists who understand the importance of preventing this destructive project from going ahead”.

“I was proud to stand with traditional owners who have said ‘no means no’ to Adani, and made it clear they will not be surrendering their land and water to this coal corporation,” she said.

“Although this mine is miles from anywhere, the eyes of all Australians are on it. We have travelled days to get here but believe many more will follow.

“I’m appalled by the way this project is tearing indigenous communities apart and offering a substandard agreement to traditional owners for their land, with little economic opportunity.

“On every level Adani’s controversial mine does not stack up.”

Mr Buckingham said in a media statement that he was “proud to stand with activists in defence of climate and country, and represent all those people around Australia and internationally who want to stop the Adani coal project”.

“Although we are MPs from NSW this is an issue of national and international significance.

“Adani represents a line in the sand for all those concerned about climate change who do not want to see a new coal precinct opened up in Australia,” he said.

The legal rights of people injured in vehicle accidents are being further undermined by the NSW government’s changes to the green slip insurance scheme.

Legal rights of the injured suffer in new green slip changes

A DELIBERATELY lit fire at the Mt St Patricks College administration building, known as Presentation House, has narrowly avoided burning out of control thanks to the quick action of a security guard and local firefighters.

The fire was lit around 10.22pm on Friday, November 24, using paper and other materials at the office door of Assistant Principal Mary-Anne McShane.

The fire rose up to the top of the door frame and risked burning uncontrollably.

However, a quick-thinking security guard from Tweed Coast Protective Services, who heard the smoke alarm, raised the alarm with local firefighters and police.

Fortunately, once firefighters arrived at the scene, within about five minutes, the fire was only smouldering..

Ms McShane heaped praise on the security guard, and has appealed to the public for information about the incident as police have opened an investigation into the arson.

“The Murwillumbah Rural Fire Service were quick to extinguish any flames,” Ms McShane said.

“The firefighters said there were sheets of paper and pieces of material used to start the fire.

“It’s one of the first times we’ve ever seen something like this and it is concerning.”

Ms McShane could not rule out whether the arson attempt was started by someone known to the school administration, and has instead

reports suggesting most floods result in the community being isolated for 3-5 days,” Council’s report said.

“The flood response plans submitted as part of the DA identifies the majority of the 376 (approximate estimate) people living on the site are likely to be vulnerable, elderly residents and therefore Council cannot be satisfied that the recommendations of the report are suitable and in accordance with the adopted risk management approach.

“An isolated rural lot with little access to public transport and services, forms a flood island during storm events and cannot be accessed by car or foot in emergencies, containing 172 manufactured homes, 15 caravan sites with a potential population of 350 – 400 people is not a suitable location for the development.”

Another reason for rejecting the development is that it does not meet the criteria for RU2 (rural land) which has the purpose of maintaining the rural landscape character of the land and providing for a range of compatible land uses, including extensive agriculture.

“The development is likely to have adverse impact on the existing built environment as a result of the proposed density of development occurring on the land in an area which comprises of vast rural landscapes and a character which is inconsistent with the proposed development as well as the impact on existing residences as a result of the increase in population.

“The development is likely to have adverse impact on the existing community as a result of a sudden increase in population in an area which is otherwise vastly populated and the demand the development will put on local infrastructure and services.”

Proposed Dungay caravan park layout

PLANS TO construct a large manufactured home and caravan park in the heart of Dungay looks set to be knocked back by Tweed Shire Councillors in their December Planning Meeting tonight (December 7).

The plans that were lodged with Council in June this year propose to construct a caravan park at 355 Tomewin Road consisting of 172 long-term manufactured home sites, 15 short-term caravan sites, a community centre, swimming pool, men’s shed and community garden at the 27-hectare site.

Several Dungay residents have been angered by the plans which they said placed the rural settlement in grave danger of losing its identity along with concerns around flooding, traffic, environmental impacts, visual amenity and land clearing.

The Dungay Action Group told The Weekly earlier this year that more than 95 per cent of Dungay’s 160 residents were against the development.

During exhibition of the plans 100 written submissions were received by Council as well as a two petitions containing 462 signatures.

The Dungay residents agreed that the development, which covers 27 hectares is too big for the area and several had “grave concerns for the demands the development would place on water and waste management”.

“Currently Council only permits subdivisions in this area into 40 hectare lots with usually only one dwelling permitted on the land,” the group spokesperson said.

“This development would virtually be allowing a 27-hectare site to be subdivided into 187 lots.”

The group also said they had concerns that the land was being used to make large profits at the expense of the future of Dungay.

Among the reasons for refusal listed in Council’s report was failure to address acid sulfate soils, flood planning, flood plain risk management, stormwater management and provision of essential service such as water, electricity, sewage and access.

“The development is likely to have adverse impact on existing natural environment in regard to preservation and protection of ecologically endangered communities, impact to the existing waterway as a result of works over the waterway, insufficient information to demonstrate appropriate stormwater management measures and impacts resulting from bore water supply,” Council’s report said.

Water NSW had also told Council they would not issue the developer a Water Supply Work approval because of “inadequate arrangements to ensure no more than minimal harm will be done to any water source as a consequence of the carrying out of the proposed work or activities”.

Council’s report also identified flooding as a major concern for the development with reports suggesting the site could be isolated for up to three to five days in a flood event.

“Based on the flood data and the findings in the submitted report it appears that the site is regularly isolated in a flood event with

Crime spree prompts public anger MURWILLUMBAH RESIDENTS are hoping Tweed Police can track down and arrest those responsible for a vandalism spree that’s cost locals thousands of dollars in repairs on Commercial Road, after 12 cars had their tyres slashed during the early hours of Saturday, December 2.

An estimated 80 tyres were slashed forcing vehicle owners to replace all four tyres in what has since prompted fresh calls for a greater Tweed Valley police presence.

Several residents phoned The Weekly on Saturday morning to express their shock at what they said were “lengthy delays” between contacting local police and their response times.

“We phoned police as soon as we could early in the morning and we’re still waiting (11am),” one resident told The Weekly.

An officer did eventually attend the scene and spoke with several residents as well as providing an apology for the delay in response times.

“The female officer was really helpful and apologised for the delay, although I was concerned there were no finger prints taken as it could help identify the person or persons responsible,” the resident said.

Meanwhile, Tweed Police were extremely busy throughout the first weekend of December (see page 50 for The Weekly Police Beat) as they dealt with a multitude of incidents ranging from break and enters to a stolen car being dumped in the Tweed River.

It was initially hoped that police had nabbed the vandalism offenders after a break and enter on Commercial Road coincidentally on the same night.

However, that particular arrest was found to be unrelated according to Tweed Police, who confirmed to The Weekly that the vandal(s) remain at large.

The break and enter resulted in three people being arrested after they were found in a vehicle at Commercial Road, in which a TV, lock box with sensitive financial documents, cash, jewellery and Medicare and pension cards were stolen whilst the victim was at home.

Police said it was around 3am on Saturday morning, only hours later, that they located the offenders a short distance away from that location in a vehicle.

“The vehicle was searched and police recovered all the stolen property from the break and enter offence,” police said in a media statement.

“The three were all arrested and conveyed to Tweed Heads Police Station. The stolen property was seized by police.

“They have been charged with aggravated break and enter and commit serious indictable offence, dealing with property suspected proceeds of crime, goods in custody suspected being stolen and having custody of a knife in

a public place.”

It was however an unrelated crime that resulted in the vandalism spree in which several vehicle owners also reported panel damage on Commercial Road and Condong Street.

Several residents were left stranded and were unable to use roadside assistance to fix in some cases all four brand new tyres, as they were told the matter falls under an insurance claim despite several being members of NRMA. Christmas lights were also vandalised during the incident with several lights cut and displays damaged.

The incident is believed to have started in the early hours of Saturday morning, as one resident said he reported his tyres slashed as early as 2am.

“Tyres slashed, cars scratched, and Christmas lights cut on Commercial Rd. Around 1.30am. Not cool, not cool at all. Very disappointing response from the police station. If anyone who has the slightest gripe about anything can call Council and police, maybe we’ll get the stats up and finally get a significant presence in this town,” the resident said.

Plans to curb road deaths

MEMBER FOR Lismore Thomas George has this week announced the first ever comprehensive road safety education campaign to target regional NSW, in an allout effort to spread the critical message that too many country people are dying on the state’s roads.

Saving Lives on Country Roads aims to highlight the hidden crisis unfolding almost daily on the state’s regional road network, a crisis which is devastating families and local communities.

The campaign is also designed to kick start a new conversation in the country by challenging the ‘yeah but!’ attitude of excuses many drivers make to justify taking deadly risks on our roads such as speeding, drink and drug driving, driving tired and not wearing seatbelts.

“We need to face up to the fact that far too many country people are dying on our roads,” Mr George said.

“Last year we lost 252 people in the country. That’s two thirds of the road toll for the entire state.

“Here in the Lismore electorate 42 people have lost their lives and 596 were seriously injured in the past five years from 2012 to 2016. This has to stop.

“And that’s why a campaign like this is so important to get the message across to country drivers that it’s not tourists or people from the city dying on their roads, it’s locals.

“It’s also time for the excuses to stop. It’s not good enough for drivers to say things like ‘Yeah, but I was only going a few kilometres over the limit’ or ‘Yeah, but I didn’t think I needed to take a break because I was so close to home’ or ‘Yeah, I’d had a few drinks, but I needed to get the kids home’.”

As part of the campaign, which Mr George launched in Lismore on Tuesday, December 5, the NSW Government and Transport for NSW, will partner with local councils, community groups and local industries to help spread this important safety message across regional NSW. The new $3.4 million-dollar campaign is part of the NSW Government’s vision of a future free of road trauma and the ultimate goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on our roads.

