By Tim Howard Clarence Valley Deputy Mayor Greg Clancy will challenge for the top job at this month’s mayoral election, setting up a threeway contest between the council’s current mayor, deputy mayor and a former mayor. Cr Clancy has confirmed he will nominate for mayor when councillors elect their leadership at the September 17 council meeting. He is expected to face incumbent Mayor Ray Smith and former mayor Peter Johnstone, who held the position from 2023 to 2024. Cr Andrew Baker, who earlier announced he intended to nominate, has since withdrawn from the contest. Cr Clancy said his experience in government, council and the community had prepared him to step up from deputy mayor. He framed his case around the functions of a mayor set out in the NSW Local Government Act, saying the position required a strong but fair leader who understood government and legislation, communicated effectively and remained calm in difficult situations. “I believe that I have illustrated these traits and have the necessary experience to effectively carry out the role of the Mayor of the Clarence Valley,” he said. “My 11 years as a state public servant, years as a National Parks ranger and 10 years as a Clarence Val-

ley councillor, as well as running my own ecological consultancy, have prepared me for this leadership.” Cr Clancy has served as deputy mayor during the past two council terms and said that experience had given him opportunities to perform many of the duties required of a mayor. He has acted as mayor on three occasions during the current term and represented the mayor at other times during the previous council term. His deputy mayoral responsibilities have also included membership of the general manager’s review panel. Cr Clancy said a mayor needed to be able to remain composed when confronted with difficult situations. He cited addressing an angry crowd outside the council chambers last year as an example of his leadership and, more recently, assisting an injured
driver and directing traffic following an accident at Tyndale. Cr Clancy also pointed to his experience representing council outside the Clarence Valley. He is council’s primary representative on the Northern Regional Planning Panel and chairs the Clarence-Coffs Water Efficiency Working Group. He is also a committee member representing council on the Australian Coastal Councils Association and has previously chaired council’s Biodiversity, Community Climate Change and Coast and Estuary committees. He was also chairman of the Clarence Valley Bushfire Management Committee for a period. Cr Clancy said his years in local and state government had enabled him to develop a network among councillors and State and Federal politicians. While representing the
Cr Smith is seeking another term after winning the position following the 2024 local government election and has based his case for re-election on inclusive leadership, his handling of sometimes difficult council meetings and his representation of the Clarence Valley outside the council chamber. He has also said he will not seek the deputy mayoralty if he loses the mayoral ballot. Cr Johnstone brings his own experience in the chair, having served as mayor from 2023 until the 2024 local government election. The shape of the contest has changed since Cr Baker announced earlier that he would nominate. Cr Baker had made meeting procedure and the conduct of council business central to his reasons for standing, arguing council meetings needed to be more orderly and resolutions more precise. He has since withdrawn his candidacy, leaving Cr Smith, Cr Clancy and Cr Johnstone as the expected contenders. It presents the nine councillors with three candidates who have all occupied senior leadership positions around the council table: the sitting mayor, his deputy and his immediate predecessor. With nine councillors voting, the successful candidate will need to assemble a majority when the council meets on September 17.

Clarence Valley deputy Mayor Greg Clancy has decided to throw his hat in the ring for the position of mayor. The election will be held at the next council meeting on September 17.
mayor during the previous council term he attended a meeting at Lismore City Council called by Page MP Kevin Hogan to discuss flooding and attended by Federal politicians as well as mayors, deputy mayors and general managers. Community representation also formed a significant part of Cr Clancy’s pitch for the position. He pointed to attending and speaking at events ranging from exhibitions at the Grafton Regional Gallery and the Cedar and Steam Art and Photography Exhibition at Glenreagh to Philippine Independence Day and other multicultural events. He has also attended events in smaller communities including Dundurrabin, Tyringham and Ewingar. Cr Clancy said he had attended and mostly chaired council listening tours at Hernani, Jackadgery, Ramornie, Nymboida, Copmanhurst, Wooli, Coutts Crossing and Waterview Heights. He said cooperation within the governing body would be an important part of his approach if elected and the mayor needed to work with other councillors and share responsibilities with the deputy mayor where appropriate. “If elected Mayor, I’ll work with Council and our community to build a more sustainable, compassionate and connected place for everyone,” he said. Cr Clancy’s nomination sets up an intriguing September 17 ballot.
Foster carers across New South Wales have been recognised for providing compassion, stability and belonging to children and young people who cannot safely live with their birth families. MacKillop Family Services marked NSW Foster and Kinship Care Week, held from August 30 to September 5, with a message thanking carers for continuing to show up and make a difference. Although foster care is an important community role, the commitment involved often remains unseen. Carers may welcome children at short notice and support them through uncertainty, separation and major changes. Alongside practical care, they help establish routines, maintain connections and create security.
MacKillop Family Services National Manager of Foster Care Recruitment and Development Jasmine Perry said carers deserved to know their contribution was recognised. “This Foster Care Week, we want to say a heartfelt thank you,” Ms Perry said. “Thank you for opening your hearts, sharing your lives, and creating opportunities for children and young people to feel safe, cared for and connected. “Your dedication makes a lasting difference, and we are grateful for all that you do.” Everyday Care Makes a Difference The effect of foster care is often found in ordinary moments. Shared meals, school preparation, bedtime routines, clean clothes and consistent encouragement can reassure a child experiencing upheaval.
These routines create predictability and help children feel supported. Carers also work with caseworkers, service providers, schools, health professionals and, where appropriate, children’s families to support agreed care plans. The role can be rewarding, but it may also bring emotional and practical challenges. “We see the care foster carers give, the challenges they navigate, and the commitment they bring,” Ms Perry said. “MacKillop is here to walk alongside them with ongoing support because we are part of the same team, working for the best outcome for children.” Community Invited to Give Thanks MacKillop created an online Thank You Wall for
Foster Care Week, allowing community members to recognise carers through messages, photographs, short videos, artwork and other creative contributions. The initiative brought attention to work usually undertaken privately within family homes. MacKillop also held local appreciation activities and encouraged communities to acknowledge carers throughout the year. Victoria will observe Foster Care Week from September 13 to 19. Its 2026 theme, “Open Doors. Open Hearts. Open Opportunities”, highlights the safety, connection and opportunities foster carers can provide. New Carers Encouraged to Enquire MacKillop is encouraging people interested in foster care to learn more. Applicants generally attend information sessions and complete
assessment, background screening and training before approval. Placements vary. Some children require emergency or short-term care, while others need longer-term arrangements. Prospective carers may be single or partnered and come from varied backgrounds. Suitability depends on their circumstances, ability to provide a safe home and capacity to meet a child’s needs. Making an enquiry creates no obligation. It allows people to understand the responsibilities, approval process and available support. MacKillop delivers foster care recruitment, therapeutic and trauma-informed services, residential care, family and disability support, education and youth homelessness programs nationally.

Safe and connected space for women
By Samantha Elley After a career in event management in the corporate world Fiona Kable had a good understanding of what it felt like to be burnt out and overwhelmed. “I had to bring myself into a space where I could resource myself,” she said. “I retrained in the last four to five years as a counsellor and gained a real understanding that there was a lot of loneliness out there. “While I had a strong sisterhood circle, I realised that a lot of women don’t.” Fiona knew that despite women having family and a busy work life, they can often feel very unseen and unheard, leading to loneliness and isolation. “I thought, ‘Well, I am really resourced and have a lot of training’ so I put a call out in Lennox Head for anyone who wanted to meet at the William Street Café at a particular time,” she said.
“This was in July 2024 and one woman turned up, then the next week there were three. “Then I put a lunch on at a different time and after a year the group began to grow so quickly.” From there The Conscious Women Connect (CWC) group had been born.
Fiona set up a Facebook group and put out a call for anyone who would also like to host a CWC group and that is when it really grew. “We currently have nearly 1500 women across the Northern Rivers, supported by 20 volunteer hosts delivering 18 recurring gatherings,” said
Fiona. The groups extend from Murwillumbah to Woodburn and include Lismore, Bangalow, Suffolk Park, Ballina and many others. There is even an online gathering for women who can’t attend in person. “The groups ebb and flow as it is run by volunteer hosts through a volunteer community led model,” said Fiona. “We teach women that we look after ourselves and not to turn up if it is not in alignment with them.” The gatherings involve a wide range of activities from something as simple as a coffee catch up to regular dinners to a nature
mandala gathering or specific interests such as on the topic of menopause where podcasts are shared and discussed. Fiona said women are looking for belonging and to feel psychologically safe. “We’ve done a survey and 79% said they are looking for connection, friendship and support,” she said. “It has been life changing and I’ve witnessed beautiful friendships develop. “Many women are in midlife transitions or they’ve relocated and now they’ve built a social framework. “The biggest feedback
3
we received is that they feel safe. “Women have come and just cried and don’t know why but it is their (exhausted) nervous system which doesn’t have to act or perform.” Looking to the future, Fiona wants to make the growth of CWC sustainable. “We don’t want to grow just for the sake of getting bigger,” she said. “I am developing host training, resources and a framework of what our volunteer leaders need. “I feel I am unpacking backwards working out what I did the last two years to take to councils and funders and how we can roll this out to communities as it has been so positive.” If you would like to know more about Conscious Women Connect, you can visit their website at www.consciouswomenconnect.com, email support @consciouswomenconnect.com or ring Fiona on 0410 274 106.

Joni lives lightly in her very own Eden
By Samantha Elley Joni Teal doesn’t mind being called a hippy, although she feels ‘hillbilly’ is more accurate. “Billies originally came from Northern Ireland,” she laughs. “And they moved to the United States in the Appalachian Mountains.” Her spiritual place and working studio is a bus on the Northern Rivers, surrounded by her gardens, chooks, trees and rescue dog, Jerry. “I had bees but the varroa mite got into them,” she says. Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in the early 1960s, Joni and her family came to Australia when she was only 10 years old. “We settled in Western Australia,” she says. “My mum was a mid-wife. “She did her training the years after the war in 1945 in London and Glasgow.” Joni says, like the show Call the Midwife, her mum would ride around on her bike delivering babies, as women didn’t go to hospital back then to give birth. “We did a year in Perth and my dad got a job as a science teacher,” she says. “Then he got a placement in Busselton, where Australia’s longest jetty is and is now the gateway to the Margaret River.” Joni says she never really settled in Western Australia as it’s a very dry place. “I just didn’t suit the climate there and the colours of the landscape,” she says. “When I was very young, I met this older man who had just been to the Aquarius Festival and bought land at Nimbin. “I was starstruck and so that’s when I started on my, let’s say, alternative path and listening to Neil Young
Joni stands amidst her thriving garden.
and deciding to be self-sufficient and have a goal for the future.” Joni married the man, got in a kombi and travelled over many months before arriving in the Northern Rivers. “We hand-painted (the kombi) yellow with a big sun on one said saying ‘Ra’, and a big blue full moon saying ‘Luna’ on the other door and we had roof racks on it and we put everything we owned in there and we headed north,” she says. “We broke down so many times. “I was happy to get out of the home environment; I just wanted to escape and get away.” Joni feels she had always been hyper-independent. “I would spend my time making cubby houses, hiding and planting seeds,” she says. “I planted my first ever garden when I was about four and they were Virginia Stocks, I remember, and the only place I could find to do it was behind where the rubbish bins were.”
That early love of gardening has since bloomed into the peaceful yet riotous, lush green grounds that she now tends on a daily basis. After raising her children as a single mum and after they left home, Joni went nannying, as she was trained as a childcare worker and she headed for America. “I worked in the States for three months really hard and would have two weeks off and would go somewhere in the world where I’d never been,” she says. “So, I went to Holland and I went to Norway, England, Scotland and all places like that. “I also went to Hungary and Prague and then I went to South Vietnam.” Joni says going to Vietnam changed her life after she went on a farm tour to see how they lived and grew their food. “The way the people lived over there, it was so close to nature,” she says. “They just used every little thing. They couldn’t afford rent so they build little houseboats, floating rafts,
and they’d have a cut in the middle and they’d have a net down there and they’d have fish living there which they’d feed their scraps to and eat them later.” Joni was struck by how happy they were with nothing. “I thought, I could do that,” she says. “It really inspired me, if they can do it, I can do it.” In the olden days when she was living in communes in the seventies, Joni says living off grid was very different to today. “We didn’t have solar in the olden days, we had kerosene lanterns and kerosene stoves, if you were lucky,” she says. “And log wood stoves that you chopped your wood to get your hot water and baking, even in the summer. “It’s so easy with solar.” By this time, after years of renting, Joni knew she wanted to have somewhere permanent where she could grow her own gardens. “I already decided to buy a bus, not a caravan, because buses you can do a lot with,” she says. “I used to come out here (family place) every weekend and when I got a fulltime job (nearby) I thought why not just jump in and move here full time and I did.” Joni started doing some canny buying at the end of financial year sales, including batteries, battery boxes and panels and worked it around in her head how to put it all together for a permanent camping site. “This is solar system Mark II,” she says, pointing to her current set up. “I’ve been here eight years in October.” We go for a walk around her gardens to see how she has established this selfsufficient lifestyle, where
she grows her own food, medicines and decorative plants and flowers. “One thing in Ireland and not mum’s fault, but just the way it was, I grew up hungry,” she says. “That’s why I am food obsessed. “I am always growing food, thinking about food, making food, cleaning up after food or eating food. “There was no eating between meals.” The variety of plants in Joni’s garden is extensive. “Everything I try to grow has got a real purpose,” she says as we wander through different garden beds. “It started off being all bush tucker trees and fruit trees, herbs, medical plants, then I got bees and planted a lot of flowers, and flowers and herbs all go together and pollinate.” There were many mistakes in the first few years where floods would take the trees or plants wouldn’t take to the soil. “I used to have the mindset you can make anything grow anywhere if you try hard enough, that’s why they have shade or greenhouses,” she says. “But now, if they want to grow here, I am happy to have it, I’m not pushing shit up hill and every year different things come and go.” With that in mind, Joni points out the prolific amounts of celeriac that has escaped the bounds of the garden beds, along with her mint lawn, which grows in preference to grass. There are orchids, chia, freesias, pomegranates, begonias, spinach, comfrey and citrus trees. “I just love plants,” Joni says as we wander past pepinos, tea jasmine and a baby peach tree. “I feel that I am a nature spirit and it’s also in my
blood and my mum’s side of the family had big, beautiful gardens. “And my dad has always grown our own veges so spring onions are one of my first memories. “One of my nice memories of my dad is working in the garden.” We continue on, to the sounds of Goldie the rooster cocka-doodle-doodling in the background, to see the garden revealing a persimmon tree, basil, tarragon, chilli and a fruit salad tree with grafted on lemons, tangelos and pomelos. Joni provides information on how to feed the variety of flora that inhabits her growing space, showing a zeal that seems to overcome passionate gardeners. “This is a dwarf mandarin tree, I was given for my 60th birthday,” she says, pointing to another plant. “I had horseradish in there but I don’t know if it’s made it through.” As she highlights another area. There are beds of ginger, bushes of gardenias, trees of kaffir limes and the list goes on, a fraction of what is in Joni’s garden. There is a crazy, unchartered plan to Joni’s garden but it works and the passion and love that she tends to it is catching. She is currently working on different essential oils, made from what she grows, to sell at local outlets with her little studio in the bus, jam-packed with various samples. She picks many of her flowers and shares them with her place of work and where she volunteers at the local neighbourhood centre. Suffice to say, as long as Joni’s garden is thriving, many family and friends will benefit as well.

