Middle East tensions push up fuel prices as police warn of theft risk By Tim Howard
Rising petrol prices linked to instability in the Middle East are beginning to hit motorists across the Northern Rivers, prompting calls for greater transparency in fuel pricing and warnings from police about a potential increase in fuel theft. Nationals Member for Clarence Richie Williamson said families, farmers and small businesses in regional communities were particularly vulnerable to global price shocks because they relied heavily on vehicles for work and everyday travel. Mr Williamson said unrest and conflict in the Middle East, including the ongoing tensions involving Iran, had contributed to rising global oil prices which were now flowing through to local petrol bowsers. “People in regional communities simply don’t have the option of leaving the car at home,” he said. “When global events drive up fuel prices, families and small businesses in the regions feel the impact immediately.” Mr Williamson said motorists deserved greater transparency in how petrol prices were set and welcomed a commitment by the NSW Liberals and Nationals to introduce legislation aimed at strengthening consumer protections. Under the proposed “Fuel Transparency Plan”, service stations would be required to publicly set their maximum daily fuel price and lock it in for 24 hours, preventing sudden price increases during the day.
The proposal is modelled on a system already operating in Victoria and would build on the NSW Government’s FuelCheck scheme introduced in 2016, which allows motorists to compare fuel prices across service stations. The reforms would also require advance price notification so motorists could see the next day’s fuel price before arriving at the bowser and introduce penalties for retailers that fail to comply. Mr Williamson said the Coalition was also calling on the federal government to strengthen the investigative powers of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to examine potential fuel price manipulation. “At the end of the day this is about giving motorists certainty and making sure families are not being caught out by sudden price jumps,” he said. Meanwhile NSW Police have warned rising fuel prices could also trigger an increase in fuel theft, particularly from farms and rural storage tanks. The NSW Police Rural Crime Prevention Team issued the warning while investigating the theft of 800 litres of diesel from a property in the state’s west between February 22 and March 1. Acting State Rural Crime Coordinator Andrew Maclean said police expected fuel theft incidents to rise as prices increased. “Landholders are asked to remain vigilant around their on-farm fuel storage,” he said. Police are advising farmers and rural

landholders to install surveillance cameras, secure bowser handles with padlocks and keep detailed records of fuel use. Detective Acting Inspector Maclean also urged victims to report
every theft to help police track patterns and investigate organised activity. Police are particularly interested in reports of people selling fuel at heavily discounted prices away from legitimate
service stations or distributors. Anyone with information about suspicious activity or fuel theft can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, while incidents in progress should be reported to triple zero.

Nimbin Urban Boil Water Alert Lifted After Treatment System Repair By Robert Heyward
Residents in Nimbin village can once again drink tap water, with the boil water alert officially lifted effective immediately. Lismore City Council said the alert, which had been in place since Wednesday, 25 February, was introduced after problems were identified with the village water treatment system. The issue has now been rectified, and NSW Health has supported the decision to lift the alert. While normal water use can resume in the village, residents are being advised to first flush any affected water from household pipes. Council recommends running water for two to three minutes before drinking,
including from the tap located furthest from the water meter, which is often found at the back of the property. The lifted alert applies only to customers within
the Nimbin village urban water supply. Council has stressed that customers connected to the Nimbin Rural water supply on the outskirts of the village remain under
an ongoing boil water alert. This continued warning affects properties along Tuntable Falls Road, Kirkland Road, Gungas Road, Anderson Road, Basil Road, Evelyn Way
and Weismantel Road. Residents in those rural areas should continue boiling water before drinking, preparing food, washing uncooked food, making ice, cleaning teeth
or giving water to pets until further notice. The original alert was issued as a precautionary public health measure after the treatment system problem raised concerns about water quality. Following repairs and water quality testing, authorities have determined that the village supply is once again safe for normal consumption. The update will come as welcome news for Nimbin village residents and businesses, who have had to boil drinking water for several weeks while the issue was addressed. Council says it will continue to monitor the water supply and provide updates for customers who remain affected in the rural network.

Residents vent frustration at Clarence Valley town hall meetings By Tim Howard
Two Clarence Valley Council town hall-style meetings intended to strengthen communication between councillors and the community have delivered sharply contrasting levels of public participation, but a similar message of frustration from residents. The meetings were held following a July 2025 council resolution arising from a notice of motion by Cr Cristie Yager, aimed at giving residents the opportunity to speak directly with elected representatives about local issues. The first meeting, held in Grafton on March 5, attracted just 13 residents. But the second meeting, held on March 12 at the new Yamba Library and Community Centre, drew about 82 residents and turned into a wide-ranging forum on the concerns facing communities in the Lower Clarence. All councillors attended except for Cr Debrah Novak. The Yamba meeting had been scheduled to begin with a presentation outlining council projects, priorities and updates across the Clarence Valley. However residents began asking questions before the presentation could be completed, quickly turning the evening into an open forum where community members spoke directly with councillors.
A crowd of 82 people attended the community meeting, chaired by Clarence Valley Mayor Ray Smith in Yamba last week, where a wide range of issues people had with council were raised.
A wide range of issues were raised, with many questions taken on notice after councillors advised more detailed answers would need to be provided later. While many residents welcomed the opportunity to speak directly with councillors, some expressed disappointment that more answers could not be provided during the meeting itself. Flooding and stormwater management were among the most frequently raised issues. Residents expressed concern about drainage in low-lying areas of Yamba where heavy rainfall and tidal movements can cause water to pool. One specific concern involved drainage infrastructure in Shores Dr, where residents argued that a failure to consult with the NSW National
Parks and Wildlife Service when the original development was approved had created ongoing flooding problems. According to residents, the drainage system connects with an adjacent swamp which, when full, renders the system ineffective and forces debris back through the pipes. Mention was also made that Council’s Flood Risk Management Plan 2009 has not been properly implemented. Some described the situation as a structural problem that would not be solved through routine maintenance. Rapid population growth and development in Yamba was another major topic throughout the evening. Residents questioned whether infrastructure was keeping pace with the town’s expansion, raising
concerns about increasing pressure on roads, drainage systems, traffic and community services. Some also warned that poorly managed development risked undermining the character of the coastal town. The condition of coastal infrastructure also drew criticism. Residents said public toilets and facilities along the coast were in poor condition and did not reflect the importance of tourism to the local economy. Some argued the Clarence Valley’s coastline was the region’s main drawcard for visitors and that council had neglected key amenities supporting that industry. Public toilet facilities in several locations were described by attendees as unacceptable for a region that relies heavily on tourism. Erosion along the Iluka foreshore was also raised, with residents asking whether council had a long-term plan to address the issue. Road maintenance was another contentious topic. Residents complained that pothole repairs often failed quickly. One councillor suggested budget limitations restricted the use of higher-quality materials, but some residents rejected that explanation, arguing the issue was more about how the repairs were being carried out. They said potholes were
often patched without proper compaction, meaning repairs broke down quickly and had to be repeated. Despite the meeting being held in the new Yamba Library and Community Centre, residents also raised concerns about the building itself. Questions were asked about whether the facility could function effectively as an emergency evacuation centre. Residents pointed to a connecting area between two sections of the complex which lacks roof cover and has limited drainage, raising concerns the space could fill with water during heavy rain – precisely the conditions when an evacuation centre might be needed. Questions about governance and decisionmaking within the council also emerged during the meeting. One resident suggested it appeared the council’s strategic direction was being set by the general manager rather than elected councillors, prompting strong reactions from parts of the audience. The comment reflected broader concerns among some attendees about how decisions were being made within the organisation. Council finances also came under scrutiny. Several residents raised concerns about debt associated with the new Clarence Regional Aquatic Centre at Grafton and
asked how many people had used the facility during the past year. Councillors present were unable to provide attendance figures during the meeting, which some residents said raised broader questions about how major capital projects were evaluated. A speaker from the local indigenous community said Council needs to improve consultation with Aboriginal Groups and doesn’t support people who may be socially isolated. Council needs to be out in the community and be more proactive. The cost of hiring council-owned halls and community spaces also generated discussion. Residents said increases in hire fees and bond requirements had forced several volunteer-run groups to close. Speakers argued community halls should be treated as social infrastructure rather than commercial venues and warned that rising costs were damaging the social fabric of small communities. Illegal camping in coastal car parks and public spaces was another recurring issue. Residents described rubbish, alcohol consumption and the use of public areas as informal toilets. Some said they no longer felt comfortable visiting certain local beaches and called for a stronger Continued on next page

Baker pushes for safety review and clearer rules By Tim Howard Newly returned Clarence Valley councillor Andrew Baker has lodged two new Notices of Motion ahead of Thursday’s council meeting at Maclean, focusing on meeting safety and clearer procedures in the chamber. They are the first set of motions from Cr Baker since his return to the council following last year’s countback election triggered by the resignation of Allison Bryant. His proposals come as the newly elected council continues to grapple with disruptions and uncertainty around meeting procedures, with a number of meetings in the term of this council postponed or disrupted due to unruly behaviour in the public gallery. In the first motion, Cr Baker has called for an urgent review of safety and security arrangements at council meeting venues
ranger presence to enforce regulations. Council’s online reporting system also came under criticism. While councillors encouraged residents to use the “Report It” feature on the council website, several attendees said it generated automated responses, but rarely provided clear outcomes or follow-up. Some provided examples where residents had used the system, but there had been no follow up from
in both Grafton and Maclean. If adopted, the motion would require the council to commission an expert review into the adequacy of safety and security arrangements at the two meeting chambers.
The review would examine risks to councillors, staff and members of the public attending meetings and could include input from the council’s insurers and legal advisers. Cr Baker said the
proposal arose from his own observations while attending meetings as a member of the public. “Unsatisfactory occurrences in and around council meetings” had convinced him that safety and security arrangements could be improved, he said in the motion’s background notes. The review would also consider whether improved audio and visual recording systems should be installed in meeting chambers and public access areas to provide a clearer and more reliable record of proceedings. The motion also seeks a report examining the costs and benefits of continuing to operate two council chambers – one in Grafton and one in Maclean – compared with consolidating meetings into a single chamber. Cr Baker’s second motion seeks to introduce local rules into the council’s Code of Meeting Practice to clarify how debate and questions
the council on the matters raised. More broadly, some residents expressed frustration about difficulties receiving responses after lodging enquiries or complaints with council. The organisation of the meeting itself also drew comment from some attendees. Residents noted the absence of council staff normally responsible for supporting public meetings, such as setting
up the venue, assisting with logistics and recording minutes. A council staff member initially offered to take notes during the session, but several attendees said she left the meeting after about 20 minutes without explanation. As a result, councillors present were left to handle many of the administrative tasks themselves, including moving the microphone between speakers and ensuring enough seating
was available for the large crowd. Some residents said the lack of staff support contributed to the meeting feeling poorly organised and made it more difficult to keep track of questions and responses. Some attendees also questioned why the meeting was not recorded or livestreamed. Residents suggested broadcasting future sessions could allow more people to stay informed and participate,
Cr Andrew Baker will bring two notice of motion to the next Clarence Valley Council meeting in the Maclean Council Chamber.
should be handled during meetings. The proposed changes would formalise when councillors are able to ask questions about items before council and set out a structured order for debate. Under the proposal, questions on agenda items would only be allowed after a motion had been formally moved and before debate begins, rather than at other points during discussion. The motion also proposes a standard speaking order in debates, with the mover speaking first, followed by a speaker against the motion, then a speaker for it, continuing in alternating order. Another proposed rule would require councillors to remain within the scope of the meeting agenda unless the code specifically allows otherwise. Cr Baker said the changes were intended to make meetings easier
to follow and more transparent for observers. The background to the motion suggests recent changes introduced by the NSW Government to the Model Code of Meeting Practice had left some procedural detail unclear, requiring councils to add local provisions to ensure meetings run smoothly. The changes were aimed at ensuring council meetings were conducted “in a dignified and orderly way befitting to a chamber of democracy” and to promote community confidence in council decision-making. The motions come at a time when council meetings have been under increasing strain, with tensions in the public gallery and confusion over meeting procedures contributing to several disrupted or postponed sessions. Cr Baker’s proposals will be considered by councillors when the Clarence Valley Council meets on Thursday.
particularly those unable to attend in person. Toward the end of the meeting, residents were asked to indicate their level of confidence in council management. According to attendees who compiled notes from the meeting, a large majority indicated they had lost confidence in council’s leadership and transparency. Despite the criticism, many residents said they appreciated the opportunity to speak
directly with councillors and hoped the discussions would lead to better communication and practical improvements. The town hall meetings are expected to continue in other parts of the Clarence Valley as council attempts to improve engagement with the community. Mayor Ray Smith, who chaired both meetings, was contacted for a comment on the matters raised at the meetings and the criticism of the lack of support for the meetings.

