THE NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has fined Tweed Shire Council $15,000 after a sewage overflow occurred at Banora Point Waste Water Treatment Plant in November 2017, with 20 megalitres of partially treated effluent flowing into Terranora Creek.

Tweed Shire Council was quick to notify residents of the incident at the time of the spill and warned residents not to enter the water around Terranora Creek.

Further tests found that E-coli levels had reduced back to safe levels and the warning was lifted.

Tweed Shire Council operates the treatment plant according to an Environment Protection Licence (EPL) issued by the EPA. An EPA media spokesperson said the licence specifies a range of conditions that protect water, air and land from the treatment of raw sewage.

“In November 2017, Council notified the EPA of a sewer overflow which resulted in approximately 20 megalitres of partially treated effluent flowing into to Terranora Creek,” the EPA statement reads.

The EPA media statement also highlighted a range of operational errors.

“An incident report from Council showed that operational errors had caused the overflow including a

failure to identify that equipment was not operating, a failure to respond to alarms promptly, and a failure to correctly operate valves,” the statement reads.

“EPA fined Tweed Shire Council $15,000 for allegedly failing to comply with the conditions of its licence, including the requirement to discharge treated effluent within the concentration limits specified in the licence.”

EPA Regional Director North Branch Adam Gilligan said any licensee who breaches their licence conditions should expect compliance action from the EPA. “It is important for licensees to ensure the appropriate systems and training are in place and are followed to prevent incidents like this,” Mr Gilligan said.

“At sewage treatment plants, a failure to abide by licence conditions can result in serious pollution events. It was fortunate that the environmental impacts on Terranora Creek were limited in this case.”

In a further media statement, Tweed Shire Council Director of Engineering David Oxenham said Council holds an EPL that allows the release of treated wastewater into Terranora Creek.

“Due to infrastructure control issues, partially treated wastewater that exceeded limits prescribed by Council’s

EPL was discharged to the waterway between 5 - 8 November 2017,” he said.

“As soon as our staff became aware of this issue, they worked immediately to limit the release of effluent and implemented an emergency response.

“The Council also undertook significant operational works to ensure that all subsequent effluent released was compliant with licence requirements.”

Mr Oxenham said Council has undertaken an incident cause analysis and has implemented key findings to reduce the risks of a similar event in the future.

“We have made improvements to our mechanical and electrical controls at the site as well as delivered additional training to operational staff,” he said.

Council operates eight wastewater treatment plants across the shire, treating approximately 7800 million litres of wastewater each year.

TWEED COAST residents remain baffled by several photos of an estimated 15 juvenile sharks, which appear to have been dumped on the rocks of the South Head (Tweed bar) break wall at Letitia Spit on Friday, February 16.

A Banora Point resident Laelia Gardner told the media that she took several photographs of the sharks at about 10am, but after she returned to the site an hour later they were gone.

“Strangely the sharks had disappeared from the site roughly an hour later without a trace,” she said.

Several people have since speculated that the sharks had been expertly cut to bleed them in order to prepare the sharks for sale.

Aside from the cut to bleed the sharks, their fins were intact prompting even more speculation including whether the sharks had been photoshopped (digitally edited) into the photos.

Mrs Gardner said she was appalled by the sharks being allegedly dumped and questioned whether anyone should be held to account for the sharks’ slaying.

She said she wanted to emphasise the importance of maintaining a healthy

shark population across the Tweed Coast.

“The unknown importance of sharks, maintaining the ecosystem of the ocean,” she posted on social media.

“Removing the sick fish and keeping the balance to ensure the diversity by competitors in the same food chain.”

The Weekly spoke with Member for Tweed Geoff Provest about the discovery and said he’d spoken to NSW Fisheries.

“The Fisheries Department told me the maximum number of sharks you can catch, for this particular species, the maximum number that any one person can take is five sharks,” Mr Provest said.

Mr Provest said he was unsure why the shark catch may have been dumped on the rock wall, but he said there had been no laws broken.

The Weekly also spoke with the NSW Department of Primary Industries who said the sharks found disposed of at Fingal Head on Friday, are likely to be Sliteye Sharks, based on fin colouration and shape of pectoral fin.

However, several other experts have viewed the photos and said the shark

species was instead a type of Mako Shark.

“Each fisher can take a total of five of these sharks per day,” the DPI media spokesperson said.

“There is no size limit on this species and the NSW Department of Primary Industries will investigate to determine if there’s been any illegal activity.”

The Department of Primary Industries promotes responsible fishing including only catching sufficient fish for your immediate needs and disposing of all litter and fish waste responsibly.

Any suspected illegal activity can be reported through the Fishers Watch phone line or visit the DPI website.

Opal card tips very helpful

I would like to thank Charles Shipway for informing us about Opal cards (TVW Feb 15), thereby letting other people know about it .

I was down in Sydney recently and the trains were not running from my station and passengers were provided with a bus to Blacktown, so there I could buy an Opal card. But of course the newsagent man said adult cards only. So I have copied down the phone number and information for future use.

If I’d known I could get the Seniors card at Central, maybe I could have bought a ticket to there and then purchased a Seniors card as I had to change at Central anyway.

Di Watson, Murwillumbah

Tyalgum Road school zone

My concern is the 40km/h school zone on Tyalgum Road near the Hare Krishna farm.

The Hare Krishna School is 1.5kms away and I can not understand why we need to be doing 40km/h in an 80km/h zone.

When you turn off Tyalgum Road you have to go down a very steep hill over a little rickety bridge with no handrails over the Oxley river, through the little town and houses, then a long walk around an unfenced dam up a steep hill to the school.

I would love to hear if this is bothering anyone else.

Belinda Grace, Uki

Last chance to stop B-Doubles

On March 22 at 10am at 477 Urliup Road, Bilambil the Land & Environment Court will be determining whether to allow 19 metre B-Double trucks with a legal weight of 50 tonnes to operate on an unlimited basis seven days a week between the water mine and the bottling factory in Queensland.

Many of these trucks are designed to carry petrol, with expansion room in the tanks and can actually be illegally loaded to 57 tonnes if carrying water.

All residents of the shire should be concerned about this, not just the residents of Kennedy Drive and the parents of children at the school at the bottom of Bilambil Hill, where the trucks will travel down the steep grade from an 80km/h zone into the 40km/h school zone with cars queuing at the pedestrian crossing.

Once approved by the Court it will set a precedent throughout the shire, 50 tonne petrol tankers delivering to Bray Park and Uki, 50 tonne double Cane Trucks and general freight to any road in the shire no matter how narrow.

As a former member of the Traffic Committee I was amazed that this committee recently recommended to Council that they allow this size truck to travel to Uki. I can recall a similar request from a different trucking company some years ago.

Members of the committee actually went out into the field rather than approving something from an office and followed the company’s gun driver on a test run to see if it could be done without crossing onto the incorrect side of the road.

The left turn from Wollumbin Street into Riverview Street and the sharp bend in Riverview St between Hartigan and James St with the potential for oncoming school buses and a long history of injury crashes were identified as issues. With the B-Double crossing over unbroken lines and onto the incorrect side of the road at these points the request was not approved.

The landholder of the water mine has allegedly refused permission for the Court and the public gallery to enter his property for the hearing.

Council lawyers representing the shire ratepayers who are already footing the bill for road damage, will be arguing against the approval and have advised that if entry is denied the hearing will take place on the road reserve in front of the property.

I invite all concerned people to attend and participate in democracy.

Park your car between the water mine entrance and the Bilambil end of Urliup Road and show the judge as he/she travels from the airport and the Sydney based court that residents of this shire don’t want their roads trashed or their water taken.

Politicians should listen

I read an article recently that trust in Australian politicians has reached an all time low and is just above that of Russia. Australian politicians are being exposed in hypocrisy, nepotism, rorts and scamming travel allowances while their words seem just pretense to fool the public into voting for them. I had the wonderful experience of seeing an honest, caring and determined politician at work last week.

At the Tweed Shire Council the issue of accepting the funding for the rail trail on our railway line came up and the Greens mayor, Katie Milne, shone out in her determination to speak up for the needs of ordinary people and our children’s future. Other councillors seemed unresponsive to information from the rail trail group and train supporters about having the option of the bike trail running next to the

track. With each argument Katie offered reasoned and knowledgeable responses to the point where finally the sensible option of researching the costs of putting the trail next to the track was accepted. I want to thank Katie Milne, Chris Cherry and Ron Cooper for voting for the many instead of the few.

Why throw away future possibilities of trains running to the Gold Coast, Byron and Lismore to join the main line? We need politicians like Katie, who can stand and fight for us with reason and evidence. We need to support those who care.

Beth Shelley, Booerie Creek

Trains won’t return For years the ‘bring back the trains’ folk have been beating drums about returning the trains to the tracks. Yet there is no funding from neither state nor federal government - the trains will not be returning.

The Casino to Murwillumbah trains were stopped 20 years ago because they were not viable. They are still not viable. The train line was never a sustainable passenger line; it was built to transport local agricultural produce to the Sydney market. Trains can never solve the transport problems in the Northern Rivers.

The Northern Rivers Rails Trail has received over $150,000 in support from community donations and now $13 million from state and federal government for the Tweed Shire segment. The rail trail is a sustainable, community supported, state supported and federally supported infrastructure project that will benefit our communities by repurposing a decrepit stateowned asset.

To quote the success of the solar train at Byron bay as a segway for the return of trains is a misrepresentation. This line is only 3km long, is privately funded, has only operated for 7 weeks and runs between a 5 star resort and one of the busiest holiday towns in Australia. It is terrific, but a fun novelty at best.

Talk of mixing train and walking/ bike path is not feasible. Cyclists and walkers need to feel safe. Imagine the difficulties of a mixed use of tunnels, bridges and road crossings. The use of existing rail infrastructure is a key component of the rail trail.

Our rail trail is an opportunity to create a world class facility for tourists and locals. Don’t ignore this opportunity to invigorate the small communities long the disused track and save the state owned rail corridor. Please support the Northern Rivers Rail Trail.