First look inside Grafton hospital’s new short stay unit By Tim Howard Grafton Base Hospital’s new six-bed Emergency Department Short Stay Unit is already treating patients as work continues towards the hospital’s much larger $283.8 million redevelopment. Clarence MP Richie Williamson visited the new unit this week, meeting Emergency Department staff and getting a firsthand look at a facility designed to keep some patients out of the hospital’s inpatient wards. The unit caters for people expected to require less than 24 hours in hospital for short-term care, observation, investigation or treatment.
Clarence MP Richie Williamson, with from left: with Beau Eichmann, Enrolled Nurse, Dr Will Davies, Emergency Department director, Brianan Jones, Acting Nurse Unit manager 3, Jaimee Gray, Registered Nurse and Billy Sampson, RN.
That can include patients requiring minor procedures, rehydration or observation while doctors determine whether they are well enough to return home or need to be admit-
ted to hospital. The aim is to allow those patients to receive the care they need without occupying an Emergency Department bed for longer than necessary or being
admitted to a ward when that is not required. Mr Williamson inspected the unit with Emergency Department director Dr Will Davies, acting nurse unit manager Brianan Jones, enrolled nurse Beau Eichmann and registered nurses Jaimee Gray and Billy Sampson. “This is a really positive addition to Grafton Base Hospital and it was great to have the opportunity to see the new unit for myself,” Mr Williamson said. “The six-bed facility will help patients who need short-term treatment get the care they need without necessarily requiring a traditional inpatient admission.
“It should also help reduce the amount of time people spend in the Emergency Department and improve patient flow across the hospital.” While the six-bed unit is operating now, it is also a precursor to a larger permanent Short Stay Unit planned as part of the Grafton Base Hospital redevelopment. The new acute services building will include a nine-bed Emergency Department Short Stay Unit as well as an expanded Emergency Department, new medical imaging and MRI services, a new inpatient unit and an expanded operating suite. The redevelopment will also include a purpose-
built maternity unit after an additional $20 million was allocated to the project in this year’s NSW Budget, taking its total value to $283.8 million. Mr Williamson said the new unit offered the community an early indication of the changes planned for the hospital. “This is just one part of a much bigger transformation of Grafton Base Hospital,” he said. “For the Clarence Valley, this is a major investment in the future of health care, and importantly, it will provide modern facilities for both patients and the dedicated staff who work at Grafton Base Hospital.”
Clarence Valley leads NSW with first Green Seats By Tim Howard The Clarence Valley is leading the way in recognising missing people and the families left behind, with Australia’s Green Seat Project installing its first
two NSW seats in Grafton and Yamba. Founder of The Missing Matter – The Green Seat Project Inc, Sally Leydon, praised Clarence Valley Council for backing the initiative after community
members took their campaign to councillors earlier this year. “On behalf of The Green Seat Project Inc., I would like to thank the Clarence Valley Council for recognising that the missing do

matter and thus granting the Clarence Valley community two green seats in both Yamba and Grafton,” Ms Leydon said. “The first for the Green Seat Project in NSW – Clarence Valley Council are leading the way, providing a place to reflect; a place people can go to remember the missing when they have nowhere to go. “A place where people can learn more about the missing whilst providing a place for hope – because The Missing Matter.” The distinctive green seats have now been installed at Corcoran Park in Grafton and Turners Beach in Yamba following council support for the project earlier this year. Each carries the words “THE MISSING MATTER” and is intended to
provide both a place of remembrance and a way of raising awareness about long-term missing persons. QR codes on the seats link visitors to information about missing-person cases and support services for affected families. The issue has particular resonance in the Clarence Valley, where there are 24 missing-person and unresolved cold cases, some dating back more than a century, which remain under investigation. Clarence Valley Council general manager Laura Black said personal accounts presented to council had been important in bringing the project to the region. “I’m so pleased to see the seats installed at Corcoran Park and Turners Beach in honour of those who have
sadly gone missing in our beautiful area,” Ms Black said. “These green seats provide a place for reflection, remembrance and hope.” She said councillors had heard several deputations from people describing their lived experience and the effect a disappearance could have on families and friends. “These firsthand accounts have played an important role in raising awareness and supporting the introduction of this initiative in the Clarence Valley,” she said. The seats will be officially unveiled at Corcoran Park, Grafton, on Sunday at 1pm and at Turners Beach, Yamba, on Monday at 10am.

Two more school doors officially opened after 2022 flood
Two more schools have had their official opening after being rebuilt floodresilient from the 2022 Northern Rivers floods. Tumbulgum and Condong public schools saw Minister for Recovery and Minister for the North Coast Janelle Saffin join students, staff, and the wider community for the celebrations, formally opening the schools that local students and teachers have been enjoying since moving into their new facilities. Both schools have been built back better with elevated buildings raised approximately three metres above the ground, providing greater resilience to future flooding events. Across the two schools, the projects have each delivered new classrooms, a library, canteen,
administration spaces, upgraded outdoor areas and external landscaping. Important heritage elements of the former school sites have been retained and restored within the new buildings, preserving their history and connection to the local community. This includes the
Great War Honour Roll, painted murals and commemorative plaques at Condong Public School, and the historic school bell at Tumbulgum Public School. Consultation with the NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group has helped ensure both schools are connected to country and reflect
the Aboriginal cultural heritage of the Bundjalung people. Eighteen flood-damaged schools have been rebuilt or repaired in the Northern Rivers since 2022 and work is also underway to rebuild Lismore South Public School and the Rivers Secondary College Richmond River High Campus.
Funding to rebuild nine extensively damaged schools has been provided through the Infrastructure Betterment Fund, which is jointly funded by the NSW and Commonwealth governments through disaster recovery funding arrangements. Minister for Recovery and Minister for the North Coast Janelle Saffin said she knew the reopening of Tumbulgum and Condong schools meant a lot to their communities. “We love our local schools in our village areas, they really are the heart and soul,” she said. “I thank the principal, teachers, staff and P&C – everyone who has made this possible.” Condong Public School principal Katherine Kolarik said the new
school brought a fresh vitality to the their every day lives. “We are happy to call this new school our home,” she said. “Students and staff have settled in beautifully, which means our dedicated teachers can focus on what matters most: teaching and guiding our students. “I am proud of the strength and resilience of this community, and so grateful for all the hard work that has gone into building our new school.” Tumbulgum Public School principal Genevieve Esgate said it meant so much for the students, teachers and local families to have a school that has been built to stand strong against whatever challenges the future might bring.

Looking for a home base after the flood
By Samantha Elley Aiden Gentle is hopeful that a callout for land will help the LGBTQIA+ organisation Queer Family find their first permanent home since the 2022 floods destroyed their clubhouse. Aiden is the managing director of the organisation that started in 2019. “We started it during Mental Health month seven years,” said Aiden. “I was doing pro bono work for another local organisation called Shedders and we created an event called Rainbow Shedders. “It was at that event I interviewed everybody, which was 53 people, nine children and three dogs and the clear message came out that there were lots of queer people and allies facing isolation and loneliness. “So we started Queer Family with the initial intention of a monthly social for people to connect.” Aiden said Queer Family has grown into ‘a beast’

where pot luck dinners, bushwalks and picnics turned into large scale story telling nights that would often have 250 people in the audience. “We also started a group for young queer people and a group called Sprouts for 8-12 year olds as there was nothing in the region,” said Aiden. “We still have lots of art workshops, adult programs and courses in relation with the Byron Community College.” With the destruction of their homebase, Queer Family has been homeless but the opportunity now comes
at a critical time, with the NSW Reconstruction Authority's Homes Reuse Program currently accepting Expressions of Interest to relocate and reuse buyback homes and pods for community purposes. Expressions of Interest close on 19 October 2026. Queer Family has been working closely with the Reconstruction Authority and has received confirmation that a dwelling entitlement is not required for the proposed community facility use. This means the organisation is not restricted to conventional residential land.
So now, Aiden said they are looking for someone who will be willing to donate land to Queer Family that they could call a permanent home. “We would work with the land owner,” said Aiden. “If they have, for example, 50 acres and want to carve off a piece of land for us, we would cover the cost to help with the subdivision process. “Being a community organisation, the process is different to a residential one. “It does, however, need to be flood-free and in the Byron Shire but doesn’t
need to be in the middle of town.” Some minimally flood impacted land may also be suitable for a raised building(s). If those wanting to help aren’t able to donate land, Aiden said the organisation could certainly accept cash donations to help with establishing their forever home. Queer Family have DGR1 status, which means donations are tax deductible and that doesn’t just mean cash. Land and other gifts are also included. For a landowner, that means there may be a significant tax benefit to getting involved, in addition to helping create a lasting community asset. The organisation is open to a range of arrangements, including: • land donation; • long-term peppercorn or concessional lease; • rent-to-buy; • joint venture or development partnership; • philanthropic investment; or • another arrangement
providing genuine longterm security. Different parcels of land could support different models, and Queer Family is encouraging landowners to get in touch even if they are unsure whether their land could work. Since its establishment, Queer Family has directly engaged and supported thousands of people, including children, young people, and families, with people travelling from across the Northern Rivers to participate. “We're not simply asking someone to donate a block of land,” said Aiden. “We're looking for a partner who wants to help create something lasting for the Northern Rivers. “A place where people can connect, where young people can feel safe and belong, where families can find support, and where our community can put down roots. “If you have land, an idea or a partnership opportunity, we want to hear from you.” You can contact Aiden on team@queerfamily. com.au.
Another Lismore school to reopen soon
With the completion of Lismore South Public School and Ngulliboo Jarjums Public Preschool by the end of the year, it will be another world class, flood-resilient school for the Northern Rivers community. The school’s elevated building modules have now been installed, which includes the dedicated preschool classrooms and school hall, and crews are finalising construction and
landscaping.
Like so many others in the area, the school was extensively damaged during the 2022 Northern Rivers floods. The new flood-resilient public school will include 13 modern classrooms, a library, a multipurpose hall, and outdoor learning areas, along with dedicated indoor and outdoor classrooms for the Lismore South Ngulliboo Jarjums Public Preschool.

The elevated floodresilient building modules have been designed to withstand extreme weather, safeguarding the school’s future and minimising potential disruption from any future floods. To fast-track the rebuild,
the Minister for Recovery, Janelle Saffin, exercised enhanced planning powers under the NSW Reconstruction Authority Act. Eighteen flood-damaged schools have now been rebuilt or repaired in the Northern
Rivers since 2022, including Tumbulgum Public School and Condong Public School with work underway at the Rivers Secondary College Richmond River High Campus. Funding to rebuild nine extensively damaged
schools, including Lismore South Public School, has been provided through the Infrastructure Betterment Fund, which is jointly funded by the NSW and Commonwealth governments through disaster recovery funding arrangements.

Neighbour calls for residents’ say on Townsend Collective
By Tim Howard
A long-term Townsend resident whose family once owned the land earmarked for the Townsend Collective has called for a dedicated meeting with neighbouring residents before the proposed community precinct progresses. Priscilla Hannah said people living closest to the council-owned site had not been adequately involved as plans developed and changed. “The words ‘community’ and ‘collective’ don’t reflect what we see and feel,” she said. “A community needs a say in a community collective.” Ms Hannah has lived in the area for about 35 years, apart from several years away while studying, and was raised across the road from the site in Jubilee Street. She now lives in the house her grandparents built in the 1970s. She is the third generation of her family to live there and her children are the fourth. Her great-grandfather once owned the larger block bounded by Cypress Street, Jubilee Street, Ironbark Drive and Pine Avenue, with the original homestead located near the
present Men’s Shed. Council acquired the land proposed for the Collective in 2005. Ms Hannah said her family history gave her a close connection to the land, but her immediate concerns involved the planning process and the effects the development could have on adjoining homes. The proposed car park off Jubilee Street and a community building would be close to her boundary. She is concerned about privacy, security, drainage, traffic, lighting and the management of the site once the proposed facilities begin operating. The concept plan did not appear to show a vegetation screen or other barrier between the development and neighbouring Cypress Street properties. Ms Hannah said residents first learned of the proposal towards the end of 2023 when they received a brochure showing the draft master plan. She said the printed plan was too blurred to read properly and gave the impression the project was already well advanced before the people most directly affected knew about it. Council publicly exhibited the draft master
plan in October 2023 and formally endorsed it in June 2024. Ms Hannah said another brochure arrived in 2026 inviting residents to the Townsend Collective community launch, but she left the event without the information she wanted. “That’s when my emailing really started,” she said. “I wanted answers and I wanted to provide those answers to some of our neighbours who were also unimpressed with the communication from council.” Council’s August report said project staff had visited adjoining properties and Townsend businesses in June 2026 to distribute information and publicise the July launch. Ms Hannah disputed the description of that contact as a doorknock. “A doorknock? No. A council man dropping new brochures in the mail, yes,” she said. After receiving the brochure, Ms Hannah contacted council and requested a meeting. A project manager subsequently met her and her partner at their property, where they walked through the site and discussed drainage, security and privacy.
Ms Hannah acknowledged the officer provided some answers and listened to their concerns. Council’s August report also acknowledged adjoining landholders had raised concerns about privacy, security, boundary fencing, landscaping and drainage. It said those matters would be considered during detailed design, with further direct engagement to occur as the project progressed. However, detailed design is now paused while council obtains independent legal advice about the project’s arrangements with participating organisations. Councillors have resolved that no broader work or expenditure can proceed without another council decision, although completion of the Pine Avenue car park, footpath and drainage works has been authorised. Ms Hannah said those works had not affected her property to date. Her concern about future drainage arose from earlier upgrades to Jubilee Street, where an open stormwater drain was replaced with kerb and guttering and the road profile changed. She believes those works altered the movement of water and caused her yard to remain waterlogged for longer. “This is why we were so concerned about drainage when we saw what was happening in the proposed site,” she said. Ms Hannah also wants more information about how the proposed facilities would operate. She fears a large car park close to neighbouring homes could become an informal gathering place after hours and potentially attract hooning or antisocial behaviour. She said residents had not been adequately consulted about operating hours, noise, lighting, traffic,
security, cleaning and grounds maintenance, or who would enforce any conditions imposed on the development. Her concerns are about potential impacts rather than problems already caused by existing site users. Ms Hannah said the current Men’s Shed and Lions Return and Earn operations caused neighbours little disturbance. “We don’t know they’re there,” she said. “Sometimes we hear a truck swapping the shipping containers if it’s late, but everyone has a job to do. A truck driver would be the last person I would complain about.” She praised the work of Lions and other community organisations and said she did not oppose community facilities where a need had been demonstrated. But she questioned whether the current proposal was the best use of council resources and whether the authority could maintain the precinct properly once it was built. Ms Hannah said the existing Townsend park appeared unfinished and believed completing its proposed nature walk or adding facilities such as a skate park could provide a more immediate benefit. She also believed buildings could be moved towards the industrialestate side of the Collective site and a vegetation screen established along the boundary with Cypress Street. However, she acknowledged that option could require the removal of established trees elsewhere on the land. Vegetation and wildlife remain among her most important concerns. Ms Hannah said the site provided one of the area’s remaining quiet spaces for animals as surrounding development continued to reduce habitat.
Deputy Mayor Greg Clancy, an ecologist, has separately raised concerns about vegetation he believes forms part of an endangered ecological community and the potential impact of a proposed Connect You Too building shown in the updated concept. The June 2026 concept differs from the master plan endorsed in 2024 and has not been separately approved by councillors as a replacement. Cr Clancy has said any changes should have returned to council for a resolution and been discussed with the local and broader community. Ms Hannah said many Cypress Street residents were elderly and could easily miss information predominantly published on council websites or social media. She wants council to hold a meeting specifically for adjoining residents and other community members who are not participants in the Collective but will be affected by it. “I’m hoping that we do see a residents-only meeting to address the concerns of the people directly affected by this proposed site,” she said. “You could call it council doing its due diligence. I think that really needs to happen. “They need a safe space to be heard.” Ms Hannah said she was not opposed to helping young people or developing worthwhile community infrastructure. She believed the Lower Clarence needed more dependable youth facilities, sporting grounds and public amenities, but wanted evidence that the Townsend proposal would deliver lasting benefits and could be properly maintained. “My main concern is what we’re leaving behind for our kids,” she said.

Hogan Urges Coles to Reverse Local Produce Decision
13
North Coast representatives and growers are calling on Coles to retain its direct supply arrangement for locally grown bananas, cucumbers and pumpkins. By Robert Heyward Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan has called on Coles to reconsider its decision to end a longstanding arrangement for locally grown bananas and other fresh produce to be supplied directly to Coffs Coast supermarkets. The change affects produce supplied through local wholesaler Golden Dawn, including bananas, cucumbers and Kent and butternut pumpkins grown across the Coffs Harbour district. Under the decision, which is expected to take effect in October 2026, bananas sold in affected Coles stores will largely be supplied from North Queensland rather than nearby farms. Mr Hogan said the change was unacceptable when the same produce was being grown within the region. “Our farmers work hard, employ locals and produce some of the best food in Australia,” Mr Hogan said. “This decision is wrong. We should be backing our local farmers and buying Australian produce grown right here in our region. “Coles needs to reconsider this decision and back the communities that support their stores.” Growers face loss of major customer Local farmers previously supplied produce directly to Coles supermarkets through their commercial arrangement with Golden Dawn. Coles advised the wholesaler of its final decision in October 2025 and provided a 12-month transition period. The supermarket said it had first discussed the proposed changes with
Golden Dawn in August 2024. Growers argue that losing access to a major supermarket customer will create uncertainty for local farming families and could force more produce into wholesale markets elsewhere. Selling through metropolitan markets can expose growers to additional transport and handling costs while producing less predictable returns. NSW Farmers spokesperson and local banana grower Paul Shoker told ABC News that up to 40 farming families could be affected. Coffs Harbour and District Banana Growers Association secretarytreasurer Mick Gentle questioned the logic of transporting bananas about 1,600 kilometres from North Queensland when fruit is grown only kilometres from local supermarkets.
He said the decision could place further pressure on the long-term sustainability of the Coffs Coast banana industry. The region’s farmers are already managing rising input costs, difficult seasonal conditions and the commercial pressures faced by smaller agricultural businesses. Coles points to supplychain changes Coles has described the decision as part of a wider change to its fresh produce supply model rather than a criticism of local growers or the quality of their produce. “We regularly review our supply chain to ensure we are delivering the best value, quality and availability for our customers,” a Coles spokesperson said. The company said it was moving away from direct-to-store produce arrangements towards a more consistent operating model across its supermarket network.
Coles acknowledged that the change would affect some existing supplier arrangements and said the decision had not been made lightly. The supermarket also stressed that it would continue to source all its bananas from Australian growers. Therefore, the dispute is not about replacing Australian bananas with imports. Instead, it concerns which Australian growing regions and supply arrangements will provide fruit to Coffs Coast stores. Coles also maintains other substantial relationships with growers in the region. The company says it sources more than 20,000 tonnes of blueberries each year from about 100 Coffs Coast farms, representing approximately 70 per cent of its national blueberry volume. Farmers seek alternative buyers Affected growers
are now considering alternative markets for produce that would otherwise have been supplied to Coles. Woolworths has reportedly agreed to purchase some of the excess supply, while individual growers are exploring wholesale, retail and farmgate sales. However, farmers say finding new buyers for the full volume previously supplied through Golden Dawn may be difficult. The loss of a large supermarket customer can have consequences beyond individual farms. Growers employ local workers and purchase machinery, packaging, transport and professional services from other regional businesses. A community petition has been launched urging Coles to reverse the decision and restore its direct purchasing relationship with North Coast farmers. The petition specifically identifies Coles stores at
Coffs Harbour, Moonee and Toormina and calls for locally grown bananas, cucumbers and pumpkins to remain available through those outlets. Mr Hogan has joined Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh and local farming representatives in calling for the supermarket to reconsider. Mr Singh said locally grown produce should continue to be supplied to consumers on the Coffs Coast. Growers have also sought an urgent meeting with Coles and state and federal representatives to discuss the reasons for the change and possible alternatives. For now, Coles has defended the move as part of its broader supply-chain strategy. Local farmers and their supporters, however, maintain that a streamlined national system should not come at the expense of viable regional producers and locally supplied food.