Are you looking for a way to celebrate the Autumn Equinox? You may want to check out Frida’s Field, a 120acre regenerative farm and restaurant located in the beautiful Nashua, just 10 minutes from Bangalow in the Byron Bay Hinterland. On Saturday, March 21, Frida’s Field is inviting guests to mark the turning of the season with Half Light: The Autumn Equinox Celebration, a one-night-only immersive dining experience. The Autumn Equinox occurs when the sun sits directly above the equator, creating near equal hours of day and night and signalling the first true day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. It is a natural moment
of balance — a pause between seasons — and Frida’s Field is honouring it with an intimate gathering designed for reflection, connection and celebration. “At Frida’s Field, everything begins with the land,” said owner, Jeanie Wylie. “The equinox is a reminder that we’re part
of a natural rhythm that’s much bigger than us. “Creating moments where people can step into nature, slow down, and connect with one another is incredibly important to me. “Food is the medium — it brings us to the table — but what we’re really nurturing is human connection.”

Grafton Base Hospital keeps pace as emergency demand climbs across Northern NSW By Tim Howard
Grafton Base Hospital has recorded a rise in emergency department demand while maintaining solid performance compared with larger hospitals in the region, according to the latest quarterly report from the NSW Bureau of Health Information. The October to December 2025 Healthcare Quarterly report shows emergency departments across the Northern NSW Local Health District handled a record 60,075 patients, slightly higher than the same period in 2024. At Grafton Base Hospital, emergency department presentations reached 7773 patients, up 3.2% on the same quarter last year. More than three quarters of patients (76.9%) were discharged from the emergency department within four hours, placing the hospital broadly in line
Emergency department demand at Grafton Base Hospital continues to rise, largely in line with figures reported across the Northern NSW Local Health District. Those figures show a record number of patients in the last quarter.
with the performance of larger regional hospitals in the district. The report shows 591 elective surgeries were performed at Grafton during the quarter, with 85.6% completed on time—a 7.6 percentage point improvement on the previous year. Across the district, hospitals are dealing with increasingly complex cases. Higher-acuity patients increased during the quarter, including rises in triage 1 resuscitation,
triage 2 emergency and triage 3 urgent care cases. NNSWLHD director of clinical operations Lynne Weir said hospitals were implementing a range of strategies to improve patient flow and reduce delays. “We’ve been focussing on measures such as escalating patient flow, supporting additional bed capacity and prioritising discharges across all clinical disciplines,” Ms Weir said. She said initiatives such
as patient flow discharge concierges, improved emergency treatment protocols and expanded community care options were helping manage the demand. The district’s busiest facility was Tweed Valley Hospital, which recorded 15,281 emergency department attendances, the highest quarterly figure in its history. At Lismore Base Hospital, presentations climbed to 11,171 patients, a 5.9% increase on the
previous year. Smaller regional facilities also reported strong results. Murwillumbah District Hospital achieved the best emergency department turnaround time among hospitals of its size in NSW, with 91.1% of patients discharged within four hours. Meanwhile Ballina District Hospital saw 5020 emergency presentations, a 3% rise. District-wide, 74.2% of patients began treatment on time, well above the NSW average of 66.3%. Emergency departments at Lismore and Tweed Valley hospitals are now operating under Safe Staffing Levels, which provide higher nurse-topatient ratios in emergency departments. The same staffing model is currently being implemented at Grafton Base Hospital and Ballina District Hospital, which health authorities say will further improve care for
critically ill patients. The report also reflects a statewide statistical change to hospital classifications. Under new peer group categories introduced in 2025, Maclean District Hospital, along with Byron Central and Casino hospitals, has been reclassified from C2 to D1 status. As a result, those hospitals will no longer have their performance figures reported individually in the quarterly report, although their activity will still contribute to district and statewide statistics. Health authorities said the reclassification is purely statistical and does not affect funding or services at the hospitals. Across Northern NSW, the report also recorded 3781 planned surgeries, a 13.7% increase, helping reduce the number of patients waiting for operations by 9.1% compared with the end of 2024.

Casino River Access Restored After Flood Damage By Jeff Gibbs
Public access to the Richmond River in Casino has been restored following the completion of the Halstead Drive reconstruction, a key project aimed at improving flood resilience after the devastating 2022 Northern Rivers floods. The $2.5 million rebuild, funded through the NSW Government’s Crown Lands Flood Recovery Program, has delivered a stronger and more resilient road along the riverbank. The project was carried out by Richmond Valley Council and restores an important community connection to the Richmond River. Halstead Drive runs alongside the river and provides the only public access point to the waterway in this part of Casino. The road is used for recreation, community activities, maintenance
Halstead Drive would provide lasting benefits for the Casino community and ensure safe access to the Richmond River for locals, visitors and emergency services. Minister for Recovery and North Coast Janelle Saffin said the project demonstrates how flood recovery work across the region is focusing on resilience. She said transforming Halstead Drive into a flood-resistant pedestrian and emergency corridor strengthens riverbank protection while maintaining vital

access to the Irving Bridge and for emergency response when required. The road was destroyed during the catastrophic floods that struck the Northern Rivers in 2022,
leaving the community without safe access to the riverbank. Flood-Resilient Reconstruction The rebuilt Halstead Drive has been designed

Flood damage to Halstead Drive
using a “build back better” approach, focusing on long-term resilience rather than simply replacing what was lost. Key reconstruction works included: • Major stabilisation and anchoring of the river embankment to prevent
erosion • Installation of new drainage infrastructure to better manage water runoff • Construction of retaining walls and gabion rock structures to reinforce the shoreline • Revegetation with native plants to naturally strengthen the riverbank • Rebuilding the road to modern flood-resilient engineering standards The completed roadway will operate primarily as a shared pedestrian corridor, while still allowing access for emergency services and maintenance vehicles when required. Recovery Investment for the Region NSW Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said the project highlights the government’s commitment to rebuilding communities stronger following the 2022 floods. He said restoring
community access. Community Connection to the River Richmond Valley Mayor Robert Mustow welcomed the completion of the project, describing the restored road as an important step in the region’s recovery. Mayor Mustow said reconnecting the community to the Richmond River was highly valued by locals and thanked the NSW Government and Crown Lands for supporting the rebuild. He added that the road also plays a practical role, allowing continued access for maintenance of the Irving Bridge and stormwater infrastructure. With the project now complete, residents and visitors once again have safe access to the Richmond River — a vital recreational, cultural and environmental asset for the Casino community.

Court Approves $105 Million GemLife Over-50s Community in Ballina By Jeff Gibbs
Plans for a major new housing development in Ballina have moved forward after the NSW Land and Environment Court approved GemLife’s proposed $105 million over-50s land lease community on Burns Point Ferry Road. The development will deliver 110 lowmaintenance homes designed specifically for residents aged over 50, along with approximately $15 million in lifestyle and community facilities aimed at promoting active and connected living. GemLife Managing Director and Group CEO Adrian Puljich said the approval followed a detailed and independent court assessment that examined a range of planning and environmental issues. “The application was subject to detailed technical review and independent assessment, including consideration of flooding, biodiversity and environmental matters,” Mr Puljich said.
Strong Environmental Protections A significant feature of the project is its environmental conservation component. More than 75 per cent of the 57-hectare site will be set aside as a conservation reserve, protecting approximately 46.6 hectares of coastal wetlands and estuarine habitat. The protected area will include: • 40.5 hectares under a
biobanking agreement • 4.24 hectares protected through a biodiversity stewardship agreement The conservation reserve will be actively managed in perpetuity, including weed control, feral animal management and restoration of natural hydrology to support the local ecosystem. The protected area includes habitat for wildlife such as the Mangrove Honeyeater and
Collared Kingfisher, while walking trails will provide public access to parts of the reserve overlooking the Richmond River and Emigrant Creek. Scaled-Back Development GemLife revised its original proposal following community feedback and planning assessment, reducing the number of homes from 148 to 110. Homes will be constructed on sections
of the site previously cleared for agricultural use, including former cattle grazing and sugar cane farming land, minimising disturbance to environmentally sensitive areas. The development will feature eco-friendly housing with designs incorporating wood, glass and stone, while renewable energy technology such as an on-site virtual power plant using solar energy will also be included. Addressing Housing Demand for Older Residents According to Census data, 47.8 per cent of Ballina’s population is aged over 50, with a median age of 48 compared with 39 in New South Wales and 38 nationally. Mr Puljich said the development will help meet the growing demand for downsizer housing in the region. “Our vision is to deliver quality housing to meet this need, supporting older residents to downsize locally while staying connected to their community and support networks,” he said.
group has been launched in the Byron Shire, giving young people the opportunity to contribute
ideas and perspectives on issues affecting their community. The initiative, known as
the Byron Youth Initiative Program, recently held its first meeting in Mullumbimby, bringing together 15 students aged between 12 and 17 from across the Shire. At the inaugural meeting the group also decided on its official name, reflecting its aim to play an active role in local discussions and initiatives. Young Voices Shaping the Future Byron Shire Mayor Sarah Ndiaye said the first meeting showed strong enthusiasm from the students to understand and engage with local government and community issues. “What struck me most at the first meeting was the level of thought and curiosity in the room,” Mayor Ndiaye said. Students asked
thoughtful questions about several local matters, including the Northern Rivers Rail Trail and how council decisions are made. Mayor Ndiaye said the program will create an important platform for young people to share their perspectives and lived experiences. “Young people often see things adults miss, and their ideas and questions help us think more broadly about the kind of community we’re building for the future,” she said. Advocating for Local Youth Council Community Project Officer Malcolm Foard said he was impressed by the enthusiasm and commitment shown by the group.

Resort-Style Community Facilities The GemLife Ballina community will include a large residents’ clubhouse and a range of leisure facilities including: • Indoor swimming pool • Bowling alley • Gym and fitness spaces • Games room • Community hall • Pickleball court Under the land lease model, homeowners purchase their dwelling but lease the land, paying a weekly site fee covering maintenance and use of facilities. GemLife says the model allows residents to unlock equity from their family homes while maintaining an active retirement lifestyle. The Ballina project will become GemLife’s fourth community in New South Wales, joining the completed Tweed Waters, the nearcomplete Rainbow Beach development and the upcoming Lennox Head project. Construction is expected to begin in late 2026.
“These young people are really switched on and have a strong commitment to improving the lives of young people in the Shire,” Mr Foard said. Members will provide input on issues affecting local youth, including potential improvements to the Suffolk Park skatepark and upgrades to public play spaces at Apex Park and Dening Park. Encouraging Future Community Leaders The Byron Youth Initiative Program will meet up to six times each year, allowing members to discuss issues, share ideas and provide feedback to council. Mayor Ndiaye said the initiative will help ensure young people have a voice in shaping the future of the Byron Shire.

Celebrating 60 Years of Love: Congratulations Helen and Allan Trustum By Jeff & Sharon A truly special milestone is being celebrated this week as Helen and Allan Trustum mark 60 years of marriage on March 19, a remarkable journey built on love, partnership and lifelong commitment. Everyone at The Northern Rivers Times would like to extend our warmest congratulations to Helen and Allan on reaching this extraordinary diamond wedding anniversary. Sixty years of marriage is a rare and wonderful achievement. It reflects a lifetime of shared memories, unwavering support and the deep friendship that forms the heart of a lasting relationship. Over the decades, Helen and Allan
have travelled life’s journey side by side, celebrating the joyful moments and supporting one another through the challenges that inevitably come along the way. For many couples, the secret to a long and happy marriage lies not only in
love but also in patience, understanding and the ability to grow together through every season of life. Helen and Allan’s six decades together are a testament to those enduring qualities. A diamond anniversary represents far more than simply the passing of time.
It symbolises a partnership that has strengthened year after year. It tells the story of countless shared experiences — building a life together, celebrating family milestones and creating memories that will last for generations. Throughout communities across the Northern Rivers,
stories like Helen and Allan’s remind us of the importance of family, connection and enduring relationships. Long marriages often become quiet pillars of a community, built on kindness, loyalty and devotion. Over sixty years, there have no doubt been many
treasured moments — birthdays, Christmas celebrations, family gatherings and the simple everyday experiences that form the fabric of a lifetime together. Helen and Allan’s anniversary is not only a celebration of their marriage but also a celebration of the love and support they have shared with family, friends and their community. As March 19 arrives, we hope their special day is filled with joy, reflection and the company of those who mean the most to them. From all of us at The Northern Rivers Times, congratulations to Helen and Allan Trustum on celebrating 60 wonderful years of marriage. Your story is a beautiful reminder that true love can last a lifetime.
More Space Planned for Lismore Showground By Jeff Gibbs
The Lismore Showground is set to gain additional space following a decision by the NSW Government to repurpose nearby floodaffected land acquired through the Resilient Homes Program. Five properties located next to the showground in North Lismore will be removed in the coming weeks, creating additional room for parking and expanding the capacity for community events. The land was purchased as part of the state’s flood recovery buyback program after the devastating 2022 Northern Rivers floods. Because the sites are located in flood-prone areas, they can no longer be used for housing. Instead, they will now be
converted into functional space to support community activities at the showground. Supporting Community Events The NSW Reconstruction Authority is currently finalising lease arrangements with the
Lismore Show Society to allow the vacant land to be used as soon as possible. The additional space will help address ongoing parking challenges and improve the capacity of the showground to host major regional events. Minister for Recovery
and Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin said the Lismore Showground plays a vital role in bringing the Northern Rivers community together. “Lismore Showground is a vital hub for the Northern Rivers, hosting
major events that bring our community together,” Ms Saffin said. “By removing these flood-affected properties and repurposing nearby buyback land, we are creating more functional space for the showground to grow.” Practical Use for FloodProne Land NSW Reconstruction Authority Chief Executive Kate Fitzgerald said the Resilient Homes Program has already helped relocate hundreds of households out of flood risk areas. She said the focus is now turning to how former residential sites can be used to benefit the community. “Working with the Lismore Showground to unlock additional parking is a simple but practical
example of how these sites can be repurposed to support local events and economic activity,” Ms Fitzgerald said. Long-Term Benefits for the Showground President of the North Coast National A & I Society, John Gibson, welcomed the move, saying the additional land will help address longstanding parking issues at the showground. He said the initiative would support the many community groups and organisations that regularly use the venue. With more than 35 local groups and organisations utilising the showground for events and activities, the extra space is expected to improve access and help the venue continue hosting major regional events into the future.