Calls to increase police on valley beat New rescue vehicle presence or lack there off. It would have still happened even if Murwillumbah had a 24 hour police station and 20 cops around.”

The Weekly followed up with Mr Grant MP and he said the allocation of resources, including officers, is a matter for the Police Commissioner based on operational requirements.

He also referred to sweeping changes to the NSW Police Force structure which will abandon the Local Area Command divisions and introduce districts as part of a renewed focus on frontline policing and in particular a focus on regional areas.

“The NSW Police Force is being streamlined to put more boots on the ground where they’re needed most,” Mr Grant said.

“The re-engineering process, led by Commissioner Fuller, is designed to bring additional focus to frontline policing and crime prevention right across NSW, including in the Tweed Shire.

“We know that each part of regional NSW has its own unique law

enforcement challenges.

“Crime trends vary across country NSW, as does population growth, density, and individual communities’ needs.

“Over the past few months, the Reengineering Taskforce and the NSW Police Force Executive have designed a new framework for policing in our regions.

“The one-size-fits-all “Local Area Command” model will be replaced with a “District” model, which will better meet the wide-ranging needs of communities across the state.

“Although the LAC model has worked well for some two decades, it has also disadvantaged some country areas in terms of resource allocation.

“Due to technological advancements and an evolving crime landscape, it is timely for the organisation to move forward with these changes.

“I am confident that the new policing structure for regional NSW will ensure a high-quality, targeted service for communities far and wide.

Handing the keys over to Kingscliff Life Savers

KINGSCLIFF BEACHGOERS will be a little safer this summer thanks to the new All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) courtesy of Surf Life Saving Far North Coast and Member for Tweed Geoff Provest.

The ATV will be housed at the Kingscliff Education and Rescue Training Centre where it will be used to provide support operations with a quick and speedy means to launch the rescue water craft (jet ski) for both patrolling and emergency operations.

The ATV’s speedy capabilities are welcomed after 1,300 volunteer lifesavers conducted 130 rescues, 6,000 preventative rescue actions, 100 search operations and more than 80 after hours search and rescue call-outs last year in NSW. The new ATV is fitted with a defibrillator, first aid kit and other essential rescue equipment that was handed over by Surf Life Saving Far North Coast president Wilson Cregan last week.

“We are sincerely thankful for the continued support of Geoff Provest MP for Tweed, to Surf Life Saving Far North Coast and local clubs,” he said.

“It is essential that our support operations and lifeguards can perform rescues as quickly and efficiently.”

Mr Cregan and Surf Life Saving Far North Coast Director of Lifesaving Chris Samuels were both pleased to be officially handed the All-Terrain Vehicle keys by Mr Provest.

Surf Life Saving Far North Coast provides the services, training and programs for volunteer surf life savers to ensure safe beaches for locals and visitors and to carry out emergency rescues if required.

PUBLIC CONCERN for police officer numbers across the Tweed Valley following a weekend crime spree has reignited residents’ calls for a greater police presence in the valley, with suggestions that officers are already stretched to their limits across the Tweed Shire.

Following the Murwillumbah and Banora Point crime sprees on the first weekend of December, several residents have called on Minister for Police Troy Grant to join the discussion and explain why police numbers are not increased.

“Contact Troy Grant the police minister, I went to a meeting with him earlier in the year and he claimed that Murwillumbah and the surrounding valleys don’t have a high enough crime rate to allocate more officers,” Karen Halliday wrote on social media.

“Let him know how you feel about that. Upon doing some research Murwillumbah has the second highest number of murders in NSW with four, highest is Blacktown with seven.

“Policing is a State and Federal issue not Council so I encourage everyone to give Troy Grant (MP) a call.”

Meanwhile, several other comments spoke in support of local police and said every regional town has its issues.

“Every small town has a bit of vandalism and shenanigans now and then,” another comment reads.

“Ok so, some wanker went on a rampage over an hour or two and slashed 80 tyres, smashed some lights and caused havoc.

“He will eventually get sprung and prosecuted. This kind of sh*t could have happened anywhere and probably does.

Council moves to create West Kingscliff environmental protection zones TWEED SHIRE Council has slammed Gales Holdings’ vision for West Kingscliff saying their plans to clear 24 hectares of native habitat “go well beyond what might ordinarily be considered acceptable” and will vote at tonight’s (December 7) Planning Meeting whether to move to rezone parts of Gales’ land into environmental protection zones.

The Weekly had reported last week that the Draft Kingscliff Locality Plan (DKLP), that was planned to go on public exhibition in October this year, had been delayed.

Council’s Planning Meeting minutes outline the securing of environmental offsets within West Kingscliff to be the reason for the delay.

The DKLP had set aside around 7.5 hectares of native vegetation for clearing within West Kingscliff area, with most of the vegetation being in small areas less than a hectare and 20m wide and/or highly disturbed. To balance the 7.5ha of cleared land an offset which equates to around 30 to 45 hectares would be required, and Council said their preference is for these offsets to be located within West Kingscliff.

Around 11 hectares of land within West Kingscliff has been identified as suitable for offsetting, meaning another 19 to 34 hectares is required. Council’s report outlines other areas within West Kingscliff where environmental offsetting may occur including the old sewerage plant and other rural land to the east and west of Tweed Coast road.

On the contrary, Council’s report said their assessment of Gales’ vision for West Kingscliff identified around 24 hectares of native habitat that is earmarked for clearing. This volume of clearing is “considered excessive” and would require offsets of between 96 to 144 hectares. Gales’ current plans account for offset areas of only 5.3 hectares, meaning another 91 hectares is required within West Kingscliff.

“To achieve the current Gales – Intrapac vision the only option would be to consider providing the required offsets elsewhere,” Council’s report states.

“However as noted previously, natural habitats in the West Kingscliff areas have already been highly impacted by past clearing and provide the only north-south linkage in the locality.

“Further losses of vegetation and habitat would lead to a substantially poorer environmental outcome in the locality.”

Council said they have held discussions with Gales in relation to the offset issue over the past two years but no satisfactory agreement had been reached.

The report recommends that further discussions are held with Gales to develop an offset package within West Kingscliff area, for these offsets to become environmental protection zones that are secured by a legally binding mechanism.

“If an offset package is not developed that meets the satisfaction of the General Manager then all areas that meet the NSW Government’s E zone criteria are to be proposed for

environmental protection zoning and reflected within the Draft Kingscliff Locality Plan,” Council’s report reads.

“It is also recommended that Council does not support the removal of any existing environmental protection zones and the Kingscliff Locality Plan is revised to identify these offset areas.”

Council’s proposed E zones for West Kingscliff (pictured right) include the area of melaleuca that Gales Holdings wish to remove to construct housing along with an area where an urban rainforest is planned that includes playgrounds, walking trails and a skate park.

This land is currently deferred under the Local Environmental Plan and was considered for habitat retention and offsetting.

“The proposed clearing of around 6.4ha of connected coastal wetland vegetation that is already under an environmental protection zone goes well beyond what might ordinarily be considered acceptable,” Council’s report said “This particular community also provides suitable habitat for numerous threatened plant and animal species including koalas which are endangered on the Tweed coast.

“The site is also part of northsouth regional corridor linking natural areas in Chinderah, Fingal Head and Tweed Heads areas to the rest of the Tweed coast.”

Gales had also submitted a Development Application to Council in August this year to fill land south of Turnock Street which is currently under assessment.

The application also seeks to

Compared to the proposed Gales Master Plan

remove around one hectare of land that was to be set aside and managed is under a restrictive covenant imposed by the Land and Environment Court in 2008.

Gales also held a community information session in October where they outlined their West Kingscliff vision including the removal of melaleuca and plans

for an urban parkland.

Council said that they have also been approached by a planning consultant on behalf of Gales who are considering lodging a Development Application to fill 7.6 ha to the east of Tweed Coast Road, in the area planned for the urban parkland.

TWEED VALLEY local Credence Donoghue has achieved her lifelong dream after she was recently crowned the 2018 Rodeo Queen by the National Rodeo Association.

Credence told The Weekly that she was “over the moon” to have been named Rodeo Queen for 2018 and she’s eager to see Tweed locals at the next Cabarita Rodeo on Friday, January 5.

“To win the National Rodeo Association Rodeo Queen 2018 means more than words can explain - rodeo is my life,” she said.

“To be able to represent the sport I love is a dream come true.”

The National Rodeo Association Rodeo Queen and Princess competitions are held at several rodeos throughout the season.

The categories each contestant is judged on are horsemanship, appearance, personality and knowledge.

Each year at the National Finals the new Rodeo Queen, Princess and Junior Princesses are crowned.

The passionate young local has been fundraising for local charities and thanked local businesses for their support.

“I would also like to give a big thank you to local businesses that have helped me out with donations including major supporters Norco Rural being an example for one in Murwillumbah,” she said.

“I think it is such a lovely thing and they should be recognised in our shire for supporting locals.”

Creedence is also an avid barrel racer and has future goals to make the 2018 Open Finals for Barrel Racing.

Credence also gave some advice to other budding young Rodeo Queen contestants.

“Being a Rodeo Queen requires full commitment to the association, a true passion and knowledge about rodeo,” she said.

“She should have great horse skills and style of course and she should also be a role model and a bright face for people to look up to.”

Credence also provided an update on the

next Cabarita Rodeo taking place on Friday, January 5.

“My next rodeo which will kick it off for the year will be the New Year’s Eve rodeo in Goomeri (QLD), it will be a junior rodeo and all-round rodeo which means it will have all standard NRA rodeo events there and an all junior rodeo earlier in the day,” she said.