Before we knew how it ended
By Tim Howard In the Australian summer of 1924-25 it was bats, balls and bails, packed grandstands and another great Ashes contest. England captain Arthur Gilligan seemed an ideal sporting ambassador. Cambridge educated, a decorated soldier and committed imperialist, he was welcomed at receptions, made speeches and mixed easily with prominent Australians. He was also a thoroughly good sport. That was not always intended as a compliment. England lost the series 4-1 and Gilligan was criticised for being insufficiently ruthless. Frank Woolley later believed England might have won the extraordinary Adelaide Test under a “sterner captain”. In a tour match against Victoria, Gilligan reportedly preferred defeat to defensive tactics and time-wasting. Australians loved him. Behind the scenes, however, Australian intelligence had been warned there was something else Australians should know about their distinguished visitor. Arthur Gilligan was a fascist. More precisely, Gilligan and MCC tour manager Frederick Toone were members of the British Fascists, a movement inspired by Benito Mussolini’s Fascists in Italy. Australian investigators subsequently discovered British Fascist recruiting forms and propaganda printed in London appearing in Sydney, with British contact details replaced by an Australian post office box. Historian Andrew Moore later found strong circumstantial evidence Gilligan and Toone brought British Fascist material to Australia and helped stimulate the movement here. That did not make the Ashes tour a fascist recruiting mission, or the Australians who welcomed Gilligan fascists. But consider the opportunity. A political agitator arriving with fascist pamphlets might have attracted suspicion. The captain of England attracted invitations. Respectability opened

doors politics might have left closed. Authoritarian politics did not disappear from Australia when Gilligan sailed home. Within seven years the New Guard, a right-wing paramilitary movement claiming tens of thousands of members, had become a significant force in NSW. Its most famous moment is almost Australian folklore. At the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, New Guard member Francis de Groot rode forward on horseback and slashed the ceremonial ribbon with his sword before Labor premier Jack Lang could cut it. De Groot declared the bridge open in the name of “decent citizens”. The people of NSW had elected Lang. De Groot’s movement claimed a different legitimacy — that of the decent, patriotic people whose interests it believed the elected government no longer represented. A century after that Ashes tour, Australians were again gathering beneath national flags. March for Australia demonstrations in 2025 attracted thousands concerned about immigration, housing, government policy and the direction of the country. Many had conventional motivations. Questions arose about neo-Nazi involvement. Organisers rejected suggestions the
demonstrations were being run by the National Socialist Network, and early investigation found no evidence the NSN had organised them. But subsequent reporting revealed neo-Nazis had recognised the gatherings as an opportunity. Some attended in ordinary clothes, seeking to blend into the crowd, make

contacts and identify people receptive to more extreme politics. Many participants were unhappy about their presence. Some organisers rejected them. But the neo-Nazis didn’t need thousands of recruits. They needed to find the ones who stayed for the conversation. A century apart, extremist politics had found useful terrain inside something much larger and more respectable than itself. Gilligan’s enthusiasm for fascism is easy to misunderstand from a century’s distance. After returning to Britain he wrote an article for the
But Gilligan did not know what we know. Fascism had not yet become inseparable from Hitler, world war, concentration camps and the Holocaust. His conception of fascism seems to have been closer to the Boy Scouts than the Gestapo: discipline, patriotism, duty, teamwork and national purpose. The problem was that fascism itself was already considerably less benign. Mussolini’s Blackshirts had used political violence. Socialist politician Giacomo Matteotti had been murdered after denouncing Fascist violence and electoral corruption.
Italian democracy was being dismantled. Gilligan could not have foreseen Auschwitz. But he could see Italy. Why didn’t what was already happening trouble him more? Fascism did not have to be benign to appear benign. People could concentrate on things they admired while treating disturbing evidence as exaggerated, exceptional or temporary. The violence was the work of overzealous followers. Extraordinary circumstances required strong measures. Institutions would restrain the leader. Or he didn’t really mean what he said. Or maybe not. Hitler had made his intentions difficult to misunderstand. After his failed 1923 putsch he adopted a strategy of seeking power through legal means. In court in 1930 he insisted the Nazis would pursue power constitutionally, but made the crucial distinction that the constitution prescribed the means of gaining power, not what they would do with it. Once they had constitutional power, they intended to remake the state. Traditional conservatives later believed Hitler could be brought into government and controlled. They thought Hitler could be their tool. Instead they became his doorway. None of this means every
modern populist is another Hitler. It suggests something simpler: that maybe political leaders sometimes mean what they say. Donald Trump campaigned in 2024 promising sweeping tariffs and a massive immigration crackdown. Both could be dismissed as campaign theatre or ambitions that markets, courts and administrative reality would moderate. Trump returned to office and tried to do what he said. The tariffs came, as did the immigration crackdown. Taking a politician seriously does not require believing they will succeed. It means accepting they may genuinely attempt what they promise. Trump’s former chief of staff, retired Marine general John Kelly, has also said Trump remarked that Hitler “did some good things” and complained that he wanted the kind of generals Hitler had — generals he apparently imagined as personally loyal to their leader. Trump denied making those remarks. Kelly said he had to explain something fundamental: American military officers swear allegiance to the Constitution, not the president. A century after Gilligan imagined fascism as a cricket team united behind its captain, we arrive at much the same question. Who does the team serve, the captain or the rules governing the game? There is another difficulty with movements claiming to represent “the people”. Who are the people? Make America Great Again assumes there was a better America to which the country can return. But restorative politics raises obvious questions: What happened to the greatness? And who took it away? European fascism answered relentlessly by identifying people supposedly responsible for national decline. Modern populist movements might be a notch down in in vehemence, but they’re heading the same way in finding the groups to distrust — immigrants, minorities, academics, journalists, judges, public servants, trade unionists, protesters or the vaguely
thenorthernriverstimes.com.au defined “elite”. It’s not something populists encourage, but tally the “problem groups” and something becomes visible. Eventually the people we are encouraged to distrust start to look remarkably like the population itself. Most of us are “the people”, including the people who disagree. Gilligan was making his case for fascism in 1925. A century later we are still arguing about strong leaders, national decline, internal enemies, troublesome institutions and whether politicians mean the alarming things they say. The argument, unfortunately, is 101 not out. Perhaps Arthur Gilligan did understand something about cricket after all. A successful cricket team does require individuals to subordinate some immediate interests to the needs of the side. A batter who is seeing the ball beautifully may depend on a partner whose contribution is simply to stay there, turn over the strike and ensure wickets do not keep falling. A bowler who takes five wickets may owe some of them to the bowler at the other end, who has conceded almost nothing, built pressure and tempted the batter into taking a risk. The scorebook records individual achievement. It doesn’t always record everything that made the achievement possible. That is teamwork. Gilligan’s mistake was believing it was fascism. Cricket manages something considerably more complicated. It combines individual achievement with collective responsibility without requiring either to disappear. Players remain individuals with different skills, personalities and ambitions. Some become stars. Others perform less glamorous tasks that make those performances possible. The captain coordinates them but does not own them. And the captain isn’t sovereign. The Laws constrain him. The umpire can tell him
he is wrong. He cannot declare an opposing batter out, change the rules because he is losing or demand an official place loyalty to him above loyalty to the game. Perhaps there is a better political philosophy in cricket than Gilligan realised. Democracy also requires collective action. People pay taxes, obey laws, accept obligations and sometimes subordinate immediate interests to those of people they may never meet. But democracy does not require them to become the same. Its achievement is making cooperation possible between people who remain stubbornly different. Its inefficiencies are often its protections. Judges sometimes say no. Journalists ask irritating questions. Oppositions obstruct. Minorities demand rights the majority may find inconvenient. People protest. Democracy is frustrating because other people get a say. That is not a design fault. It is the design. A century ago Gilligan looked at cricket and believed he saw the virtues of fascism. He had it backwards. Cricket already understood something fascism could not. The captain is not the team, individual brilliance is not disloyalty and the less celebrated player can make somebody else’s century possible. Vitally, the umpire can tell the captain he is wrong because the rules apply even when they are inconvenient. Sports lovers know that however fiercely you contest the result, your opponent remains an adversary rather than an enemy whose existence threatens the game. The opposition has to be allowed to bat. Gilligan could not know everything that would happen after the Australian summer of 1924-25. We do. The danger is remembering fascism only by how it ended, and forgetting how ordinary some of its beginnings could appear.

Beyond the BBQ Brings Northern Rivers Dads Together
By Jeff Gibbs
A free Lismore community event will bring dads and families together for an afternoon of food, discussion, parenting support, music and children's activities. Northern Rivers dads and families are being invited to go “Beyond the BBQ” at a free community event focused on building caring, connected relationships with children and families. Hosted by the Men & Family Centre, Beyond the BBQ: Caring and Connected Dads will be held at The Quad and Lismore Regional Gallery on Saturday, September 19, from 1pm to 3.30pm. Men & Family Centre
President Stewart Prins said parenting could bring complex challenges, particularly when fathers had limited support or opportunities to discuss their experiences. “No-one gets taught parenting strategies at school, but when you become a parent you’re suddenly expected to know what to do and how to manage every situation,” Mr Prins said. He said cultural expectations and the influence of the so-called “manosphere” could place additional pressure on families, making access to information, support and community networks particularly important. The afternoon will begin with a community BBQ at
The Quad at 1pm, before the formal program starts at 1.30pm. At 1.45pm, Drew Hangar from Jesuit Social Services will present research findings based on interviews with 1,401 young people. A panel discussion on dads and parenting will follow at 2pm, featuring Kaiden Powell from Changing the Odds, Penn Molloy from the Men & Family Centre, Dave Kerley and Lisa McPhie, hosted by Mick O’Regan. At 2.45pm, Mitch King from Interrelate will lead a rhythm workshop, while FitnessKidz will provide activities for children. Families will also have plenty happening nearby,
with the Koori Knockout taking place across the road at Oakes Oval. Mr Prins said the event would give fathers an opportunity to talk about the pressures facing modern dads, learn about local support and build connections with other families. Beyond the BBQ is free, but registration is available online. Register for Beyond the BBQ
Carers Call for Urgent Respite Review By Jeff Gibbs Dementia Australia and Carers Australia are calling for an urgent independent national review of respite care, warning that difficulties accessing essential support are placing unpaid carers and their families under increasing pressure. The organisations want Federal Government leadership and investment to examine the availability, quality, suitability and affordability of Commonwealthfunded respite services, particularly for people living with dementia. Their joint position statement highlights findings from the 2025 Carer Wellbeing Survey showing substantial barriers to accessing care. Among carers who had used or tried to use respite, around six in 10 reported difficulty finding highquality support. Nearly 60 per cent struggled to find available services locally, while more than half reported affordability difficulties and long waiting times. For families managing ongoing caring responsibilities, those barriers can mean missing opportunities to rest,
maintain friendships or attend to their own needs. Dementia Australia Chief Executive Officer Professor Tanya Buchanan said respite played an essential role in supporting carers and helping people living with dementia remain at home and connected to their communities. “An estimated 446,500 Australians are living with dementia, many of whom are cared for at home by unpaid carers who repeatedly tell us they cannot access affordable, high-quality respite when they need it the most,” Professor Buchanan said. “Respite is not a luxury. It is a critical support that helps carers manage the physical and emotional impacts of caring, and especially for younger carers, the financial impact.” Professor Buchanan warned that unavailable or unsuitable respite could leave carers experiencing burnout and reaching crisis point. She said this increased the risk of unplanned hospitalisation or premature entry into residential aged care for the person receiving care, adding pressure across families and the health and aged care systems.
“The last dedicated national review of Commonwealth respite services was nearly 30 years ago. We need to do something about this urgently.” Carers Australia Chief Executive Officer Joanna Cave said the benefits extended beyond the primary carer to the person receiving support and their wider family. “We know respite is a circuit breaker for unpaid carers, it is an essential service.” Ms Cave said an independent review would provide evidence to improve respite policy and programs, helping services better respond to the needs of carers and those they support. For Dementia Australia advocate Jennifer Quilligan, who cares for her husband Saab, quality respite helps both of them maintain fulfilling lives while continuing to live at home. “My husband Saab and I both want to stay at home and live joyfully. We don’t want dementia to define our day, and respite helps us do that,” she said. While Saab spends time with his carer, he can swim, visit the gym and enjoy physical activity and
community connection. Jennifer can pursue her hobbies and take time to recharge. She said good respite should reflect a person’s interests, needs and sources of enjoyment. Knowing Saab was safe, respected and engaged with a trained, caring person gave her confidence to take that break. Unpaid carer Sunil Bhandari, who cares for his elderly father and supports his mother, described similar benefits for his family. Respite gives his mother time to shop or see friends, while his father has opportunities to move around his neighbourhood and speak with others. “For the wider family as well, giving Mum that break, giving Dad that broader connection, that means all of our relationships are improved, we all have more space and time for each other,” he said. The organisations are urging the Federal Government to make respite reform a priority, with an independent review providing the evidence needed to improve access and support families before they reach crisis point.

Trust Tax Relief Takes Shape
Small businesses could avoid costly restructuring under a proposed trust tax exemption, but fixed income distributions would come with a loss of flexibility. By Jeff Gibbs
passing through a trust. Different income streams may require separate consideration.
Small business trust tax changes could give eligible operators a way to avoid the proposed 30 per cent minimum tax without transferring their business into a different structure.
The September draft also proposes relief for qualifying distributions to charities and other income-tax-exempt entities, according to the ABC.
Draft legislation released on September 3 would allow discretionary trusts to elect to make fixed distributions to nominated beneficiaries. The arrangement is intended to reduce the need for restructures that could generate stamp duty and professional costs. For Northern Rivers families operating through trusts, the proposal warrants attention. However, eligibility and ongoing conditions will matter, and the draft should not be treated as legislation already in force . Why trusts are under scrutiny Discretionary trusts give trustees flexibility to allocate income among eligible beneficiaries, within the trust deed and tax rules. The government argues that this flexibility can facilitate tax minimisation. Its proposed minimum tax, announced in the May federal budget, is intended to improve fairness across the tax system. Treasury’s framework would introduce a 30 per cent minimum tax for certain discretionary trusts from July 1, 2028. The measure would not apply to every trust or every category of income. That distinction is important for families assessing whether they face any additional liability. How the proposed option
That responds to concerns about discouraging charitable giving. The precise statutory conditions will determine how the exclusion operates. What happens next
works According to the ABC report, trustees could retain their discretionary trust while choosing fixed distributions to existing beneficiaries. Maintaining the arrangement would allow them to remain exempt from the minimum tax, subject to the proposed rules. The attraction is that businesses could potentially avoid transferring assets into a company or converting their trust structure. However, they would give up discretion over distributions under the elected arrangement. The change therefore requires a practical assessment of both immediate costs and future flexibility. Why stamp duty became a concern The government previously proposed expanded rollover relief to help businesses and others restructure out of discretionary trusts. Treasury says that relief
would be available for three years from July 1, 2027. However, federal income tax relief does not automatically remove state or territory duty liabilities. A restructure could receive favourable federal treatment while still requiring a separate assessment under state law. For businesses holding dutiable property, that distinction can change the cost of moving to another structure. The proposed election seeks to address the problem by allowing qualifying trusts to change their distribution arrangements without undertaking the same structural transfers.
debtors would not attract duty because those assets are not dutiable property. Conversely, changes in beneficial ownership of dutiable property can attract duty even when legal title stays unchanged. Moving property between trusts with the same trustee can therefore have consequences that are not obvious from the name on the title. Northern Rivers operators should have their actual arrangements assessed before assuming either a duty bill or an exemption. Broader concerns from tax specialists The Tax Institute’s July
The institute also highlighted the cumulative compliance burden from multiple reforms and called for sufficient consultation. Those comments preceded the September draft. They explain the background to industry concerns, rather than establish a verdict on the released provisions. Accounting firm LDB similarly argued in its August submission summary that families should assess tax, duty, financing and succession together.