Lisa White, Kingscliff

Trains would be costly Regarding the rail trail versus train debate, economics, studies, personal views and anecdotal evidence needs to be set aside. The facts are that the Murwillumbah to Casino rail corridor is over 100 years old, built in a time when roads were poor and the steam boat provided freight and passenger services for the majority coastal communities. It was built with pick and shovel, blood and sweat. Looking at those tunnels and viaducts transports the viewer back to Victorian times. It is a physical time machine.

Sure trains are the way of the future and Elon Musk will apparently save us all. But not until we have a population the size of Brisbane south of the border will the trains come.

We can squabble and protest and show facts and figures but all this does is lock up this asset allowing it to fall into further ruin. We then deny the public usage of an asset it quite rightly owns.

‘It’s a waste of money’ some say but before this argument is put forward please have a look at what City Rail and the NSW TrainLink costs the taxpayer each and every single day of operation. It is staggering.

There is an opportunity to preserve, utilise and wonder at this remarkable feat of engineering, right here and right now.

Using the corridor now ensures its maintenance and viability and preserves it for our future generations.

leaving the train tracks in situ while the bike trail was being constructed.

After listening to a civil engineer with 35 years experience address Council and explain that we could have not only a rail trail but the train service back in operation from Murwillumbah to Casino for less than $13 million (the amount Council has been given by NSW state and federal governments), Cr Byrnes voted against the train service.

At our march from the railway station to Council last Wednesday there were over 100 people in attendance and I have never, in all my years of protesting, heard so many cars honking and hooting.

Clearly this is what the overwhelming majority want. Only a minority of people into fitness are going to use the rail trail for bicycling and walking.

The Northern Star poll found 70 per cent wanted trains not bike trails, the ABC Facebook poll showed 60 per cent of people want trains only 40 per cent want a bike track (excluding five million tourists to the region who need transport).

Farmers are dead against the rail trail because it means people can easily access their property, possibly with dogs, and bring fungus and disease to their crops and threaten their cattle. They feel the biosecurity of their food crops will be at risk.

At the very least Cr Byrnes could have investigated the possibility of a rail trail and a train track for $13 million. Instead he wanted a rail trail with no guarantee that the tracks would not be ripped up in the process. How is that ‘fighting for you in the issues that are important to us’?

Six-storey building refusal lands in court TWEED SHIRE Councillors have voted to refuse a split sixstorey development at Marine Parade, Kingscliff that could set an “undesired precedent” for future developments, that has already landed in the Land and Environment Court.

The development application, lodged with Council last year, seeks to construct two buildings at the site. The first, a fourstorey building facing Marine Parade and the other, a three-storey building at the rear of the site with access to Hungerford Lane, giving the appearance of a six-storey building from Marine Parade.

Councillors voted at their Ordinary Meeting on Thursday, February 22, to refuse the development application on multiple grounds including exceeding building heights and setting an “undesired precedent” for developments on Marine Parade.

The site’s zoning allows for mixed-use developments to a maximum building height of 13.6 metres, whilst the Draft Kingscliff Locality Plan proposes a maximum building height 12.2 metres.

Plans for the development outline a maximum building height of 18.2 metres over a steep portion of the site that has a 25 per cent gradient. From Marine Parade the two buildings have a combined height of 25 metres.

In the application to Council the developer blamed the steep nature of the site as the reason for going above the maximum building heights.

“The requirement for a maximum 13.6m building height is unnecessary in the case,” the development application states.

“The small encroachment above the 13.6m building height is the direct result

Council legal cost blowout

TWEED SHIRE Council has had a $550,000 budget blowout after spending more than $600,000 on legal costs in the previous quarter.

Council’s budget allows for $280,000 in legal expenses, however $739,000 has been spent since July 2017.

A report presented to councillors at their February Ordinary Meeting estimated an additional $550,000 would be required to fund the “current shortfall, committed and future legal matters”.Of these costs, $605,178 was spent on Planning and Environmental Law. $231,213 was spent representing Council in the Land and Environment Court following their refusal of a 60-lot subdivision at 26 Tringa Street, Tweed Heads West. The case concluded on December 15 and is still awaiting a ruling.

Council has spent a total of $478,000 and $280,000 since June 2017 in legal fees to stop unauthorised activities occurring at 2 Soorley Street, Tweed Heads South, after the landowner removed fencing and allowed cattle to graze on their property.

Hearings were held in November 2017, with further hearings scheduled for June this year.

Artist’s impression of 26 Marine Parade development

of significant drop off and slope on the site, therefore making for a difficult and restrictive building height envelope.”

However, Council planners said building above the permitted maximum building height was not the only option for the site.

“Councils’ assessment of the above found that whilst it is acknowledged the subject site features a steep topography with a significant increase in grade approximately 28m into the site from Marine Parade, the proposed building height is not surpassed as a result of this topography,” Council’s report read.

“The area of variation is visible from Marine Parade resulting in the presentation of six (6) storeys of development in a location characterised by three storeys of development.

“In addition, whilst it is screened from the built form at the Hungerford Lane interface; that built form is connected to the area of the building

which exceeds the maximum permitted building height and is not consistent with the existing or desired streetscape character at Hungerford Lane, therefore the justification provided in item (2) of the applicants submission under Clause 4.6(3)(a) is not well founded.”

Further reasons for refusing the development application also included not meeting state planning controls over the design of the apartments, lack of parking for the ground floor retail component, poor vehicular access to the site and sight distances on Marine Parade that are “considered to be dangerous and not compliant”, noncompliant setbacks and the extent of excavation required.

The developer had already lodged an appeal with the Land and Environment Court, over Council’s deemed refusal of the application and a directions hearing took place on January 29. A conciliation conference is planned for June 29.

Hewittville given warnings THE NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has concluded its investigation into Hewittville Pty Ltd following an extensive investigation of its forestry operation in the Limpinwood area and has issued both the landowner and contractor with formal warnings.

EPA Director Forestry Michael Hood said in a media statement that the EPA had investigated the private native forestry operation for compliance with the Private Native Forestry (PNF) Code of Practice.

“The EPA’s investigation determined there were breaches of the PNF Code related to road and track construction and maintenance,” Mr Hood said.

“Fortunately, these did not lead to actual soil erosion or pollution of waters. In response, the EPA has issued the landowner and the contractor with a Formal Warning.

“In considering its response the EPA noted that actual harm did not occur, the landowner ceased the operation while the issues were investigated and the landowner rectified the roading issues.”

Mr Hood said in regards to the overall operation the landowner took a number of actions to address problems in the PNF approval, including seeking independent expert advice on the presence of koalas.

Pocket Herbs expansion approved AN APPLICATION by Pocket Herbs at Burringbar to install a plant shelter has been approved by Tweed Shire Council at their February Ordinary Meeting, held last Thursday, February 15, despite concerns from residents.

Pocket Herbs submitted a development application to Council in June 2017 to expand their Howards Road business with the installation of a plant shelter to grow and process edible flowers.

Councillors voted unanimously to approve the application on the basis of certain conditions including complying with their Operational Noise Management Plan (ONMP), acoustic treatments to reduce noise and screening of the shelter to reduce visual impacts.

The business has been the subject of numerous noise complaints by surrounding residents and Council last year recommended an ONMP be submitted.

The plan outlines measures to reduce noise and impacts on nearby residents and was amended to change the hours of operation of water tank pumps from 7am to 10pm to 7am to 7pm.

“The requested Operation Management Plan has been submitted and assessed by the Environmental Health Unit and found to be satisfactory,” a report to councillors reads.

“The Operational Management Plan has been developed in consultation with Pocket Herbs and the Community with Council providing a mediation role.”

In recommending the development be approved, the report said the shelter is “unlikely to create an unacceptable noise impact and the proposed plant shelter will not contain any fans or other temperature control devices which would generate noise”.

Meanwhile Burringbar resident Kate Paszkowski has told The Weekly that

unacceptable noise continues and has alleged the business is operating outside of their Noise Management Plan.

The plan allows for 15 greenhouse fans to be operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week, using 55 per cent capacity during the day and 20 per cent at night. Powered high pressure water cleaners are permitted from Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and the plan outlines no pressure cleaning is allowed on weekends or public holidays.

Ms Paszkowski said as soon as the plant shelter development application was approved, the noise returned.

“Sunday is a noise free day, yet we sit and listen to the high pressure cleaning going from 1.30pm to 3.45pm on Sunday, just two days after the Operational Noise Management Plan (ONMP) and the edible plant shelter was approved,” she said.

“My neighbour again had to sleep with earplugs in on Saturday night due to the vibrational noise of the ventilation fans around 2am.

“So, now the business has the go ahead, we will no doubt be back to the usual noise disruptions.

“The whole idea of the ONMP is so Council can regulate this business. we expect the Council to do this.

“Unless noise monitoring is undertaken for a period of 14 days to obtain the night time and daytime noise backgrounds etc, the council will never understand the impacts on our households and as this business expands, the noise will only accumulate leaving the closest residents with no protection.

“The residents are very unsatisfied with this outcome and have real, grave concerns for the protection of our properties and the right to live peacefully in our valley in the future.”

Public School Be Safe

Be Respectful

Our student body and many parents and friends gathered in our school hall recently for the very first whole school assembly of 2018. It was a first for our kinder students who enjoyed par�cipa�ng and helping to celebrate the great achievements made already by some of our children.

Our school councillors were presented to the assembled school community as were our spor�ng house captains. These proud leaders of our school have been chosen by the student body to support and guide them, help organise special days in our school calendar and represent the school at many community events throughout the year. They provide a posi�ve role model for all of our

Be A Learner

students and develop great leadership and team building skills while fulfilling these important roles.

Parents of many of our councillors were on hand to present badges to their children. It was a lovely example of the strength of our school community.

The first job for the councillors was to help organise our Sweet Heart Day fundraiser. Sweet Heart Day supports children living with heart condi�ons by raising funds through events held on St �alen�ne�s Day each year. Our students chose to raise money by dressing in red and dona�ng a gold coin. Teachers presented ac�vi�es based on healthy heart maintenance and the impact on heart disease on young people. As we have several students who suffer from heart disease in our school, Sweet Heart Day has become an important charity for our school community.