“The next rodeo in the Tweed Shire will be Cabarita Rodeo on Friday, January 5, at 6.30pm which I hope to see everyone coming along to enjoy.”

Plans to open Halcyon House to public

TOP

J E W E L L E R

Buy direct from the manufacturer on behalf of Halcyon House has argued the address has existing use rights as a motel restaurant open to the public previously operated at the site.

“The resolution of Council set out in this letter does not and a cannot alter our client’s existing use rights for the property,” the advice from Storey & Gough lawyers reads.

“These conditions did not relate to the application, are clearly contrary to our client’s existing use rights for the property and have been imposed without our client’s consent.

“We understand that a restaurant has operated from the motel for many years” and a “property upon which the use is carried out enjoys existing use rights,” the letter reads.

“Any application by Council to impose this resolution on our client will be strenuously denied.”

The popular destination has also announced Halcyon Spa is set to open its doors in the coming weeks. The spa will feature treatment rooms, a relaxation area, full amenity change facilities and a unique dome-shaped steam bath.

CABARITA BEACH boutique hotel Halcyon House has submitted an application to Tweed Shire Council to remove a condition that prevents members of the public from using its dining areas including the multi-award winning restaurant Paper Daisy.

The hotel’s current development approval forbids members of the public from using its facilities except during certain functions and events linked to hotel guests.

Despite this condition the restaurant has been open to the public, seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, opening at 7am and closing at 10pm.

A request was submitted to Council last week that asks for the hotel’s facilities to be open to the public, with no changes proposed to opening hours.

Councillors had voted unanimously at their September Planning Meeting to write to the owner of Halcyon House requesting a fresh development application to enable the restaurant to be used by the general public.

The decision came after numerous complaints from Cabarita residents since the hotel opened in 2015, with concerns ranging from hours of operation, noise complaints, car parking, the location of rubbish bins and compliance with development consent.

A report to Councillors said the site and location of the hotel is not suitable for a general purpose restaurant and that Council’s car parking assessment was based on the hotel’s facilities not being used by members of the public.

The letter also stated that Council “does not support intensification of the motel use (accommodation, restaurant and ancillary components) that results in increased demand for on street carparking and/or has the potential to adversely affect the amenity of the neighbourhood such as from and noise and traffic” and asked for the unauthorised use to cease immediately.

However, legal advice presented to Council

Tweed Catholic school staff join strike New SkyBus links airport to Tweed

DOZENS OF Tweed Shire Catholic School teachers and support staff stopped work for four hours on Monday, December 4, as discussions turned to strike action to protest Catholic employers’ decision to put their staff’s enterprise agreement to a vote without gaining union endorsement.

The move has sent shockwaves through the Independent Education Union (IEU) fearful of losing ground to act on behalf of teachers and staff, should it require access through the Fair Work Commission.

The strike was followed by a meeting that took place at the South Tweed Sports Club and was in conjunction with a series of regional rallies in a variety of locations across NSW and the ACT with about 250 schools now taking part including Catholic schools in the Lismore diocese.

Independent Education Union Secretary John Quessy said the dispute was “not about pay”.

“A 2.5 per cent pay rise was settled nearly a year ago, but has yet to be paid,” he said.

“Rather, the dispute is about Catholic employers vetoing the right of the union to access the Fair Work Commission for arbitration.

Mr Quessy also said that some details of the enterprise agreement also remain unresolved.

The enterprise agreement online vote began on Tuesday, December 5, and is being conducted by The Australian Election Company with voting closing at 5pm on Monday, December 11.

Results should be available on the next day.

The rallies attempted to draw on as much media attention as possible

Several Catholic school staff and teachers took part in striking at Tweed Heads

with teachers, education staff and Independent Education Union (IEU) members gathering wearing colourful campaign shirts, waving placards and chanting.

“The mood of members has lifted with more than 100 additional schools taking part in this second round of action following a series of a stop works in early November,” Mr Quessy said.

He said members were angry after their employers took the unprecedented action of putting an enterprise agreement to the vote without gaining union endorsement.

“This has never been done before in Australian history,” Mr Quessy said.

“Catholic employers are coming for our members’ rights and they will not tolerate that. We are urging a ‘no’ vote.

“It is clear they want absolute power over their employees and the members are standing firm against this.

“Our action is sending a clear message that we reject their enterprise agreement.

Mr Quessy said it was “outrageous” that employers were indicating staff needed to vote “yes” in order to get their pay rise.

“Our members will not be held to ransom by employers dangling a meagre pay rise as a carrot,” he said.

“Teachers and support staff want their conditions protected by their enterprise agreement and by the Fair Work Commission.

“They do not want and will not put up with employers’ bullying.

IEU Organiser from the Lismore Office Sandra White told The Weekly that unlike the workers, the employers only need to gain a majority of whoever votes to win the ballot and no quorum required.

“For workers, the ‘Fair’ Work Act requires 50 per cent of a union membership to participate in a voluntary ballot to take protected action before the vote will even be counted,” Mrs White said.

“That’s a high percentage for a voluntary vote, and could be said to be designed for failure.

“It used to be that workers had the right to withdraw their labour when in a dispute over salary, conditions or safety – that is now prevented by law, at the risk of significant fines. The rules in our federal IR system are broken – they favour one side over the other.”

TWEED HEADS will be included on the new SkyBus airport transfer service announced at Gold Coast Airport on Wednesday, December 4.

The new SkyBus Gold Coast rebranding, of the former Gold Coast Tourist Shuttle, is hoped to continue the company’s Australian expansion and mimic the success it’s had in Victoria and New Zealand.

The buses will be refitted with SkyBus branding and special features such as free Wi-Fi, internal luggage racks as well as smartphone and digital ticketing options.

SkyBus Co-Chief Executive Officer and Director Adam Begg announced the new SkyBus service officially open with a ribbon cutting alongside Gold Coast Airport Chief Operating Officer Marion Charlton.

The move will mark Melbourne-based SkyBus’ first entry into Queensland and it will compete with Gold Coast bus company Con-X-ion as well as several other companies.

Mr Begg previously told the media that the acquisition was part of a plan to grow the company in Australia.

Gold Coast Airport Chief Operating Officer Marion Charlton welcomed the development along with Member for Currumbin Jann Stuckey and a representative for the Member for McPherson Karen Andrews.

SkyBus has received several industry awards including a Gold prize winner at the 2016 RACV Victorian Tourism Awards and a recipient of the 2017 and 2016 Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence.

Special Feature...

How to Zero Your Power Bill - and Stay Connected to the Grid On the 1st July power prices increased by 20% in NSW. Solar Feed in Tariffs doubled. In this special report you will find out how you can get the most benefit from solar power on your house and minimise the impact of higher power prices.

If You Use Less Than 10 kWh per Day...

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels to Eliminate your power bill

With Feed in tariffs at 12-16c you can now sell power back to the grid as part of a strategy to minimise and eliminate power charges completely. Production from 2.5 kW of solar - about 10 panels - will offset the dreaded electricity supply charge when all the generated power is exported. You now get half as much for the power you sell as it costs you to buy from the grid. If you export enough, the rest of your power charges can be eliminated. This strategy is ideal for retirees or small households.

If You Use 10-25 kWh per Day...

Install 5-8 kW of Solar Panels and Batteries if Export is Limited If Essential Energy will let you export 5 kWh or more to the grid, then stacking your roof with as many solar panels as possible will work well for you. If export is limited, consider storing extra power in a battery bank for night time use. A combination of solar for export, self use maximised during the day and battery storage is a great strategy to bring your bill closer to zero for medium households with 3-4 people.

If You Use More Than 25 kWh per Day...

Install 8+ kW of Solar Panels and Solar Batteries Export 5 kWh to the grid, use as much as you can during the day and store power for night time use in a larger bank of solar batteries. Power prices are expected to rise by another 50% in the next 2 years, so everything you put in now will work even better in the years to come. Get a free energy plan from 888 Solar Tek because every home is different and you need help to get your solar system sized right and working perfectly.

Solar Batteries Ensure You Never Have Blackouts in the Storm Season

Solar Rebate to Drop in 2018 But Don’t Panic!

Every year, for the next 14 years, the value of subsidies for new installations of solar panels will fall. The payment is made based on the installation date, so many solar companies are getting people into a panic to sign up now or miss out. The incremental decrease is about $300 less for a 6 kW solar system installed after 31st Dec 2017.

Don’t Panic! 888 Solar Tek will pay the full 2017 rebate for any system ORDERED before 31st of Dec 2017 regardless of install date.

You also get 2 Extra Panels Free with any Solar System

Until the 22nd Decemebr 2017, 888 Solar Tek will add two extra panels to each New solar system ordered for FREE! You get 2 extra 270 Watt, tier 1 Seraphim solar panels - over half a kW more power with our highest quality Seraphim panels - the first panel in the world to ever pass the Photon Labs independent torture test. You will also receive FREE solar WiFi monitoring, setup on your phone, tablet or computer & expert tuition on how to get the most from your solar system.

“I was born and raised in Murwillumbah and have spent most of my working life in Sydney, not only as a cartoonist but also as an illustrator, writer, caricaturist and storyboard artist for TV and film,” he said.

Mr Fletcher said he still travels regularly to Sydney to conduct the popular Creative Cartooning workshops for the Mindquest program.

Did you know that Mosquito-borne diseases can cause life-threatening illness?

YOU’VE PROBABLY landed on this page because you’re sick of mosquitoes and other buzzing bugs ruining your outdoor time. Mosquito-borne disease is a serious concern, with millions of people worldwide impacted by pathogens spread by these blood-sucking insects. In Australia, there are more than 5,000 cases of human illness caused by the mosquitoborne Ross River virus and Barmah Forest virus every year. Mosquitoes can carry diseases that may be passed on to people through mosquito bites. Periods of heavy rainfall or floods can lead to ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, even in nontropical areas. Diseases that are spread by insects are known as ‘vector- borne’ diseases.