Treasury has estimated that more than 90 per cent of Australia’s 2.7 million active small businesses would not be affected in any given year. That national estimate cannot establish the position of an individual Northern Rivers business. Owners considering their options can begin by identifying their trust structure, assets, beneficiaries and existing distribution practices.

Letters to the Editor “Leemo has views on just about anything”
!"#$%&#$!'()# *+#,-.-#/0"&1# 23#4556* CRIKEY, ‘Mum Jane’ really is SO vexatious most of the time. Here’s the latest: ‘Cos she’s old now she has taken it into her mind it is VITAL she have what is described as a ‘Nanna Nap’ in the afternoons. If you don’t know what it is, it’s ‘SUPPOSEDLY’ a sophisticated skill perfected by old women of dozing off in the afternoon, (whether they have company or not) usually in a cozy chair or on a bed, with zero guilt but maximum comfort. Whilst I do tend to believe a lot of things, find the word sophistication cannot be used to describe ‘Mum Jane’ asleep & snoring with her mouth open li e a human fly trap ‘specially in the afternoon with guests visiting for cups of tea or wine present in the room. Aaargh!! AND, last week, she was going out somewhere, wearing SHORTS. I brushed against her legs in horror ‘cos (like her chin sometimes) they were furrier than my own stunning coat. Hmmm, what to do? ‘Mum, don’t you reckon you should find that little pink razor you used to have and remove all that fur from your legs if you MUST wear shorts out in public, ‘specially at your age with veins & your bunion & stuff?’ Naturally, I received a fierce glare resembling fire brimstone, ‘Firstly Leems, butt out of stuff that is none of a cat’s business, AND the fur on my legs is not BLACK like yours, AND, unlike yours, the colour and weight
is delicately balanced ensuring it is hardly noticeable & quite attractive in a sunlight glint at 11.12am in the morning. And besides, I am not wasting a whole bath of water ‘cos as you know I only have showers these days & I do NOT intend attempting an aerobic feat li e flinging my legs,1 at a time, into the air then against the wall of the shower cubicle & applying the pink razor: I could get a foot caught in the safety bar thingies & end up shaving where I shouldn’t which would NOT be good: I could possibly faint & you would have to give me Mouth-to-Mouth stuff to resuscitate me. GOTTIT? Lay off the subject Leems & talk about something else.’ I had a quick meditate up the Safe Tree & returned. ‘OK Mum, what’s the story with you allowing a Kookaburra to just come inside our house for a chat, at which time you immediately rise from your Nana Nap & make him & his kooka buddies treats…even I, Leemo, your only beloved son doesn’t seem to warrant such special attention so spill it?’ ‘Leems, you are a Cat with a very short memory (if you even have one, apart from naming treat brands you like) and, in my view, very self-obsessed. We BOTH met Kooka (who comes inside) years ago ‘cos he was so very small and appeared to be lost so I specially looked for HIM every day at bird treat time and ALWAYS fed him first. e then let me feed him by hand which was pretty special for ME. Would there perhaps be another observation you might wish to make ‘to or ABOUT me’ Leems, if so, out with it now to enable me to return to my Nana Nap.’ Hmmmm! ‘Not really Mum, well, not at this point in time at least so go back to sleep & I’ll invite the Buddies over for a ‘Pin Floyd’ jam session.’ I can’t relate her response ‘cos it was all rude words. Nitey with a big smile, Leemo & Buddies.

Offensive or defamatory content will not be published. GOOD FAITH DESERVES BETTER The situation surrounding the Townsend Collective becomes more concerning with every report. If community organisations have spent their own money and countless volunteer hours believing they were working towards an agreed future with council, they deserve absolute clarity about where they stand. Nobody expects council to bypass proper processes, but expectations should never have been allowed to develop without clear written agreements. Independent legal advice is sensible, but rebuilding trust may prove much harder. J. Somerville – Lawrence DON'T PUNISH THE VOLUNTEERS Maclean Lions has returned hundreds of thousands of dollars to the community through its Return and Earn operation, while providing purpose and companionship for older volunteers. To hear that the club could now face uncertainty over its future at Townsend is disappointing. These people have done the hard work, improved the site and created something valuable without direct council funding. Surely a practical solution can be found that allows them to continue. R. Kelleher – Maclean PAPERWORK MATTERS The Townsend controversy demonstrates why community organisations and councils need everything properly documented from day one. Good intentions and conversations are not enough when groups are spending substantial amounts of their own money. If documents were signed but copies cannot now be located, that raises obvious concerns about record keeping. Everyone involved deserves certainty, and council should establish exactly what commitments were made before deciding what happens next. E. Barlow – Gulmarrad FIND ROOM FOR BOTH Surely there is a way for Mudyala Aboriginal Corporation and Maclean Lions to both have a future without one organisation being disadvantaged for the benefit
of another. Mudyala's vision for a cultural hub sounds worthwhile, while Lions has already demonstrated the enormous community value of its Return and Earn operation. The Townsend site is public land and decisions about it should maximise community benefit. hat is needed now is transparency, consultation and some practical problem-solving rather than more confusion. C. Rutherford – Yamba WHAT A WONDERFUL RESULT Sixty Clarence Valley writers being selected from a record 328 entries is something the entire region should celebrate. Even more impressive is the involvement of 23 schools. Encouraging children to write creatively builds confidence, imagination and communication skills that will stay with them throughout their lives. Congratulations to The Long Way Home, the teachers and every person who submitted a story. H. Montrose – Grafton BRIDGING THE GENERATIONS “Under the Bridge” was an inspired theme for this year's Clarence Valley short story collection. Bridges are such a familiar part of life in the Clarence, yet they also offer endless possibilities for storytelling. What makes this project particularly special is seeing primary students, teenagers and adults published together. It proves creativity has no age limit and gives emerging writers the thrill of seeing their work in a real book. Nine years and almost 2500 stories is an extraordinary contribution to the cultural life of the valley. S. Hollingworth – Ulmarra LOCAL STORIES ARE WORTH PRESERVING Projects such as Stories from the Clarence Valley do something important beyond running a writing competition. They preserve local voices. Years from now, these books will provide a fascinating record of how people living in the Clarence imagined their communities, landscapes and lives. Congratulations to everyone keeping this initiative going. P. Westlake – Wooli A TROUBLING WITHDRAWAL Andrew Baker's decision to withdraw from the mayoral race because he feels unable to publicly defend council's handling of the Townsend Collective should concern ratepayers regardless of whether they support him politically. When an elected councillor concludes that governance problems are too entrenched for him to achieve meaningful change as mayor, questions inevitably follow. The independent legal review needs to provide clear answers, and councillors must demonstrate that important decisions involving public land and money are being properly authorised and scrutinised. D. Chesworth – South Grafton
or something more complicated, a discrepancy of millions of dollars cannot be treated casually. Councillors cannot make responsible decisions if they do not have complete and understandable financial information in front of them. Cr Baker was right to raise the issue, and ratepayers deserve a straightforward explanation of how the figures were compiled. F. Corcoran – Junction Hill MAYOR MUST HAVE CONFIDENCE Cr Baker made one point that is difficult to argue with: a mayor must be able to stand before the community and defend the council's decision-making. If he genuinely felt he could not do that, withdrawing was more responsible than pursuing the title regardless. The bigger challenge now belongs to whoever becomes mayor. Restoring public confidence will require openness, strong meeting leadership and a willingness to ask uncomfortable questions. N. Wentzel – Casino MORE THAN A FIGHT IN THE RING Stories about local boxers succeeding remind us how valuable good sporting clubs can be for young people. Training re uires fitness, discipline, respect and the ability to keep working when things become difficult. aving experienced fighters such as Sunny McLean competing internationally also gives younger members someone close to home to look up to. I hope Jamie Hinto en oys every moment of his first international opportunity and that the whole team returns proud of what they achieved. L. Dorrington – Coffs Harbour I'D LIKE A SLICE OF QUEENSLAND Ranger Nick's Australian-shaped meat loaf record attempt gave me the biggest laugh of the paper. Some ideas probably should remain conversations over a beer, but thankfully this one didn't. Traditional camp ovens, a huge meat loaf and an Australian map you can actually eat sounds like great entertainment. My only question is who gets Tasmania? G. Telfer – Armidale A CLUBHOUSE TO BE PROUD OF The new $1.6 million Casino Cougars clubhouse is a wonderful investment in the town's young people. Turning disaster recovery funding into a facility designed to better withstand future floods is exactly what “building back better” should mean. With spacious change rooms and provision for a future grandstand, someone has clearly thought beyond today's needs. Congratulations to the club, governments, council and the many local tradespeople who helped make it happen. K. Brannigan – Casino
STAY AND FIGHT FOR CHANGE I respect Cr Baker's reasons for withdrawing, but I am disappointed. If he genuinely believes council governance needs reform, surely contesting the mayoralty was an opportunity to pursue it. Walking away from the contest leaves voters wondering who will challenge existing practices. He says he will continue scrutinising decisions as a councillor, and I hope he does exactly that. S. Kilpatrick – Coutts Crossing
REBUILDING WITH PURPOSE After years of uncertainty following the catastrophic floods, it is encouraging to see tangible progress on safer housing across the Northern Rivers. Almost 1,000 buyback offers, more than 500 resilient measures grants and hundreds of homes being reused or relocated show the recovery effort is finally translating into practical outcomes. The emphasis on keeping relocated homes within the region wherever possible is particularly sensible. Recovery was never going to happen overnight, but creating safer communities while retaining housing stock is a positive way forward. E. McAlister – Goonellabah
THE COST FIGURES NEED EXPLAINING The most alarming aspect of the Townsend debate is the apparent difference between the preliminary project total and the civil works figure that was not included. Whether it was simply an oversight
DON'T LOSE MOMENTUM NOW The scale of the Northern Rivers housing recovery is impressive, but more than four years after the floods many families understandably want to see results faster. Opening flood free land
at Mount Pleasant Estate and progressing hundreds of potential lots across East Lismore are welcome developments. The challenge now is turning plans, applications and consultations into completed homes. Families who have endured years of disruption deserve certainty about where and when they can rebuild their lives. P. Langdon – East Lismore ROADS AND SEWERAGE COME FIRST The Housing Industry Association has identified something regional communities have understood for years: releasing land achieves little if there are no roads, water, sewerage or electricity connections to support new homes. The proposed $1.5 billion infrastructure commitment could make an enormous difference if it genuinely reaches regional and rural Australia. Housing shortages cannot be solved simply by approving more subdivisions on paper. We need serviced land that builders can actually build on. B. Whitcombe – Gold Coast HOUSING NEEDS MORE THAN ONE FIX The housing debate too often searches for one simple answer when the problems are clearly interconnected. We need more serviced land, faster approvals, infrastructure delivered earlier and enough skilled workers to actually construct the homes. At the same time, building standards must remain appropriate and safety cannot be sacrificed in the rush for supply. The HIA is right that there is no single lever capable of solving the shortage. Governments need to tackle several constraints simultaneously rather than announcing one program and declaring the problem addressed. V. Ashby – Ballina A WIN FOR KYOGLE RATEPAYERS Kyogle Council’s permanent exemption from the NSW EPA waste levy is an excellent result after years of advocacy. Saving local ratepayers up to $400,000 annually is significant for a small rural council, particularly when neighbouring Tenterfield was already outside the levy area. Credit should go to everyone who kept arguing the case until common sense prevailed. Just as importantly, the permanent decision gives council certainty for future waste planning instead of wondering whether another temporary exemption will expire. D. Caldwell – Kyogle A LITTLE MAGIC GOES A LONG WAY What a delightful story about Humphrey B. Bear visiting St Vincent’s Lismore. Seeing children, aged-care residents, patients and staff sharing the enjoyment of such a familiar Australian character must have created some wonderful moments. The fact the visit also supported Red Nose Australia made it even more worthwhile. In places where people may be facing illness or difficult circumstances, a little nostalgia, laughter and uncomplicated happiness can mean an enormous amount. Q. Marston – Lismore PROTECT OUR BEES, PROTECT OUR FOOD Kevin Hogan is right to describe Varroa mite as much more than a beekeeping problem. If commercial bee colonies continue to suffer major losses, the consequences will eventually be felt by fruit, vegetable, nut, berry and seed producers that rely on pollination. Beekeepers facing this new reality need practical treatment options, good surveillance and sensible support while they adapt. Australia may no longer be able to eradicate Varroa, but that makes effective long-term management even more important. U. Fawcett – Alstonville A WARNING WORTH HEEDING
thenorthernriverstimes.com.au The research linking cannabis use with an earlier onset of psychosis deserves serious attention, particularly the much larger difference reported among people whose illness develops in their late 20s and 30s. I appreciated that the article did not sensationalise the findings or claim cannabis automatically causes psychosis. Instead, it explained both the association and the limitations of the research. With cannabis becoming increasingly visible and accessible, people deserve clear information about possible mental health risks so they can make informed decisions. L. Carmichael – Goonellabah DON'T ASSUME THE RISK DISAPPEARS One of the most interesting findings was that cannabis-related psychiatric concerns may extend well beyond adolescence. The article challenges the idea that once someone reaches adulthood the potential risks have largely passed. The fact researchers found no significant difference among users under 20, yet a widening gap later in adulthood, certainly gives people something to think about. Balanced health reporting like this is far more useful than either demonising cannabis or pretending there are no risks. T. Everard – Byron Bay QUALITY JOURNALISM WEEK AFTER WEEK Another outstanding edition of The Northern Rivers Times. What continues to impress me is the extraordinary range of genuinely useful information. One moment I am reading substantial local news, then a thought-provoking opinion piece, health research, motoring, community stories and sport. The presentation is equally impressive, with strong photographs and layouts that make you want to keep turning the pages. At a time when so much information is reduced to a few lines on a screen, having a substantial regional newspaper that informs, challenges and entertains is something worth celebrating. N. Beaumont – Gold Coast VANDALISM THAT COULD COST A LIFE Vandalising a lifesaving beacon at an unpatrolled beach is not harmless mischief. This equipment exists so someone facing an emergency can communicate directly with Surf Life Saving NSW and summon help quickly. Damaging the Maggie’s Beach beacon for a second time is disgraceful, particularly with the patrol season approaching. Whoever is responsible should consider how they would feel if a delayed emergency response contributed to a tragedy. Community safety equipment should be absolutely off limits.
G. Harcourt – Cabarita Beach QUESTION THE EASY ANSWERS Tim Howard’s comparison between early motor cars and today’s energy transition made an excellent point. New technologies rarely arrive perfectly formed, and judging their entire future by their present limitations can be remarkably short-sighted. Electric vehicles, batteries, solar and nuclear all involve genuine challenges, but those challenges should encourage better engineering rather than automatic rejection. I particularly liked the warning about mental shortcuts. Whether we support or oppose a technology, we should be prepared to question the evidence that conveniently confirms what we already believe. R. Stanhope – Bangalow CHANGE ALWAYS BRINGS PROBLEMS The image of someone walking in front of an early motor car waving a red flag perfectly illustrated how absurd yesterday’s fears can appear with hindsight. Tim Howard is right, however, that new technology also creates problems nobody anticipates. Renewable energy and electric vehicles will be no different. The sensible approach is neither blind enthusiasm nor determined resistance, but accepting that technology evolves as problems are identified and solved. Refusing change because it is imperfect today could leave us looking as foolish as those who once feared the motor car. C. Dalrymple – Mullumbimby
LETTERS & OPINIONS sense is not owned by any particular age group. F. Newstead – Ocean Shores
always shines through. Another delightful Leemo column. R. Penfold – Coraki
SOMETIMES THE WISEST ANSWER IS I DON'T KNOW The sentence that stayed with me from this article was the suggestion that responsible judgment sometimes means admitting, “I do not know.” We live in an age where everyone seems expected to have an immediate opinion about everything from climate science and medicine to economics and technology. Real common sense should include knowing the limits of our own expertise and being prepared to listen to someone who knows more. That is not weakness; it is maturity. K. Warburton – Tweed Heads
PLEASE COME BACK, LEEMO The thought of Leemo returning for another nine lives is wonderful, although I suspect Mum Jane might demand considerably stricter conditions next time around. His “Next Life” wishes were classic Leemo — cheeky, demanding and completely convinced the household revolves around him. I particularly enjoyed Mum's wish to come back as a cat so she could organise the next Buddies meeting herself. Week after week, this column provides exactly the sort of light-hearted humour we need among the serious news. S. Winterton – Kingscliff
LESS JUDGMENT, MORE LISTENING As someone with children and grandchildren from very different generations, I thoroughly enjoyed this article. The older members of our family have practical experience, memories and local knowledge, while the younger ones bring technological confidence and completely different ways of approaching problems. We regularly teach each other things. The idea that wisdom travels only from old to young is outdated. The strongest families and communities are surely those where knowledge travels in both directions. M. Eddington – Casino
COMMON SENSE HASN'T VANISHED Jeff Gibbs makes an excellent point that every generation tends to think the next one has somehow lost its common sense. In reality, the skills needed to navigate everyday life simply change. My parents could repair things I would not know where to start with, while my grandchildren can spot an online scam or solve a technology problem before I've even found my glasses. Neither generation knows everything. Perhaps we would all be better off sharing what we know instead of criticising what others don't. D. Pembroke – Grafton
THIS ARTICLE MADE ME RETHINK What a brilliant article. I must admit I have been guilty of complaining that younger generations have lost the common sense we grew up with, but “The Sense We Share” made me reconsider that assumption. The point that common sense evolves according to the world each generation experiences really struck home. Young people possess skills and judgment in areas that barely existed when many of us were growing up. Perhaps instead of asking what happened to common sense, we should recognise that it has simply changed. This article genuinely made me rethink a long-held view. A. Weatherstone – Lennox Head
WISDOM WORKS BOTH WAYS “The Sense We Share” was a refreshing rejection of the tired argument that young people lack practical intelligence. Older generations have experience that cannot be downloaded from the internet, but younger people have developed skills suited to a very different and rapidly changing world. Put those abilities together and everyone benefits. Common
LEEMO'S NEXT NINE LIVES Leemo wondering whether his next life will involve another stint with Mum Jane had me laughing, especially his careful negotiations about treats, holidays and avoiding lemon squeezing. Beneath all the silliness, though, there was something rather sweet about both of them admitting they would choose each other again. Their relationship may involve plenty of squabbling, but the affection