Council crack down on short-term holiday lets Council is pursuing legal action against an unapproved short-term holiday let at Casuarina as it deals with a spike in complaints about unauthorised operators in the shire.

To date this year, Council has begun investigating seven reported unauthorised short-term holiday let operations.

“Council compliance officers are obliged to thoroughly investigate all seven instances of potentially prohibited or unauthorised short-term holiday lets and, if those procedurally fair compliance investigations produce substantive evidence of unauthorised operations, Council may take legal action in the NSW Land and Environment Court,” Director Planning and Regulation Vince Connell said.

“Our compliance officers are reporting a widespread lack of knowledge among property owners on the current statutory planning restrictions on short-term holiday lets and the relevant approvals processes they need to follow.”

The Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 precludes shortterm holiday accommodation in specific residential zones including R1 – General Residential, R2 – Low Density Residential, R5 – Large Lot Residential, B1 – Neighbourhood Centre, B5 – Business Development, B7 – Business Park, and IN1 – General Industrial zone.

Short-term holiday lets require a Development Application (DA) approval in R3 – Medium Density Residential, B2 – Local Centre, B3 – Commercial Core, and B4 – Mixed Use zones.

Property owners seeking to establish a short-term holiday let should first check on Council’s current planning controls by visiting Council’s website or its Administrative Centre at either Murwillumbah or Tweed Heads.

The New South Wales Government is yet to determine its broader policy position on short term holiday lets.

The new Kingscliff park has been named after local veteran, Sapper Rowan Robinson.

Kingscliff park gets a worthy name The new central foreshore park in Kingscliff has been named in honour of a former local surf life saver who lost his life serving in Afghanistan.

The park has been named Rowan Robinson Park in tribute to the popular Kingscliff High School graduate and Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club patrol member.

Sapper Robinson was killed by insurgents on his second tour of Afghanistan on 6 June 2011 and according to his wishes his ashes were scattered out near the Kingscliff bommies where he loved to surf.

Away from the beach Rowan was a talented singer and guitarist as well as a gifted athlete across a variety of sports, attending regional competitions for swimming, cross country, basketball and athletics.

A particular highlight of his sporting career came in the Grand Final of the NSW State Rugby Knockout Championship where he

scored three tries to lead Kingscliff High School to victory.

The idea to name the park in his honour was put forward by a number of people in the community after calls went out from Council in November for suggestions for the new park’s name.

Another popular suggestion, Dreamtime Park, was rejected by the Aboriginal Advisory Committee as it was not a traditional name, however a commitment has also been made by Council to acknowledge the local Goodjinburra Clan in some way.

In their letter suggesting the name, the Returned and Services League – Kingscliff Sub Branch, who have been requested to prepare a plaque for installation in the park, said there could not be a more worthy choice.

“The proposal is not about honouring war, it is about honouring the life of a young local lad who lost his life after serving his country, and his connection to Kingscliff.”

First big flood rebuild nears completion Motorists should be travelling on a repaired Tweed Valley Way across Blacks Drain at South Murwillumbah by the end of next week.

The contractor Skeen Constructions Pty Ltd has advised Council that it expects to complete line-marking and switch traffic to the new road section late next week. The temporary sidetrack and traffic lights will then be removed.

Completion of repairs on Tweed Valley Way at Blacks Drain marks a significant milestone in Tweed Shire’s flood recovery and comes just 11 months after the floods of 31 March 2017 caused $28.9 million of damage to shire roads and bridges.

“While 11 months may sound a long time, in terms of repairing more than 1100 minor damages and this catastrophic failure of a major arterial road, it’s a speedy job,” Manager Infrastructure Delivery Tim Mackney said.

“The first four months after the floods we worked to get a preferred panel of providers in place so we could cut through some of the red tape of contracting out works. Now, this two-stage engagement process is paying dividends as road repairs across the shire ramp up.

“From herein, residents can expect a flurry of repair activity on our roads.”

Currently Council has let contracts for minor and mediumsized repairs on 112 roads and expect to let contracts for three more bundles of major road and bridge repairs at the March Council meeting.

“The next major repair to be undertaken will be the Clothiers Creek Road slip, followed closely by the Cudgera Creek Road slip, which caused the road to be closed to traffic since the floods,” he said.

Other major repairs included in the next bundles are Mount

Warning, Kyogle, Hogans, Urliup, Farrants, Porters and Manns roads.

The work to repair Tweed Valley Way at Blacks Drain included reconstruction of: • two traffic lanes with road shoulders • a pedestrian footpath and fencing • guardrail • a permanent water main • a permanent sewer rising main, and • drainage infrastructure.

Scour protection of the road embankments adjacent to the culvert were also undertaken to reduce the likelihood of failure in future flood events.

Some ancillary works and landscaping will see the job completed by mid-March.

Tweed Valley Way at Blacks Drain worksite is prepared for kerb and gutter installation and then the final asphalt seal will be applied.

Rail trail gets approval Tweed Shire Council has resolved to accept the offer of $6.5 million in Federal grant funding to construct the 24-kilometre long Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek section of the rail trail project, with a number of safeguards put in place to ensure the rail corridor remains.

With the Federal grant funds adding to the $6.5 million already committed by the NSW Government last August, the Tweed Valley Rail Trail project is fully funded.

Last Thursday’s decision requires the Council to call tenders for the design and construction of the rail trail on the current track formation but will also allow the opportunity for contractors pricing the project to put forward proposals to construct the rail trail beside the train tracks, preserving the tracks. With conjecture in the community over the feasibility and cost of this alternative, the decision will provide the opportunity to resolve the issue.

In addition to this, Council resolved to seek an annual contribution from the State Government to fund operations and maintenance of the regional tourism facility and Council will advocate that a Trust be established to oversee governance and management if the trail eventually extends beyond the Tweed.

The resolution also included the following wording about safeguards: “To ensure that appropriate legislation is in place that would: i. Maintain the corridor in public ownership in perpetuity for exclusive use as a Rail Trail, for the Return of Rail or public transport ii. Allow under lease or license to the Trust uses complementary to the success of the Rail Trail (for example rail carriages used on parts of the disused line that would add character and services to the rail trail such as a coffee cart, art and craft, bike hire, accommodation, etc) and that income derived from these be quarantined for maintenance of the Rail Trail, Corridor and associated infrastructure (former stations). iii. Require an Act of Parliament as opposed to Ministerial approval for the sale of any part of the corridor.”

Driverless electric carts will be investigated as an alternative tourism opportunity and Council will write to Elon Musk and Tesla “to gauge his and their interest in support of such a proposal”.

Cudgera Creek Road motorists dicing with danger Council has issued a warning to motorists to stop moving the barriers on Cudgera Creek Road and traversing the very dangerous section closed to traffic since the March 2017 floods.

The section is unstable and could slip at any time.

Council has written to all residents on the road advising them that it is illegal to tamper with road signs and barriers and an offence to travel past a ‘road closed’ sign.

Someone continues to move the 2.5-tonne concrete barriers blocking the road, allowing vehicles to enter the very dangerous section.

“Motorists are unaware of the danger they are putting themselves, their passengers and other road users in,” Manager Infrastructure Delivery Tim Mackney said.

“While it may appear that one lane is still trafficable, the concrete pipe under the road is fractured and in imminent danger of collapse. It also has been displaced and the road above has failed.

Another beautiful way to say goodbye Rotunda Memorial Gardens at the peaceful Tweed Valley Cemetery.

This peaceful setting and memorial to a cherished life add to the growing number of funeral service options provided by Tweed Shire Council, at three of the region’s most beautiful locations.

Council offers a full list of high-quality, respectful and cost-effective services: • cremation • a variety of scenic burial sites • picturesque and permanent sites for ashes.

Visit tweed.nsw.gov.au/cemeteries or phone (02) 6670 2435 to find out more.

“If the road collapses under the weight of a vehicle, the person responsible for pushing the barriers out of the way could face serious criminal charges. But, the graver consequence would be the fate of the people in the vehicle. We cannot say this strongly enough. The closed section of road could slip at any time.”

Council’s insurers will not accept any claims arising from motorists travelling on this section of road. Further, most motorist’s insurance policies would also become void once a vehicle enters this closed section.

The concrete barriers were pushed out of the way again last week, and again replaced by Council.

“If the concrete barriers are moved again, we will excavate the section of road so vehicles cannot cross it,” Mr Mackney said.

“But we do not want to take this action as it will cause further damage and add more time and cost to its repair.”

To repair this road slip requires significant geotechnical investigation and design work before construction can begin.

Also, the funding available through Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements requires Council to use external contractors if it is going to recoup the costs of that repair, and this prolongs the time it takes to get repair crews on site.

Contractor offers to repair this section closed last Wednesday (14 February) and Council expects to award the contract at its March meeting. Then, it will take at least two months to do the geotechnical investigations and design before workers can get on to the road to fix it permanently.

This repair is the priority in Bundle 6 of Council’s flood road repairs.

“So until then, please take the extra time and travel the long route as this section of road is extremely dangerous.”

Murwillumbah CBD car space amnesty ends soon Entrepreneurs considering establishing a business or expanding a business in Murwillumbah have just three months to take advantage of Council’s three car-parking space amnesty on their assessed car parking contribution.

Following the March 2017 flood, Council granted an amnesty on business development applications in the CBD for three car parking spaces to stimulate flood recovery and help the town get back on its feet.

The amnesty was capped at three car parking spaces to favour small business, which forms the economic backbone of Murwillumbah.

Under the amnesty, development applications lodged before 1 June 2018 do not have to provide up to three car parking spaces or make a financial contribution to Council in lieu of providing up to three car parking spaces.

Businesses wanting to set up in Prospero Street, South Murwillumbah, which is not subject to the payment of car-parking contributions, will not have to provide parking spaces for up to three vehicles.

The amnesty, which could amount to a saving of about $50,000, also applies to premises subject to a change of use.