There are over 60 individual repellent formulations currently registered including aerosols, creams, lotions, pump sprays, wipes, wrist bands and sticks. Despite this diversity of products, there are only a handful of active ingredients, the most common of which are DEET (diethyltoluamide) and Picaridin.

DEET is commonly known as the king of mosquito repellents, though not everyone is keen to slather it on their skin. A study conducted found negative health effects that linked to the exposure to the chemical.

Effects included rashes, skin irritation, numb or burning lips, nausea, headaches, dizziness and difficulty concentrating.

When it comes to living a healthy and natural lifestyle, what you put on your body is just as significant as what you put in your body. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and since it is porous, it absorbs whatever you put on it. Founder

The mosquitoes and midges came out while being outdoors. I sprayed over my exposed skin arms and legs, and the good news was that everyone around me got bitten and I was so happy that I did not get bitten and love the outdoors now. I highly recommended product to make the mosquitoes and midges to buzz off.

His team of dentists also includes Dr Nupur Hackwood who is a Pediatric Dental Specialist and Dr Sudhagar Sivabalan General Dentist with a special interest in Myobrace, early intervention orthodontic treatments.

“When you give us a call, we’ll be happy to show you the difference of having a dentist that makes your health and comfort their

priority every time,” he said.

Ramesh said he wanted the new practice to be a copy of Smile Street South Murwillumbah, which is located next to Tweed Valley Way IGA, was created to give patients a fresh experience in dentistry.

“The new practice is certainly fresh with the same style as Murwillumbah including a retro waiting room and tea or water on arrival, plus we’re introducing our kids play area and paperless registration to save on wastage,” he said.

The new practice is equipped with all the latest Sirona dental equipment from Germany, including a 3D X-ray machine for dental implant planning and assessment for wisdom teeth extraction.

“A state of the art camera allows clear photography to validate any treatment that is necessary,” he said.

Cross-border services strengthen Lions Club digs deep to keep shire safe “There have been significant in-roads made since the signing of the NSW-Queensland statement earlier this year, and residents can rest assured that their cross-border concerns are being heard,” Mr George said.

Chief Superintendent at Fire Rescue NSW Gary McKinnon said the partnership has helped fix small details, which make a big difference for the community.

“This partnership has provided us with an excellent opportunity to seamlessly share services and capabilities across the border, which is a win for everyone,” Mr McKinnon said.

It is one of the key areas of achievement listed in the Queensland/NSW Statement of Principles and Priorities for Cross-Border Collaboration, following the release of the cross-border 2016-17 Annual Report and 2017-18 Worklist.

The report also reveals improvements in information and resource sharing between Queensland and NSW education, health and emergency services.

The collaboration is also focused on transport solutions to increase the coordination and efficiency of services across the border as seen in the Future Transport 2056 draft strategy.

Thomas George MP, Geoff Provest MP and Deputy Premier John Barilaro with firefighters

Murwillumbah Lions Club President, Tony Barany, Secretary Peter Richards and Treasurer John Woodward attended the Murwillumbah Fire Station and presented a cheque for $5000.

THE LIONS Club of Murwillumbah has presented a generous cheque for $5000 to the Murwillumbah Rural Fire Brigade to upgrade their portable communications systems which will enhance their capabilities and ensure greater safety on Friday, November 25.

The new communication system means that when firefighters are on smoke filled grounds, or incidents where visual contact between team members is lost, communication systems can be maintained.

The Brigade’s basic equipment including trucks, accessories and uniforms are supplied by the NSW Government, but they have an ongoing need to purchase additional equipment to make their jobs safer and enhance their efficiency and these items are purchased by the Brigade using money donated by the community.

The Murwillumbah Rural Fire Brigade is also staffed 100 per cent by volunteers who donate their time to serve the community in which they reside.

Local firefighters are called out at least 150 times per year and are very active in the community.

A decision was made to purchase a number of VHF portable radios and the Brigade approached Murwillumbah Lions Club, in

the hope that they could provide funding.

The Lions slogan is: “Where there’s a need there’s a Lion” which Murwillumbah Lions Club President Tony Barany said was not just a slogan but “words put into action by the Lions Club Of Murwillumbah”.

“Murwillumbah Rural Fire Brigade represented by Equipment Officer Peter Ball and Engagement Officer Don Bentley approached the Lions for desperately needed funds to upgrade their communications equipment,” Mr Barany said.

“The Lions realised that this equipment would be a vital cog in the Brigade’s arsenal to fight fires and ultimately save not only the lives of residents of the Tweed Valley but also the lives of the firefighters engaged in protecting us.

“The Lions Club of Murwillumbah does not only support local projects but in association with Lions Clubs International has platforms supporting diabetes, environment, hunger relief, paediatric cancer and vision.

“Why not help The Lions Club Of Murwillumbah “make a difference” by contacting us today to enquire about membership to the world’s largest Service Organisation and help us to advance our humanitarian work both locally and globally."

NEW SOUTH WALES and Queensland emergency services continue to strengthen their cross-border relationships with the announcement of greater combined efforts between fire and emergency services.

The cross-border announcement was made by Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro, Member for Lismore Thomas George and Member for Tweed Geoff Provest on Monday, December 4, at the Tweed Heads/Coolangatta border.

Mr Barilaro said the partnership is already delivering great outcomes, with NSW and Qld fire and emergency services working together to tackle incidents either side of the border.

“This is a fantastic result for NSW residents living on the Queensland border,” Mr Barilaro said.

“Queensland Fire and Emergency Services now train and work together with Fire and Rescue NSW to fight fires and floods for locals in times of need, no matter which side of the border they’re on.

“The partnership has not only helped form the alliance but ironed out any technical issues along the way.

“Borders often create barriers that often need technical but simple solutions. This is just one example of how we’re improving services, and safety, for locals in our regions.”

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said the goal of the partnership is to not only make life easier for border residents, but to provide safer and more efficient emergency services too.

“This agreement allows resources to be shared and instantly mobilsed in the Tweed and Coolangatta regions in response to a large local emergency such as a fire or major accident,” Mr Provest said.

Member for Lismore Thomas George said the NSW Government is committed to providing effective and structured ways to tackle everyday issues.

Tweed Link to be published in local newspapers in 2018 We want to let you know about some changes to the Tweed Link which will take effect from January 2018.

For 20 years, Tweed Shire Council has independently printed and distributed the Tweed Link, providing a trusted source of Council and community information.

Times have changed and independently printing and distributing the Tweed Link for 42,500 households each week has become unsustainable.

From the week commencing the 15 January 2018, the Tweed Link will appear in the local free newspapers, the Tweed Daily News (Wednesday community edition) and Tweed Valley Weekly (Thursdays). Together, these newspapers have a combined print run of approximately 46,000, complemented by these organisations’ strong online and social media readership.

The Tweed Link will continue in a weekly printed format with the same content, a refreshed ‘look and feel’ and the benefit of full colour. Only the distribution will change, providing a range of print and electronic options for the community to receive the Tweed Link.

We are pleased to say this expansion of the Tweed Link into improved online, social and digital information will not be at any further expense to ratepayers.

These changes allow you to choose how you would like to receive or access the Tweed Link and stay informed about Council news – via traditional printed papers, online through our website or electronic subscription or by following our social media.

From 15 January, the Tweed Link will be available: • In a free weekly printed format available to the majority of Tweed households and bulk drops through two local free newspapers • As a free weekly online electronic subscription service direct to your inbox (www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Subscribe) and available on Council’s website (www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Tweedlink) • As a video version of the ‘Tweed e-Link’ for Council’s YouTube and social media channels, to grow our online and social media followers (coming soon).

• At Council offices and some Council-owned community facilities.

Some of you will welcome this change, some of you will have concerns as you adapt to the alternative ways to access the Tweed Link and some of you may read and engage with the Tweed Link for the first time.

Thank you for your support of the Tweed Link over the past 20 years, we look forward to continuing its legacy, gaining new audiences and keeping you informed about our more than 52 programs and services.

What is changing?

• The way Council distributes the printed version of the Tweed Link.

From the week commencing 15 January 2018 – the Tweed Link will appear in the Tweed Daily News (community edition distributed Wednesdays) and The Tweed Valley Weekly (distributed Thursdays).

Both of these newspapers are free to obtain.

• The printed Tweed Link ‘look and feel’ will be updated, feature more stories and articles, be printed in full colour, with a slightly larger type.

• Council will no longer take external advertising from third party groups. These enquiries should be directed to support the local printed papers including the Tweed Daily News or the Tweed Valley Weekly.

• There is no change to the current arrangements for Resident and Ratepayer Groups to receive in-kind support of one monthly community notice – this will continue to be offered and featured in the Tweed Link.

• The existing Tweed Link Policy is being updated to reflect these changes and incorporated into one Communications Policy which will shortly be on exhibition for public comment.

When will it happen?

• Tuesday 12 December 2017 – Tweed Link Issue 1036 will be the last independently printed and distributed Tweed Link. We then take a break from publishing over the Christmas – New Year period.

• From the week commencing Monday 15 January 2018, the Tweed Link will feature in the Tweed Daily News (community edition) distributed on Wednesdays and The Tweed Valley Weekly delivered on Thursdays.

What can I do? What are my options?

• Subscribe at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/subscribe to get the Tweed Link (or a range of other subscription services) sent directly to your inbox each week.

• Follow Council on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and Linkedin.

• Adapt your news reading habits to find the Tweed Link in the Tweed Daily News and the Tweed Valley Weekly.