TINNED TUNA NEVER TASTED SO GOOD I tried the Tuna, Bean and Cottage Cheese Patties expecting a simple midweek meal and was genuinely surprised by how tasty they were. The cannellini beans kept them beautifully tender, while the lemon, parsley and spring onion gave them plenty of freshness. They were inexpensive, filling and on the table without much fuss. This is exactly the sort of practical recipe families need, and it has already earned a permanent place in my dinner rotation. J. Fairweather – Evans Head CHOCOLATE HEAVEN MADE EASY The Super-Easy Chocolate Cake absolutely lived up to its name. I made it for afternoon tea and could not believe something so straightforward could turn out so moist and rich. The chocolate icing was delicious, and adding fresh berries made it look far more impressive than the effort involved suggested. There certainly weren't any leftovers surviving for “several days” in our house — the last slice mysteriously disappeared that evening! C. Ravenscroft – Murwillumbah

ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE HAS ARRIVED Your MG IM5 Performance review certainly challenged my assumptions about electric cars. A comfortable five-seat liftback producing 572kW and reaching 100km/h in just 3.2 seconds is extraordinary, but I was equally impressed by the claimed 575km range and spacious interior. The presentation of the review was excellent too, with the performance figures, photographs and verdict making it easy to absorb.

Spring that brings hope… FIRSTLY, thank you to the readers who enquired as to my whereabouts in the month or so that I was away, you proved the contrary to something I was told by an old boss, many years ago: “Make as big a splash in a bucket of water as you like, after two minutes of taking your hand away, there’ll be no trace that you were there at all.” I must admit, this adage has proven right on more occasions than it has proven wrong, but this time round, it was nicely not the case. That said, I was even planning to take a little more time off, but I had to write something in response to seeing brave Souths stalwart Jai Arrow lead his Bunnies out the other day in his 99th appearance for the club. And the fact Souths granted him this honour (to enable him to get to triple figures, after being diagnosed with MND) is why sport provides so many unforgettable moments, that just can’t be conjured in any other way. I think for as long as sport, and not just rugby league, is played in this country, the legacy of Jai Arrow will remain vibrantly alive at the heart of each and every play. Reminding us all to take our chances, and give one hundred percent to all the things that bring us joy and purpose. Because in life, there are no guarantees, and even if there were, most of them aren’t even worth the paper they’re written on. Our most glorious moments come
when we harness our heart’s desire, through deeds that don’t just achieve what we aim for, but through deeds that provide hope to others in the face of trial. As we charge into the oncoming months of Spring, I’m reminded of the ever-uplifting sentiments of a hero of mine, Henry David Thoreau who noted in his journal of 1853, “Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Be blown on by all the winds. Grow green with spring, yellow and ripe with autumn. Drink of each season’s influence as a vial, a true panacea of all remedies mixed for your especial use.” Because none of us know what tomorrow brings, let alone how many seasons we’ll see, or even get to call our own. So, be sure to challenge yourself to not just smell the roses, but to savour your surrounds in such a way that not even the smallest detail escapes you. Make this spring the one that you live with the purest diligence and the most inflamed sense of what it means to be alive. Or as Anne Lamott once suggested, “I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen.” Listen out for the lessons that the breeze of the seasons and people like Jai Arrow, have to unforgettably tell.

BOOK REVIEW & NEWS
Truck Show Week Records $8.3m Spend Spending across Richmond Valley climbed almost 19 per cent during Casino Truck Show week, while visitor surveys highlighted strong interstate interest and overnight stays. By Jeff Gibbs The 2026 North Coast Petroleum Casino Truck Show has reinforced its importance to local businesses, with new figures showing $8.319 million in spending across Richmond Valley during the five-day event period. CBA iQ data reported by Richmond Valley Council recorded the spending between Wednesday, July 29, and Sunday, August 2, an increase of 18.8 per cent on 2025. Across the same period, 31,860 unique customers made purchases throughout the region, up 22 per cent. Visitors accounted for 46 per cent of spending and 58 per cent of customers. Casino businesses recorded $3.228 million in card spending, an increase of 15.8 per cent. The number of customers spending in the township rose 23.1 per cent to 23,300. Richmond Valley Council Invest and Live Manager
Stacey Mills said the results demonstrated how major events could benefit businesses beyond the immediate event precinct. “The Truck Show brings tens of thousands of people into Casino, but its economic benefits extend well beyond the event itself,” Ms Mills said. “Almost half of the spending recorded across the Richmond Valley came from visitors, meaning genuine new money flowing through our accommodation providers, cafes, restaurants, service stations, retailers and other businesses.” Benefits Beyond the Show Ms Mills said the figures covered spending at permanently established businesses, rather than every transaction associated with the Truck Show. “They don’t include spending with the food trucks, market stalls and temporary vendors which are such a big part of the Truck Show, so there is substantial event-related
spending which isn’t represented in the $8.3 million figure,” she said. While the data measures regional spending during the event period, rather than isolating spending directly attributable to the show, it highlights increased business activity compared with 2025. The final visitor survey also indicated that the event attracted people from well beyond Richmond Valley. Its 885 respondents came from 466 different towns and cities. Just four per cent were Richmond Valley residents, while 47 per cent travelled from interstate and 73 per cent stayed overnight. Respondents reported staying in Richmond Valley towns and villages, as well as other Northern Rivers and North Coast destinations, including Lismore, Ballina, Grafton, Yamba and Byron Bay. Strong Crowds and Return Interest The 2026 show attracted an estimated 45,000 people,
while registrations reached the event’s 550-truck capacity within an hour. Friday Night Lights also grew, attracting 382 participating trucks. Survey respondents reported high satisfaction, with 96 per cent rating their experience four or five out of five. Meanwhile, 98 per cent said they were likely or very likely to return. Ms Mills said the combination of visitor spending, interstate attendance and overnight stays demonstrated the event’s value to the wider visitor economy. “The combination of strong spending, interstate visitation and overnight stays shows why the Truck Show is so valuable to our region,” she said. “It brings new people and new money into the Richmond Valley, supports our local businesses and gives thousands of visitors another reason to come back and discover more of our region.”
Rainforest to River Takes Root Across Lismore Can’t keep a good girl down Title: My Brilliant Career Author: Miles Franklin Price: $37.75 Genre: Australian classic I am not ashamed to say I am jumping on the bandwagon of this classic. Renewed interest has been shown thanks to the 2026 series that is currently available on Netflix. But it was originally a novel written in 1901 by Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin who, to be taken seriously, had to go under the moniker of a male sounding name. The story follows the life of Sybylla Melvyn, whose father has spent the family fortune on bad business deals and alcohol. They are left to run a badly performing dairy farm but Sybylla wants more than is being dished up to her. With the desire to become a writer, she is given the opportunity to
live with some very well off relatives and even has a romantic encounter with the neighbour, Harry Beecham. But Sybylla knows there is more to life than just being wed and so there are some very major decisions and rocky confrontations to be had. Franklin wrote the novel as a teenager to amuse her friends. She submitted it to Henry Lawson, who added a preface and then sent it to publishers in Scotland. An interesting fact was Franklin withdrew the novel from publication until after her death due to the angst she received because of the relative closeness of the characters to her family. A film version was released in 1979 starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill and directed by Gillian Armstrong and produced by Margaret Fink. You can buy a copy of the book at booktopia. com.au
More than 17,000 native plants are taking root across Lismore as hundreds of volunteers help restore rainforest, wetlands and riverbanks through the growing Rainforest to River project. By Robert Heyward A major environmental restoration effort is beginning to reshape parts of Lismore, with more than 17,000 native plants now established and over 500 Landcare and community volunteers contributing to the work. The Rainforest to River project is restoring critically endangered lowland subtropical rainforest and other important habitat across 16 sites covering 42 hectares throughout Lismore. Early results are already becoming visible. At the South Lismore Duck Pond, some native trees planted by volunteers have grown beyond two metres in around 10 months, offering a glimpse of what the restored areas could look like as vegetation becomes established. Lismore City Council Environmental Strategies Officer Hannah RiceHayes said the rapid growth demonstrated what sustained restoration combined with community participation could achieve. “To see some of the trees at the South Lismore Duck Pond already reaching more than two metres in around 10 months is incredible,” Ms Rice-Hayes said. “It’s fantastic to see the
difference being made by our Landcare groups, project partners and volunteers, and to watch these sites begin to change so quickly.” Reconnecting Lismore’s Habitat The project is funded by the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust under the Urban Rivers and Catchments Program. Work is focused on reconnecting fragmented vegetation, strengthening habitat corridors for native wildlife and improving biodiversity and the health of local waterways. Restoration activities include planting native species, controlling weeds and encouraging natural regeneration. Together, these measures are designed to create healthier ecosystems with greater resilience to pressures including flooding, weeds and pollution. Federal Minister for the Environment and Water Murray Watt welcomed the involvement of Landcare organisations and residents. “Restoring riparian habitat is one of the best ways we can support healthy rivers and the native animals and plants that depend on them,” Minister Watt said. “The Albanese Government is proud to fund initiatives like this across
the country, helping to leave nature better than we found it.” Roll Up Your Sleeves and Help Lismore Grow With spring approaching, the next stage of Rainforest to River needs community hands on the ground — and residents are being encouraged to come along, grab a planting tool and become part of Lismore’s environmental restoration story. No previous planting experience is required, making the community days an opportunity for families, individuals, community groups and anyone who enjoys the outdoors to make a practical contribution. Ms Rice-Hayes said every planting day helped build towards a much bigger environmental outcome. “Every planting day adds another piece to the bigger picture,” she said. “The trees people plant today will continue growing and providing habitat for decades to come.” The Spring Rainforest to River community planting program includes: • Saturday, September 26, 9am–12pm: North Lismore Wetlands • Saturday, October 3, 9am–12pm: South Lismore Duck Pond
• Sunday, October 11, 2pm–4pm: Simes Bridge, North Lismore Your Hands Can Make a Difference More than 500 volunteers have already helped put thousands of plants into the ground. Now the invitation is open for more Northern Rivers residents to join them. A few hours volunteered this spring can contribute to vegetation that may remain part of Lismore’s landscape for decades, providing habitat, strengthening environmental corridors and helping improve local waterways. Whether you are a seasoned Landcare volunteer or have never planted a native tree before, this is an opportunity to get involved rather than simply watch restoration happen. Bring your enthusiasm, spend a few hours outdoors and help put the next generation of Lismore’s rainforest and riverbank habitat into the ground. As Ms Rice-Hayes said: “If you enjoy being outdoors, come along to one of our spring planting days and lend a hand. You’ll be helping restore our natural environment and you might just discover a little piece of paradise in Lismore that you never knew existed.”

New Planning Consultation Rules Reshape How Tweed Residents Have Their Say NSW’s new statewide framework gives communities more time to influence long-term planning while removing mandatory notification for many lower-impact development applications.
By Robert Heyward
New consultation requirements for planning and development matters came into effect across New South Wales on 1 September 2026, changing when Tweed residents must be invited to comment on proposals. The NSW Government’s Statewide Community Participation Plan replaces more than 100 separate community participation plans previously used by councils and government planning authorities. It establishes consistent minimum exhibition periods across the state and seeks to direct community involvement towards proposals with the greatest potential to influence housing, employment, infrastructure, environmental protection and the future character of local communities. For Tweed residents, the reforms create longer consultation periods for several important strategic planning documents. At the same time, they remove mandatory public exhibition from a range of development applications the State Government has classified as lower impact. More time to consider strategic plans Draft regional and district strategic plans, along with draft Local Strategic Planning Statements, must now be publicly exhibited for at least 60 days. These documents can influence where future housing and employment areas are located, how population growth is managed, what infrastructure will be required and which environmental or scenic areas should be protected. Structure plans, precinct plans and master plans applying to urban-renewal areas generally require a minimum 42-day exhibition period. Planning proposals seeking to amend a Local Environmental Plan, as well as draft Development Control Plans, generally
have minimum exhibition periods of 28 days. These periods are minimum requirements. Planning authorities may extend consultation in appropriate circumstances and can continue using locally suitable engagement methods, including community meetings, information sessions, online notices and social media. Standard periods for development applications The statewide plan also standardises public exhibition periods for development applications. Most local development applications that require exhibition must be displayed for at least 14 days. This includes residential flat buildings and shop-top housing, which remained within the notification framework following public feedback on the draft plan. More complex proposals generally require at least 28 days of public exhibition. These can include designated development, nominated integrated development, council-related development applications and proposals likely to significantly affect threatened species. The practical effect
is that similar types of development will be subject to the same minimum consultation requirements regardless of which NSW local government area receives the application. Some neighbours may no longer receive notification One of the most consequential changes is the removal of mandatory public exhibition for certain lower-impact development applications. This exemption generally applies where the proposal is consistent with applicable buildingheight and floor-spaceratio controls. Depending on the proposal and planning provisions, applications that may no longer require formal exhibition include: • dwelling houses of up to two storeys; • secondary dwellings, commonly called granny flats; • dual occupancies of up to two storeys; • attached housing developments containing up to five dwellings; • swimming pools, sheds, pergolas and carports; • home businesses and home industries; • farm buildings and extensive agriculture;
• some applications for tree removal on private land; • demolition proposals; • subdivisions creating up to five lots; and • certain modification applications and temporary structures. As a result, nearby owners and residents may not always receive a formal notice or have an opportunity to lodge a submission about every development application in their neighbourhood. However, removal of the exhibition requirement does not turn these proposals into automatic approvals. Each application must still be assessed by the relevant consent authority under NSW planning legislation. Assessment officers must consider applicable planning controls and relevant environmental, neighbourhood and amenity impacts. Depending on the proposal, this can include privacy, overlooking, overshadowing, streetscape character, access, traffic, drainage, vegetation, bushfire risk, flooding and compliance with development standards. Consultation moves to the earlier planning stage
Tweed Shire Council Director Planning and Regulation Denise Galle said the reforms are intended to concentrate public participation on decisions with the greatest long-term influence over towns and communities. Strategic planning determines where housing, jobs and infrastructure can be delivered and how environmental land will be managed. The new framework gives communities longer periods in which to understand and respond to those broader proposals. Lower-impact applications will continue to be considered on their individual merits, but they may proceed through assessment without formal public notification when they fall within the statewide exemptions. This shift makes early participation increasingly important. Residents who want to influence the future direction of their neighbourhood may achieve the greatest effect by contributing to strategic plans, planning proposals and development controls before individual applications are lodged. What happens to existing applications? Transitional provisions
apply to development and modification applications lodged—but not determined—before 1 September 2026. Those applications remain subject to the community participation requirements that applied before the new statewide plan commenced. Similar protections apply to draft regional or district strategic plans and draft Local Strategic Planning Statements that had already been exhibited but were not finalised before the new 60-day requirement began. The Statewide Community Participation Plan now governs planning-related exhibition requirements for Tweed Shire Council and other NSW planning authorities. Tweed Council’s broader community engagement framework can continue to guide consultation on council services and matters outside the planning system. For residents, the central message is clear: there will be more time to comment on the plans that shape long-term growth, but fewer routine development applications will necessarily arrive as notifications in the letterbox.