Since the amnesty was announced, Council has received one development application which may achieve the concession.

A further 10 enquiries regarding the parking concession have been made.

Flood memories in print Almost 12 months on from the largest flood to hit the Tweed Valley region in recorded history, Murwillumbah artist Rob Olver will exhibit his photographs documenting the flood and its aftermath at Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Centre from Friday 2 March to 20 May 2018.

Tweed Regional Gallery Director Susi Muddiman OAM said Mr Olver had captured the destruction of the natural and built environment and the strength and resilience of the local community using black-and-white medium-format film.

“Rob has skillfully approached this tragic event with sensitivity and beauty,” Ms Muddiman said.

Mr Olver, who spent time shovelling mud in South Murwillumbah, said he was deeply affected by the scale of this natural disaster.

“Mixed with this were wonderful stories of humanity, community and caring” Mr Olver said.

“Strangers turned up and asked if they could help and brought Anzac biscuits or offered laundry services to affected families.

“About five days after the flood I began taking photographs, partly as a way of understanding my own response to the traumatic event.”

Mr Olver’s photographs depict the remnants of the flood; the subtle marks left on the land, such as debris washed up against fencing; and, humorous words of encouragement to ‘just keep swimming’.

Of Rivers and Floods is both a commemoration of the flood and celebration of the community that came together in its aftermath.

All are welcome to attend the official opening on Friday 2 March 2018 at 6pm with guest speaker artist Heather Matthew.

The exhibition will be opened alongside Abstraction: celebrating Australian women abstract artists and Nicola Hooper: ZOONOSES.

Illegally dumped chemical splashes workers The worst possible consequences of illegal dumping were almost realised in a recent incident where three Tweed Shire Council employees were lucky to escape with minor injuries.

The staff members were splashed with and inhaled fumes from a chemical, thought to be hydrochloric acid, while removing an illegally dumped pile of rubbish along Clothiers Creek Road.

Council’s Manager Infrastructure Delivery Tim Mackney said the incident, which occurred just prior to Christmas, could have resulted in tragic outcomes for those involved.

“All of our staff are educated about safety procedures but clearly, in this case, the workers were put into a highly dangerous situation by the irresponsible actions of someone dumping this toxic substance illegally,” Mr Mackney said.

“Thankfully on this occasion these workers avoided severe injuries but that doesn’t alter the fact that this substance could have been taken to the tip by the residents and disposed of safely for free – which would have avoided all risks.”

Tweed residents can take up to 20 litres of household chemicals to the permanent chemical collection facility at Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre for free, all-year-round.

Living and Loving the Tweed

The chemical involved in the incident, was stored in a plain, white, five-litre plastic container with no warning labels.

On inspection after the incident the container was found to be bubbled and showed signs of chemical reaction.

Council’s Coordinator Waste Management Rod Dawson said the number of illegal dumping issues they have been dealing with are stretching Council resources.

“We don’t have crews standing by to pick up illegally dumped rubbish, which means these workers are pulled off other jobs,” Mr Dawson said.

Products such as pesticides, herbicides and poisons, solvents and household cleaners, pool chemicals, acids and alkalis and hobby chemicals are accepted at Stotts Creek and then sent away to be processed safely, with some broken down and recycled for use in other products.

Households with red wheelie bin services that require a kerbside bulk rubbish collection can call (02) 6670 2400 or book online at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/householdcleanup A full list of materials that may be disposed of in the two annual collections each household is entitled to can also be found online.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Councillors hear passionate views on rail versus trail debate THE RAIL Trail has fast become one of the most hotly debated topics in the Tweed Shire’s history, as passionate residents on both sides of the discussion push to find the best way forward for the Murwillumbah to Casino rail corridor.

Both the State and Federal Government’s equally split grant funding to the value of $13 million is now on the table to develop the first stage of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek.

However, there have been suggestions that if the rail line is removed the rail corridor would fall under Crown Lands and potentially alter the future use of the corridor - a prospect that does not sit well with many residents.

Tweed Shire Councillors listened to a range of passionate views on the rail trail subject at the Community Access session last Thursday, February 15, from both rail trail and “rail and trail” advocates.

Most residents now appear to agree that a rail corridor is an important part of the Tweed’s future, but determining the best way forward with a rail trail and rail line could prove difficult according to Tweed Shire Council’s engineers who flagged the tunnels as a hurdle - although it was acknowledged that the tunnels were not an insurmountable obstacle, but one that could be costly.

“The best initiative for Tweed is to encourage the need for a connection to the north and create a link we can expand upon.

“The great news for now is we have decided to accept the grants and now we can move forward with initiatives that benefit both locals and visitors alike.”

While a rescission motion has not yet been raised, Mt Warning Tours part owner and director Michael Simmons, who is helping drive Tweed tourism, stressed the importance of investigating “rails with trails” properly to discover if it is feasible or not.

“The tender process planned

by Council will enable this to happen,” he said.

“It’s very interesting to me that those who are talking possible rescission are the same Councillors who stand for market principles.

“How about we let the market decide what will work, and what won’t work.”

Why not have both, says local Rising star eyes Bluesfest

DURING COUNCIL’S community access session, Burringbar local and former construction company owner Tom Rayner, who has extensive experience in road and rail construction, said he is confident the pricing to return a train on the corridor has been vastly overestimated.

“The current Rail Trail proposal, led by Tweed Council’s engineers, is to place a rail trail on the existing railway formation, thereby needing the rails and sleepers to be ripped up,” he said.

“I understand that to remove rails, an act of parliament has to be granted (Section 99A), and then the land is no longer deemed a rail corridor, and the land will be transferred to Crown Lands.

“Knowing full well that Crown Lands have a desire to generate revenue, it is likely that any land surplus to the width required of a rail trail only option is adopted, will (or could) be sold off in the future.

“Without a rail corridor, of the required full width, trains (or whatever fantastic mode of mass passenger transport) in the future will not be able to operate.”

Mr Rayner proposed the idea of using solarpowered trams along the Murwillumbah to Casino route, which he believes would be cost effective to implement and would address both tourism and public transport needs.

“There is real growing interest to put a light axle loading mode of transport onto the existing track, without the need of massive reconstruction, as they could be so light,” he said.

“Think trams, solar powered, on a regular timetable, serving the rural village community, where there is currently no public transport services, and providing a real tourist destination in Murwillumbah, with its art, its cafés and niche shops for all

the Byron tourists looking for another great experience.”

Mr Rayner said he believes to construct a rail trail within the rail corridor, “should not cost more than the cost to build it on the existing rail formation”.

“Constructing a simple gravel path, for just pedestrian and bicycle traffic loading is not expensive,” he said.

“In very simplistic terms, it’s just removing the topsoil and then placing, grading and compacting a gravel layer.

“There should be a massive amount of change from the $13 million as it does not cost $500,000 per kilometre to build a gravel path.

“Whereas, with the same path on top of the railway formation, there is the added cost of cutting up the railway line, and transporting it along the line to a safe disposal point, and the added cost of removing all the buried sleepers before levelling the ballast in order to commence placing the gravel path.

“A whole road can be constructed for $1 million per km, a gravel path should be in the order of $50,000 per km.

“Of course, Council could specify a ‘gold plated’ pathway, of great width, and overdesign just to take a council maintenance truck, and perhaps concreted – but is that what is needed? Is that what the user wants?”

Council could save money by keeping the tracks in place says Tom Rayner

MURWILLUMBAH youngster and rising star Emmagen Rain (pictured) may be only 10 years old but she’s fast becoming one of the hottest young singers on the Northern Rivers.

The youngster recently wowed audiences with her singing ability on stage at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and now she has her sights set on the Byron Bay Bluesfest in late March this year.

Emmagen has already received a range of publicity from the Nine News network which has since launched the fledgling star into the spotlight.

Her mother, Justine Christian, recently visited The Weekly and said she was extremely proud of her daughter and amazed by her progress in the Northern Rivers live music scene.

“She has always been a singer,” Mrs Christian said.

“It’s amazing really, but even as a baby she would sing along to nursery rhymes.”

Mrs Christian said she noticed that Emmagen’s voice was loud and always in tune.

“I thought to myself, hang on, she’s really good,” she said.

“So, we enrolled her at Vocal Adrenaline Performing Arts at Burleigh Heads.”

Since then Emmagen has taken her singing skills up another level and won the opportunity to perform at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

“It’s been such an amazing experience for her since the Tamworth Country Music Festival,” she said.

“She now has her own YouTube videos and the media has been loving her.”

Rising Murwillumbah star Emmagen Rain

The youngster now has her sights set on the Byron Bay Bluesfest grommet competition.

“I’m hoping to win a place at Bluesfest to continue performing in front of big audiences,” Emmagen said.

“My long-term dream is to become a professional singer and someday have my own original songs to perform in front of thousands of people.”

Bluesfest will take place from Thursday, March 29 to Monday, April 2

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Possible reprieve for flood-affected residents TWEED SHIRE Council will take the next step towards adding more flood-affected properties that qualify for Voluntary House Raising (VHR) and Voluntary House Purchasing (VHP) schemes in Murwillumbah, Bray Park, Burringbar, Mooball and Crabbes Creek.

Council have already been awarded funds to complete three Floodplain Risk Management Projects through the New South Wales Government’s Floodplain Management Grants program.

The first of the three projects will see two additional rain gauges installed upstream of Burringbar to improve flood warnings. A series of stream gauges will also be installed to increase flood intelligence.

The second project will see the Tumbulgum Gauge incorporated into the Bureau of Meteorology’s Flood Warning System.

Funding for the third project will allow for a detailed flood study of South Murwillumbah business and residential areas including the effectiveness of the town’s current levee systems.

Vo l u n t a r y h o u s e r a i s i n g i s recommended for 25 properties in Burringbar and Mooball and 30 in the South Murwillumbah and Bray Park areas.

Properties in high risk areas are recommended for voluntary house purchasing including 22 in Burringbar, Mooball and Crabbes Creek and 29 properties in South Murwillumbah and Bray Park.