New Community Service Centre Opens in Ballina to Support Vulnerable Families By Jeff Gibbs Families and children across the Ballina region will have improved access to support services following the opening of a new Community Service Centre (CSC) designed to strengthen child protection and family support in the Northern Rivers. The Minns NSW Government has invested nearly $3 million into the new facility, which brings together 20 staff from the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) in a modern, purpose-built environment aimed at improving outcomes for local families. Located at 191–199 River Street in Ballina, the centre will serve as a permanent hub for child protection and family support services across the region. The
Minister for Families, Communities and Disability Inclusion Kate Washington
facility includes 14 child protection caseworkers, along with additional staff working to assist families at risk and strengthen connections with local support services. The new centre has
been designed to provide a safe and welcoming environment for both staff and families seeking assistance. Facilities include contemporary workspaces, community meeting rooms and a
dedicated family room that offers therapeutic spaces for children. Importantly, the Ballina CSC will also provide operational support for the statewide Joint Child Protection Response Program, a specialised multi-agency initiative involving DCJ, NSW Police and NSW Health. The program responds to serious cases of criminal child abuse through coordinated investigations and support services. Minister for Families, Communities and Disability Inclusion Kate Washington said the new facility ensures local families can access vital support services closer to home. “This investment ensures local families in Ballina and surrounding communities receive the support they need, close to home,” Ms Washington
said. “The centre will provide a safe, modern and inviting environment where our caseworkers can support children and families when they need it most.” Minister for the North Coast Janelle Saffin said the new facility reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening frontline services across regional communities. “Our caseworkers carry out vital work, and this new space gives them the facilities they need to support local families with dignity, cultural understanding and care,” Ms Saffin said. “It’s a proud day for Ballina and a major step forward for providing services in a way that is safe and respectful.” The Ballina centre is
the fourth Community Service Centre established for the region, following the rebuild and significant investment in three facilities in Lismore after the devastating 2022 Northern Rivers floods. Secretary of the Department of Communities and Justice Michael Tidball said having strong community connections is critical when supporting vulnerable families. “Connection to community is essential. This new centre gives families and staff a safe, inclusive and welcoming place to work together,” Mr Tidball said. The new facility is expected to improve coordination between agencies and ensure families across the Northern Rivers can access help locally when they need it most.

New Build-to-Rent Homes Rising in East Lismore
Jeff Gibbs
Construction of 50 new build-to-rent homes in East Lismore is progressing rapidly, marking a significant step toward improving housing availability in the Northern Rivers region. The development, delivered by the NSW Government’s property developer Landcom, is the first project of its kind in the area and is designed to provide long-term rental housing for the local community. Work began on the site in November 2025, and with the foundations now complete, construction has moved into the main structural phase. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late 2026. Affordable Housing Included Importantly, more than
Build-to-rent East Lismore artist's impression - Crawford Road looking south
20 per cent of the new homes will be allocated as affordable housing, supporting residents on low-to-moderate incomes. The development will offer a variety of housing options, including studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and threebedroom apartments, catering to different household sizes and lifestyle needs. Located in East Lismore, the apartments will be within close proximity to shops, schools, Southern
Cross University and local parklands, creating a convenient living environment for future tenants. Secure Rental Model The project will operate under the build-to-rent model, meaning the NSW Government will retain ownership of the property. The site will then be managed by a specialist operator to provide tenants with greater rental stability and long-term security. The approach is designed to strengthen rental supply
while ensuring tenants have reliable housing options in regional areas where availability has been tight. More Homes Planned for the Precinct Planning is also underway for a broader redevelopment of adjoining land, which could unlock at least 400 additional homes for the Lismore community. A Development Application for Stage 1, covering approximately 100 homes, is expected to

be lodged with Lismore City Council before the end of March 2026. The wider precinct will include a range of housing options, including specific lots designed for homes relocated through the flood buyback program following the 2022 disaster. Government Housing Strategy The regional build-torent project forms part of the NSW Government’s broader plan to increase housing supply and improve rental security across the state. Premier Chris Minns said the availability and affordability of housing remains one of the biggest challenges facing residents in NSW, particularly in regional areas such as the Northern Rivers. Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said the Lismore project demonstrates how
new housing models can help deliver secure rental homes close to essential services. Meanwhile, Minister for the North Coast and Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin said the development would provide modern housing in a location safely above the flood zone, helping the community rebuild after the devastating floods of 2022. Landcom Chief Executive Alex Wendler said the project reflects strong momentum in housing delivery across the Northern Rivers as Landcom marks 50 years of building homes for NSW communities. The East Lismore development is expected to play an important role in addressing the region’s housing shortage while offering residents secure and modern rental options for the future.

Letters to the Editor “Leemo has views on just about anything”
SIMPLY BE WHO YOU ‘ARE’ ‘Mum Jane’, me & the Buddies note you have been watching a show on our television where everyone in it is called either ‘Sir’, ‘Madam’ or ‘Duke & Duchess’ ‘Your Majesty’ or ‘Your Honour’. Whilst we don’t harbour aspirations toward the more grandiose titles, we’d all like to know how we at least become a ‘Sir’ or a ‘Madam’. What do we need to do? ‘Pasqualie’ is obsessively desirous of being addressed as ‘Madame Pasqualie’ ‘specially when spoken with a French accent. (’Leemo Cat’ back.) ‘So Mum, how do us Buddies Inc. become Sirs & Madames? Her response was ‘tea & bikkies please Leems.’ (served by Leemo the Knave!!) ) ‘OK Buddies. Pray tell why you are desirous of these, at times, overrated titles – explanation please.’ As Head Honcho of the Buddies I spoke. ‘Well Mum, we’re sick of being just regarded as just CATS.. comments like ‘oh, there go those poxy CATS – it would be better is we overheard the words ‘THERE goes SIR LEEMO’ & ‘MADAME PASQUALIE’ out for a promenade. We DESIRE better recognition – Gottit? And, did you know Mum that MANY famous figures throughout history WORSHIPPED cats – Cleopatra,Ernest Hemingway,Mark Twain,Frida Kahlo,Albert Einstein, ,Freddie Mercury,Florence Nightingale,Marie Antoinette,Edgar Allan
Poe & the list goes on. YOU too! ANYHOW MUM ‘HOW’ do we gain these titles we so want?’ Hmmmmn. Well, for you bloke Buddies to become a SIR, you must ma e a significant contribution to your profession, charity or science. I reckon that rules all of you out of contention. Let’s move on to you girl Buddies. Well, in 1300, the formal term of address to a lady (a woman of rank or authority, or the mistress of a household), came from Old French ma dame, literally "my lady’. It became a conventional term of address to women of any standing but mainly the married or matronly & also "a woman of fashion or pretension" (often with a hint of disparagement) by 1590s). From 1719 it became known as a term for "a courtesan, a prostitute and by 1871 the "female owner or manager of a brothel. CRIKEY, I reckon this stuff rules you all out of contention as well unless there’s stuff I’ve not been informed about BY YOU GIRLS?? AND, WHY CAN’T YOU JUST ALL BE JUST WHO YOU ARE ANYHOW? (Oooh, a perplexing question from the Old Woman.) She rabbled on. ‘Well, Buddies, it’s cos it we are inundated with messages from an early age that tell us what success looks like, who we should be, and how to behave: it’s nothing but a Societal expectation we all get sucked in to. I went through it and figured my life was easier to simply be who I am. I have no need to be held with any high regard..I simply wish to stay the rather eccentric kinda person I am. AND, I encourage you Buddies to be the same – you’re otherwise constantly striving for the impossible. SO, just be yourselves & let’s have treats – be proud of YOU always & purr as much as you want. ‘OK, Sir Brutus..could you turn on the TV.’ Nitey,Purrs, Leems & Buddies.