• Drop into Council’s offices and some other community facilities to pick up a copy.

• Sign up to Your Say Tweed at www.yoursay.tweed.nsw.gov.au to stay informed Council’s engagement activities and get notifications about ways you can have your say.

Livestock sales strong for final Murwillumbah yarding kilo and cows topped at $2.34 and mostly go to the export market.”

The figures were in the record range for Murwillumbah and Mr Casey said it was due to increased rainfall, higher international demand and high quality restockers.

He said that although the rain was a god send – “it would be nice to have a few dry weeks”.

“We really need the rain to ease off for just a few weeks, it’s important that the grass gets sunlight to really grow and I know there’s a lot of farmers hoping it will break for a few weeks at the very least,” he said.

Mr Casey said the Australian cattle market was particularly strong due to increased demand from overseas markets.

“This has led to some record breaking sales in Murwillumbah, which is helping farmers to reinvest in fencing, stock, machinery as well as carriers, mechanics and many other local businesses,” he said.

The Murwillumbah Saleyard will reopen for its first fat sale of 2018 on Monday, January 8, while the first store sale will be held on Monday, January 13.

Meanwhile, confidence has rebounded strongly among NSW farmers, with sheep and beef producers behind much of the upswing, according to the latest Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey released to the media on Monday.

Buoyed by high lamb, wool and beef prices, the recent rains have also been a positive driver of

sentiment, the release said.

The rain came all too late for some farmers across NSW for the cropping season, with Rabobank forecasting the smallest winter crop in the state for 10 years.

However, Tweed Shire cane farmers have reported a strong season despite floods and persistent rain in what many have described as a relief due to concerns many crops could be lost in this year’s flood.

“One-in-three of the state’s farmers are planning to expand investment, flowing into strong demand for rural property,” the Rabobank release said.

Rabobank national manager Country Banking Australia Todd Charteris said the appetite for agricultural land was strong in NSW, particularly for high-quality grazing and dryland properties – which had driven up land values, and reflected the bullish outlook for agriculture.

“We are seeing strong demand for rural property among family farming operations, as balance sheets are ‘rock solid’ after a few years of reasonable commodity prices and seasons, notwithstanding the seasonal challenges in the grains sector,” he said.

The survey found the percentage of NSW farmers expecting agricultural economic conditions to improve in the coming year almost doubled this quarter, to 28 per cent – up from 15 per cent in the previous survey.

At the same time, the number of

George and Fuhrmann Livestock Agent Brent Casey

farmers expecting conditions to worsen halved from 29 per cent to 13 per cent.

A total of 57 per cent expected conditions to remain stable for the coming year.

Mr Charteris said while the rebound in confidence had been partly driven by recent rains, seasonal conditions remained extremely mixed across the state.

“After an exceptionally dry winter, the rains finally arrived in October and there have been good follow-up falls in November, but it has done little to materially improve yield prospects in the state’s crops,” he said.

“It has been a really ‘mixed bag’ this season, with growers east of the Newell Highway looking at reasonable grain yields, while many crops will not be harvested

west of the Newell around Walgett, Coonamble and west of Coonabarabran and Dubbo.”

Mr Charteris said the condition of crops was also extremely variable in the Riverina, with country around Albury looking at an above-average crop, “but you don’t need to go too far away for things to drop away quickly”.

In vast contrast, the sentiment in the beef and sheep sectors was buoyed by the recent rains, with 73 per cent of beef producers and 58 per cent of sheep graziers who were expecting conditions to improve, nominating seasonal conditions as cause for their optimism.

But the positive sentiment prevailing in the grazing sector was also driven by the ongoing strength in the beef, lamb and wool markets, Mr Charteris said.

THE TWEED’S final cattle sale for the year took place at the Murwillumbah Cattle Saleyards on Monday, December 4, with strong sales and high demand continuing to prop up local and national beef farmers providing a positive outlook for 2018.

George and Fuhrmann Livestock Agent Brent Casey hosts the sales every fortnight in Murwillumbah and he caught up with The Weekly after the final cattle sales for 2017, to talk about the strengthening of the beef market during the past two years and the view for next year.

Mr Casey said cattle farmers had suffered through a lengthy drought up until 2015, however the past two years have provided a muchneeded boost for cattle farmers, who are in turn reinvesting in their local businesses.

“It was around Australia Day 2015 that the rain finally arrived and broke the drought which turned the beef industry around,” he said.

“The results of the rain have not only broken the drought, but really helped meet a growing demand locally and from overseas markets.

“We’re now seeing a lot of quality, but the demand is also high.”

Mr Casey said the Murwillumbah Cattle Yard sold 250 head of cattle on Monday, which he said was about average with some top quality livestock on offer.

“Calf and vealers were around $3.25 per kilo,” he said.

“It was a strong price, for restocker steers were $4.14 per

Busy winter flu season for hospitals Old time Christmas Eve carols at Uki deliver the best possible safe patient care to their communities.

“We know from feedback from our members that many nurses spent the winter period working extremely short staffed, missing meal breaks and working many hours of overtime just to keep up with demand.

“The results out today are yet another reason why the Berejiklian Government needs to seriously improve and expand the current nurse-to-patient ratios within our public hospital system.

“We know ratios save lives. The evidence is also clear that ratios work, when they are implemented correctly and are maintained at their minimum standard.

“Unfortunately, this year we have seen many instances of the minimum number of nurses to patients deliberately not being rostered, effectively robbing patients of the level of care they should be afforded.

“John Hunter, Royal North Shore and Hornsby are just a few of the hospitals we know have failed to uphold their minimum nurse-to-patient ratios across a number of wards and units in the past year.

“Our members are deeply disappointed and are fed up their calls for better nurse-topatient ratios continue to be ignored.”

Mr Holmes said it was imperative the Berejiklian Government and the NSW Ministry of Health took notice of their nursing and midwifery staff and deliver safe patient care for all of NSW through improved ratios.

THE SUPER talented and acclaimed local singer Lil’ Fi will team up with the Children’s Christmas Choir for a special old time Christmas Carols at Uki Café on Christmas Eve (December 24) from 5pm, that’s sure to warm the hearts and inspire the Christmas spirit.

The Weekly recently caught up with Lil’ Fi in between one of her regular classes with Possums Kids, which is currently located at Tumbulgum Primary School due to its Condong premises being devastated by the Tweed flood.

Lil’ Fi has become an inspiration to the lives of local artists and children alike by sharing her extraordinary musical talents and passion for music.

“The valley really needs a boost this Christmas,” she said.

“I’d like to invite everyone to book a table or bring a chair or blanket and come and

sing along.”

Lil’ Fi is a legendary Australian performer, singer and entertainer who holds five awards for best female vocalist at the Australian Blues Music Awards and has supported artists such as B.B. King.

But an accidental fall and a head injury several years ago led Lil’ Fi on a different path and one that’s inspired her to share her musical talents with children and teachers.

She’s also helping special needs children through the power of music therapy.

“We use a cross meridian stimulation of the brain with music and joy,” she said.

To find out more about Lil’ Fi’s music lessons for children, parents and teachers phone: 0417 479 152.

FIGURES RELEASED this week by the Bureau of Health Information indicate the highest ever recorded presentations to emergency departments during one quarter with a spike reported at both Tweed hospitals, prompting renewed calls by the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) for improved nurse-to-patient ratios.

The July-September quarter saw more than 720,000 patients presenting to hospital emergency departments for treatment across NSW including 4,386 or about 350 more patients than the previous year at Murwillumbah Hospital and 13,009 at Tweed Hospital which was around 630 more than the previous year (2016 JulySeptember).

The NSWNMA said they are concerned the generating of “massive workloads” for nurses, doctors and other hospital staff, was a result of the difficult flu season.

General Secretary of the NSWNMA, Brett Holmes, paid tribute to the nurses who worked tirelessly in the state’s emergency departments and across the public hospital system.

“First and foremost, we must acknowledge the efforts of hardworking nurses and other hospital staff who dug deep and were able to manage such a difficult influx of patients presenting to their emergency departments,” Mr Holmes said.

“There is no doubt the tough flu season this winter was a contributing factor towards a number of challenges faced by nurses, who went above and beyond to

Mr. Property Services – Celebrates 9th Anniversary

Mr. Property Services was established in 2008 to offer a professional and dedicated service at reasonable rates to the 'Buyers' and 'Sellers' of manufactured homes located in Lifestyle Villages and Residential Parks in the Tweed Valley and the southern tip of the Queensland Gold Coast.

Mr Property Services is pleased to announce that following on from a very successful 2015/2016 financial year we have continued to sustain our success rate with an all-time record for us of 55 completed sales during the last financial year ending 30th June 2017.

Sales results for the most popular Lifestyle Villages and Residential Parks:  10 at Cobaki Broadwater Village, Tweed Heads West  8 at The Palms Village, Tweed Heads South  9 at Tweed Broadwater Village, Tweed Heads South

OPAL AGED Care have put out the call for carers and primary caregivers to use their respite entitlements in order to alleviate the pressures of their daily routines.

If an aged care assessment (ACAT) is in place, elderly residents living in the community are entitled to up to 63 days of residential respite aged care a year.

“At Opal Aged Care we understand the challenges carers face,” an Opal Aged Care spokesperson said.

“For primary caregivers at home, it’s often difficult for them to recognise that they too need a break from time to time to take care for themselves and avoid becoming burnt out.

“That is why respite (or short term) care is so important.

“It can allow the carer the chance to reenergise, spend time with friends and other family members and take some time for personal errands that have been pushed aside for the demands of caregiving.”

Opal Florence Tower, Kirra Beach, Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads homes, offer respite care to support families needing a break.