The total cost of voluntary house raising in Burringbar and Mooball is estimated to be around $2.7 million,

whilst voluntary house purchasing would cost around $12.8 million.

“The need for such a scheme was confirmed when the Burringbar Creek catchment experienced a severe flood event in March 2017, where these residential areas sustained widespread damage and lives were put at risk,” a Council report reads.

Voluntary house raising and purchasing funds are provided on a 2:1 basis, meaning Council puts forward one third of the costs.

The estimated cost of voluntary house raising and purchasing in Murwillumbah was not provided in Council’s report. Voluntary house raising and purchasing in Burringbar, Mooball and Crabbes Creek is estimated to cost Council around $4.65 million.

Another option suggested in a report to councillors was to require a contribution by the homeowner to “minimise or eliminate the onethird capital funding requirement on Council”.

Since the March 2017 flood, 25 landowners have expressed interest in voluntary house raising whilst ten have expressed their interest in voluntary

house purchasing. Unfortunately only five of these landholders qualify under current schemes.

“VHP schemes are costly, long-term projects,” Council’s report stated.

“Council has an existing VHP scheme in River Street, South Murwillumbah that was established in the late 1980s.

The scheme initially included 16 properties and now four remain. The scheme has taken approximately 30 years to acquire 12 properties.

“The lengthy nature of this process means it is likely to be at least one or two years before Council is in a position to purchase any properties outside of the existing River Street scheme.

The schemes impose no obligation on homeowners to sell or raise their properties, however, there is a limitation on available funding that needs to be applied for.

“The VHP/VHR projects have not been offered funding but have been endorsed to progress to the next stage,” Council’s report reads.

“Further scoping and funding applications are required before any house raising or purchases can be implemented.”

Funding for cycleway lighting MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest has announced almost $1 million in State Government funding to provide lighting for 2.5km of the Tweed Coast Cycleway.

Mr Provest said the project will provide energy efficient lighting along 2.5km of the cycleway, from Cathedral Court at the northern end of Salt to Barclay Drive at Casuarina.

“This is fantastic news for the Tweed,” Mr Provest said.

“Our community has been calling out for upgrades to local facilities and I’m thrilled these can now be carried out.”

The funding is part of the State Government’s $200 million Stronger Country Communities fund.

Mr Provest said Stronger Country Communities funding is an investment in local infrastructure to improve the lives of residents and enhance the attractiveness of the Tweed Shire.

“This funding will help us do exactly that,” Mr Provest said.

The Stronger Country Communities fund is one of the six funds that make up the NSW Government’s $1.3 billion Regional Growth Fund, which is designed to improve economic growth and productivity through investment in regional communities.

Applications for Round Two of funding will open in March and further details can be found at www.nsw.gov.au/ strongercountrycommunities.

Airport records smashed again GOLD COAST Airport (GCA) recorded its busiest day on January 7, toppling the previously record that had been set 15 days prior.

On January 7, 24,585 passengers arrived and departed the airport, compared to 24,076 on December 23.

The month of January was also the busiest in GCA’s history, with more than 650,000 passengers passing through the terminal, an increase of 4.2 per cent on January 2017.

Queensland Airports Limited CEO Chris Mills said it was a strong start to what would be a momentous year for the company’s largest airport.

“Both December and January were extremely busy for passenger movements and our ability to handle these peaks have put us in good stead for the thousands of people about to descend on the city for the Commonwealth Games,” Mr Mills said.

“In March the airport stands up for the arrival of Games athletes, officials, media and spectators, and we expect the arrival and departure periods for this event to be comparable to the usual peaks we see over Christmas and New Year.

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!

Flood repairs continue

WORK IS expected to commence on the Clothiers Creek landslip in the next two months after Tweed Shire Council awarded its first round of major-sized road repair contracts.

Australian Marine and Civil Pty Ltd has been contracted to repair major slips on Clothiers Creek Road, Nunderi; two sites on Kyogle Road, Kunghur; two sites on Urliup Road, Urliup; and, on Numinbah Road, Numinbah.

All works require slope stabilisation repairs using soil nail and will also include repairs to items such as guardrails, road surfaces and stormwater drainage.

Clothiers Creek Road is the priority site for this bundle but detailed design work will take about two months before on-theground repairs can start.

The fourth and final contract for minor to medium-sized repairs was awarded to Coastal Works.

The package comprises repairs on 26 roads in Back Creek, Mebbin, Mount Burrell, Commissioners Creek, Doon Doon,

Burringbar, Brays Creek, Kunghur Creek, Fernside, Tyalgum, Limpinwood, Rowlands Creek, Uki, Numinbah, Cudgera Creek and Upper Crystal Creek. It contains more than 65 damage items and is worth about $1.13 million. Work on these roads is expected begin within weeks.

Further major road repair contracts are expected to be awarded at the March Council meeting, including Cudgera Creek Road.

Meanwhile, work to permanently repair the catastrophic failure of Tweed Valley Way at Blacks Drain, South Murwillumbah, is nearing completion.

The contractor, Skeen Constructions Pty Ltd, has advised Council the road is expected to reopen by the end of next week.

The March flood caused approximately $28.9 million of damage to roads and bridges. To date, more than 1100 minor road and bridge damage items have been repaired.

To recover road damage costs under NDRRA and grant funding, Council cannot use its own workforce but must engage thirdparty contractors.

Bookings run hot at Kingscliff Park Call for greater enforcement of dog exclusion zones at Hastings Point

KINGSCLIFF BEACH Holiday Park has taken more than 600 bookings for cabins and camping sites within the first hour of opening online bookings on Wednesday, February 14, with several sites still available outside peak periods.

The flood of bookings resulted in some sites becoming double booked, according to one resident Lyn Lee, who wrote to The Weekly in frustration that several visitors from Europe could miss out.

“What is going on with the bookings for the new Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park?” she said.

“Just days after bookings commenced a number of people were advised hours later that their chosen site was doubled booked.

“The saddest embarrassing booking was a large group from Europe coming for a family reunion one week over Christmas 2018 for eight cabins.

“Two hours later they were told it was a double booking and they are devastated.”

Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park unit coordinator Andrew Illingworth said the park has received a “huge rush of bookings”.

“We are aware of the issue relating to those visitors from Europe and we’ve managed to shuffle sometimes around and accommodate them,” he said.

Mr Illingworth explained that the booking system requires each individual to book multiple times in order to secure a site.

“During that process another customer has booked the same site, while the first booking was being made,” he said.

“This resulted in a double booking which we have since been able to resolve by contacting the visitors and making some minor changes.”

Mr Illingworth said Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park were also looking at ways to improve the booking process as the current website does not show when sites are unavailable.

“We have also put a stop sale on December 2018 and January 2019 as we’ve had so many enquires and the park is full,” he said.

However, anyone wanting to visit the iconic seaside holiday park can still book sites outside of peak times.

“We still have a range of site availability especially outside of those peak periods including school holidays, Christmas and around the New Year,” he said.

Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park is currently closed until the official opening on Thursday, March 22.

Costs for a cabin site range from $180 per night during off-peak and $290 during peak periods.

Tourist sites range from $65 (powered) during off-peak to $90 during peak periods.

By Jo Kennett SEVERAL HASTINGS Point residents have expressed concerns about the number of dogs in exclusion areas near the Cudgera Creek estuary with fears the canines could be threatening vulnerable bird species.

Locals say visitors are often unaware of the exclusion areas and according to some there is a lack of enforcement of dog exclusion zones by Tweed Shire Council rangers.

“Many people approaching along the beach don’t see the signs and are unaware of the dog exclusion zones,” local resident Dianne Young said.

“It’s an important resting spot for terns, sandpipers and other species escaping winter in Arctic regions like Mongolia and Siberia.”

Ted Brambleby, a marine biologist who runs Hastings Point’s marine environment study centre Adventure Education said the birds stop to rest and build body fat for the return journey, but are constantly being disturbed by dogs and humans.

“There is also important habitat for endangered Beach Stone-curlews, Pied

MURWILLUMBAH

Oystercatchers and other birds in the riparian zones above the high tide mark, especially on the north west side of the bridge which is not part of the exclusion zone but should be,” Mr Brambleby said.

Hastings Point resident Paul Young said he sees dogs in the creek all the time.

“That shows Council is not taking the enforcement of the exclusion zones seriously,” he said.

A Tweed Shire Council spokesperson said they understood the concerns of residents but stressed they could not be present everywhere across the Shire.

“Council may issue an on the spot infringement notice of $330 for owners of dog in prohibited place,” a spokesman for Tweed Shire Council said.

“Council officers conduct regular patrols but unfortunately officers cannot be present when all offences are committed.”

Incidents that are witnessed by the public can be reported to Council’s Compliance Section on (02) 6670 2400 or on 1800 818 326 outside normal working hours and weekend periods.

Locals attend Love Organics Symposium

Go Racing on the Tweed 5TH MARCH 2018

Member for Richmond Justine Elliot MP, The Right Food Group founder Anni Brownjohn and Shadow Minister for Agriculture Joel Fitzgibbon

Anni Brownjohn, is the founder of The Right Food Group, Australia’s original certified organic, low allergy food developer and manufacturer located in the Tweed Valley.

“It was wonderful to have such strong support from our Federal Member Justine Elliot,” Anni said.

Mrs Elliot said the Tweed Shire is fortunate to have a vibrant organic industry including Anni and her business The Right Food Group, which has received numerous awards for innovation and excellence.

“Nationally the organic sector is of growing importance to the Australian Economy, both in terms of production and exports,” she said.

“I look forward to working with Anni and the new peak body Organic Industries of Australia.”

Phone scammer alert

MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest is urging resident to be mindful of scam callers after an elderly Tweed Shire woman was ripped off more than $900.

While there are a number of scams targeting Tweed residents the latest scam involves victims purchasing iTunes cards or credit.

Mr Provest said scammers have been asking people to make payments over the phone for things such as taxes, hospital bills, bail money, debt collection, and utility bills.

He’s now urging families to discuss the risks involved with scams including the elderly, who are being targeted.

“My office has received reports of callers claiming to be acting on behalf of Centrelink/Dept of Human Services,” Mr Provest said.