Transparency Matters in Local Government The article about the Clarence Valley Council general manager’s performance review raises an important issue about transparency in local government. If councillors themselves disagree about the process, the community deserves to understand why. Residents pay the rates and rely on council leadership to manage large infrastructure projects and services. While it is encouraging that the review acknowledged improvements in staff turnover and asset monitoring, the split vote suggests deeper concerns about governance that should not be ignored. Open discussion is the best way to maintain trust. J. Calderwood Yamba Council Process Should Be Clear Reading about the split council vote regarding the general manager’s performance made me wonder how often internal council processes become political rather than practical. If the review panel rated the performance reasonably well, then the debate should probably focus on improving the review process itself rather than questioning the results afterwards. What residents want most is stability and progress in council operations. L. Featherstone Grafton Ratepayers Deserve Better Insight The story about the Clarence Valley Council review shows exactly why many residents feel disconnected from local government. Decisions are often made behind closed doors and then briefly explained afterwards. If
councillors disagree with the process, then surely it is time for councils across NSW to modernise how performance reviews are conducted and reported publicly. M. Halvorsen Maclean Opening Doors to Sustainability I found the Sustainable House Day story genuinely inspiring. Seeing how neighbours design homes that work with the climate instead of against it is something more people should experience. Solar energy, ventilation design and water efficiency are not ust environmental choices — they save households money. I hope many Byron Shire residents open their homes to visitors this year. K. Dravinski Byron Bay Smart Homes for a Changing Climate Sustainable housing should be a priority across the Northern Rivers, especially after the extreme weather events we’ve experienced in recent years. Houses designed for passive cooling and resilience make sense in our climate. Programs like Sustainable House Day help people see practical examples rather than just hearing theories about sustainability. T. Vandenberg Ballina Learning From Real Homes The idea of homeowners opening their houses to show sustainable design is fantastic. Many people want to make improvements but simply don’t know where to start. Walking through a real home and talking directly with the owner is probably the most practical education anyone could get. S. Roberts Murwillumbah Sustainability Must Be Affordable I hope Sustainable House Day includes some affordable examples as well. Sometimes sustainability events highlight beautiful architect-designed homes that ordinary families could never afford. It would be great to see renovations, small homes and retrofits that everyday people can replicate. R. Milenko Ocean Shores A Love Story Worth Celebrating The story about Sandy and Gloria Robertson celebrating 74 years of marriage was a refreshing change from the usual headlines. In a world full of conflict and stress, it’s heart-warming to see a couple whose lives span so much local history and family connection. A. Markovic Lismore The Secret to Lasting Love Seventy-four years of marriage is remarkable by any standard. Stories like Sandy and Gloria’s remind us that commitment, patience and humour still matter. Younger generations could learn a lot from couples who have navigated decades together. P. Zhukov Casino
Remembering a Lismore Landmark The Robertson story brought back memories of the old A.G. Robertsons department store in Lismore. Many longtime residents still remember shopping there before the fire. t s wonderful that the family name continues to be part of Northern Rivers history. D. Vanstone Alstonville Celebrating Life’s Milestones Not enough media attention is given to the positive milestones in people’s lives. Celebrating long marriages and family histories gives communities a sense of continuity. Congratulations to Sandy and Gloria on such an extraordinary achievement. G. Torvalds Evans Head
often seem short-lived, their 74 years together show what loyalty and patience can achieve. H. Petrescu Tweed Heads Family History Matters Stories like the Robertson anniversary remind us that community history is made through families and local businesses. The mention of the old department store was a nice reminder of Lismore’s past. V. Sokolov Tenterfield Local Papers Still Matter Local newspapers play an important role in highlighting these personal milestones. Big media outlets rarely cover them, but they are often the stories people enjoy reading the most. O. Kaczmarek Coffs Harbour
Politics and Process at Council The council article highlights something ratepayers often suspect — that council politics can influence administrative decisions. Whether the general manager performed well or not, the process must be transparent and consistent. Public confidence depends on it. E. Vukadin South Grafton
Leadership Under Scrutiny The council performance review article demonstrates why strong leadership matters in regional councils. Managing infrastructure, staffing and finances across large rural areas is not an easy job, and constructive debate among councillors should ultimately strengthen governance. Y. Petrovic Woolgoolga
Credit Where It’s Due While there seems to be debate around the council review process, it is also important to recognise when public servants deliver results. Completing projects on time and improving workforce stability are achievements that should be acknowledged. C. Radomile Iluka
A Balanced Community Paper I enjoyed the balance of stories in the paper this week — from council politics to sustainability and community milestones. t reflects the real mix of issues that make up regional life. R. Vukmanic Burleigh Heads
Building Better Northern Rivers Homes As someone who works in construction, I fully support Sustainable House Day. Good design can dramatically reduce energy bills and improve comfort. Our region has the climate for some of the best passive housing in Australia if people are willing to learn. N. Strazinski Lennox Head Teaching the Next Generation I hope schools and young people are encouraged to attend Sustainable House Day events. Teaching sustainability early helps create a generation that builds smarter homes and communities. B. Hazelton Kingscliff A Region That Leads on Sustainability The Northern Rivers has always had a strong culture of environmental awareness. Programs like Sustainable House Day are part of that tradition and help keep the region moving forward. F. Drazic Pottsville Devotion Through the Decades It was lovely to read about Sandy and Gloria Robertson. In an era where relationships
A Remarkable Marriage Finally, congratulations again to Sandy and Gloria Robertson. Seventy-four years together is not just a personal milestone — it is a piece of Northern Rivers history worth celebrating. L. Davies Coolangatta Lower River Towns Deserve Fair Support The comments about flood recovery in the Lower Richmond River communities struck a chord. Towns like Coraki, Woodburn and Broadwater were devastated during the floods, yet many residents feel the focus has largely remained on larger centres. Recovery should not depend on population size. Every community affected deserves fair funding, mitigation works and longterm protection. The region cannot afford to leave smaller towns behind. P. Halvorsen Woodburn Protecting Our Sporting Grounds The vandalism at Ellem Oval is deeply disappointing. Cricket volunteers and curators spend countless hours preparing pitches so local sport can thrive. To see that work destroyed by reckless behaviour is frustrating for players and the wider community. Sporting grounds are shared spaces that belong
March 19, 2026 to everyone. Respect for those who maintain them is essential. J. Radomile Grafton A Disturbing Escalation The report about a sparkler bomb damaging the Ellem Oval cricket pitch is alarming. Incidents like this are no longer simple vandalism; they pose real risks to volunteers, players and children using the field. Security measures and stronger consequences for offenders may now be necessary to protect community facilities. L. Vukadin South Grafton Regional Journalism at Its Best I felt compelled to write after reading both this week’s edition and last week’s paper. Quite simply, they were masterpieces of regional news reporting. The balance of stories, the thoughtful presentation and the quality of writing across the pages made it clear how much care and professionalism goes into producing The Northern Rivers Times. From serious coverage of recovery and housing challenges to uplifting community stories and insightful opinion pieces, the paper managed to capture the full picture of life in our region. The layout, photography and graphics also deserve recognition — everything worked together seamlessly to make the stories engaging and easy to follow. Regional journalism plays a vital role in keeping communities informed and connected, and these last two editions demonstrated exactly why it matters. Congratulations to the entire team for producing two outstanding newspapers. P. Redman Ocean Shores Preserving Our Historic Homes The story of Hamish Webster relocating his 115-year-old cottage after the floods shows determination and creativity. Too many historic homes have been demolished in the aftermath of disasters. Relocating and restoring them where possible preserves local history and reduces waste.
LETTERS & OPINIONS His commitment to reusing old-growth timber highlights the value of materials from another era. R. Milenko Nimbin Recovery Through Innovation Moving an entire house out of the floodplain is not an easy decision, but it demonstrates that recovery can involve new thinking. Programs that allow homeowners to relocate rather than demolish older houses provide practical alternatives while protecting heritage buildings. S. Dravinski Lismore Heights Community Generosity Still Shines The achievement by Norco employees raising $500,000 for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service is remarkable. It shows how grassroots generosity can make a real difference to essential services that save lives across regional communities. A. Markovic Ballina Leemo Always Makes Me Smile I never skip the Leemo column. In a paper filled with serious issues and heavy news, it’s refreshing to read something that reminds us not to take life too seriously. The playful exchange between Leemo and Mum Jane about “the meaning of life” was both funny and surprisingly thoughtful. Sometimes humour is the best way to explore big ideas, and that column manages to do exactly that. It’s also nice to see something a bit quirky in a regional newspaper. It adds personality and character to the paper and shows that community journalism can still be fun. Please keep Leemo coming. R. Valenko Ballina A Light-Hearted Break in the Paper Leemo is one of those columns that you can read twice and still notice something new. The humour, the little philosophical moments and the slightly mischievous tone make it stand out from anything else

in the paper. In a week where many stories focus on serious issues like housing, floods and politics, the Leemo column offers readers a small moment of light relief. Every newspaper needs something that brings a smile, and this column does that perfectly. J. Karlson Murwillumbah Thought-Provoking Commentary Nigel Dawe’s opinion piece about Alexei Navalny was a powerful reminder that the struggle for freedom and accountability is not limited to distant countries. His reflection on the abuse of power and the importance of standing up for democratic values was both thoughtful and confronting. Opinion columns are most effective when they encourage readers to think more deeply about the world beyond our own region, and this piece certainly achieved that. It showed that even in a regional newspaper, important global conversations still have a place. D. Halvorsen Grafton Supporting the Helicopter That Saves Lives Many Northern Rivers families have stories about the rescue helicopter service arriving in a moment of crisis. The dedication of Norco staff donating over many years is something the whole region should applaud. D. Hawkins Alstonville

keep the issue visible while supporting organisations that work directly with victims and young people. F. Petrescu Kingscliff Local News That Reflects Community This week’s mix of stories — from flood recovery and housing to sport, charity and community efforts — reflects the real life of the Northern Rivers. Local newspapers continue to play an important role in telling the stories that matter to regional communities. M. Sokolov Coffs Harbour Graphics That Make Complex Stories Clear I particularly appreciated the graphic accompanying the property market story. Complex topics like global conflicts, oil prices and interest rates can be difficult to explain, but the visual design helped make the economic connections far easier to understand. The combination of imagery and data clearly illustrated how international events could ripple into Australia’s housing market. It is encouraging to see a regional newspaper using professional graphics and design to enhance reporting rather than simply filling space. Presentation matters, and the visual work in this paper continues to stand out. K. Radomir Tweed Heads
Cycling for a Cause The Against the Wind Challenge is a powerful way to raise awareness about domestic and family violence. Turning a physical challenge into a platform for community education and fundraising demonstrates how sport and community spirit can work together for meaningful change. T. Smithers Lennox Head
Global Events Still Affect Local Markets The article about tensions in the Middle East influencing Australia’s housing market was a thoughtful piece of analysis. It is easy to assume global events have little connection to everyday life here, but the link through fuel prices, inflation and interest rates shows how interconnected the world has become. K. Dravinski Byron Bay
More Conversations About Violence Prevention Domestic violence remains one of the most serious issues facing communities across Australia. Events like the charity cycling challenge help

About the word ‘no’… by Nigel Dawe NONE other than history’s greatest theorem-construing mathematician Pythagoras, once said: “The oldest, shortest words – ‘yes’ and ‘no’ – are those which require the most thought.” Doubly so if you’ve managed to somehow mix the two expressions up, which is what the British are said to have done when they first made contact with the Gadigal people in Sydney harbour. So instead of ‘biyal’ meaning ‘no’ (which it does) the British thought it actually meant ‘yes’, the ramifications of which (until it was later understood and subsequently corrected) would’ve been considered utterly rude, not to mention full-blown ridiculous. It’s little wonder the locals had this fair-skinned and distant-looking lot pegged as creatures from another world. Which gives an added dimension to Jodi Picoult’s comment, “In the space between yes and no, there is a lifetime. It’s the difference between the path you walk and one you leave behind; it’s the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are.” And who we ‘really are’ has everything to do with what we’ve said either yes, or no to (minus a few maybes) over the course of our lives. These words are the ultimate building blocks, if not the universal currency of exchange between every human being. Or as Jack Canfield once hinted, “There are only two words that will always lead you to success. Those words are yes and no.” Intriguingly, in most
languages the actual saying of the expression ’no’, is short and sharp, it is easy to say – with a few exceptions such as ‘mahotebhuu’ in Burmese, and ‘nahaniri’ from a local language spoken in Paraguay. But a monosyllabic, or at most a two-syllable ‘no’ (throughout the world) makes clear and perfect sense: it can be said quickly and effectively, without confusion or difficulty. Whether someone wants to actually hear and then heed this term, is a very different story. “It’s saying no,” once said Catherynne Valente, "That’s your first hint that something’s alive. It says no. That’s how you know a baby is starting to turn into a person… No is the heart of thinking.” The heart of making decisions, and having an impact that can turn your life into something you can be proud of, and build upon. Being able to say yes (at the right time) is equally no less determining of where we ‘end up’ over the long haul. Or as Paulo Coelho once discerned, “If you must say yes, say it with an open heart. If you must say no, say it without fear.” While ‘yes’ and ‘no’ are very much akin to the green and red signals on a stop light, the red doesn’t always imply a negative: in this context it actually ensures that we don’t run into any oncoming traffic, instead we ‘wait’ until it is safe to proceed. So much of existence is about timing, if not the time we take to make the best choices. Relatedly, Josh Billings once suggested, “Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.”

essential services. The helicopter service is a lifeline across vast rural areas, and the fact that local workers have helped raise such a large amount speaks volumes about community values. M. Sokolov Casino
Trades Open to Everyone The profile of Hayley Miles was a great reminder that career paths are not fixed. Switching from hairdressing to carpentry later in life takes courage and determination. It is encouraging to see more women entering construction trades, especially at a time when skilled workers are urgently needed across the region. A. Peterson Murwillumbah
Cooking With Personality The cooking page had real personality this week. Recipes often read like instruction manuals, but the playful tone and helpful tips made it enjoyable to read as well as practical. It’s good to see a local paper presenting food in a way that feels relaxed and relatable. P. Halvorsen Kingscliff
Encouraging Women in Construction The increase in female participation in construction trades is excellent news. For many years these careers were seen as male-only pathways, but the industry clearly benefits when more people bring different skills and perspectives to worksites. Stories like this help inspire the next generation. D. Kovacevic Kingscliff

Community Spirit at Norco The Norco employees raising half a million dollars for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service shows the best of regional Australia. These contributions come from everyday workers giving a little each week, yet the impact is enormous. Many families across Northern NSW owe their lives to the helicopter service, so this generosity should be celebrated. R. Zhukov Ballina Local Workers Supporting Lifesaving Services The Norco fundraising milestone highlights something often overlooked — that regional communities quietly support their own
Learning Skills That Save Lives The announcement of Royal Life Saving first aid courses across the Northern Rivers is something every resident should consider. In regional communities we often find ourselves first on the scene when an accident or medical emergency occurs. Knowing how to perform CPR or basic first aid could make all the difference before professional help arrives. It’s encouraging to see these courses being offered locally and I hope many people take advantage of the opportunity. G. Richards Byron Bay First Aid Training Is Essential Too often we assume emergencies only happen to someone else. The reality is that accidents at home, on the beach or in the workplace can happen anywhere. First aid training should be something more Australians take seriously. Programs like these help build safer and more prepared communities. A. McDougall Ballina Planning Growth the Right Way The Kings Forest development has the potential to become one of the most
significant growth areas in the Tweed Shire. If it delivers on promises of schools, retail centres and community facilities, it could become a well-planned community rather than just another housing estate. The key will be making sure infrastructure keeps pace with development. D. Harrington Kingscliff Balancing Growth and Lifestyle Growth across the Tweed Coast is inevitable, but it must be managed carefully. Developments like Kings Forest should enhance the region without sacrificing the lifestyle and environment that attract people here in the first place. Good planning and strong community consultation will be essential. J. Callaghan Casuarina Farmers Need Stable Trade The rural news report about possible US tariff changes highlights how vulnerable farmers can be to global politics. Australian producers work hard to build strong export markets, and any disruption can quickly affect prices and profitability. Maintaining strong trade relationships is critical for rural communities. R. Whitaker Kyogle Global Decisions, Local Consequences Many people don’t realise how international trade decisions affect local agriculture. If global markets shift, farmers here feel the impact almost immediately. The article was a good reminder that regional Australia is closely connected to the wider world economy. S. Bennett Casino Respect Community Sporting Grounds The vandalism at Ellem Oval is extremely disappointing. Cricket clubs rely heavily on volunteers who spend hours preparing wickets and
maintaining grounds. When someone damages those facilities, it’s the community that pays the price. Local sporting venues deserve far more respect. M. Gallagher South Grafton Support the People Behind Local Sport Local sport doesn’t run itself. Behind every match there are volunteers marking fields, preparing pitches and organising teams. The vandalism reported at Ellem Oval is frustrating for everyone involved and hopefully those responsible are identified. T. Lawson Maclean A Strong Motoring Section The motoring pages are one of the most enjoyable parts of the paper. The Cadillac Optiq review was detailed without being overly technical, making it easy for everyday readers to understand the pros and cons of the vehicle. It’s good to see proper motoring journalism still appearing in regional newspapers. L. Cartwright Tweed Heads A Website That Keeps the Region Connected I just wanted to congratulate The Northern Rivers Times team on the excellent website. It has become one of the first places I check each day for local news. The site is easy to navigate, well presented and, most importantly, it is kept constantly updated with fresh stories and information. In a time when reliable local news can be hard to find online, it’s refreshing to see a regional publication maintaining such a professional digital presence. The website keeps our communities informed and connected, even between print editions. It’s a credit to the team behind it and a great service for the Northern Rivers. S. Whitfield Evans Head