“Our professional and friendly team is led by our Clinical Managers, and with Registered Nurses on site 24-hours a day, we can provide the very best in care for your loved one, including specialist care for those with complex diseases, such as dementia,” the spokesperson said.

“The homes offer fulfilling lifestyle

activities and outings, and residents enjoy freshly cooked nutritious meals by chefs in the comforts of Opal homes.

“Opal can also offer private respite if you don’t yet have an aged care assessment.

“Talk to us today to find out how we can help you.”

For more information phone: 1300 362 481.

TWEED SHIRE residents could soon be given a greater voice over planning decisions in their communities through a suite of reforms to the planning system announced this week.

Changes to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act) will mean that every Council, the Department of Planning and Environment and other NSW agencies will need to prepare a community participation plan that details how and when the community will be involved in planning matters.

NSW Department of Planning and Environment’s Deputy Secretary for Policy, Strategy & Governance, Alison Frame, said the recent reforms to the Act will promote confidence in planning through clearer and simpler upfront community involvement in the decision-making process.

“It is imperative that the community has a say on what is going on in their local area, city and state, so we are putting the provisions in place that formalise this process,” Ms Frame said.

“The plans will have to meet the minimum consultation requirements for community

participation. This includes minimum timeframes for public consultation for various processes under the Act.” These plans will have to reflect the mandatory minimum time periods which have been gathered together in one easy convenient place in the Act. These include a 14-day exhibition period for Development Applications, unless the Community Participation Plan says otherwise.

For Local Environmental Plans the minimum exhibition period is 28 days.

Authorities will be encouraged to go beyond the minimum requirements, however, in order to ensure the consultation suits the needs of the communities.

As part of the reforms, authorities will also have to take into consideration new community participation principles, which set the bar for how the community should be engaged.

“The principles state, among other things, that the community has a right to be informed about planning matters that affect it, and local residents should be given the opportunity to participate as early as possible in strategic planning,” Ms Frame said.

Husk offers first Aussie agricole rum

HUSK DISTILLERS has announced an all-new rum this week, which the company said is the very first spiced Australian agricole rum and just in time for Chrismas.

The rum is Husk Distillers’ second release in their North Coast Bar Series and Spiced Bam Bam starts as Husk’s unique expression paddock-to-bottle agricole rum, which is barrel infused with whole native and traditional botanicals.

Husk Distillery Manager Quentin Brival said many spiced rums on the market are not technically rums, but are spiced spirit-based drinks.

“We started with a smooth three to fouryear-old barrel-aged Australian agricole rum, and infused it with whole botanicals rather than flavour essences,” he said.

“The result is unmistakably Husk, an authentic and full-bodied rum, naturally spiced yet not overly sweet - a rare expression of our region captured in a bottle.”

Husk used roasted Australian wattle seed, local native ginger and sun-dried orange and mandarin peel combined with golden berries, whole Tahitian vanilla beans and cinnamon quills to create a unique spice flavour rounded and balanced with a sprinkle of sea salt.

“The addition of sea salt accentuates the undertones of the salt spray winds that fan the distillery from the nearby surf coast, while wattleseed and native ginger play on the palate and remind us of our roots between the ocean and the rainforest,” Distiller and Founder of Husk Distillers

Paul Messenger said.

Family owned Husk Distillers is Australia’s only agricole rum distillery, putting a distinctly Australian twist on this traditional French-Caribbean style of rum making.

Spiced Bam Bam follows the first release in the series - Pure Cane - the unadulterated, pure expression of Husk Distillers’ unaged Australian agricole.

Pure Cane‘s unique flavour profile can be used to replace many white spirits on back bars due to its versatility, and has picked up several international awards and medals.

“Pure Cane is more delicate, softer and better suited to the Australian palate than the very herbaceous and high alcohol volume white agricoles from Martinque,” Mr Brival said, who originally hails from the French Caribbean island of Martinique, the home of Rhum Agricole.

Promoted as the New Taste of Australian Rum, Husk Distillers is on a mission to change the way we perceive and drink rum in Australia Husk Distillers founder, Paul Messenger, sees Spiced Bam Bam as part of the company’s vision to introduce agricole rum to a new demographic of spiced rum drinkers, and perhaps act as an introduction to premium aged sipping agricoles such as 1866 Tumbulgum Rum or the yet to be released Husk Rum premium aged collection.

Spiced Bam Bam officially launches this week and will be available www. huskdistillers.com, and through selected bottle shops across the country.

THE OUTSTANDING achievements of 43 students from TAFE NSW Kingscliff and Murwillumbah in 2017 were celebrated at a special Awards of Excellence ceremony at the Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre Auditorium on Thursday, November 30.

The students were presented with award certificates and prizes in front of an audience of around 370 people, which included family, friends, teachers and employers.

Overall Student of the Year Lisa Tyler, who studied a Diploma of Specialist Makeup, said that her achievement would not have been possible without the guidance, support and encouragement from her ‘brilliant’ teachers, classmates, family and friends.

“I am humbled to be recognised for doing something I’m absolutely passionate about.

I hope that this will open doors to be able to follow my passion to work in movies,” said Ms Tyler.

The relieving Regional General Manager

for TAFE NSW in the North region, Marie Larkings, said that it was always great to celebrate students’ successes and acknowledge that they are making a real contribution to the economy and prosperity of our region.

“It’s evident from the commitment and high level of achievements shown that TAFE NSW was definitely much more than ‘a plan B’ for the students,” said Mrs Larkings.

“I’m totally confident that their plan A is well underway – they’re equipped with practical and relevant skills, valuable work experience and ready to take advantage of the thousands of employer connections we have regionally and across the state.”

Other major winners at the Student Awards ceremony included Merrick Chapman TVET Student of the Year; Peter Travers-Jones Trainee of the Year; Jai Bloom Apprentice of the Year; and Shala James Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year.

SANTALAND IS back and in full swing at the Salvo’s Store in Main Street, Murwillumbah, and there’s plenty of chances to get a great photo with Santa.

Last Saturday there were smiles all round from children and adults alike with several dates still available including the following dates December 8, 9, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23.

The friendly Santa greeted everyone walking by and made the children feel at ease when they had their photo taken.

The children who came in to Santaland were captivated by the beautiful display of decorations and toys that surround Santa.

Kathy Booth our photographer managed to get a smile from every child (and adult)

with her warm and friendly manner.

Santa will be at the Salvo’s Store on those dates from 10am to 12.30pm for photos.

Santa’s other photo days are Friday 15th, Saturday 16th and each day of the first week of the school holidays. All photo sessions are from 10am to 12.30pm.

Business owners are also being encouraged to get into the spirit and come along for a staff photo, just like Sandra and Alan Guthrie from Poster Paradise did on Saturday.

Let’s keep the dollars in Murwillumbah at Christmas time. Shop locally and support our beautifully decorated businesses.

Murwillumbah and District Business Chamber are proud to present Santaland again this year.

It Takes a Town has got behind local woman, Michelle Campbell, to create The Other Big Wet which is set to be an epic event with 7000 water bombs, squirters and beautiful holi powder to lamington the funloving crowd.

If you’re a lover of fun and water, this event is set to tick all of the boxes. In addition to three massive water fights for different age groups, there will be a water slide, sausage sizzle and the grand finale event of the onland swimming relay races.

“With support from The Murwillumbah Gym, the Austral Café, TRAC and Springloaded, we have nearly $1000 worth of prizes to distribute on the day,” said Michelle.

This free event is all about maximum fun and bringing together families with providers of activities and sports in the local area.

“As the $100 rebate for physical activity for

every child rolls out, we thought it would be a good idea to bring families together with providers of physical activity, so people know what’s available,” Michelle said.

“So often we hear young people say that ‘there’s nothing to do locally’. Well, there is in fact heaps to do.

“We have compiled an eight-page list of activities for kids and young people, ranging from art classes to rugby to dancing to free walking trails and playgroups.”

This list will be available for collection at the event. There will also be providers of physical activity at the event with information.

Michelle’s big dream is to run a series of gold coin donation “introductory sessions” with local clubs to further promote the vast array of activities we have available and encourage kids to become involved in not just sports, but an interest other than just hanging out and social media.

The Other Big Wet will be held on Saturday, December 16, from 11am to 2pm at the soccer fields, Queens Park at the corner of Queensland and Mooball Streets, Murwillumbah.

FILMS th Mia wi

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Do we need another one? Do we want it? Does it make sense in this time and age? I don’t know, but we are going to get it anyway..! I am talking about the new Star Wars movie, releasing next week to keep up the tradition of the year-end super blockbuster to keep cinemas busy and audiences happy during the Christmas holidays.

The franchise began in 1977 with the release of the film Star Wars, which became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. At the beginning there was the original trilogy, then came the prequel trilogy, then the sequel trilogy. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the eighth episode of the Skywalker family saga, but the saga is not finished yet - another episode has already been announced for next year.

The Last Jedi will be particularly poignant for the fans of the series since one of the main protagonists of the films, the actress Carrie Fisher, passed away soon after completing work on The Last Jedi, which became her final film role.

Unfortunately I belong to the minority of people who did not grow up watching Star Wars, so it took me a while before I could be convinced to watch it, as sci-fi and fantasy are not my favorite movie genres. I still get confused with all the characters and the complicated plots, but I must admit that when I suspend disbelief and let myself be swept up by the spectacular special effects and the ingrained romanticism of the stories I really enjoy watching them. So, it is with hope and some excitement that I will join the hordes of Star Wars fans filling up cinemas and briefly inhabiting a different world…!

ACCLAIMED LOCAL and international landscape artist Barbara Suttie will launch an exciting new exhibition at Kettles on Café at Kingscliff on Friday, December 15, with a range of amazing works on display.