Woman Allegedly Records 0.240 After Ballina Crash By Jeff Gibbs A 47-year-old woman will face court after allegedly returning a blood-alcohol reading of 0.240 following a crash at Ballina. Emergency services were called to a collision on Angels Beach Drive about 9.30am on Friday, September 4. Officers attached to Tweed/Byron Highway Patrol attended and breath-tested the 47-yearold driver of one of the
vehicles. Police allege the roadside test returned a positive result. The woman was taken to Ballina Police Station, where further testing allegedly returned a reading of 0.240. She was issued with a Future Court Attendance Notice for driving with high-range prescribed concentration of alcohol and driving while her licence was suspended under section 66 of the
Fines Act. Her licence was also suspended. The woman is due to appear before Ballina Local Court on Thursday, October 1, 2026. The incident was among those highlighted by NSW Police following the statewide Operation RAID — Remove All Impaired Drivers campaign. Legal note: The alleged offences have not been proven in court
Thousands Caught During Operation RAID By Jeff Gibbs More than 7,000 traffic infringement notices have been issued during a major NSW Police crackdown targeting impaired driving. Operation RAID — Remove All Impaired Drivers — began at midnight on Thursday, September 3 and concluded at 4am on Sunday, September 6. Police conducted more than 162,027 breath tests, detecting 212 drink-driving offences across NSW.
Another 6,420 roadside drug tests were conducted, with 774 people returning positive samples. The high-visibility operation also resulted in more than 7,113 traffic infringement notices, including 2,251 for speeding, 344 for mobilephone offences and 106 restraint-related offences. The NSW Northern Region recorded 1,781 infringements, including 649 speeding infringements. Police conducted 27,622 breath tests across the
Northern Region, resulting in 76 PCA charges. Another 1,629 drug tests were undertaken, with 249 positive drug-driving tests recorded. There were also 69 major crashes across the Northern Region, but no fatalities. Statewide, two people lost their lives on NSW roads during the operation.

Man Charged Over Coffs Harbour Vehicle Theft
Ballina Airport Accused Remains In Custody By Jeff Gibbs A 38-year-old man charged following an alleged incident at Ballina Byron Gateway Airport remains in custody after appearing in court. The charges arise from an incident at the airport shortly after 9.30am on Monday, August 31. Police were called following reports a man had entered a restricted area. Police allege officers
searched the man's belongings and located a knife and a saw. The man was directed to leave the airport area but allegedly returned a short time later. Police allege a male senior constable was assaulted as officers moved to arrest the man. The officer suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics.

Driver Freed From Truck After Fairy Hill Crash By Jeff Gibbs A man has been taken to hospital in a serious condition following a dramatic truck crash on Summerland Way at Fairy Hill, north of Casino. Emergency services were called to the crash at about 10.15pm on Saturday, September 5. A small food-delivery pantech truck had left the roadway and became entangled in cattle-grid fencing before coming to rest partly against a tree.
The driver, a man aged in his 30s, became trapped inside the vehicle with compression around his lower legs. Members of the Casino VRA Rescue Squad used specialised cutting, spreading and stabilisation equipment to reach the trapped driver. The truck's doors were removed before rescuers moved the dashboard and steering column away from the man's legs. The complex rescue took about an hour.
The driver suffered lower-leg, facial and chest injuries and was taken to Lismore Base Hospital in a serious condition. NSW Rural Fire Service crews, including members of the Kyogle Brigade, also assisted at the scene by managing potential spills and providing fire protection for paramedics and rescuers. The circumstances leading to the crash were not established in the information available at publication time.
Woman Charged With Murder After Body Found At Teven
Police used a Taser during the arrest of a 37-year-old man following inquiries into an alleged vehicle theft. A man has been charged with three offences following a Coffs Harbour stolen vehicle investigation after a Mazda BT50 was allegedly taken from Howard Street earlier this week. Police said the vehicle was allegedly stolen about 5.20pm on Monday,
August 31, 2026. Officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District were notified and began investigating. Following extensive inquiries, police stopped a 37-year-old man on Harbour Drive, Coffs Harbour, about 1am on Wednesday, September 2. Police said a Taser was used to carry out the arrest. The man was taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station, where he was charged with: • Taking and driving a conveyance without the
owner’s consent. • Driving with a licence that expired more than two years ago. • Possessing a prohibited plant in a quantity less than or equal to a small quantity. The man was refused bail and was scheduled to appear before Bail Division Court 1 on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. The charges are allegations. The man is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
An 81-year-old man has been found dead at a property at Teven, west of Ballina, with a 51-yearold woman subsequently charged with murder. Police were called to a home on Teven Road about 12.10pm on Thursday, September 3, following reports concerning the welfare of a person. During a search of the property, officers located the body of an 81-year-old man in a creek. Police established a crime
scene and commenced investigations into the circumstances surrounding the man's death. A 51-year-old woman was arrested at the scene and taken to Lismore Police Station. She was later taken to Lismore Base Hospital for assessment. The woman was returned to police custody at about 10.25am on Friday, September 4, and taken back to Lismore Police Station. She was subsequently charged with murder (domestic violence).
$1 Million CCTV Network Planned for Ballina and Lennox Head A new CCTV network will be installed across priority public locations in Ballina and Lennox Head to support community safety and assist police investigations. Ballina Shire Council has
secured $1 million from the Australian Government’s Strengthening Community Safety – Election Commitment Funding program for cameras, communications infrastructure and a centralised video management system. The planned network will improve monitoring
of public spaces and give NSW Police access for operational and investigative purposes. Council says the technology may help deter crime and antisocial behaviour while providing useful footage when incidents occur. Ballina Shire Mayor Sharon Cadwallader said
the investment would provide another tool to help make town centres and public areas safer and more welcoming for residents, businesses and visitors. Preliminary work is already underway, with further activity continuing in the Ballina CBD. Installation will be staged, although the timing and
exact locations of later works are still being finalised. Council says the network will operate under relevant privacy requirements, including controls governing access to footage and how recordings are stored and managed. The project is intended

PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 The Owens Witches Cast Their Spell Again By Jeff Gibbs Nearly three decades after Practical Magic bewitched audiences, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return as Sally and Gillian Owens in Practical Magic 2, a long-awaited sequel that understands exactly why the 1998 original became such an enduring favourite. Rather than simply repeating the first film, director Susanne Bier expands the Owens family story while retaining its irresistible mixture of witchcraft, romance, sisterhood, humour and darkness. Bullock's Sally Owens remains the emotional centre. Older and wiser, Sally has spent years understanding the extraordinary legacy carried by the women of her family. Nicole Kidman's Gillian, meanwhile, remains the freer and more unpredictable sister, providing an energetic contrast to Sally's cautious nature. The story draws the Owens women back together as
another supernatural threat emerges, forcing the family to confront its history and the consequences of magic passed through generations. Old secrets resurface, relationships are tested and the Owens family's celebrated—and occasionally disastrous— relationship with love once again becomes central. For longtime fans, one of the biggest pleasures is the return of Stockard Channing as Aunt Frances and Dianne Wiest as Aunt Jet. Their presence provides an important connection to the original movie and restores some of the wonderfully eccentric family chemistry that made it memorable. The younger generation also receives greater attention. Joey King joins the ensemble, alongside Maisie Williams, Lee Pace, Xolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod, giving the sequel room to explore how the Owens legacy continues through a changing family. But Bullock and Kidman
are the real reason this sequel works. Their chemistry remains wonderfully natural. Whether arguing, laughing or confronting supernatural danger, Sally and Gillian still feel like sisters rather than two movie stars sharing the screen. The film wisely gives their relationship room to breathe instead of allowing elaborate visual effects to overwhelm the characters. Visually, Practical Magic 2 is gorgeous. Candlelight, moonlit gardens, old houses, herbs, spell books and autumnal landscapes create an enchanting gothic atmosphere. The magic feels mysterious rather than superhero-like, maintaining the intimate quality of the original. Interestingly, the sequel arrives 28 years after Practical Magic first reached cinemas in 1998. Bullock and Kidman also serve as producers, helping ensure the continuation remains connected to the movie
audiences remember. Australian viewers have another reason to be interested: Nicole Kidman returns to one of her most beloved fantasy roles, bringing an unmistakable Australian connection to this major Hollywood sequel. Most importantly, Practical Magic 2 understands that the real magic was never simply spells and potions. It was family, particularly the complicated but unbreakable bond between the Owens women. Warm, funny, romantic and beautifully supernatural, this is the rare legacy sequel that feels like coming home. Verdict: Practical Magic 2 successfully recaptures the spell of the original while allowing the Owens family story to grow. Bullock and Kidman are irresistible together, making this a magical reunion worth waiting nearly three decades for.

THE DROPOUT
ABC TV, 8.20pm
SBS2, 8.30pm
MEL GIEDROYC: UNFORGIVABLE
This witty take on the many-murders-in-aquaint-British-village genre stars Timothy Spall (pictured) as John Chapel, a retired actor best known for playing TV detective Inspector Charles Caesar. When one of his neighbours turns up dead, the reclusive star devises a theory that an ulterior motive is at play and gets roped into helping solve the real-life crime. Acting as his perky foil and dragging him into the case is detective Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth), who also happens to be Chapel’s biggest fan. An especially enjoyable entry into the cosy murder genre, this Welsh series bubbles along thanks to a bristling chemistry between its leads, even if the set ups do get a trifle silly at times.
Imagine being able to scan for hundreds of diseases using a single drop of blood, all in the comfort of your own home. Such was the allure of Theranos, the US company that set out to revolutionise medical diagnostics and the lives of billions of people. Based on the podcast of the same name, this eight-part limited series charts the meteoric rise and fall of Theranos and its enigmatic founder, Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried, pictured). To understand how it all went wrong, The Dropout takes us back to the beginning, when Holmes was an optimistic student who left Stanford University in 2004 to pursue her ‘great idea’. Despite a lack of proof, legions of investors bought into Holmes’ claims, charisma and ambition.
SBS2, 9.35pm
Audiences familiar with Mel Giedroyc’s (pictured) sunny and wholesome persona as the original co-host of The Great British Bake Off might be slightly shocked by the comedian’s edgier approach to this panel show. Inviting celebrities to confess their most unforgivable acts, shameful anecdotes and embarrassing moments, Giedroyc sits on a throne and assigns points as her utterly unpredictable sidekick Lou Sanders keeps score. Graham Norton gets the ball rolling in this premiere, revealing a lie to his mother that went too far, while Desiree Burch and Alex Brooker also share mortifying mishaps. It’s essentially just another chat show, but with a silly and saucy twist that makes it worthwhile. 1109

HEALTH
Heat Danger for Over60s Begins Earlier Than Previously Thought New global research suggests people aged 60 and over can reach dangerous limits of heat exposure at substantially lower temperatures than younger adults, prompting calls for agespecific heat warnings and better protection as Australia faces a hotter future. By Jeff Gibbs Extreme heat could become dangerous for older Australians at significantly lower temperatures than previously understood, according to major new international research that challenges conventional assumptions about the limits of human heat tolerance. The Stanford Universityled study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, examined how age affects the body's ability to cope with combinations of heat and humidity and then modelled exposure under different levels of global warming. Researchers found people aged 60 and over can reach what scientists call "uncompensable heat stress" at conditions corresponding to temperatures around 4.7°C to 7.5°C lower than the limits estimated for younger adults, depending on humidity. Uncompensable heat stress occurs when the body can no longer lose enough heat to the surrounding environment to maintain a stable core temperature. It does not mean every older person will immediately develop heatstroke once a particular temperature is reached. Rather, it represents a physiological threshold beyond which prolonged exposure becomes increasingly dangerous because the body's normal cooling mechanisms can no longer adequately compensate. For Australia, where heatwaves already represent a serious health threat, the findings raise important questions about whether existing warnings sufficiently reflect the vulnerability of older people. Why Age Changes Our Ability to Cope The human body has
several mechanisms for keeping its core temperature within a safe range. When we become hot, blood flow to the skin increases, allowing heat to escape from the body's core. Sweating provides another vital defence, with evaporation helping remove heat from the skin. These mechanisms can become less effective with age. Older adults generally have a reduced ability to sweat and can experience changes in cardiovascular function that make it more difficult to increase blood flow to the skin. Chronic medical conditions can add to the problem, while some medications can affect sweating, circulation, hydration or the body's response to extreme temperatures. This means two people standing in exactly the same hot and humid environment may experience very different levels of physiological stress depending on their age and health. Previous Estimates May Have Missed the Risk A major concern identified by the researchers is that many previous assessments of human heat tolerance relied heavily on physiological limits established using healthy younger adults. Those thresholds were then often applied across the wider population. The new research suggests doing so can substantially underestimate the danger facing older people. Lead researcher Qinqin Kong of Stanford University and colleagues assessed heat-tolerance limits for young, middleaged and older adults before modelling where and how frequently those limits could be exceeded around the world under warming scenarios ranging
from 1.5°C to 4°C above pre-industrial temperatures. Once age-specific physiological differences were incorporated, the projected exposure of older populations to uncompensable heat increased dramatically. Hundreds of Millions Could Face Dangerous Heat The scale of the projected exposure is particularly concerning. Under a world warmed by 1.5°C, the researchers estimated around 22 per cent of people aged 60 and over could experience uncompensable heat conditions for at least 30 days each year. That represents approximately 290 million older people globally. By comparison, less than 1 per cent of younger adults were projected to experience those conditions for the same duration under that warming scenario. The difference illustrates why population ageing and climate change need to be considered together. Global temperatures are rising at the same time as many countries are experiencing substantial growth in their older populations. The combination means more people could be physiologically vulnerable to heat at the same time as dangerous conditions become more frequent. The study identified tropical and subtropical regions as facing particularly significant risks. Australia is not exempt, with researchers highlighting very hot regions including the Top End and Kimberley as areas of concern. Heat Risk is More Than the Temperature One of the most important messages from the research is that heat danger cannot be judged by the temperature displayed on a
thermometer alone. Humidity matters enormously. Sweating cools the body primarily when sweat evaporates. When humidity is high, evaporation becomes less efficient, reducing the body's ability to shed heat. A humid day with a lower air temperature can therefore impose greater physiological stress than people might expect. Sun exposure, wind, clothing, physical activity, access to shade and the temperature inside homes also influence heat exposure. For older Australians, particularly those living alone or without effective home cooling, prolonged hot weather can become dangerous even when conditions do not appear extraordinary by Australian summer standards. Why This Matters in the Northern Rivers The findings have particular relevance for communities across the Northern Rivers, where summers can combine high temperatures with substantial humidity. Older residents may spend extended periods at home, and not every household has effective air-conditioning or the financial capacity to run cooling continuously during prolonged hot weather. Regional communities can also face additional challenges, including greater distances to medical services, power disruptions during severe weather and social isolation among some older residents. The study did not specifically measure heat tolerance in Northern Rivers residents, so its global modelling should not be interpreted as establishing a single local "danger temperature". Instead, it reinforces the need to consider age,
humidity, individual health and duration of exposure when assessing heat risk. Heat Illness Can Escalate Quickly Heat-related illness ranges from relatively mild symptoms to a lifethreatening emergency. Warning signs can include heavy sweating, weakness, headache, dizziness, nausea, muscle cramps, thirst and fainting. Heatstroke is far more serious and occurs when the body's temperature regulation fails. Symptoms can include very high body temperature, confusion, altered behaviour, loss of consciousness or seizures. Heatstroke requires urgent medical attention. Older people may not always recognise how overheated or dehydrated they have become, making regular contact during heatwaves particularly important. Checking on older relatives, friends and neighbours can therefore be more than a gesture of goodwill during extreme weather. Rethinking Heatwave Warnings The researchers argue the findings support more agespecific heat action plans and warning systems. A general warning based largely on conditions considered dangerous to a healthy young adult may not adequately communicate the risk facing an older person. Public health responses could increasingly need to account for differences in age and physiological vulnerability, while communities may need better access to cooling. The research also highlights the importance of urban planning, shaded public spaces, well-designed housing and reliable electricity as temperatures rise. Air-conditioning can
provide critical protection during extreme heat, but relying entirely on private cooling creates difficulties for households facing high electricity costs or homes that are difficult to cool. A Changing Risk for an Ageing Population The study does not predict exactly how an individual person will respond to a particular temperature. Health, fitness, medications, acclimatisation, housing and other factors all influence heat tolerance. What it does demonstrate is that age matters considerably when scientists calculate human heat limits. Applying a threshold developed primarily from younger adults to everyone can create a misleading impression of safety. As Australia prepares for increasingly severe periods of extreme heat, the implications extend beyond individual behaviour. Emergency services, governments, aged-care providers, families and communities may all need to reconsider when older people should receive warnings and assistance. For Australians aged over 60, the message is equally important: don't assume conditions need to reach record-breaking temperatures before heat becomes a health concern. In an ageing population facing a warming climate, recognising that vulnerability earlier could ultimately save lives.