REMINDERS OF HIM Jeff Gibbs
Monroe gives the film its emotional centre. She plays Kenna with enough fragility and steel to keep the character from slipping into melodrama. Tyriq Withers brings warmth and restraint as Ledger, making him more than a standard romantic lead. Lauren Graham and Bradley Whitford are well cast as Grace and Patrick, Diem’s protective grandparents, and they give the family conflict real weight. Rudy Pankow appears as Scotty, Diem’s late father, while country star Lainey Wilson takes on the role of Amy, Kenna’s friend and co-worker. Supporting players include Jennifer Robertson as Kenna’s landlord, Zoe Kosovic as Diem, Nicholas Duvernay as part of Ledger’s bar team, Hilary Jardine and Monika Myers. What makes Reminders of Him work best is that it does not play like a simple date-night romance. It is much more interested in motherhood, shame and emotional repair than in swoony fantasy. Caswill keeps the tone measured, which helps during the film’s heavier stretches. There is still plenty of Colleen Hooverstyle intensity in the material, but the screen version appears to have been shaped with a steadier hand than some viewers may expect. Early reviews have described it as a more restrained weeper, with praise for Monroe and Withers in
For Australian audiences heading to the cinema this week, Reminders of Him arrives as a glossy, emotional romantic drama built around grief, guilt and the long road to forgiveness. Released in Australian cinemas on March 12, 2026, the film is directed by Vanessa Caswill, written by Colleen Hoover and Lauren Levine, and adapts Hoover’s bestselling 2022 novel. The movie runs about 110 to 114 minutes in Australian listings and carries an M rating for mature themes and coarse language. The story centres on Kenna Rowan, played by Maika Monroe. After serving years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna returns to her hometown in Wyoming desperate to rebuild her life and reconnect with her young daughter, Diem. That reunion is anything but simple. Diem is being raised by her grandparents, Grace and Patrick, who want nothing to do with Kenna. The only person willing to see her as more than her past is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner with his own connection to the family. From there, the film leans heavily into second chances, buried pain and a romance that grows in the middle of unresolved grief.
particular. There are also several interesting facts behind the production. The film is presented by Universal Pictures and marks an early feature release for Heartbones Entertainment, the company launched by Hoover and Levine. It was directed by Vanessa Caswill, known for Love at First Sight and work on Little Women, and it was made with an all-female filmmaking leadership team. The original novel has sold more than 6 million copies in the United States, has been translated into 45 languages, and the adaptation was filmed in Calgary, Alberta, during 2025 before landing in cinemas in March 2026. For Australians, this is the kind of film that will likely divide viewers depending on how much patience they have for big feelings and wounded characters. If you enjoy emotional literary adaptations and don’t mind a story that asks you to sit with sorrow before offering hope, Reminders of Him is likely to hit the mark. It is earnest, sad, occasionally frustrating, but genuinely heartfelt. Monroe’s performance alone makes it worth a look.

THE MATTER OF FACTS
SEVEN, 8.40pm

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET? ABC TV, 8.20pm
Dawn French (The Vicar of Dibley) and the wonderfully weird Mark Heap (Friday Night Dinner) team up for this twisted sitcom about a couple who profit from a life insurance payout after one of them is mistakenly declared dead. Ostensibly late husband William (Heap) is now confined to the family’s attic while his indomitable wife Debbie (French) enjoys meetings with the local “widows club”. Son Harry (Craig Roberts, pictured above left with Heap and French) has been deep in mourning, but is soon brought in on the ruse against his will. With a police officer wife (Mandip Gill) who he definitely can’t confide in, Harry is caught in a war between his conscience and a fraudulent fortune.
From a billionaire caught in the mouth of a humpback whale to an outerspace emergency and a giant Jack-o’-Lantern, the ninth season of this first responder drama seems to have given up entirely on believability. Monday’s instalment, titled “War”, changes all that. Bringing the team back down to earth, the heavy-hitting hour deals with internal conflict at Station 118. Following his dismissal of Hen (Aisha Hinds), Chimney (Kenneth Choi) comes under fire from Athena (Angela Bassett, right) and Buck (Oliver Stark), but Eddie (Ryan Guzman) supports his captain’s decision. Meanwhile, Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is unsettled by a new AI assistant.
ABC TV, 8.30pm
On the 1949 release of George Orwell’s dystopian classic novel 1984, the notion of rewriting history and events to fit political narratives was a daunting prospect to most of the Western world. In 2026, an era rife with social media trolls, AI chatbots and international campaigns designed to undermine our faith in facts, Orwell’s world is no longer far from our reality. Award-winning journalist Hamish Macdonald (above) wades into the fray in this compelling three-part documentary, heading to the frontline of the global information wars to explore how disinformation travels through the digital ecosystem. Tuesday’s premiere examines the effects of modern technology on our brains and belief systems. 2003

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21) Mercury finally goes direct in your home zone, plus Jupiter and the New Moon also activate your family sector. So,SOLUTION it’s a wonderful week for domestic matters, as a project or relationship that’s been dormant (or going backwards) finally starts moving forwards. Mid-week excess is a danger, though, as the Venus/Jupiter square encourages overeating, overspending and/or over-promising. On Sunday, courage and confidence will make your dreams come true. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19) A partnership should gradually improve, as lucky Jupiter jumps through your relationship zone (until June 30). The more proactive you are about communicating clearly, the better. And Thursday’s New Moon lights up your conversation, education and neighbourhood zones. So, it’s a fabulous week to focus, plan, study, organise and strategise, especially involving joint ventures and projects within your local community. Singles - love and family are linked. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18) The New Moon and Mercury (moving forwards) shine a spotlight on financial matters and personal values. Do you need to let go of people, possessions or attitudes that have passed their used-by date? With impulsive Mars also activating your money zone, be careful your main form of entertainment isn’t shopping. Your bank balance (and budget) won’t appreciate a shop-till-you-drop kind of week. Sunday favours helping someone in your local neighbourhood. PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20) The Sun, New Moon, Mercury and Mars are all visiting your sign, so strive toBarbara be more proactive Midgley about pursuing your creative and spiritual goals. No procrastinating, Pisces! It’s also the Equinox (when day and night are of equal length) which favours meditation and contemplation, as you aim for more equilibrium and perspective. With Venus, Saturn and Neptune visiting your selfworth and values zones, peace-of-mind and strong self-esteem are also highlighted.

Sting’s The Last Ship Musical to Dock in Brisbane in 2026
By Jeff Gibbs A powerful and deeply personal stage musical created by legendary musician Sting will arrive in Australia in 2026 when The Last Ship premieres at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) in Brisbane. The highly anticipated production will run from 9 April to 3 May 2026 at QPAC’s new Glasshouse Theatre, offering Australian audiences a rare opportunity to see the internationally acclaimed musical in a specially staged season. A Story Inspired by Real
Shipbuilding Communities The Last Ship is one of Sting’s most personal artistic projects. The musical draws inspiration from his childhood in Wallsend in northeast England, where shipbuilding once dominated local industry and shaped the lives of generations of workers. The story follows Gideon Fletcher, a sailor who returns home after many years away to discover that the shipyard which sustained his town is facing closure. As the community struggles with job losses and uncertainty,
tensions rise between workers, management and government officials. Determined not to lose their heritage, the shipyard workers rally together in a bold act of resistance — they decide to build one final ship, symbolising the pride, identity and resilience of the community. The musical explores powerful themes including community spirit, love, loyalty, economic change and the fight to preserve local identity. Sting Returns to the Stage One of the most exciting
aspects of the Brisbane season is that Sting himself will perform in the production, appearing in the role of Jackie White, a respected shipyard foreman struggling to guide his community through difficult times. For audiences used to seeing Sting in large concert arenas, the opportunity to watch him perform in an intimate theatre setting offers something very special. Sting also composed the music and lyrics for the production, blending his signature songwriting style with theatrical storytelling. The musical’s book was originally written by John Logan and Brian Yorkey, with an updated script for this production by Barney Norris and Lorne Campbell. A Rich and Atmospheric Musical Score The score of The Last Ship reflects the culture and landscape of northern England. Sting drew heavily on folk, Celtic and maritime musical traditions, creating a soundtrack that captures the rhythm of working life in a shipbuilding town. The production features several memorable songs including:
• • • •
The Last Ship Island of Souls All This Time When We Dance These songs combine emotional storytelling with sweeping musical arrangements, helping drive the narrative of the community’s struggle and hope. International Success Before Australian Premiere The musical originally premiered in Chicago in 2014 before transferring to Broadway, where it received Tony Award nominations for Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations. Following its Broadway run, the production underwent further development and gained strong audiences in the United Kingdom and Europe, where its themes of industrial change resonated deeply. The Brisbane season marks the first major staging of the musical in Australia. Opening the New Glasshouse Theatre The production will form part of the opening season for QPAC’s Glasshouse Theatre, a new performance venue designed to host major international productions.
The theatre’s design focuses on creating a closer connection between performers and audiences, making it an ideal setting for a character-driven musical like The Last Ship. With 29 performances scheduled, the Brisbane season is expected to attract theatre lovers, music fans and Sting followers from across Australia. A Story That Still Resonates Although the musical is set in a shipbuilding town in England, its themes remain highly relevant worldwide. Communities across the globe have faced similar challenges as traditional industries disappear or change. Through music and storytelling, The Last Ship explores how people respond when their livelihoods, traditions and identities are under threat. The show celebrates the resilience of working communities and the importance of solidarity during times of change. With Sting performing live on stage and a powerful story at its heart, The Last Ship is set to become one of Australia’s most anticipated theatre productions of 2026.

New Toolkit to Help Prevent Delirium in Hospital Patients Trialled in Northern NSW Jeff Gibbs A new partnership between Southern Cross University and Northern NSW Local Health District will see an innovative healthcare toolkit trialled in regional hospitals to help carers and healthcare professionals prevent and identify delirium in older patients. The initiative, known as PREDICT – Prevention & Early Delirium Identification Carer Toolkit, has been developed to support family members, carers and nurses in recognising early signs of delirium and responding quickly to reduce its impact on hospitalised patients. Delirium is a sudden and severe state of confusion that can develop rapidly in people receiving hospital care, particularly those aged over 65. Symptoms can include agitation, disorientation, confusion and changes in behaviour. Because these symptoms closely resemble dementia, delirium is frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked. Unlike dementia, which is a progressive