“These callers advise that your file has been transferred to Canberra and you need to call a particular number straight away.

“When you call the number provided you actually get a recording “You have called the Department of Human Services”.”

Mr Provest said he could not stress enough how much of a scam this was and he’s urging residents to question the caller before making a decision.

“The caller then confirms that you are due to receive a back payment, but you must first pay to have your file re-registered with Centrelink,” he said.

“They tell you that you can pay this fee with iTunes cards - please note this is a scam.

“These cunning callers are preying on the elderly members of our community, so I encourage you to share this information around.”

If you or anyone you know has received one of these calls or has been affected by a scam please report it to Scamwatch https:// www.scamwatch.gov.au/ Anyone who receives a call of this nature should hang up, if you are unsure hang up anyway and contact the relevant department to make an appointment.

Servicing Murwillumbah and Tweed:

NEW research published in BMC Psychiatry by researchers from Victoria University reveals that walking 10,000 steps a day, over the course of 100 days, can have a positive impact on mental wellbeing, weight loss, blood pressure and cardiovascular health.

In one of the largest health studies carried out at a workplace, two thousand participants in the Stepathlon, a corporate wellness challenge dedicated to achieving better physical and mental health outcomes, reveals consistent and positive impacts on all measures of mental health.

Lead author Victoria University’s Professor Maximilian de Courten, world-renowned epidemiologist and Director of the Centre for Chronic Disease, said the results of the research indicate that participation in the challenge can improve mental health and wellbeing.

“With over 2,000 participants, this important mental health study demonstrates that simple and inexpensive workplacebased interventions can make important improvements in levels of depression, stress and anxiety,” he said.

People who experience mental illness are also known to be at a much higher risk of morbidity and early mortality from physical health issues, compared with the general population.

Professor de Courten, said the Happy Feet study is a critical piece of research because it is relevant to Australia’s entire working community.

“Millions of Australians experience stress everyday, but now we know there is a way to combat the lasting negative impacts by simply moving more,” he said.

Key findings: • Depression/low mood reduced by eight per cent, anxiety reduced by five per cent, stress reduced by nine per cent and mental wellbeing increased by two per cent.

• Analysis of participants doing less/more than 10,000 steps/day for 100 days found depression/low mood reduced five per cent versus 8 per cent, anxiety reduced one per cent versus six per cent and stress reduced 5 per cent versus 11 per cent.

FINALLY, THERE’S a hearing device that lets you hear the way you should: all the way around.

Until now, traditional hearing aids haven’t been able to process sound fast enough to help you hear all the way around you. So they would focus just on the speech directly in front of you, and suppress everything else.

This would help you hear the person you were looking at, but not much else. It wasn’t perfect. But until now, it’s been the best that hearing aids have been able to do.

Westpac Helicopter to host bowls day

Lions Youth of the Year named

MURWILLUMBAH LIONS Club has awarded its annual NAB sponsored Lions Youth of the Year Quest on Tuesday, February 13.

The three students named were Keeley Dickinson and Jesse Wright from Mt St Patrick College, together with Chester Stadler from Wollumbin High School.

The students were interviewed by a panel of judges during the afternoon and presented themselves to the gathering in the evening to answer two impromptu questions and deliver a five minute prepared address.

Lions Club Chairperson Youth of the Year Helen Stubbin said three judges for the Quest were Patsy Lucas (who is the President of Rotary AM Mt Warning), Natalie Szymanski (our NAB representative) and Shane Davidson (Executive Officer, Tweed Shire Council).

“Most significant in the candidates responses to one impromptu question was that all three independently described mental health as the most important problem facing youth of the Tweed at the moment,” Mrs Stubbin said.

“In summing up the judges final deliberation chairman of judges Patsy

Lucas stated that this was a worrying aspect of the lives of young people today and it was a wake up call to authorities and the community in which they live that we were not doing enough to support these young people.”

Keely Dickinson took out the Public Speaking Award using “Space Exploration” as her topic while the overall winner was Jesse Wright with the topic “I Don’t Do Maths – The Influence of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) in today’s society”.

Jesse has already proven his substantial passion and knowledge in maths, after he was entered into the international science competition Breakthrough Junior Challenge.

Jesse will now go on to the zone final at Cudgen Leagues Club on Saturday, March 3, together with the winners from the other Lions Club Finals in our area.

“Murwillumbah Lions Club would like to thank the judges who gave their time, expertise and feedback to the candidates, ensuring a very rewarding event,” Ms Stubbin said

volunteers to lend their support in their local community to help with fundraising,” said Regional Marketing Manager, Zeke Huish.

“It’s an exciting time and we appreciate and welcome the support of these new volunteers who will be highly recognisable in their new red helicopter volunteer shirts over the coming weeks in Murwillumbah.”

The event begins at 4.30pm with prices just $15 for adults and $5 for the kids.

All proceeds stay in the region and directly support the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter based in Lismore to help save lives.

Feeling Dizzy?

You could have a balance or vestibular disorder

BALANCE is easily taken for granted.

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

T

Banana Festival reconnects with history Banana Festival Event Dates (Could be subject to change) May 11: May 24: June 2: June 16: June 30:

THE TWEED Valley Banana Festival is set to return with an amazing schedule of events as the iconic festival looks to reconnect with its heritage roots under the guidance of the Murwillumbah Apex Club in August 2018.

Following a tumultuous 2017 with the Tweed floods, Banana Festival organisers the Murwillumbah Apex Club are aiming to maintain the spirit of one of the longest running regional festivals in Australia with a Friday Down the Street event and Saturday Street Parade.

Apex member and festival coordinator Carol Mudge told The Weekly she was pleased that Tweed Shire Council had recently approved the closure of Wharf Street for the Friday Down the Street event on Friday, August 24.

The event will then carry into Saturday, August 25, for the return of the traditional Street Parade through Wharf Street, which will be closed to general traffic.

Apex members are now encouraging local ladies to join in the fun and nominate for the Banana Queen Quest, which makes up an integral part of the Banana Festival identity and includes Prince and Princess titles.

“We are over the moon that the motion was passed unanimously by Council,” Mrs Mudge said.

“We have so far secured four Queen candidates and we are planning our sash and introduction night on May 24.

“Murwillumbah needs and deserves to have an event that celebrates its local industries and supports its community by raising much needed funds.

“With this as our goal we have forged ahead, the Tweed Valley Banana Festival will run again this year with a full complement of events.”

Mrs Mudge said the Queen Quest encourages the youth of the shire to socialise, learn about their community and fundraise to help worthy causes within our local area.

“This year have chosen to support two worthy charities Tweed Palliative Support & Wedgetail Retreat and The Heavy Hiterz Foundation,” she said.

“Our Queen and Teen Queen entrants exhibit leadership by identifying and participating in fundraising initiatives, which will improve our local community.”

Mrs Mudge said the vision for the 2018 Banana Festival is that all entrants will have the opportunity to realise their potential and participate fully in our community.

“The Apex Club of Murwillumbah has had a long-standing association with the Tweed Valley Banana Festival with Apex Queen candidates from three past Banana Festival’s winning Miss Charity and all funds going to Tweed Palliative Care and Wedgetail Retreat,” she said.

“The Prince and Princess who age from Junior Princess 5-8 and Seniors Princess 9-12 and Prince’s 5-12 years will have fun socialising with each other at local events and outings, all to be held at local venues celebrating our community and its many natural wonders.”

The Banana Festival is also calling for support from local businesses to sponsor the event.

“To make this event a success for the whole community, we need at times to call on local businesses for support,” she said.

“We appreciate every financial contribution, small or large, and we are also grateful for goods and services from different industries that can be used as prizes for raffles, thank you or winner gifts.”

Mrs Mudge said more details about the festival would be made available in the coming week.

“Friday Night will comprise of a Market / Food Truck event with music and entertainment for everyone with stall availabilities for all schools and community groups to enjoy and participate in.

“Saturday will be our Main Day with parade and Crowning of our Royalty.

“This event will be held at the Murwillumbah Showground and will be attended by community, school groups, and charity organisations and will include rides and activities for young and old.”

Balance disorders are typically under diagnosed and undertreated.

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

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

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

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

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

Healthy Canteens enters second year

“Even these choices must meet a health star rating of 3.5 health stars to be included on the menu.

“Sugary drinks and juice have been replaced with water to ensure students are hydrated without the unnecessary sugars often found in flavoured beverages.”

Mrs Gordon said the challenge now for canteen managers is to ensure they have the skills and knowledge necessary for making a canteen viable in today’s society.

“Canteens rely on volunteer help and the management and training of volunteer staff has become an essential skill for canteen managers,” she said.

“Attracting customers with healthy food options has also meant canteen managers rely on certain culinary skills not necessarily needed by tuckshops of the past.

“Selling the idea of ‘healthy’ foods to hungry teenagers is another challenge for canteen managers and Murwillumbah High School is addressing these challenges through collaboration with the canteen and classrooms.

“The new ‘Healthy Canteens’ menu is a useful resource for educating students about healthy food choices and has been incorporated into the Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) curriculum here at the school.”

IGA Tweed Valley owners Brett and Leanne Bugg heaped praise on Mark for his skills as a manager.

“Mark’s work in the community was highlighted while receiving the award, in particular his efforts after last year’s floods, where he led the store in giving time, money and goods to those that needed it most during the crisis,” Brett said.

Mark will now represent Queensland and Northern NSW as a finalist at the national awards ceremony.

He will be one of six vying for the title as the best store manager in Australia out of a total of nearly 1,400 stores nationwide.

MURWILLUMBAH HIGH School students continue to reap the rewards of their Healthy Schools Canteens initiative, which was implemented at the school in early 2017 to curb childhood obesity and promote healthy lifestyles.

The Weekly recently caught up with teacher and media liaison Sally Gordon to find out more about the Healthy Canteen, which she said was making it easy for students to eat and stay healthy at school.

“The canteen has recently been ticked off as a ‘Healthy Schools Canteen’, an initiative implemented by the NSW Government to ensure students at school are offered healthy menu choices,” she said.