The exhibition is in conjunction with Kettles on Café owner Jordan Rosenberg and musician Haris Schamburg and will start at 5.30pm with music and snacks provided.

Barbara has been extremely busy during the past year and is high demand with an invitation to show her works at the New York Exhibition and an opportunity to paint for the New York International Women’s exhibition.

The Weekly recently caught up with Barbara to talk about her connection to the Tweed Shire and inspirations.

“I grew up in Eltham in the 70s, an area known for mudbrick houses, potters and other artists and a sense of community connections

and creative thinkers,” she said.

“Moving to the Tweed Valley in the 80s where creative energies, artists and community spirit and the alluring Mt Warning and the Caldera surrounds and its fabulous beaches existed making the decision of leaving the city an easy one.”

Barbara said she draws a lot of her inspiration from the natural landforms, coast and inland waterways.

“And most recently the amazing cloudscapes that we have been given inspire me,” she said.

“In this region there are so many artists, photographers, writers and musicians that inspire me and those influences are woven into my representational and less representational artworks.

“Back in the studio I am inspired by bird sound and frog sound recordings, indigenous music, soul, DJ Suttie Psytrance and classical mostly created at a local or national level.

“My students inspire me immensely in a multitude of

ways. They give me so much when they share their own creative journeys, fun and enthusiasm.”

Barbara also provided readers with some of her current exhibitions.

“I have a kaleidoscope of happenings,” she said.

“Kettles on Café 78-80 Marine Parade Kingscliff have invited me again. This year with a difference as there is an opening launch event on Friday, December 15, at 5.30pm that will weave in new local images, limited edition quality photo prints, and aluminium prints.

“Jordan (Owner of Café) likes to support community initiatives and support local

artists so Harris Schamburg musician will be playing and I will be there to meet and sign artworks.

“M-Arts precinct has invited me for my next season workshop held on January 20. I hope to run more and work closely with the art and business community,” she said.

“New York has invited me to enter two exhibitions one of which is a collaboration of women’s art around the world. So painting for the overseas market and residencies will be a focus. Then there is the Murwillumbah Art Trail and Canadian visit but that’s another story.”

Featured Business

Cabarita Mini Diggers. I have been involved in earthmoving and construction for over 20 years, operating a wide range of machines from loaders backhoes excavators etc in my early years. I got involved in mineral exploration in the 1980’s and moved into supervising and managing exploration drilling projects resulting in some major discoveries.

I was responsible for all the earthmoving for roads camp construction and environmental controls both in Australia and overseas. My wife, Son and I relocated to Murwillumbah from Perth to chase my love of surfing around 2000. I decided to start a handyman business that I operated for 6 years.

The call of exploration opportunities came along and I went back to fly in fly out. Just recently I decided to give up fly in fly out and try something I enjoy and can do local. So my wife and I decided to start Cabarita Mini Digger about 8 months ago.

We do all limited access and general earthworks .We can do a wide range of jobs from Concrete preparation, Palm tree stump removal, drainage, Driveway repairs

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

HOW’S YOUR GARAGE DOOR?

Especially effective in helping to restore balance if suffering from trauma, whether present or past including PTSD, anxiety, shock, depression, addiction, sexual issues, grief, panic, confusion, relationship distress, physical illness that won’t heal like thyroid disease, adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue, cancer, hormonal imbalances, auto-immune diseases, infertility, chronic pain, immobility and generally just feeling unwell with no real understanding as why?

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.

POLICE BEAT Man arrested after crashing two stolen cars

Charges laid over Kingscliff fire A 31-YEAR-OLD male has been charged with two counts of setting fires at Kingscliff which thankfully were able to be controlled

by Kingscliff Fire Fighters.

Police said around 1.10am on Sunday, December 3, they observed heavy smoke coming from the beach area opposite the Kingscliff Police Station.

“As police approached the intersection of Beach Street, a glow from a fire could be seen close to a beach access off Jack Bayliss Park,” police said in a media statement.

“Police observed a large fire, about 5 metres south of beach access number KIN 12.

“This fire was well alight in the bushland between the sand and foreshore park fence. It covered an area about 70-metres long along the foreshore fence line and about four to five metres deep. There were approximately three smaller spot fires leading to the major fire.

Police spoke to two people and a 31-year-old male was charged with two counts of setting fires. He was refused bail and will appear at Tweed Heads Local Court.

A second person is still wanted by police.

TWEED POLICE have arrested and charged a 38-year-old Queensland man who allegedly carried out a violent home invasion at Banora Point on Sunday, December 3, at about 3.30am.

Police said at about 8.40am on Tuesday, December 5, the man was arrested at a home in Beenleigh, Queensland.

“It is anticipated that he will be charged with several offences including an outstanding warrant by Queensland Police who also located the stolen vehicle in Ormeau with a quantity of allegedly stolen property,” police said in a media statement.

Police said they received reports of a break-in at a home on Firestone Drive, where a man and a woman had forcibly entered the property and threatened a male resident with a knife.

The pair then assaulted the resident and tied

him up.

“The resident, a 41-year-old man, was able to escape and notify authorities,” police said.

“He was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics for facial injuries, but declined hospital treatment.”

Officers searching the house located a woman inside and she was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and later charged with aggravated break and enter, committing a serious indictable offence, inflicting actual bodily harm, detaining a person in company with the intent to obtain advantage and goods in custody.

She appeared in Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, December, 4.

The man stole a silver-coloured Ford Kuga SUV from the property which had NSW registration “04LIFE”.

Banora Point home invader nabbed

The Holden Astra in the Rous River at Dulguigan

A 24-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with 13 offences after police responded to reports of a stolen vehicle at Dulguigan on Saturday, December 2.

Police will allege the man was driving a stolen Queensland Holden Astra on Dulguigan Road when the vehicle lost control, leaving the roadway and entering the Rous River.

The driver and another female occupant managed to free themselves from the sinking vehicle and entered a rural property situated on Dulguigan Road, Dulguigan.

At this property, the driver found an unattended Holden Rodeo which he entered and commenced driving from the location.

He was unable to maintain control of the utility, colliding with an irrigation channel.

He then fled on foot along Dulguigan Road before being arrested by police. An investigation was commenced leading police to the site of the earlier crash involving the Holden Astra.

A coordinated, multi-agency search was commenced in the Rous River in search of the exact location of the submerged Holden Astra as police said they held concerns of the possibility of unaccounted occupants of this vehicle.

About 2pm the vehicle was discovered by a SES officer utilising his private vessel that had Sonar attached within the Rous River some distance from where it entered.

“The joint efforts of police, SES crews, Fire and Rescue crews, (HAZMAT) a civilian’s tractor and two Tow Truck operators saw the successful extrication of the stolen Holden Astra,” police said in a media statement.

A search of the vehicle was conducted leading to the discovery of multiple sets of number plates, breaking and entering implements, drug paraphernalia and items linking this vehicle with other stolen vehicles in the area.

The driver was charged with thirteen offences and was refused bail.

Off-duty police officer assaulted TWEED POLICE have charged a 27-yearold man with assaulting an off-duty police officer and after he resisted arrested Boyds Bay Bridge on Saturday, December 2.

Police said it was around 4.50am when the off-duty police officer was on his way home from work and he noticed the man spraying graffiti on a pylon at Boyds Bay Bridge.

The officer arrested the male who became

immediately violent towards the office and punched and kicked him in the the head and torso area.

Further officers arrived shortly after and assisted with the arrest of the offender who continued to lash out at police.

He has been charged with assaulting police and graffiti offences.

Bowls Notes

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

with Judy Tuckey

2017 IS coming to an end far too quickly. Looking back over the past year our District bowlers, both genders, have certainly produced wonderful results at all levels of competition and should be applauded for their prowess on the greens.

However, the big event on Club calendars, at year end, would have to be the annual “Skirts Vs Shirts” challenge many clubs conduct - a friendly, but fiercely contested tournament that the Shirts, no matter which club, dominate without fear or favour each year and continuously revel in their so called superiority.

In spite of this, undeterred, the Skirts return each year for more punishment, whilst bearing in mind that a local charity will benefit from the event.

Cudgen Leagues B.C. recent Skirts Vs Shirts contest, conducted over two games of 11 ends, resulted in the Shirts taking the first game (as expected).

However, rumour has it that the Skirts had spent time in a secret training camp and that, coupled with being flushed following their recent District Shield win, fired them up as they knuckled down for the second game. Going hammer

and tongs in this final game, the Skirts picked up an 18-3 count on one rink but other rink scores were extremely tight leaving the ladies apprehensive but still hopeful.

Nonetheless, with games completed, it was time to tally up.

Drum roll, please! One has to feel sorry for President Col as he choked whilst delivering the result. Hang on - wait for it Skirts 140 defeated Shirts 136!

Congratulation Cudgen ladies on a super duper result.

However, most importantly, the real winner on the day was the Kingscliff Branch of Far North Coast Legacy which was the recipient of $1000 raised at this event. Well done Cudgen Leagues Bowling Club.

T.B.D.B.A’s. Annual Charity Day, hosted by Cabarita Beach M.B.C., drew a full compliment of teams from within the District to attend. Local business houses came on board with very generous donations of various items to raffle. With two games of 2 bowl triples on the card, the big winner on the day was Tweed Palliative Care Wedgetail Hospice - the nominated charity selected for this event. Over $1300 raised from club’s donations, green fees, raffles, etc. was very much appreciated by Wedgetail Retreat manager, Meredith. Way

Cudgen Leagues Presidents Lyn Pickett and Col Lacey, well armed and ready for combat

to go, bowlers.