condition, delirium typically develops over a short period of time and can often be reversed if detected early and managed appropriately. Medical experts say early recognition is essential to improving patient outcomes and reducing complications during hospital stays. The PREDICT toolkit has been co-designed with carers and healthcare professionals to strengthen
collaboration between families and clinical staff. The toolkit provides accessible resources through a range of formats including web-based tools, smartphone access and printed guides. These resources are designed to help carers understand what delirium is, recognise early warning signs and communicate effectively with nursing staff about changes in a patient’s behaviour or condition.
The program will be trialled over the next 12 months with patients aged 65 and over admitted to medical wards and selected surgical wards at Tweed Valley Hospital and Lismore Base Hospital. The project is being led by Professor Christina Aggar from Southern Cross University and is supported by a $1.34 million grant from the National Health and Medical Research Council. The broader research
study will run for three years and involve more than 2,500 patients across hospitals in New South Wales, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory. Researchers aim to determine whether the toolkit can reduce the incidence of delirium, improve early identification and ultimately lower healthcare costs associated with prolonged hospital stays and complications.
Health leaders say the project is particularly important for Northern NSW, where the population is ageing rapidly. Current projections indicate that by 2041, one in four residents in the region will be aged 70 years or older. Medical data also shows that up to 50 per cent of hospitalised patients aged over 65 are at risk of developing delirium, highlighting the need for better prevention strategies and stronger partnerships between healthcare professionals and carers. Earlier pilot research conducted at The Tweed Hospital between 2023 and 2024 showed promising results, with carers reporting improved understanding of delirium and greater confidence in working alongside nurses to detect early changes in patients. Researchers hope the clinical trial will lead to improved patient care, better hospital experiences for families and a model of delirium management that could eventually be adopted more widely across the Australian healthcare system.
Understanding Dementia and Its Stages Dementia is a term used to describe a group of symptoms that affect memory, thinking, behaviour and the ability to carry out everyday activities. It is not a single disease but a syndrome caused by several different conditions that damage brain cells. As brain cells are injured or die, communication between parts of the brain is disrupted, leading to a gradual decline in mental function. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease,
which accounts for around two-thirds of all cases. Other common forms include Vascular dementia, often linked to stroke or cardiovascular disease, Lewy body dementia, and Frontotemporal dementia, which tends to affect personality and behaviour. Dementia mainly affects older people, but it is not considered a normal part of ageing. While memory changes can occur with age, dementia involves a more serious and progressive decline that interferes with daily life. Symptoms of Dementia
Early symptoms often develop gradually and may be difficult to recognise at first. One of the most common signs is memory loss, particularly difficulty remembering recent conversations or events. People may also struggle to find the right words, follow conversations or make decisions. Other symptoms can include confusion about time or location, difficulty performing familiar tasks, poor judgement, and noticeable changes in mood or personality. Some individuals may become
withdrawn, anxious or easily frustrated as they begin to recognise their own cognitive difficulties. The Stages of Dementia Dementia typically progresses through three broad stages, although the speed of progression varies widely between individuals. Early Stage (Mild Dementia) In the early stage, symptoms are generally mild. A person may forget appointments, lose track of dates or misplace everyday items. They usually remain independent but
may need reminders or organisational tools to manage daily activities. Middle Stage (Moderate Dementia) The middle stage is often the longest. Memory loss and confusion become more pronounced, and individuals may have difficulty recognising friends or family members. Communication problems increase, and tasks such as cooking, managing finances or driving may become unsafe. Support from carers becomes increasingly important.
Late Stage (Severe Dementia) In the late stage, dementia significantly affects both mental and physical abilities. People may lose the ability to communicate, walk or eat independently. Full-time care is usually required, and medical complications such as infections can become more common. Although there is currently no cure for most forms of dementia, early diagnosis and appropriate care can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Denza Z9 GT
Northern Rivers Times photo © Jeff Gibbs 2026
Jeff Gibbs Chinese premium electric brand Denza, backed by automotive giant BYD, has revealed astonishing new details about its flagship Denza Z9 GT, a luxury electric grand tourer that could travel more than 1000 kilometres on a single charge. The announcement places the vehicle among the longest-range electric cars currently under development and signals how quickly EV technology is advancing worldwide. Designed as a highperformance luxury wagon, the Z9 GT combines long-distance capability with serious performance credentials, advanced battery technology and cuttingedge driver systems. Extraordinary Electric Range The headline figure attracting global attention is the claimed range exceeding 1000 kilometres on China’s CLTC testing cycle. The Z9 GT will reportedly be offered with two large battery options, allowing buyers to prioritise either outright range or performance. The base long-range model uses a battery around 102kWh, delivering an estimated range of approximately 820–880km
depending on specification. However, the flagship version receives a massive 122kWh battery pack, pushing the claimed driving range beyond 1000km, with figures reportedly reaching over 1030km under official testing. While Chinese CLTC testing typically produces higher numbers than the WLTP or EPA systems used in Europe and the United States, industry analysts still expect the Z9 GT to deliver exceptional real-world range, potentially approaching 700–800km in mixed driving conditions. Tri-Motor Supercar Performance Despite its focus on efficiency and distance, the Denza Z9 GT is far from a slow electric cruiser. Highperformance versions will feature a tri-motor electric drivetrain delivering immense power. Key performance figures include: • Power output: Up to approximately 850kW • Acceleration: 0–100km/ h in around 3.4 seconds • Drivetrain: Tri-motor all-wheel drive • Top speed: Around 230km/h This level of performance places the Z9 GT in the same conversation as highend electric sports sedans
and luxury performance cars. Advanced Electric Platform The Z9 GT is expected to ride on BYD’s latest electric architecture designed to support ultrafast charging capability. The platform is capable of handling extremely high charging speeds, potentially approaching megawatt-level charging in future infrastructure environments. Such charging systems aim to dramatically reduce charging times, allowing drivers to recover hundreds of kilometres of range in minutes rather than hours. Combined with the vehicle’s large battery pack, this technology is designed to make longdistance electric travel significantly easier and more convenient. Luxury Grand Touring Design The Denza Z9 GT is positioned as a premium grand touring electric vehicle, blending sports car styling with wagon practicality. The car measures over five metres in length, giving it a commanding presence and a spacious interior. Its shootingbrake profile combines aerodynamic efficiency with the practicality of a large rear cargo area. Inside, the cabin is

expected to deliver luxury features including: • Large multi-screen infotainment system • Premium leather and soft-touch materials • Advanced driver assistance systems • High-end audio technology • Rear-wheel steering for improved manoeuvrability The interior design emphasises a modern, digital-first layout aimed at competing with luxury EV brands around the world. Hybrid Variant Also Planned In addition to the fully electric Z9 GT, Denza is also developing a plug-in hybrid version using its advanced Super DM hybrid system. This variant combines a turbocharged petrol engine with multiple electric motors to deliver exceptional combined
driving range. When both fuel and battery energy are considered, total driving distance could exceed 1100 kilometres. The hybrid model is designed to appeal to drivers who want electric driving capability while retaining long-distance flexibility without relying entirely on charging infrastructure. Global Expansion Underway Denza, originally a joint venture between BYD and Mercedes-Benz, is now expanding internationally as part of BYD’s aggressive global growth strategy. Right-hand-drive production has already been confirmed for several future markets, raising the possibility that vehicles like the Z9 GT could eventually appear in countries such as Australia.
If it does arrive locally, the Z9 GT would compete in the growing luxury electric segment against established premium EV brands while offering standout range and performance figures. A New Era for Electric Touring With its 1000km-plus range, supercar-level power and next-generation charging technology, the Denza Z9 GT demonstrates how rapidly electric vehicle development is progressing. Luxury EVs are no longer simply about efficiency and sustainability. Vehicles like the Z9 GT prove that electric technology can deliver long-distance capability, high performance and premium comfort in a single package, potentially reshaping expectations for future grand touring cars.

RBA Interest Rate Rise Likely as Middle East War Fuels Inflation Concerns Jeff Gibbs
Australians may soon face another increase in interest rates as economists revise forecasts amid growing global uncertainty linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Economic analysts and major banks are increasingly predicting that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) could raise the official cash rate in the coming months, warning that rising oil prices and inflation risks tied to the war could force the central bank to act sooner than expected. The shift in expectations follows comments from RBA officials highlighting concerns about the economic impact of the conflict and the potential for energy price shocks to push inflation higher. Inflation Pressures Intensify RBA Governor Michele Bullock has warned that the war in the Middle East could create a supply shock that lifts inflation and destabilises economic expectations. Speaking at a recent business conference, Ms Bullock said the central bank is closely monitoring

developments in global energy markets and their potential effect on Australian prices. “A supply shock could add to inflation pressures,” she said, noting that rising inflation expectations remain a key concern for policymakers. Energy markets have already reacted to the conflict, with fears of disruptions to global oil supplies pushing prices higher. Analysts warn that prolonged instability could
translate into higher fuel costs, freight expenses and consumer prices. Economists say this type of shock is particularly problematic because it occurs at a time when inflation is already above the RBA’s target range. Cash Rate Decisions Remain “Live” While the RBA has not formally signalled an immediate rate rise, the central bank has made it clear that all policy meetings remain open to
change. Ms Bullock emphasised that the board is carefully assessing how global developments could affect inflation and economic growth. The RBA is already grappling with several domestic challenges, including a tight labour market, weak productivity growth and stubborn inflation levels. Low productivity, in particular, is limiting the economy’s ability to grow without generating further inflation, according to RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser. He warned that without stronger productivity gains, economic expansion could quickly translate into price pressures. Banks Revise Interest Rate Forecasts Major financial institutions have begun adjusting their forecasts in response to the new economic risks. Several of Australia’s major banks now believe the RBA may increase the cash rate again, potentially as soon as the next policy meeting. Some economists are predicting multiple rate rises in 2026 if inflation fails to ease, particularly
if energy costs continue to rise due to geopolitical tensions. Inflation in Australia remains above the RBA’s preferred 2–3 per cent target range, and any sustained increase in global oil prices could push it higher again. The potential for rising fuel costs to spread across the broader economy — increasing transport, production and logistics expenses — is a major concern for policymakers. Cost-of-Living Impact for Australians A further rate increase would likely place additional pressure on households already struggling with high living costs. Mortgage holders would face higher repayments if the cash rate rises, as banks typically pass increases directly on to borrowers. At the same time, rising petrol prices linked to global oil markets are already adding to everyday expenses for Australian families. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has acknowledged that the economic consequences of the Middle East conflict could have significant impacts on Australia, warning that higher prices
and economic uncertainty may persist if the conflict continues. Global Uncertainty Driving Policy Decisions The conflict has created widespread volatility in global markets, particularly in energy and commodity prices. Around 20 per cent of the world’s oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route that could be disrupted if tensions escalate further. Any prolonged disruption could push oil prices sharply higher, increasing inflation worldwide and forcing central banks to tighten monetary policy. For the RBA, the challenge is balancing the need to control inflation without placing too much strain on economic growth or household finances. Economists say the coming months will be critical, with interest rate decisions likely to depend heavily on how the conflict unfolds and how quickly inflation pressures ease. For now, the message from financial markets is clear — Australians may need to prepare for the possibility of higher borrowing costs ahead.
Regional NSW Gains Momentum as Lifestyle, Jobs and Innovation Jeff Gibbs Regional New South Wales is entering a new phase of economic confidence, with new research showing affordability, lifestyle advantages and evolving employment opportunities are encouraging more Australians to consider life beyond Sydney. The findings come from NGM Group, the customer-owned banking group behind Greater Bank and Newcastle Permanent, through its national What Matters Most research series. The study, conducted by YouGov, highlights growing optimism about regional communities as viable places to build careers, raise families
and establish long-term financial stability. According to the survey, 74 per cent of New South Wales residents say living in a regional area currently feels appealing, while 76 per cent believe regional communities are attracting more highly skilled and professional workers than in the past. The results suggest a significant shift in attitudes toward regional living as economic opportunities outside capital cities expand. Regional communities are already experiencing the effects of this shift. The research found 65 per cent of regional NSW residents say new people have moved into their local community over the past 12 months, demonstrating a steady flow of migration
from metropolitan areas. Flexible work arrangements are playing a key role in this movement. Sixty-five per cent of workers across New South Wales say remote or hybrid work has changed where they could realistically live, allowing professionals to maintain city-based careers while relocating to regional towns and cities. NGM Group Chief Customer and Digital Innovation Officer James Cudmore said the research reflects a broader economic transformation underway across the state. “Across Newcastle, Wollongong and many coastal and inland centres, we’ve seen sustained investment in sectors including healthcare,
education, renewable energy, advanced manufacturing and professional services,” Mr Cudmore said. “This growth has created stronger labour markets in regional areas, meaning people no longer need to choose between career progression and quality of life in the way they once did.” Lifestyle benefits remain a major factor influencing relocation decisions. More than half of survey respondents cited greater access to space and nature (54 per cent) and a slower pace of life with improved work–life balance (53 per cent) as key advantages of regional living. Other important considerations included housing affordability (47 per cent), safety and peace of mind
(37 per cent) and a stronger sense of community and belonging (30 per cent). Regional coastal communities were identified as particularly attractive. When asked where the best lifestyle in New South Wales could be found, 37 per cent of respondents nominated regional coastal areas, compared with 15 per cent who preferred innercity locations and 14 per cent who favoured outer suburban areas. Looking ahead, half of NSW residents surveyed said they would most like to live long-term in a regional coastal community. Mr Cudmore said while hybrid work has accelerated population movement, long-term regional prosperity will depend on sustained
economic investment and industry diversity. “Flexible work has certainly changed the equation, but it is strong industries that ultimately sustain regional communities,” he said. Support for economic innovation remains strong, with 90 per cent of NSW residents saying new industries and technological advancement will be vital to the future success of regional Australia. The research suggests regional New South Wales is increasingly viewed not simply as an alternative to city living, but as a vital contributor to the state’s economic growth and long-term prosperity.