Older people and anyone concerned about their ability to cope with extreme heat should discuss their individual health risks with a GP or qualified healthcare professional.

Fire Ant Threat Puts Nurseries on Alert By Ian Rogers Australia’s nursery industry is being urged to strengthen biosecurity measures following further detections of red imported fire ants in northern New South Wales.
Greenlife Industry Australia (GIA) says the invasive pest poses both a serious biosecurity threat and an operational risk for nurseries moving plants, soil, growing media, equipment and other materials through supply chains.
GIA CEO Sean Cole said nurseries played an important role in preventing further spread by checking incoming materials, following movement requirements and maintaining strong on-site biosecurity.
Businesses are encouraged to confirm where plants and growing media originate, inspect incoming deliveries, keep vehicles and equipment clean, maintain accurate records and immediately report suspected fire ants. Movement controls
in affected areas can also require permits, certificates or supporting documentation before regulated materials are transported. Anyone who suspects fire ants should not disturb the nest and report the sighting
immediately. In NSW, reports can be made by calling 1800 680 244. Further information is available from Greenlife Industry Australia and the National Fire Ant Eradication Program.
NRLX Steers Surge to 678.2c/kg Strong competition across steers and heifers helped lift the NRLX PRIME cattle market, with 1,456 head sold by weight and almost $1.93 million changing hands. The Northern Rivers Livestock Exchange PRIME cattle sale opened September with strong results, as steers climbed to 678.2c/kg and heifers reached 570.2c/kg. At the September 2 sale,
1,456 cattle across 613 lots were sold by weight, representing 452,145kg of liveweight and generating $1,931,177.56. The overall market averaged 427.1c/kg and $1,326.36 per head, with individual returns reaching $3,779.27. Steers Lead the Market Steers were the standout category, with 417 head across 183 lots averaging an impressive 553.2c/kg
and topping the entire sale at 678.2c/kg. They averaged $1,247.66 per head and reached $2,241.47, generating $520,273.38. Heifers formed the largest category numerically, with 541 head across 192 lots. They averaged 461.9c/ kg, reached 570.2c/kg and averaged $1,041.15 per head. The hei er offering generated $563,260.36. Cows accounted for 399
head, averaging 355.7c/ kg and reaching 405.2c/ kg. Returns averaged $1,717.10 and topped at $2,674.35, with cows generating the largest category turnover at $685,124.65. Bulls Reach $3,779 The 47 bulls averaged 356.2c/kg and topped at 418.2c/kg. Despite their smaller numbers, bulls produced the highest individual dollar return,
reaching $3,779.27 and averaging $2,139.73. Nine bullocks averaged 373.6c/kg, reaching 434.2c/kg and $3,132 per head. A further 40 vealer bulls averaged 429.8c/kg and topped at 556.2c/kg, with returns reaching $1,476.26. Three bobby calves sold by weight averaged 219.8c/kg and $161.18 per head. Two additional cattle
were reported separately on a per-head basis: one bobby calf sold for $70 and one vealer bull for $90. Overall, the September 2 statistics show strong rates through the steer and heifer sections, with the 1,456-head weighted yarding approaching $2 million in gross value By The Northern Rivers Rural News Desk
Dry Conditions Shape Warwick Livestock Market As Yardings Ease Smaller cattle and sheep numbers reflected tightening feed conditions across the district, but strong feeder competition and an eye-catching Scottish Highland offering provided plenty of interest. Dry conditions and tightening pasture availability continued to influence livestock movements through Warwick and surrounding districts, with reduced numbers presented across both the cattle and sheep and lamb markets during the latest week of selling. The weekly cattle sale attracted 961 head, while the sheep and lamb offering fell to 603 head, as producers weighed increasingly limited feed supplies against strong prices available across several livestock categories. Additional sales involving lighter feeder and trade cattle were also conducted during the week, while an unusual offering of Scottish Highland cattle provided another point of interest and produced several impressive results. The mixed quality and condition of livestock coming forward reflected the difficult seasonal conditions being experienced by some producers, with limited pasture availability encouraging vendors to
reduce numbers. Despite the smaller yardings, demand remained strong for suitable feeder and younger cattle. Feeder Steers Push Beyond 600c/kg Feeder cattle were among the strongest performers. Feeder steers averaged 512.7c/kg and reached 608.2c/kg, generating returns between $1809.73 and $2465 per head. Feeder heifers were also well supported, averaging 469.5c/kg and reaching a top of 544.2c/kg, with returns ranging from $1592.05 to $2254.06. Vealer steers recorded the highest average price among the reported cattle categories at 532.8c/kg, while also reaching 608.2c/ kg. Returns ranged between $1123.69 and $1617.11. Vealer heifers averaged 473.5c/kg and reached 540.2c/kg, returning $1022.46 to $1345.77. Yearling heifers averaged 480.6c/kg, topping at 542.2c/kg and returning between $1465.79 and $2079.06. Yearling steers averaged 467.2c/kg and reached 570.2c/kg, producing returns from $1283.08 to $1795.50. Bulls Reach Almost $5000 The heavier cattle offering also produced solid results. Bulls averaged 425.8c/kg,
reaching a top of 504.2c/ kg and returning between $2539.75 and $4960.61 per head. Cows averaged 347.5c/ kg and topped at 426.2c/ kg, with returns ranging between $1815.74 and $3221.61. Heifers averaged 390.1c/ kg and reached 508.2c/kg, returning from $1669.73 to $2588.83. Manufacturing steers averaged 388.9c/kg and topped at 410c/kg, while the broader steer category averaged 449.2c/kg and reached 494.2c/kg. Steer returns ranged from $2864.69 to an impressive $3619.84 per head. Across the entire 961head cattle yarding, the reported average return was $1492.49 per head. Scottish Highlands Steal The Spotlight Adding some colour to the week's cattle trading was a specialty offering of Scottish Highland cattle. Registered cows were offered alongside heifers, steers and cow-and-calf units, attracting buyer interest and producing some standout prices. A Highland cow-and-calf unit sold for $5000, while cows returned between $1700 and $2750. Steers ranged from $900 to $1800, but the strongest result came from the Highland heifers, which
sold from $4000 to a remarkable top of $8600. The specialty offering provided a contrast to the larger commercial cattle yarding and demonstrated the premium that can be achieved for particular animals in a more specialised market. Smaller Sheep And Lamb Offering The APL McDougall sheep and lamb sale attracted 603 head, with stock sourced from the South West, Goondiwindi, Tenterfield, Western Downs and local districts. The yarding contained smaller runs across the different livestock categories, limiting opportunities for some buyers looking to assemble larger, consistent lines. Heavy export lambs were generally firm to slightly easier, while better trade lambs remained firm. Lighter, unfinished trade lambs and older lightweight types experienced softer competition. The sale was heavily weighted towards lambs, with the yarding comprising approximately 90 per cent lambs and 10 per cent mutton. Lambs reached a top of $324 and averaged $206.42, down $16 per head from the previous sale. Hoggets topped at $233 and averaged $153.66, falling $61 per head, while
ram lambs reached $180 and averaged $126.06, down $40. Wethers topped at and averaged $180, down $26. Ewes bucked the softer trend, reaching an impressive $277 and averaging $169.12, an increase of $10 per head. Overall, the 603 sheep and lambs averaged $188.80 per head, down $22 on the previous sale. Heavy Lambs Produce Strong Returns Several vendors achieved strong prices for wellfinished lambs. Archer Pastoral Co sold White Suffolk-cross lambs weighing 71.25kg to Thomas Foods for $320, while 61.6kg lambs reached the market top of $324. The vendor also sold ewes to Thomas Foods for $277. Darryl Martin sold 60kg Dorper lambs to Leslie Lamb for $322, with 51.2kg lambs making $288. Brayburn Performance Horses also reached $324 for Southdown-cross lambs weighing both 79.3kg and 66.6kg, while 65kg hoggets sold for $233. Glen and Anna Dedini achieved $289 for 49.2kg Dorper lambs sold to Leslie Lamb, while another pen at the same weight sold to Tonys Supa Meats for $279. Balfour F/T sold 50.7kg Dorper lambs for $281 and 45kg lambs for $250.
Pig And Poultry Numbers Increase Pig numbers increased during the week, with a greater proportion of lighter store pigs coming forward. Sows sold from $130 to $290, boars from $130 to $160, baconers from $220 to $238 and pork pigs from $150 to $172. Store pigs ranged from $70 to $176. Poultry numbers were also higher. Ganders reached $40, roosters $30, hens $75 and guinea fowl $55. Groups of ducklings sold to $70, chicks reached $30 and groups of turkeys sold to $65. The smaller overall livestock yardings demonstrated the continuing influence of seasonal conditions on producer decisions, but the week's results also showed that buyers remained prepared to compete strongly for suitable cattle and quality finished livestock. With feeder steers breaking through 600c/kg, heavy lambs reaching $324, ewes topping at $277 and specialty Highland heifers selling to $8600, there was still plenty of strength across selected sections of the Warwick market.

Farmers Seek Water Reform Balance The National Farmers’ Federation wants the Water Act review to give greater weight to regional communities, agricultural production and practical environmental improvements By Ian Rogers The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) has called for the Water Act review to deliver a more balanced approach to river health, agricultural production and the future of regional communities. In its submission to the independent review of the Water Act 2007, the federation argues that environmental progress should be measured by results rather than water recovery volumes alone. NFF Water Committee Chair Malcolm Holm said the review provided an opportunity to assess almost two decades of reform and apply the lessons learned. “The Water Act has shaped the management of the Murray-Darling Basin for nearly 20 years. This review is an important opportunity to take stock of what’s worked, what’s not, and how we deliver better outcomes into the future,” Mr Holm said. “Farmers support healthy rivers and healthy ecosystems. We rely on them. But a healthy Basin is not simply a question of adding more water.”
Practical Measures for River Health The NFF submission calls for greater attention to the underlying causes of environmental decline, alongside water management. Its priorities include improving water quality, managing invasive species such as carp, undertaking targeted environmental works, improving connectivity and operating river systems more effectively. Mr Holm said these measures could support environmental improvements without
placing further financial pressure on Basin communities. “After years of reviews, reform and water recovery, it’s clear that future progress requires a more sophisticated approach based on outcomes, robust science and targeted action,” he said. The federation also wants stronger scientific foundations, transparent decisions and clear objectives to guide future policy. It argues that assessments should consider which measures
will achieve the best combined results for rivers, communities and agricultural production. Regional Impacts Must Count A central recommendation is the establishment of a Social and Economic Resilience Plan, supported by greater emphasis on socio-economic outcomes throughout the Act. The NFF says decisions about water management must properly consider regional jobs, agricultural production, local economies and community wellbeing
alongside environmental objectives. “Farmers and regional communities should have confidence that the consequences of policy decisions are being fully considered and fairly weighed in decisionmaking processes,” Mr Holm said. He said farming communities had already adapted to substantial changes, invested in their businesses and continued producing food and fibre through prolonged uncertainty. “Any future reforms must acknowledge that contribution and avoid repeating mistakes that have had profound social and economic impacts.” The submission also calls for recognition of the longstanding water management responsibilities of states and territories, including their direct relationships with communities and water users. Certainty for Water Users The NFF wants future reforms to operate within established water entitlement frameworks and maintain the
reliability of existing entitlements. It argues that protecting confidence in those arrangements is important for farmers, regional communities and investors. The federation also calls for coordination with other major reform processes, including the Murray-Darling Basin Authority’s Basin Plan Review and the Productivity Commission’s Inquiry into National Water Reform. Its position is that these processes should contribute to a consistent policy framework rather than create further uncertainty. Mr Holm said the review offered an opportunity to support healthy rivers while maintaining productive agriculture and strong regional communities. “It is important that we get this right. Farmers deserve a fair and balanced system that delivers practical environmental outcomes while maintaining confidence in the future of agriculture and regional Australia,” he said.
Farm Production Eases as Costs and Dry Conditions Bite
By Jeff Gibbs
Australian agricultural production is forecast to remain near historic highs in 2026–27, despite a five per cent decline in value and challenging seasonal conditions across northern New South Wales and Queensland. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) expects agricultural production to be worth $99.4 billion in 2026–27, down from the record $104.6 billion achieved in 2025–26. Including fisheries and forestry, production is forecast at $105.6 billion. Agricultural exports are also forecast to decline five per cent to $76.3 billion, or $80.8 billion
when fisheries and forestry are included. Despite the decline, the $99.4 billion agricultural production forecast would still represent the secondhighest result on record. ABARES Acting Executive Director David Galeano said the outlook had improved over winter following better-thanexpected rainfall across south-eastern Australia and a smaller impact from high fertiliser prices on planted area and crop yields than previously anticipated. That improvement, however, is far from uniform. Northern NSW Faces Tougher Outlook While South Australia, Victoria and southern NSW have benefited from favourable winter
conditions, northern NSW and Queensland remain considerably more challenging. ABARES says winter rainfall in these areas has generally only been sufficient to support delayed crop establishment and below-average yield expectations, with minimal improvement in stored soil moisture. The contrast is reflected in national production forecasts. Winter crop production is expected to decline 12 per cent to 61 million tonnes, although that would still make 2026–27 Australia's fourth-largest winter crop on record. The forecast represents a significant improvement from the outlook in June, when ABARES expected
winter production of only 54.5 million tonnes. Summer cropping faces greater pressure. Production is forecast to fall 25 per cent to 3.4 million tonnes, 11 per cent below the 10-year average, while the area planted is expected to decline 17 per cent to 1.1 million hectares. Sorghum production alone is forecast to fall 26 per cent to just over 1.9 million tonnes. Chickpeas face an even sharper contraction, with national production forecast to fall 52 per cent to just over one million tonnes, reflecting reduced planting and lower expected yields across northern NSW and Queensland. ABARES has also
warned that the current El Niño could contribute to lower spring rainfall in parts of Australia, although its eventual impact remains uncertain. Livestock Value Forecast Lower The gross value of livestock and livestock products is forecast to fall three per cent to $47.5 billion. Lower values from cattle, sheep and pig slaughter are expected to outweigh increased values from milk, wool and poultry production. Total crop production value is forecast to decline six per cent to $51.9 billion, with reduced production outweighing higher expected prices. For producers, however, one of the most significant
figures is profitability. Average broadacre farm business profit is forecast to fall 39 per cent to $133,000 per farm during 2026–27 as lower revenue combines with continued high operating costs. Even after that substantial decline, forecast profits remain around six per cent above the 10-year average. The latest figures present a mixed picture for Australian agriculture: national production remains historically valuable and southern cropping prospects have improved markedly, but producers across northern NSW and Queensland continue to face a much tougher combination of dry conditions, lower production prospects and elevated input costs.

$1.2m Tamworth Lab Targets Major Crop Pests A new specialist insect research laboratory will strengthen NSW biosecurity and help farmers tackle pesticide resistance in some of agriculture’s most damaging pests. Construction has begun on a new $1.2 million pest insect research laboratory in Tamworth, designed to strengthen Australia's capacity to detect and manage insecticide resistance affecting major agricultural industries. The purpose-built facility will support research across cotton, grains, horticulture and dairy production, with particular attention on pests capable of developing resistance to commonly used agricultural chemicals. NSW Department of
45
Primary Industries and Regional Development entomologist Dr Lisa Bird and three specialist technicians will work from the new laboratory. Their research will include major caterpillar pests such as fall armyworm, corn earworm, cotton bollworm and cluster caterpillar, along with spider mites and leaffeeding insects including aphids, thrips and mirids. Importantly, the facility is expected to become Australia's leading provider of resistance testing for fall armyworm, a destructive pest capable of affecting grain, horticultural, meat and dairy production systems. Researchers will investigate how insects
develop resistance and cross-resistance to agricultural chemicals, assess their susceptibility to existing and emerging crop protection products, and develop more sustainable integrated pest management approaches. Large-scale surveillance undertaken through Tamworth will also help identify emerging resistance problems and potential control failures, allowing growers and agronomists to adjust pestmanagement strategies. NSW Agriculture Minister Tara Moriarty said modern research infrastructure was important to maintaining productive and competitive farming industries. “By improving our understanding of pest
resistance and control options, this facility will help equip growers with practical information they can use to protect crops,” Ms Moriarty said. The laboratory forms part of a previously announced $100 million boost to primary industries research, including capital works designed to modernise research facilities across NSW. The State Government says the project also sits within more than $1 billion invested in biosecurity, while the new laboratory will provide modern equipment and increased capacity for research benefiting growers in NSW and Australia's wider cropping industries.