Byron Bay Bowling Club is going all festive this year with Christmas Mixed Pairs on the agenda for Sunday 17 December. Mufti, 3 bowl pairs commencing 1 pm.

Trophies will be Christmas prizes (hams, cakes, etc.) and every team will get a prize. Now, you can’t beat that!

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Swimming North Coast Long Course Championships 2017

ENTRIES WERE once again up for the North Coast Long Course when compared to last year to 3022 and swimmers also up to 394.

The clubs entered were down overall with only one visiting club as against last year’s 4.

However Area clubs were up by one.

Sixty-seven new able bodied Championship records were broken with Trinity Lismore scoring 19 of these –7 to 12year old Tylah Crabtree and also 7 to Alexander McKenna who is 18. Multi Class records 95 with 34 going to Lismore Workers and 13 year old

Ben Auckram breaking 12 who is an S8.

A Provisional New South Wales Multi Class record has been set by Madelaine Goodridge of the Laurieton club who swims in the S 7 class in the 50 metres Breast. This has to be ratified by Swimming New South Wales.

The Rex Clark Memorial trophy for the Open Mixed Medley Relay was won by Port Macquarie team and was presented by some of Mr Clark’s descendants. The Tim Mullens memorial was presented by his father Michael Mullens to the winner of the 13 years 100 freestyle—Adam Grant from Port Macquarie.

The Overall club point score this year was a stand out for Port Macquarie being 1,200 ahead of Coffs Harbour and then 900 points behind them in third place Trinity Lismore.

Swimming at these Championships were eager to compete to meet the criteria for the Area Development squads membership for next year’s squad days and touring squads.

A great weekend of competition. Thanks must go to the hard working officials who ran these Championships. Also thanks to the Coffs Harbour club for a valiant job of watering and feeding the officials all weekend.

Australian Title to Wrap Up an

AWESOME 2017 OVER THE last ten days Australia’s best junior surfers have taken up residence at Culburra Beach in NSW. It’s home to, now two time World Champion Tyler Wright and her family, and all on the beach were stoked to be on the hallowed sands as Tyler was crowned World Champion this week, while they all went head-to-head for their own titles.

Coolangatta surfer Piper Harrison still seemed to be carrying the same momentum she had when she took out the recent Phillip Island Pro WSL Qualifying Series event

only a few weeks ago, bagging herself the Under-18 Girls Australian Title. Harrison attacked the punchy lefthanders in her heat to be rewarded with a 14.00 heat total which gave her the upper hand against fellow Queensland competitor Sasha Baker (Mudjimba, Qld) who took out second place.

Piper is more than happy with the incredible year she’s had. “Yeah, I’m pretty stoked with the results I’ve had this year. I feel like I’ve definitely stepped up a level with my surfing and competition stategies. My training hasn’t Tel. 07 5576 6299 really changed much, I’ve learned how to continue www.ffsqld.com.au just with my training while on the 12/43 Tallebudgera Creek Rd, West Burleigh road.”

Tapped in to the waves

With Terry Tappa’ Teece

Gilmore takes out Honolua Bay

Well looks like Stephanie Gilmore is back with vengance, after her win at Honolulu Bay last weekend. She has had a pretty good year finishing 2nd on the Women’s World Rankings.

Gilmore came charging into 2017 with a big win at her home break at the Roxy Pro Gold Coast and battled throughout the year for the 2017 WSL Title. With Wright clinching the World Title crown yesterday, Gilmore was not able to win her seventh title but was able to claim an historic fourth event win at Honolua Bay. “This means the world to me, this is so awesome,” said Gilmore. “When I couldn’t win the World Title, this was the next best thing. I started at the top in the beginning of the year and then I was a hot mess in the middle but that is all part of it. That is what I love about the sport -- you are always learning. What an incredible event to come here and have all the drama unfold and to come out on top is really special. I am so happy.”

Gilmore, 2017 World Title runner-up, is now just one CT event win and one World

Title win away from tying event and title records with Australian Layne Beachley.

The 29-year-old finishes the year in second place on the Jeep Leaderboard and is excited for the upcoming 2018 CT schedule.

“It has never really been so important to get the numbers, I’ve just always wanted to win and win in style,” continued Gilmore.

“That would be awesome to match Layne Beachley’s record, but obviously I have to go one better, right? This is my 11th year on Tour, so most of the places I go to now just feel like home. There’s nothing more rejuvenating than having WSL show their support and ask us girls, ‘What do we need to grow the Tour? What do we need to do to evolve the sport?’ For us to be able to give them our feedback and for them to be like, ‘Okay let’s go to J-Bay. Let’s go to Keramas.

Let’s really put the women and the men in the best waves.’ That means the world. That gets me more excited than ever before to be on Tour for another year and to chase another World Title.”

Look out I reckon she may take the title in 2018!!

Between the Flags

SLSC Keith Kennedy

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL triathlon held at Kingscliff last Sunday. Thanks to our members who provided the water safety with our I.R.B.’s and rescue boards who had an early start.

Swansea-Belmont Surf Club, the venue for the last and this seasons State titles this weekend will celebrate their 90th year.

We have a ‘sister’ relationship with them and they have been our guests on several occasions when bringing their competitors up to the Gold Coast. Quite a few of their members are also members of our Old Boys Association. They include well known rugby league representative such as Paul Harragon, Brett Mullins, Brett and Jason Hetherington. Guest speaker is Les Boyd.

Cudgen will be represented by Kim Holdom.

Next weekend is also the N.S.W. InterBranch Championships also in the Newcastle Branch at Stockton which is on the northern side of the Hunter River at Newcastle. Our club has seven members selected in the -14 yrs. to 12 yr. group and

fourteen in 15 yr. to open along with six in the management team.

State and Country selectors will monitor the performance of those nominated in the previously announced squad of 40 of which the N.S.W. team of 24 will contest the InterState series in South Australia in January at Moana. Three of our members are in this squad.

Next Sunday there is a Juniors Carnival hosted by Cabarita and a combined Nippers activity day at home for those not competing.

A small group contested the Oceans 38 Carnival at Bilinga last Saturday. The 38 refers to the number of Qld. Clubs stretching from Rainbow Bay to the north of clubs in the Pt. Danger, South Coast and Sunshine Coast Branches. Only water events were contested namely surf race, iron person, board, ski and board, ski and taplin relay.

Large entries with multiple heats to finals.

Anthea Warne had 10 races and was placed 2nd in the -17 yr. Iron Woman and Surf ski.

Hayley Smith who moves into the -17 yr. this season was 5th in the surf and 6th in the

board. Lily O’Sullivan gained third in the 15 yr. surf and 5th in the board. Clubs from Coffs Harbour to Sunshine Beach and one N.Z. took part. Point score, Cudgen 12th.

At the Junior teams carnival at Byron Bay the club did well with good results overall.

Some included winning the All Age Relay with 2nd’s in the march past and board relay.

Kingy Tri attracts thousands to coast LAST SUNDAY, December 3, Kingscliff hosted the biannual Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Kingscliff Triathlon, welcoming more than 1200 athletes plus nearly 3000 supporters from across New South Wales and Queensland.

The weekend opened on Saturday afternoon with a performance by the 1st Regiment Royal Australian Artillery Band in Lions Park. Triathlon organisers partnered with the Kingscliff RSL to bring the band to a packed crowd with over 600 locals and visitors estimated to have taken in the performance.

Despite worries earlier in the week about potential wet weather, the race went start to finish without rain and athletes enjoyed good race conditions.

Competition was very tight in the Elite categories with the Men’s Open category being taken by Brandon Copeland and the Women’s Open won by Gillian Backhouse.

Local paratriathlete Bill Chaffey finished with the second overall fastest time on the day.

Road closures north of Seaview Street from Marine Parade to Chinderah due to the cycle course of the triathlon finished at 11am, and all roads were open by 1.15pm.

“Talking to the athletes, many of the them have come to Kingscliff for the first time because of the event and have now become now loyal visitors throughout the year, said Race Director Michael Crawley.

Athletes love the location, the vibe in the

village, and the variety of cafes and shops along Marine Parade.”

Early results of the post event survey of athletes estimate that each athlete stayed an average of 3.25 nights and spent $275 in town each day because of the triathlon.

The survey also indicates that 35 per cent of visitors had never been to Kingscliff before, and of those 52 per cent will be returning in the next year for a holiday.

Overall, triathlon participants visit Kingscliff on average four times per year for the triathlon, training, and holidays.

The event’s official charity is the Cudgen Headlands Surf Life Saving Club and organisers also helped raise funds for a number of other community groups including Tweed South Rotary, Pottsville & District Men’s Shed, Currumbin Dragon Boaters; Tweed Raiders Junior Rugby League Club; Tweed Valley Tri Club; and, Murwillumbah Venturer Scouts.

It is projected over $10,000 will be raised for local charities, community groups, and the employment of local young people as a result.

The Kingscliff Triathlon is back on Sunday, March 18, when it will host both State Series and State Championship races.

Event organisers thank local residents and businesses for working with the event despite any inconvenience caused by road closures.

TIPS FROM THE RANGE

with Graeme Trew

Pitching Most golfers either struggle to judge distance, or miss hit small lofted shots poorly.

There are several systems on how to hit pitch shots. The one I use is really quite simple.

1. Start without a club and get into your golf posture.

Now lets take a very small swing where by your hands swing just past your right knee and finish just past your left knee to finish.

2. Next we go from hip to hip, rib to rib, chest to chest, shoulder to shoulder and head to head.

3. Now rehearse these length swings with a lob wedge or a sand wedge.

4. You need to have a consistent rhythm to become consistent 5. Time to add a ball and to work out how far the ball will travel in the air with each different length swing.

Get to the range and practice this shot as you could shave many shots from your score!