House Price Forecast Signals Possible Market Correction
Jeff Gibbs
Australia’s two largest housing markets could be heading for a modest downturn, with new forecasts suggesting house prices in Sydney and Melbourne may decline in the coming year as affordability pressures and higher borrowing costs reshape buyer behaviour. After several years of strong growth that pushed property values to record levels, analysts now believe the market may be entering a more cautious phase. While a dramatic collapse is not expected, economists say a period of price stabilisation or modest falls is becoming increasingly likely. Rising Costs Begin to Cool Demand One of the biggest factors influencing the outlook is affordability. Property prices in both Sydney and Melbourne have risen sharply over the past decade, leaving many buyers struggling to enter the market. Combined with higher interest rates in recent years, mortgage repayments have increased significantly for new borrowers. This has reduced the number of people able to secure finance and slowed demand for property. As a result, some market forecasters expect price growth to stall and possibly reverse slightly as buyers become more cautious and borrowing limits tighten.

Even small shifts in demand can have noticeable effects in expensive markets such as Sydney and Melbourne, where the median house price already sits well above the national average. Supply Slowly Returning to the Market Another factor influencing the outlook is the gradual increase in housing supply. During the pandemic boom, listings in many areas were extremely low as homeowners held onto properties amid strong demand and rising prices. However, the number of homes coming onto the market has begun to
increase in many suburbs. More listings provide buyers with greater choice, which can reduce the urgency that previously pushed prices higher during intense bidding wars. Developers are also continuing to add new housing stock, particularly apartments in metropolitan areas. While construction costs remain high, new projects still contribute to overall supply in the market. If supply continues to rise while demand softens, price growth could slow further. Migration and
Population Growth Remain Key Supports Despite the more cautious forecast, experts note that Australia’s housing market still has strong underlying support. Population growth remains high, particularly due to overseas migration returning to pre-pandemic levels. New residents arriving in major cities create additional demand for both rental housing and property purchases. Sydney and Melbourne remain the primary destinations for many migrants, meaning longterm housing demand in both cities is likely to remain strong. This population growth could help prevent sharp price declines, even if the market enters a temporary cooling phase. Regional Markets May Perform Differently While Sydney and Melbourne often dominate national property headlines, regional markets across Australia have shown varied trends. In many regional areas, housing demand has been supported by lifestyle changes, remote work opportunities and migration away from capital cities. Areas such as the NSW Northern Rivers region have experienced strong interest in recent years due to coastal living, tourism, and a growing population seeking lifestyle changes. However, like the capital

Cows made up the largest portion of the yarding, with 667 head presented in 259 lots. Prices ranged from 120c/kg to 428.2c/kg, averaging 366.4c/kg. Values per head ranged from $408 to $2836.40, with the average
cow selling for $1854.91. The heifer market remained steady, with 374 head offered across 164 lots. Prices ranged between 110c/kg and 446.2c/ kg, averaging 369.7c/kg. Values ranged from $143 to $2619.19, with an average of $1095.58 per head. Bulls were also well represented, with 51 head across 45 lots selling between 250c/kg and 402.2c/ kg, averaging 377.7c/kg.
These animals returned between $966 and $3900, averaging $2342.54 per head. In the vealer section, 13 vealer bulls across six lots sold from 200c/kg to 480.2c/ kg, averaging 396.8c/kg, with prices ranging from $330 to $1212.51 per head. A small offering of two cows and calves sold for $1225 per unit, returning $2450 for the pair.
Overall, the sale produced a total turnover of $2.38 million, reflecting the continued strength in cattle markets and ongoing demand for well-presented stock. Agents noted that quality lines continue to attract strong competition, particularly from processors seeking finished cattle and feedlots sourcing suitable steers
STRONG DEMAND CONTINUES AT NRLX STORE CATTLE SALE Strong buyer demand continued at the latest Northern Rivers Livestock Exchange (NRLX) Store Cattle Sale, with steers reaching up to 650c/kg and more than 3,800 head yarded for the March 13 sale. Competition remained strong across most categories as restockers and backgrounders actively pursued quality lines of
young cattle. The sale saw a total of 3,877 head offered across 409 lots, generating a combined turnover of more than $5.4 million. Steers were the highlight of the sale, with 2,562 head yarded across 259 lots. Prices ranged from 310c/kg to a top of 650c/kg, averaging 560.9c/ kg. In dollar terms, steers sold from $420 to $2234.43, with an average return of
$1511.14 per head. The steer section alone accounted for nearly 690,000 kilograms of liveweight, returning more than $3.87 million to vendors. Heifers were also well supplied, with 1,315 head offered across 150 lots. Prices ranged from 310c/kg to 482c/kg, averaging 454.2c/ kg. Values ranged between $448 and $1684.17 per head,
with an average of $1173.82. In addition to the weightbased categories, a smaller run of heifers was sold on a per-head basis. 238 head across 22 lots sold from $800 to $2200, averaging $1549.37 per head, generating a total of $368,750. Across the entire sale, cattle prices ranged from 310c/kg to a top of 650c/ kg, averaging 525.7c/kg,
reflecting strong confidence among buyers seeking young cattle for future finishing. Total liveweight yarded exceeded 1.03 million kilograms, with the sale producing a combined value of $5,415,106. Agents noted that wellbred, well-presented lines of steers and heifers continue to attract strong competition as producers seek to rebuild
or expand herds following improved seasonal conditions across parts of the region. The consistent demand at NRLX highlights the continued strength of the northern New South Wales cattle market, with restockers and backgrounders remaining active despite fluctuating seasonal outlooks.
WARWICK LIVESTOCK MARKET HOLDS FIRM AS GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY LOOMS Livestock markets across the Warwick district held largely steady in the week ending March 13, 2026, with agents reporting firm prices despite growing concerns about global fuel supplies and geopolitical tensions. Agents and vendors presented similar numbers across both cattle and sheep markets, as heavy rainfall forecast for the region failed to reach many local producers. As a result, yardings remained relatively stable, with 1,668 head of cattle and 2,667 sheep and lambs offered or sale. hile prices held firm overall, producers are increasingly watching developments in the Middle East closely. Ongoing tensions have raised concerns about fuel availability and costs, a factor that could significantly impact rural operations. For many modern livestock producers, fuel is an essential part of dayto-day work, particularly for vehicles and equipment used in mustering and property management. With the era of largescale mustering on foot or horseback largely gone, rising fuel costs or supply disruptions could add pressure to operating costs across the agricultural
sector. Cattle Market Holds Firm The cattle sale saw 1,668 head yarded, with demand remaining strong from processors seeking to fill forward orders. Overall, the cattle market held firm across most categories. However, lighter stock eased slightly, largely due to variation in quality and finish rather than a drop in demand. Processors were active throughout the sale as they competed for suitable slaughter cattle, keeping price trends relatively steady. Key cattle market results included: • Bulls averaged 396.1c/ kg, topping at 446.2c/ kg, returning $1,934.20 to $4,015.80 • Cows averaged 351.6c/ kg, topping at 412.2c/ kg, returning $1,839.90 to $3,002.76 • Feeder heifers averaged 386.1c/kg, topping at 460.2c/kg, returning $1,226.88 to $1,911.00 • Feeder steers averaged 463.1c/kg, topping at 524.2c/kg, returning $1,700.95 to $2,463.48 • Heifers averaged 404.3c/kg, topping at 440c/ kg, returning $1,879.41 to $2,924.00 • Manufacturing steers averaged 397.2c/kg, topping
at 404.2c/kg, returning $2,797.04 to $3,440.75 • Steers averaged 432c/ kg, topping at 479.2c/ kg, returning $2,234.42 to $3,588.00 • Vealer heifers averaged 389.1c/kg, topping at 550c/ kg, returning $933.14 to $1,430.00 • Vealer steers averaged 456.7c/kg, topping at 528.2c/kg, returning $1,074.60 to $1,544.88 • Yearling heifers averaged 382.3c/kg, topping at 420c/kg, returning $1,015.09 to $1,773.90 • Yearling steers averaged 448c/kg, topping at 513.2c/ kg, returning $1,174.91 to $2,364.00 Across the entire cattle yarding, the 1,668 head averaged $1,568.94 per head. Merino Numbers Lift Mutton Supply The sheep and lamb market re ected a notable increase in Merino numbers, giving the sale a nostalgic feel for many agents and producers. Several vendors commented that the yarding resembled markets of the 1980s, when Merino sheep were far more dominant across the region. The 2,667 head yarding consisted of approximately 60 percent lambs and 40 percent mutton, with stock drawn from a wide range of
districts. Heavy export lambs and well-finished light lambs remained in strong demand, maintaining solid prices throughout the sale. However, the larger supply of Merino sheep placed some downward pressure on mutton values, particularly or unfinished lines. Market indicators included: • Lambs topped at $382, averaging $203.87 (down $11) • Hoggets topped at $250, averaging $181.22 (par) • Ram lambs topped at $260, averaging $202.81 (up $30) • Ewes topped at $236, averaging $145.30 (down $20) • Wethers topped at $214, averaging $160.58 (up $11) • Rams topped at $195, averaging $152.42 (par) Overall, the sheep and lamb yarding averaged $174.28 per head, representing a $21 per head drop week-onweek. Strong Lamb Sales for Key Vendors Several vendors recorded standout results during the sheep and lamb sale. The Murray family from Tara sold A-White lambs weighing 72.5kg to Thomas Foods for $344, while hoggets weighing 65kg made $228 and 60kg lines sold for $222 to Fletchers.
Paul Millard achieved the sale’s top price of $382, selling 72kg Dorset lambs to Fletchers, while his 95kg Suffolk hoggets made 250. Gooroo Grazing sold 56.6kg Dorper lambs to Thomas Foods for $295, while 51.6kg lambs made $260 to Leslie Lamb. Ram lambs weighing 60.3kg sold to restockers for $260 and $228 to Fletchers. Noahs Farms sold 68kg Dorper lambs to Thomas Foods for $280, while 48.8kg lambs made $248 to GR Prime and 43.2kg lines returned $230 to McMahon Bros.

• • • •
Sows: $65 to $270 Baconers: $120 to $298 Pork: $152 to $185 Stores: $50 to $168 Poultry numbers also increased, with consistent demand across most categories.

A total of 2,775 head were yarded for the sale, an increase of 297 head compared with the previous week. The yarding consisted of good quality cattle and attracted the usual group of buyers, while additional
competition from Victorian buyers targeting lighter cattle added further strength to the market. Cows were among the biggest movers of the day, recording noticeably stronger prices as processors competed for suitable stock. In the young cattle section, weaner steers weighing up to 280kg were slightly cheaper, selling from 240c to 543c/ kg, while weaner heifers destined for backgrounding

Farmers Call for Calm as Fuel Supply Concerns Grow
Ian Rogers
The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) has welcomed the opportunity to participate in a ministerial roundtable discussing fuel supply security, stressing the importance of reliable diesel access for Australia’s agricultural sector. NFF President Hamish McIntyre said farmers must remain front of mind as governments consider decisions affecting fuel supply and distribution across the country. The roundtable was convened by Chris Bowen and included federal ministers Julie Collins, Tim Ayres and Catherine King. Mr McIntyre said it was essential that farmers had a seat at the table as

discussions continue about the nation’s fuel supply. “Farmers rely on fuel every day to move food
and fibre from paddocks to plates and ports,” he said. “With the winter
cropping season approaching, demand for diesel naturally rises as farmers prepare paddocks and begin planting crops.” Mr McIntyre warned there were already early signs of tightening supply and increasing costs for critical farm inputs, including fuel and fertiliser. “If farmers cannot access reliable and affordable diesel and fertiliser, some may be forced to scale back their planting programs,” he said. “That would have flow-on effects for farm incomes, national agricultural production and ultimately the availability of food.” Despite the concerns, the NFF is urging calm and measured decision-making during the current period of uncertainty. “Austrian agriculture has proven time and again
that it is resilient when pressure is placed on the system,” Mr McIntyre said. “Now is the time for sensible, considered actions rather than panic.” The organisation also highlighted the broader structural issue facing Australian agriculture — the sector’s heavy reliance on imported fuel and other essential inputs. Mr McIntyre said global disruptions, including conflicts and supply chain pressures, expose Australian farmers to vulnerabilities beyond their control. “This moment underlines the need to better protect Australia’s food and fibre production from global shocks,” he said. The NFF is calling on the Federal Government to examine all available options to strengthen supply chains and improve
national resilience, particularly through the forthcoming national food security plan. The federation also reiterated its support for expanding Australia’s domestic fuel manufacturing capability, including the development of a local biofuels industry. According to the NFF, a strong domestic low-carbon liquid fuels sector could provide new economic opportunities for farming businesses while improving Australia’s sovereign fuel capability. Mr McIntyre said the NFF would continue working closely with government and its members to ensure farmers receive timely information and maintain reliable access to the inputs needed to keep Australia’s food supply moving.