Tips & Ideas Shade That Shines
Spring is the perfect time to transform the Northern Rivers’ dim garden corners with lush foliage, subtle flowers and plants suited to our warm, humid climate By Jeff Gibbs
or filling its central crown because this encourages rot.
Shade is not wasted space. In the Northern Rivers, it can become one of the coolest, greenest and most inviting parts of the garden.
Maidenhair fern brings delicate texture but requires consistent moisture. Keep it away from hot wind and harsh afternoon sunlight.
Spring provides an excellent planting window. The soil is warming, new growth is beginning and young plants have time to establish before summer’s heat and heavy rain arrive. Success, however, begins with understanding that not all shade is the same.
Native ginger, Alpinia caerulea, suits a larger, moist, shaded garden bed and produces attractive upright foliage. Native violet, commonly sold as Viola hederacea or related forms, creates a soft groundcover in damp, lightly shaded positions.
Read the shade first Bright shade receives plenty of indirect light but little direct sunshine. Dappled shade moves throughout the day beneath an open tree canopy. Part shade usually receives several hours of gentle morning sun, while deep shade beside a building or beneath dense trees may receive almost none. Watch the area from morning until late afternoon before buying plants. Also check the soil after rain. Shade beneath trees can be surprisingly dry because established roots compete for moisture. Conversely, a sheltered corner beside the house may remain wet for days.
Cordyline rubra adds height and rich foliage colour. Australian hoya, Hoya australis, can climb through a sheltered position with bright, filtered light and good airflow.
from their central cups. Impatiens produce generous colour in bright shade where moisture is reliable. Coleus is grown for its beautifully patterned foliage and responds well to regular tip-pruning. Gardenias need bright light or morning sun rather than deep shade. In a suitable position, they reward gardeners with glossy leaves and richly scented flowers. Camellias and azaleas can also perform in protected, well-drained part shade. However, they may struggle in waterlogged soil or positions exposed to fierce reflected heat. Plant properly in spring
Dianella species are dependable, strappy native plants for dappled or part shade. Choose a locally appropriate species or cultivar because mature size and moisture tolerance can vary considerably.
Water every plant thoroughly before removing it from its container. Dig a hole wider than the root ball but no deeper. Gently loosen tightly circling roots and position the plant at the same soil level it occupied in the pot.
Colour beneath the canopy
Instead of packing fertiliser and rich compost into one small planting hole, improve the wider garden bed with wellcomposted organic matter.
Reliable plants for leafy shade
Clivias are reliable beneath trees and along shaded sides of buildings. Their dark green leaves and orange, yellow or cream flowers brighten spring gardens. Once established, they tolerate periods of dryness better than many other lush shade plants.
Bird’s nest fern, Asplenium australasicum, is an excellent native choice for sheltered shade. Its broad, glossy fronds create a strong subtropical effect. Give it filtered light, organic matter and good drainage. Avoid burying
Bromeliads provide dramatic shapes and longlasting colour. They are especially useful where tree roots make digging difficult, as many varieties perform well in containers. Position them securely and regularly flush old water
Water deeply after planting and apply mulch about five to seven centimetres thick. Keep mulch away from stems, trunks and fern crowns to reduce the risk of rot. New plants need regular attention through their first summer. Shade does not eliminate the need for watering. However, constantly saturated soil can suffocate roots and kill plants that otherwise enjoy
moist conditions. Feed for steady growth For most non-native foliage and flowering plants, use a controlled-release fertiliser suited to the plant type. Follow the label rate, apply it to moist soil and water the area afterwards. Gardenias, camellias and azaleas benefit from a fertiliser formulated for acid-loving plants. Yellow leaves do not always mean that a plant needs more food. Waterlogging, unsuitable soil pH and damaged roots can cause similar symptoms.
than complete fertilisers. They do not necessarily replace a balanced plant food. Problems to watch The Northern Rivers’ combination of warmth, humidity and limited airflow can encourage fungal diseases. Allow sufficient space between plants, direct water towards the soil and remove badly affected foliage. Avoid repeatedly wetting leaves late in the evening because they may remain damp overnight.
Use a low-phosphorus fertiliser labelled for Australian native plants when feeding phosphorussensitive natives. More is not better. Excess fertiliser can burn roots, encourage weak growth and wash into drains and waterways.
Check new shoots, stems and leaf undersides for scale, mealybugs, aphids and mites. Slugs and snails can quickly damage young ferns, impatiens and other soft new growth. Start with hand removal, barriers and good garden hygiene before considering pesticides.
Seaweed solutions may help plants recover from transplanting, but they are generally considered soil conditioners or tonics rather
Water held in bromeliad cups can provide mosquito breeding sites. Flush the cups regularly with fresh water and follow current
local mosquito-control advice. Care is also needed when gardening around children and pets. Clivias, azaleas and several other common ornamental plants can be toxic when eaten. Some plant sap may irritate the skin or eyes. Wear gloves when handling unfamiliar plants, supervise young children and check whether a species is safe before planting it near play areas, pathways or animal enclosures. A successful shade garden is created through observation rather than guesswork. Match each plant to the available light, soil moisture and growing space. Feed gently, maintain airflow and watch for pests before they become established. With thoughtful spring planting, an overlooked corner can become a cool, layered retreat that remains attractive through the humid Northern Rivers summer.

SPORTS & SPORT RESULTS

Coffs Harbour Snappers advanced to the Mid North Coast grand final on Saturday after a 36-15 win over the Grafton Redmen. Shattered and exhausted Grafton players wrestled with their emotions after the fulltime whistle in the wake of what only can be described as a contest full of tension and drama. Grafton were on the back end of a 19-6 penalty count which compromised the flow of the game.

Pinned in their own half for large periods of the game, Grafton conceded penalty after penalty which resulted in the referee showing a yellow card, reducing the Redmen to 14-players. When they finally gained possession Grafton threw everything at the Snappers defence, however, the home side continued to shut down Grafton’s dangerous backline with line-speed and scrambling defence. Snappers will now play Port Pirates in the decider in Port Macquarie next Saturday.
Water Women Campout Brings Ocean Community to Ballina By Jeff Gibbs Ballina’s coastline will become a meeting place for women passionate about the ocean and environment when the third annual Water Women Campout takes over Flat Rock Tent Park from September 11–13, 2026. Hosted by Surfers for Climate, the immersive weekend is designed to strengthen a growing network of women who are leading and nurturing change within their communities and ecosystems. More than 100 women are expected to come together for a program combining coastal connection, surfing, First
Nations cultural learning, leadership development and environmental advocacy. At its heart, Water Women is about much more than getting together for a weekend beside the beach. Surfers for Climate developed the campout as a place where women who love the ocean can gather, learn, find inspiration and become more engaged in protecting the environment. The organisation describes the event as an opportunity to build a community of grounded “Water Women” and ocean guardians, guided by the philosophy that “nothing in nature thrives alone.” Culture, Connection and the Coast
First Nations knowledge will also form an important part of the weekend, with the event philosophy guided by ancestral wisdom around caring for Country and listening to First Nations women. The setting itself promises to be a major part of the experience, with beachfront camping behind the dunes providing the backdrop for three days of activities. Previous Water Women gatherings have featured prominent waterwomen including Laura Enever, Lauren Hill, Pauline Menczer and Tully White, along with noseriding workshops involving Surfers for Climate cofounder Belinda Baggs. Past programs have
combined surfing with creative and scientific workshops, morning wellness activities, native food feasts and Saturday evening fire song circles. Bigger Program for 2026 This year’s Ballina campout will build on those previous gatherings with a diverse program spanning environmental action, culture, food and wellbeing. Activities outlined for 2026 include a Water and Fire ceremony, seaweed bioplastic workshop, Building Movements workshop, yoga and a sustainable fishing discussion. There will also be a feast with Mindy Woods, a cacao ceremony and other activities across the
weekend. The combination reflects the broader purpose of Water Women — creating a space where participants can connect with the coast while developing knowledge, relationships and ideas that can continue beyond the campout itself. For the Northern Rivers, the event also places Ballina’s coastal environment at the centre of conversations about ocean protection, community leadership and environmental advocacy. Three Days to Reconnect The Water Women Campout will be held from Friday, September 11 to Sunday, September 13, 2026, at Flat Rock Tent Park, Ballina.
For participants, the weekend offers a chance to step away from everyday routines, camp beside the ocean, surf, learn and spend time with other women who share a connection to the coast and environment. More importantly, organisers hope those connections will continue long after the tents come down. The philosophy behind the gathering is simple: strong environmental movements are also built through strong communities. For more information, Water Women can be followed through @water. women.collective, with bookings available through Surfers for Climate.
Skinner produced the best result of the day on Sunday, September 6, finishing two shots clear of Stephen Shephard, who secured second place with a net score of 28. There was plenty of competition away from the main prize as well, with T. Jenkins finding good touch on the greens to take home the putting trophy with 17 putts. Jenkins also enjoyed a successful morning in the Nearest the Pin competition, claiming honours on both the 8th and 11th holes. G. Randall was another double winner, taking the NTP prizes on the 9th and 14th, while Monthly Medal winner Skinner added to his haul by being closest on the 10th. M. Gooding claimed the 13th, J. Rankin took the 15th and R. Francis
enjoyed an accurate morning with victories on both the 16th and 18th holes. D. Hampson rounded out the NTP results by taking the 17th. Meanwhile, M. McCray collected the players’ draw. The focus now shifts to next Sunday’s competition, sponsored by DIY Home Timber and Hardware Casino. Players will contest a two-person Ambrose on the bottom 10 holes, providing a change of format and another opportunity for some friendly team competition. Visitors are welcome to play, with hit-off available between 6.30am and 7.30am.
!"#$%&'()&*+%& BALLINA NINE HOLE GOLF Ballina Nine Hole Golf enjoyed a gorgeous day on the course on Thursday, September 3, with the dry conditions helping the balls run well. Emmy Inglis led the field with an impressive score of 21, followed by Narelle Warren and Maria Donnelly, who both finished on 17. There was no nearest-thepin winner in Division 1, while Bea Tarlao claimed the Division 2 honour. Results: 1st Emmy Inglis 21; 2nd Narelle Warren 17; 3rd Maria Donnelly 17. NTP: Division 1 – Nil; Division 2 – Bea Tarlao. HANRAHAN FIRES 25 POINTS AS SPRING GOLF BEGINS IN BALLINA
Spring arrived in spectacular fashion for the Ballina Nine Hole golfers, with Robyn Hanrahan producing a brilliant 25-point performance to dominate Tuesday’s opening round of the new season. Seventeen players headed onto the back nine on Tuesday, September 1, greeted by almost perfect golfing conditions — sunshine, cool temperatures and birds providing the soundtrack for the first competition of spring. But it was Robyn Hanrahan who really gave everyone something to talk about. Hanrahan delivered an outstanding round, amassing 25 points to secure a commanding victory and put five points between herself and third place.
Susan Frazier led the chase with an excellent 21 points to take second, while Liz Strang continued the strong scoring with 20 points for third. There was also plenty happening in the specialty competitions. Vicki Turner showed impressive accuracy to claim the Division 1 Nearest the Pin, while Maria Donnelly took the Division 2 NTP honours. Then came one of the shots of the day. Debbie Dankworth found her touch on the green, sinking a superb effort to take out the Longest Putt competition and add another highlight to an enjoyable spring outing. The day also provided an opportunity to recognise success beyond the Nine Hole competition.
A special congratulations went to Rachel Clegg, who was crowned the August Monthly Medal winner in the Women’s 18-hole competition. With 17 players enjoying beautiful conditions, strong scoring and plenty of friendly competition, spring golf could hardly have asked for a better beginning at Ballina. And after opening the season with 25 points, Hanrahan has certainly set the standard for everyone else to chase. SKINNER TAKES CASINO SOCIAL GOLF MONTHLY MEDAL Simon Skinner has claimed the Casino Social Golf Monthly Medal with a sharp net 26, leading another competitive Sunday morning of golf.

Sea Eagles swoop on premiership
By Tim Howard
Rugby league fans with tickets for the southern end of C.ex Coffs International Stadium to witness Sunday’s Group 2 grand final might have felt shortchanged for try-scoring action. They saw just two of the seven tries scored in the game at their end as the Macksville Sea Eagles swooped on the premiership, beating Woolgoolga 24-14. But the tries they saw close up – the first and last at that end – were worth the price of admission. The first, a classic from Woolgoolga fullback Dane O’Hehir, brought his team back into the contest early in the game after the Sea Eagles had opened up a handy lead. But the final score of the game, finished by Macksville powerhouse centre Joe Borg, was one for the ages. Protecting a 20-4 halftime lead, Macksville had been kept scoreless in the second half as Woolgoolga, with the wind at their backs, pounded their line. Two tries had reduced the deficit to 20-14 and, with a few minutes left in the game, the Sea Horses were parked on the Macksville tryline searching for the equaliser. A penalty for the Sea Horses looked to have given them the chance to break the defence one last time. It wasn’t to be. Macksville swooped on a dropped pass and quickly halfback Rhiley Maxwell and then winger Bailey Pickvance sliced through the scrambling defence. The real danger came when one of the Sea Eagles’ best, fullback Pierre Monteil, slipped into dummy half and ran the ball across field to where the defence was thinnest. He looped a ball to the rampaging Borg, who

hurtled towards the corner and dived over untouched. With a stiff breeze in his face that had made things tricky for the kickers all game, Monteil’s conversion did not even make the distance, but his team was in an unassailable position. With a minute left on the clock, the players decided that was enough and were shaking hands as fans swarmed onto the field and officials prepared for the post-match presentations. It was a game worthy of a grand final, with Macksville opening what looked like a matchwinning lead in the first half, only to see the relentless Woolgoolga outfit mount a stirring comeback to come within six points. And the referee denied both teams a try. O’Hehir lost out in the first half when he snatched a bomb over Monteil and surged over the line, only for the Sea Eagles fullback to somehow steal the ball as the two players tumbled to earth. Pickvance was denied when a pass he received before diving over in the corner was ruled forward. For the first 10 minutes, both teams pounded each other in a traditional softening-up period. But Sea Eagles five-eighth Brodie Bartlett was alert to any opportunity. He scored the first try of the game, virtually picking powerhouse centre Shayde Perham’s pocket when the centre twisted to offload a pass about 30m from his

own line. Instead of finding a support player, the pass found Bartlett, who snatched the ball and sprinted away to score about 10m to the right of the posts. Maxwell missed the conversion. Macksville made a key intervention soon after, bringing big prop Ulysses Roberts onto the field. It was a touching moment, with the players wearing black armbands in memory of his grandfather, who had died during the week. Roberts responded magnificently, a massive surge with his first touch of the ball setting his standard for the game. Bartlett was again in the thick of the action midway through the half when he set up his team’s next try. Showing strength and sleight of hand, he dummied and bounced out of a tackle before delivering a pass into the hands of powerful backrower Frank Winterstein, who was running into space. Winterstein was able to run around behind the posts
to give Maxwell the best chance of converting. He succeeded and Macksville had skipped out to a 10-0 lead. O’Hehir scored the first of his two tries just minutes later when some slick backline passing put him on the outside of Borg, who could not match him for pace, and he touched down a few metres in from touch. The fate of the kick was an indicator of the day the Sea Horses had to endure. It looked good off the boot as it battled the wind, but hit the posts and bounced out, denying them what would have been a handy two points. A couple of minutes later, O’Hehir was denied his second try and, to compound the decision, the Woolgoolga player attempting to catch the dropout knocked the ball into the arms of a teammate in front of him, forcing an offside penalty. Gifted an attacking opportunity, the ball found its way to Bartlett, who put Borg into space. He charged at the line and,
as the defence hauled him to ground, flicked a miracle ball to his right for Pickvance to dive over in the corner. The Sea Eagles weren’t finished, turning 14-4 into a match-winning lead late in the half through some individual brilliance from Monteil. With not much on about 30m out from the Woolgoolga line, he skipped out from dummy half, put a delightful chip over the top and raced off in pursuit. The ball did what rugby league balls sometimes do, bouncing alarmingly away from fullback O’Hehir but into the arms of Monteil, who grabbed it and touched down under the sticks. Fittingly, the final play of the half was a towering kick that held up in the wind, which Monteil chased and caught cleanly while looking over his shoulder as the ball tumbled alarmingly from the sky.
In the second half, the effect of the breeze surging down the ground became apparent as Woolgoolga laid siege to the Macksville line. Sea Horses hooker Emanuel Sutton inspired his team with a powerful try, surging over under the posts from close range. Fired up, they were in again a few minutes later when O’Hehir scored his second with a swerving run that put him over about 15m to the left of the posts. The conversion was unsuccessful but, at 20-14, the game was on. But Woolgoolga could not crack the tough Sea Eagles defence and were not helped by some sloppy execution on last-tackle plays near the line. The most grievous of these was the dropped ball a metre out that handed Macksville possession and led to Borg’s match-sealing try. After the game officials presented 25-year-old French player Monteil, with the Player of the Match award. He was one of three French players the Sea Eagles signed in 2026 In the other grades, Sawtell demolished the Sea Eagles 32-0 in reserve grade, the Coffs Harbour Comets won the women’s tackle 20-12 and Nambucca downed Macksville 28-20 in the under-18s.