“The strategy was released at the beginning of 2017 and involved a process of selfassessment and workshops to assist canteen managers to develop a menu that adhered to the strategy’s guidelines.”

Mrs Gordon said some of the guidelines involve a distinction between ‘everyday’ and ‘occasional’ foods and limiting the amount of occasional foods available on the menu.

“These occasional foods are generally higher in sugar, fat and salt with lower nutritional value and not promoted by the canteen in meal deals or advertising,” she said.

Sewing bee for bags

A family visiting Tropical Fruit World on holidays during Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year at Tropical Fruit World TROPICAL FRUIT World staff have been busy welcoming hundreds of visitors from across Asia this week celebrating Chinese New Year.

The Weekly visited the iconic Tweed tourism destination on Duranbah Road on Monday, February 19, to meet some of the visitors and to find out more about the event.

Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar.

Celebrations traditionally run from the night before the first day of the new year, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first calendar month.

The first day of the new year falls on the new moon between January 21 and February 20 and in 2018, the first day of the Lunar New Year was on Friday, February 16, starting the year of the dog.

Fruit also symbolises new life and prosperity for our Asian visitors and where better to sample some of the best range than Tropical Fruit World.

Tropical Fruit World Sales Manager Kelly Patterson said they were welcoming an influx of international visitors, who are travelling here over the new year holiday period.

“We’ve had guests from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea as well as visitors from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, are celebrating with us too,” she said.

“Also known as ‘Spring Festival’ the New Year celebrates a healthy, prosperous and bountiful year ahead.

“Brightly coloured fruits like citrus and pineapples are symbols of bountiful good fortune and visitors enjoy the healthy, delicious (Autumn) harvest of fruits at Tropical Fruit World.”

Mrs Patterson said visitors are enjoying the cultural experience of a behind-the-scenes tour of an Australian working farm.

“For the week of celebrations we welcome guests to our Fruit Market with bright red lanterns and lots of brightly coloured fruits, of course,” she said.

This year is the Year of the Dog, in the Chinese Zodiac, and people born under this sign are believed to be loyal, reliable and honest.

MURWILLUMBAH BOOMERANG Bags have announced a new fortnightly sewing bee at the Murwillumbah Community Centre starting on Friday, February 23, from 1.30pm to 4.30pm.

Boomerang Bags, which is a not-for-profit Let’s Waste Less initiative, aims to reduce plastic bag use by engaging local communities to sew Boomerang Bags using recycled materials.

Most of the bags made at the centre will be donated to the new Community Pantry, which had to close as a result of the floods and is due to reopen in a few months time.

Since May last year Let’s Waste Less has hosted monthly sewing bees at Sathya Sai Primary School, making more than 180 bags thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers.

Let’s Waste Less plans to continue the monthly sewing bees at the school, as well as adding the new fortnightly Community Centre bees.

Let’s Waste Less’ goal is to produce 500 bags by the start of July, which is when Coles plans to phase out single use plastic bags and start charging customers 15c to purchase thicker ones.

“To reach this goal we need to enlist as many cutters, stampers, ironers and sewers as we can, so we are putting the call out to the community to come along to any of our bees or create their own, or sew some from home,” Let’s Waste Less co-founder Andia Cally said.

“Australians use an estimated 10 million plastic bags a day in this country, discarding them after an average of 12 minutes.

“These bags take centuries to break down, often ending up in our oceans with devastating effects on marine life.

“Our aim in sharing these bags is to encourage a shift away from the single use, throw away mentality, towards a more sustainable repurpose and reuse approach’ Let’s Waste Less.”

The next Let’s Waste Less sewing bee will take place at the Murwillumbah Community Centre on Friday, February 23, from 1.30 to 4.30pm.

This really is an event for everyone.

“Sure we will have current WSL Women’s World Champion Honolua Blomfield and California’s triple world champion Taylor Jenson competing this year in the professionals but the event is about encompassing all facets of the culture and all levels of competitor.”

HE IS a legend of Australian surf culture with more stories than most surfers have had waves and he’ll be at this year’s Australian Longboard Open at Kingscliff next week.

He is Phil Jarratt, the father of Australian Surf writing and he is bringing his stories to the Longboard titles as part of the “onshore” entertainment.

Phil will hold a book signing for his new memoir Life of Brine at Brothers Café Restaurant and Bar, Marine Parade Kingscliff on Thursday, March 1, from 7pm (NSW). The event is free and according to Longboard Open event organiser Sean McKeown, a chance to catch up with a legend.

“Phil is one of the true characters of the surf culture. His brief forays into activities outside of surfing have only been to enable him to follow the surf,” Sean said.

“His time at Tracks magazine is now an important part of surfing history. More recently his dedication to building the Noosa Festival of Surfing as the event director has seen it grow into the largest longboard surfing event in the world.”

Phil will present a short film on the book as well holding a Q&A session and telling some yarns. The book will be available for sale and for signing.

The exciting stunts have to be seen to be believed

CIRCUS PHOENIX has landed in Murwillumbah and will present their Extreme show at the Murwillumbah Showgrounds this week, bursting into action tonight (Thursday, February 22) with a range of exciting and deathdefying stunts.

Circus co-owner and co-creator Cassandra Gasser, alongside her business partner Phoenix Harrison, told The Weekly that the show offers audiences a range of modern circus performances with thrilling sideshow acts.

Trained in traditional circus performing, Miss Gasser said he team have used their foundation skills to create a modern and exciting performance that focuses on extreme activities.

“There are big acts, a lot of death-defying acts, “ Miss Gasser said.

While Miss Gasser acknowledged the appeal of traditional circuses, she said audiences were responsive to their extreme take on circus.

“We love our traditional circus style, but through our research we have developed this program to offer audiences the most exciting and thrilling show we can,” she said.

The circus features death-defying acts such as Phoenix globe riders in the globe of death, illusionists, flair action sports and a range of acrobatics.

Phoenix Harris and Cassandra Gasser are both performers from circus families who own, run and star in the show and are currently the youngest circus owners in Australia.

“We decided we wanted something different and came up with this concept together and we’re constantly researching other performances to keep our show up-todate and audiences entertained.”

Circus Phoenix Extreme will open tonight at 7.30pm. Readers can check the below advertisement for more information including show times.

FILMS th Mia wi

SWEET COUNTRY Warwick Thornton is an outstanding cinematographer who debuted as director in 2009 with the multi award-winning film Samson and Delilah, the contemporary story of an intense relationship and a journey of survival in the central Australian desert.

His new film Sweet Country revolves around a similar journey but is set in the 1920s in the Northern Territory, where the dynamics in the relationships between white and aboriginal people always plays to the advantage of the former. The film is a must-see for anyone interested not only in Australian history, but also in the notion of decency and justice.

The plot follows Sam, an aboriginal man who is subjected to an incredible amount of abuse and cruelty by white settlers. When, in self-defense, he kills a white landowner, Sam is accused of murder – even by some fellow aboriginal people, delusional with the idea that they may one day partake of white power.

Sam flees, together with his wife Lizzie, herself a victim of rape by the man killed by Sam, but eventually they surrender, resigned to the fact that for them justice will never be served. Not even the belated attempts by an idealistic judge to establish facts and responsibility is enough to bring fair justice to this ‘sweet’ but lawless country where brutality and force are the only guiding principles. The film does not shy away from also showing the hostility between different aboriginal groups.

Sweet Country stars some outstanding non-professional actors together with Sam Neill in the role of a Christian preacher and Bryan Brown as the local police sergeant determined to bring Sam to the gallows. The film has won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Fest and the Best Film Award at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards.

THE UP-BEAT sounds of Kangaroo Moon will fill the Stokers Siding Hall for a special performance on Saturday, February 24 from 8pm.

Event promoter and Tupenny Opera members Maya Sapir and Dave Weir will provide a support act prior to Kangaroo Moon (pictured below).

“Kangaroo Moon combines elements of world, rock, folk and dance, with acoustic and electronic influences, run through a funky, psychedelic, heartlifting wall of sound,” Maya said.

“Trancey, dancey and richly melodic, their sounds unite the body and soul in deep, joyful psychedelia and elemental dance.”

Maya said a UK newspaper once described Kangaroo Moon’s sound as “electro squelchy psychedelic funk meets ethno celto folk”.

Kangaroo Moon are well travelled troubadours, having toured extensively throughout Australia and Europe over the past three decades.

They’ve played the legendary Glastonbury and Womad festivals several times, as well as Australia’s Woodford and National Folk Festival.

Along the way they’ve recorded a swag of albums, the sound evolving and growing in tune with their constant striving for originality in a business thriving with talent.

Three of the original core: Mark Robson, Matt Ledgar and Elliet Mackrell will feature on the tour.

MUCH-LOVED local photographer and artist Rob Olver (pictured above) is set to unveil his latest photographic exhibition at the Tweed Regional Galley titled “Of Rivers and Floods” on Friday, March 2.

Mr Olver recently visited The Weekly to inform residents of his latest exhibit which portrays the aftermath and the community response to the devastating Tweed flood caused by ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie in late March 2017.

“The rivers of the Tweed Valley are beautiful,” Rob said.

“They have provided humans living here with water, food and recreation for many thousands of years.

“But there is a darker side to this beauty.

In late March 2017 ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie hit the Tweed Valley and dumped up to 750mm of rain on the catchment in little more than 24 hours.

“What followed was the largest flood to affect this region in recorded history.”

Rob said he, like many residents, was deeply affected by the scale of this natural disaster.

“I spent time shovelling mud in South Murwillumbah and the experience was as close to a war zone as I have ever been,” he said.

“About five days after the flood I began taking photographs, partly as a way of understanding my own traumatic response to the event.

“Unusual scenes caught my eye like debris lodging on fence posts and trees.

“I was intrigued by the coping mechanisms of people in the flood zone which included painting cheeky slogans on signs out the

“For the images in the exhibition I used a medium format film camera and a tripod, which helped me to slow down and be more contemplative in my picture making.