NSW Launches Wild Dog Baiting Program
By Ian Rogers
A statewide wild dog control campaign is now underway across New South Wales, with aerial and ground baiting programs being rolled out to protect livestock, wildlife and farming operations during the autumn breeding season. The Minns Government announced the coordinated control effort as wild dog activity typically increases during autumn, making it a critical time to reduce populations and limit attacks on livestock. The program is designed to support farmers while also protecting native wildlife and rural communities. The campaign forms part of the government’s $1.05 billion biosecurity investment, aimed at strengthening pest and disease management

across the state’s agricultural regions. Since July 2023, more than 1.5 million baits have been distributed across NSW through coordinated wild dog control programs. Nearly half of these baits have been delivered through aerial baiting operations, with aircraft dropping 1080 chemical baits along approximately 40,000 kilometres of
planned baiting lines across regional areas. Autumn and spring baiting programs work together to maximise the effectiveness of pest control. Wild dogs often scavenge more actively during autumn, making baiting more effective, while follow-up control programs in spring target populations after pups are born.

Local Land Services (LLS) plays a key role in coordinating the program, supplying subsidised baits and assisting landholders with training, resources and advice on managing wild dog activity. Landholders participating in the baiting programs must complete Vertebrate Pesticide Induction Training (VPIT) or hold AQF3 chemical

accreditation to ensure the safe handling and use of baits. The VPIT course is offered free through Local Land Services and certification remains valid for five years. Since July 2023, more than 6,000 landholders have completed the training. Local Land Services also supports landholders by coordinating large-scale control programs, lending traps and delivering training workshops to help farmers understand wild dog behaviour and improve control strategies. NSW Agriculture Minister Tara Moriarty said coordinated action across neighbouring properties was essential to reducing wild dog numbers. She said when farmers and neighbouring landholders worked together with Local Land Services, control programs
WEEKS
could deliver far greater impact than isolated efforts on individual properties. Wild dogs are found across many parts of NSW, and under the NSW Biosecurity Act 2015, landholders have a responsibility to manage pest animals on their properties. Local Land Services is encouraging farmers who have not previously taken part in baiting programs to contact their nearest office to learn about upcoming control operations and the options available for their properties. Officials say every reduction in wild dog numbers can help reduce livestock losses, improve animal welfare and support the productivity of farming businesses across regional New South Wales.

COOKING
WHATS ON Maple Bacon Rissoles THE MENU with Sweet Potato Hash TONIGHT? Prep 20m
Cook 15m
Serves 4
Some recipes whisper politely from the cookbook shelf. Others kick the door open wearing a bacon cape and shout, “LET’S COOK!” Maple Bacon Rissoles with Sweet Potato Hash firmly belongs in the second category. Imagine the scene: sizzling bacon, sweet maple syrup doing its sticky dance, and golden sweet potato hash crackling away in the pan like it’s auditioning for MasterChef. This is the sort of meal that smells so good the neighbours suddenly appear at your door holding empty plates and suspiciously friendly smiles. The real hero here is bacon. Bacon doesn’t ask questions. Bacon doesn’t judge your life choices. Bacon simply arrives, makes everything better, and leaves you wondering why you ever bothered with salads. Add maple syrup and suddenly things get a little fancy. Sweet meets salty in a delicious culinary handshake that basically says, “Yes, we are absolutely meant to be together.” Then there’s the sweet potato hash — crispy, colourful, and just healthy enough that you can pretend this entire dish counts as balanced nutrition. Technically it contains vegetables, so that’s basically wellness. Let’s cook.
Ingredients (For the ressoles) • 500 g beef mince • 150 g bacon, finely chopped • 1 small brown onion, finely chopped • 2 cloves garlic, crushed • 1 egg • 60 g fresh breadcrumbs • 2 tablespoons maple syrup • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 1 tablespoon olive oil • Salt and cracked black pepper
Prep 10m When people hear the word lasagne, they usually think pasta, cheese, and an Italian grandmother judging their life choices. But today we’re flipping the script. This Strawberry Vanilla Pudding Dessert Lasagne is the sweet cousin that arrives at the party wearing sunglasses and carrying a bowl of whipped cream. There’s no pasta here — just glorious layers of biscuits, creamy vanilla pudding, fluffy cream, and fresh strawberries stacked together like a dessert skyscraper. It’s cool, creamy, fruity, and ridiculously easy to make. Basically, it’s what happens when a trifle and a cheesecake meet at a summer barbecue and decide to collaborate. The strawberries bring the freshness, the vanilla pudding delivers smooth creamy comfort, and the biscuit layers soak everything up like a sponge made of happiness. It’s the type of dessert that looks fancy enough for guests but secretly takes less effort than finding matching socks in the morning. Best of all, it sits in the fridge getting better with time. Which means you can make it ahead and then casually pretend you’re an organised dessert genius.
For the sweet potato hash • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 600 g), peeled and diced • 1 red capsicum, diced • 1 small red onion, sliced • 2 tablespoons olive oil • Salt and pepper
Method 1. Place the beef mince, chopped bacon, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, maple syrup and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. 2. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined. 3. Shape the mixture into 8 chunky rissoles. Chunky is important. Nobody ever wrote poetry about a skinny rissole. 4. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook rissoles for about 4–5 minutes each side until browned and cooked through. 5. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in another large pan.
6. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to crisp. 7. Toss in the capsicum and red onion and cook for another 5 minutes until everything is golden and smelling incredible. 8. Serve the rissoles on top of the sweet potato hash. Drizzle with a little extra maple syrup if you’re feeling rebellious.
Tips for Success • Don’t overwork the mince mixture or the rissoles can become tough. Treat them gently, like a fragile ego. • Finely chop the bacon so its flavour spreads evenly through the rissoles. • Let the sweet potatoes cook long enough to caramelise slightly — that’s where the magic lives.
Leftover Ideas If you somehow have leftovers (unlikely but admirable), crumble the rissoles into wraps with salad and aioli.
Strawberry Vanilla Pudding Dessert Lasagne
Ingredients 1. Combine crushed biscuits and melted butter and press into the base of a lined dish. Chill for 15 minutes. 2. Whisk milk and vanilla pudding mix together until thick. 3. In a separate bowl whip cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form. 4. Fold half the whipped cream into the pudding mixture. 5. Spread the pudding layer over the biscuit base. 6. Add a layer of sliced strawberries. 7. Spread remaining whipped cream on top. 8. Sprinkle with grated white chocolate and extra strawberries.
9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Tips for Success • Use ripe strawberries for the best flavour. • Allow time to chill so the layers set nicely.
• Add extra strawberries for colour and freshness.
Leftovers If you somehow have leftovers, scoop some into a bowl, add extra berries, and enjoy a completely respectable “midnight dessert research session.”

GARDENING

Perfect Northern Rivers Autumn Veggie Patch Jeff Gibbs Autumn is one of the most productive and enjoyable seasons for gardeners across the Northern Rivers. Northern Rivers autumn gardening is particularly rewarding because the intense summer heat begins to ease while the soil remains warm. These conditions create the ideal environment for establishing a productive vegetable garden that can provide fresh food throughout winter and early spring. For backyard gardeners across the region, autumn marks the perfect time to refresh garden beds, improve soil quality and plant a new range of vegetables suited to cooler conditions. Preparing the Garden Beds The first step in creating a successful autumn veggie patch is preparing the soil. Many gardens across the Northern Rivers become tired after a busy summer growing season, particularly where crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, beans and zucchini have been grown. Removing old plants and clearing weeds allows gardeners to start with a clean garden bed. Healthy plant material can be added to a compost bin,
helping create valuable organic fertiliser for future use. Once beds are cleared, improving the soil is essential. Adding compost, aged manure or organic fertiliser restores nutrients and improves soil structure. Rich soil supports stronger root systems, better moisture retention and healthier plant growth. Raised garden beds are also popular across the Northern Rivers because they improve drainage during periods of heavy rain. Beds around one metre wide make planting, watering and harvesting easier while preventing soil compaction. Choosing the Right Vegetables Autumn is the time to plant vegetables that thrive in cooler temperatures. Many of these crops grow steadily through winter and can produce harvests for several months. Leafy greens are among the most reliable autumn vegetables in the Northern Rivers climate. Lettuce, spinach and silverbeet grow quickly and can be harvested regularly. Asian greens such as bok choy and pak choy are also popular choices and mature rapidly. Root vegetables are another excellent option.
Carrots, beetroot and radishes perform well in loose, well-prepared soil. These crops develop excellent flavour in cooler weather and can be planted every few weeks to maintain a steady harvest. The brassica family forms the backbone of many autumn gardens. Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower all grow well once the extreme heat of summer fades. These vegetables require fertile soil and consistent watering but reward gardeners with excellent winter harvests. Peas are another favourite seasonal crop. Climbing varieties grow well on simple trellises and can produce abundant pods throughout winter. Snow peas and sugar snap peas are particularly popular with home gardeners. Companion Planting and Herbs Many gardeners include herbs within vegetable beds to improve productivity and provide fresh kitchen ingredients. Parsley, coriander, thyme and oregano grow well during autumn. Planting herbs and flowers around vegetables can also attract beneficial insects such as bees and pollinators. These insects help support plant growth and can assist in
controlling pests naturally. The Importance of Mulch Mulching plays a major role in maintaining a healthy autumn vegetable garden. A thick layer of organic mulch such as sugar cane, straw or leaf litter helps retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth. Mulch also protects soil from heavy rainfall, which can occasionally occur in the Northern Rivers during autumn. As organic mulch breaks down, it gradually returns nutrients to the soil. Watering and Ongoing Care Although temperatures cool during autumn, newly planted seedlings still require consistent watering while they establish. Watering early in the morning allows plants to absorb moisture before the day warms. With good soil preparation, suitable crop choices and proper care, Northern Rivers autumn gardening can deliver a steady supply of fresh vegetables throughout winter. For many gardeners across the region, autumn provides some of the most rewarding growing conditions of the year.

Unbeaten premiers march to grand final By Tim Howard
Harwood have followed the textbook for playing semi-final cricket in their Clarence Valley first grade qualifying final match with Lawrence at Harwood Oval. Winning the toss and batting first, Harwood piled on 9-243, using every minute of their batting time and facing 98 overs. While not a massive score, in semi-finals every run over 200 is a blessing with the dual pressures of runs on the board and the size of the occasion mounting on the team batting second. Harwood’s start was shaky with Nathan Williams removing both openers cheaply, but the middle order rose to the occasion. No. 4 Ben McMahon, 54 and first drop Alex Moffitt, 22 wrested the momentum back for the premiers. Then top scorer for the innings Hayden McMahon, 67 and Matt Farrell, 54, took the total past the 200 mark. For Lawrence Jordan Gallagher had the pick of the figures with 3-51. Williams 2-70 from 25 overs could not add to his early breakthroughs and off-spinner Doug Harris took 2-36 from 23 tight overs. Lawrence took a few cheap wickets at the end as the tail tried for

quick runs, but Harwood finished nine-down and did not waste a ball in building its total. The run chase quickly went pear-shaped for Lawrence as Mark Vallette picked up a couple of early wickets, including that of experienced opener Mark Ensbey. Harwood’s attack piled on the pressure and the wickets tumbled accordingly with game almost over as a contest when Corey Lewis took two wickets in two balls as the score reached 5-47.
Nathan Ensbey, 48 and Harris, 41 dug in, but could not get on top of the bowling as the run rate required climbed higher. The dam broke on 115 when Ben McMahon bowled Ensbey. Eight runs later it was all over. Harris was out with the score at 123 and the next three wickets fell without any addition to the score. Ben McMahon topped the bowling with 3-17, brother Hayden had the handy figures of 2-24 from 13.4 overs and Vallette, who made the
early breakthroughs, picked up 2-8 from 11 overs. At Ulmarra Showground a stunning bowling display from Brady Walker, 5-1 has ensured his team will play in this weekend’s preliminary final. After batting first against Tucabia Copmanhurst and struggling to 125 against a brilliant spell of left-arm fast bowling from Tucabia skipper Brad Chard 5-33, Maclean seized a first innings lead of 46. Walker wiped out the

Tucabia tail, having a hand in the last five wickets to fall, catching one and dismissing the other four for the addition of just three runs. Jarrad Moran was the best for Maclean with 31. Veteran Geoff Simmons was next best with 28 and another cub stalwart Craig Moran contributed 21 not out. Tucabia’s lost wickets regularly but at 5-67 they would have given themselves a shot at a first innings win. Until Brady stepped in. In 9.4 overs he reduced Tucabia’s run chase to a rout. The capitulation left Jamie Firth stranded on 28 not out from 90
balls, easily the best contribution to the total of 79. Maclean batted again and after some earlier hiccups, losing both openers for just 12, steadied and reached 7-107. For Tucabia the season is over the finals series is now a contest between three lower river teams.