“My images seek to capture the damage to the natural and human environment of the Tweed but also the resilience and humour of the people and communities affected by this natural disaster.”

Rob has also announced that he will be offering a photography workshop “Composition and Natural Light” running over two Sundays on April 15 and May 6.

The workshop can be booked through the Tweed Regional Gallery website.

TBDBA 2017 “Player of the Year” Award recipients – Condong’s Warren Peart and Michael Chilcott

Surf City Month of Contests

WELL THERE has been waves galore over the last few weeks and some massive swell hitting the Tweed Coast and some more to come this week.

It is that time of year and all the events are happening starting next week. From Longboards to Club events to the World Championship Tour it is all happening over the next month

Australian Longboard Surfing Open

Both the men’s and women’s WSL world champions are set to line up for this year’s Australian Longboard Surfing Open at Kingscliff from February 28 to March 4. Current WSL Women’s Longboard World Champion Honolua Blomfield

DUE TO an overflow of end of year activities in 2017, Presentation Day for the TBDBA Champions was put on the back burner.

However, at long last these presentations have now all been completed.

The Player of the Year award for 2017 produced an interesting result with three players from the one club being top scorers on the points table. And, just to make it more interesting for the first time since the inception of this award, two of these chaps tied for top honours.

Condong’s Warren Peart and Michael Chilcott topped the points scoreboard to share this prestigious award following their impressive wins at club, district and zone championships during the year. Fellow club mate, David Cranwell, placed third with a credible score on record for his year’s performances. Congratulations to these very fine bowlers. Way to go fellas.

Last week saw Condong ladies brave oppressive heat and humidity to contest the final of their Club Select Fours.

Mary Chisholm (S), Maureen Standfield, Lane Nielson and Barbara O’Reilly were challenging Kim Keevers (S), Tina De Belle, Kay Cusack and Helen Fuller for top honours.

and California’s triple world champion Taylor Jenson will be competing.

The women’s field is particularly strong with 18-year-old Bloomfield keen to show the form that saw her win the World Title in Taiwan in December, but the Hawaiian won’t have it all her own way.

Taylor Jensen will be hard to beat but will have a field of locals, Australian’s, and international surfers to contend with, including former World Champion, Coffs Harbour surfer, Harley Ingleby. Event organiser Sean McKeown said Ingleby and the locals will be hard to beat.

“He is no stranger to the Kingscliff break battling it out with Emerald Beach surfer Harley Ingleby for Kingscliff since 2012,” Sean said.

“The pair have pretty much shared the honours over the years with Ingleby, world champion in 2009 and 2014, winning the Volte Wetsuits Men’s LQS championship here last year.”

Entries for the amateur divisions are still open at http:// www.australianlongboardopen.com.

As well as the surfing events this year’s open will include a book-signing night for surf writing legend Phil Jarratt at Brothers Café Restaurant and Bar in Kingscliff as well as tying-in with the Kingscliff Night Markets, and hosting an old board display, surf lessons, buskers, auctions and surf vehicle displays.

With both teams equally balanced, a super game was forthcoming as the ladies duelled for supremacy.

Team Chisholm held a narrow lead throughout and was four shots up coming into the last end. Keevers was holding four shots and hoping to force an extra end but, alas, was snookered by Chisholm’s last bowl that produced a nifty little slide off a front bowl to trickle in for shot. Game over with victory going to Mary Chisholm and co.

Well done, both teams.

Kingscliff’s ladies Championship Fours final between Janny Scher (S), Aileen McNamara, Joan Francis and Jenny White challenging Sandra Akers (S), Di James, Di Jones and Anne Wonka developed into a grand game to witness.

With the teams tied on 7-7 after eight ends and then 12-12 on end 16, the next five ends were to be the decider. In a particularly tough finale Akers and co then scored eight shots against team Scher’s five over the remainder of the contest to take the title with a narrow margin. Congrats girls on a great performance.

Seems that Sandra Akers is on a roll at present as she teamed up with Di James and Di Jones and also won the prestigious Kingscliff Kingfisher Triples, a comp that attracted 32 teams from the Tweed Byron District as well as the Gold Coast last week.

Tapped in to the waves

With Terry Tappa’ Teece

Kirra Teams Challenge

Australia’s best boardriding clubs will be on their way to the Gold Coast to compete in the 2018 Kirra Teams Challenge.

This is the 34th year of the event and teams from Noosa to Western Australia will be competing, including a team from Victoria for the first time. The event runs from the 2nd to the 4th of March, with organisers hoping to surf Kirra Point, but Duranbah looks like being the venue.

This is one of the most prestigious team surfing events in the world, and competeition will be fierce. Kingscliff and Cabarita Boardriders will be competing and will be ones to watch as well. We will have an update on the teams challenge net week.

Quiksilver and Roxy Circus Setting Up

Well Cyclone Gita has held up the setting up of the site for the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro. The organisers will be under the pump to get the main site set up, and also will have to turn the sand pumps on to replace the sand behind the rock at Snapper which was taken by the last swell. At least there is plenty of time remaining to get the sand behind the rock so the action can be directly in front of the viewing area.

At present the wave begins at Little Marley and winds down to Greenmount. With the Commonwealth Games setting up, the move to Kirra will not be happening. All the pros will be turning up soon, so if you are surfing the Superbank, be prepared to share with the pros.

Catch you in the waves.

THE CABARITA Beach-Bogangar region of the Tweed Shire has this week received official endorsement by the Board of National Surfing Reserves to move towards a formal dedication this summer.

Dr Kerrie Foxwell-Norton, chairperson of the Local Steering Committee (LSC) and the first ever female head of a Surfing Reserve in the world said the community is “stoked” to see the surfing environment honoured in this outstanding way.

The National Surfing Reserves Board comprises an eminent panel of coastal

experts led by Professor Andrew Short and Brad Farmer who commended the nomination by the many locals and stakeholders who have recognised the significance of Caba’s waves and beaches.

National, Regional and World Surfing Reserves, an idea which a started in Australia in the early 1990s by Brad Farmer, recognises iconic places of intrinsic social, sporting, cultural, environmental and heritage value.

There are now 20 National Surfing Reserves across Australia, 10 World Surfing Reserves and growing number

of Regional Surfing Reserves of which Cabarita Beach-Bogangar is regarded in an expanding global program which has attracted the support of state, local and national governments.

“While declaring Surfing Reserves at such beautiful places like Caba are largely symbolic in nature, it acknowledges the past, the present and importantly to future generations, that surfing beaches are a valuable and integral part of our national identity and way of life and need to be respected, preserved and shared,” Mr Farmer said.

Titans positive for 2018

TITANS’ locally-bred footballers and their chief officials numbered 105 at the Tweed District Men of League luncheon at Seagulls on Friday with a pretty positive message.

This is going to be a really big year for the Titans and their growing base of supporters.

The home-grown footballers, Ryan James who hails from the Bilambil Jets and is favoured by new-coach Garth Brennan to lead the Titans again this season, Paul Broughton medal winner Anthony Don, Kevin Proctor, who is nursing an injury along with experienced Michael Gordon, were all enthused about an improved performance.

Each of the four footballers named two or three youngsters coming through the ranks that they tipped would impress in the NRL this season.

They said they had experienced harder preseason training.

LARGE SURF conditions caused the beach to be closed on Sunday and the cancellation of the Branch Titles set down for Lennox Heads where the beach was covered by the surf.

Due to the coming States and Australian Championships there is little room for them to be held and a decision will be made late this weeks. Our Nippers along with those from Salt had their morning in Cudgen Creek and their Age Championships will be held next Sunday.

The Senior Club Championships are set down for Saturday, March 24.

This weekend we have six of our members competing in the “Summer of Surf” series at Cronulla. Also this Sunday the Senior Bronze Medallion training group will have their surf skill examination. The following weekend a Silver Medallion Aquatic Rescue Course will be conducted at our Club.

Courses available at Ballina are Spinal Management March 17 with nominations closing March 5. Advance Resuscitation will be held on March 24 with nominations closing on March 12.

The Club is planning a single day IRB crew course late March on a Sunday with a couple of hours theory the evening prior. A limit of eight candidates has been set. Nominations close March 1. The driver course will kickoff at the end of the season and utilise the ALBERT program. Interested members please advise before the end of April.

Our ALBERT IRB rraining members will head to Forster on the weekend 7th –

James said the depth at the club was great and competition was such that no player was assured of their position for round one.

CEO Annesley said 13 Gold Coast-Tweed players were included in their top squad.

“I know head coach Brennan is also keen to explore our local clubs looking for talent,” Annesley said.

Part-owner Darryl Kelly said everyone at the Titans from the very top through bottom was keen to make this their best season yet.

“We are certainly facing a big challenge from up the road with the AFL putting in $25.5 million to support the Suns last season,” said Kelly.

“I appeal to grass-roots level and ask everyone to join the Titans and get right behind us.”

Tweed District Men of League members are reminded of the Annual General Meeting at Kirra Beach Hotel on Sunday, March 4, at 9am (QLD Time).

8th April. Three Branches, Sydney, Lower North Coast and Far North Coast are confirmed to attend and we expect over 70 drivers and crew to attend. Accommodation is the Forster Surf Club and Caravan Park next door. A bus will leave early on the Friday and collect members along the coast. Seats are limited, please contact Mike Crawley if interested.

There will be a car park auction of used surf craft that has been stored at Chinderah for a few years on Saturday, March 3, time to be advised.

Last weekend our Radio Officer, Jo Colja, Education Co-ordinator Sue Eke and David Field attended a State Facilitated Advanced First Aid Course at Ballina. It deals with multiple casualty incidents and other aspects of leading a first aid team. Pre-requisites for the course will be Spinal Management, Advanced Resuscitation Techniques and Apply First Aid, when it is advertised later this year.

Our bar and bistro often receive calls from frantic family members that cannot see their loved ones at the beach or the creek. For this reason there is now a radio behind the bar at the Surf Club. This is due to the urgent nature of some events that we have unfolded on our beaches recently. It is permanently set on Channel 3, this is a direct contact for the Life Guards on the beach.
