Council’s not against a new pool TWEED SHIRE Council General Manager Troy Green says council is not opposed to a 50-metre pool, but wants residents to understand the financial implications of delivering the proposed fully integrated indoor sports and aquatic centre. “Nobody at this Council is against a pool,” Mr Green said.

He said the key question facing councillors on August 20 was “when we deliver them, how we pay for them, and who pays”. Council estimates the fully integrated centre would cost about $160 million, including indoor courts, a 50-metre pool, program pool, health and wellness spaces,

A passionate group of about 50 residents braved the rain at Tweed Heads to demand a 50metre pool, headed up by Cr James Owen and petitioners

Rates row over pool A FIERCE exchange over the proposed 50-metre indoor pool has erupted ahead of this Thursday’s crucial Tweed Shire Council vote, with Councillor James Owen accusing council of running a “scare campaign” over potential rate rises. About 50 residents joined Cr Owen and petitioners at Recreation Park, Tweed Heads, on Monday, August 17, calling for a pool to be included in the proposed Tweed Regional Indoor Sports and Aquatic Centre rather than deferred the pool to a future stage. A petition containing about 2,616 valid signatures has been presented to council (see page 8). It’s important to also note another petition with 354 signatures, which also supports a 50-metre pool, but is calling for a staged development (see page 8) Cr Owen said detailed costings and alternative funding and operating models should be considered before rate impacts were discussed. “Council is making numbers up to scare people,” Cr Owen said. “We need a costing. Their agenda is to not have the pool. It’s a scare campaign.” He said options including entry fees, government grants and alternative operators should be explored. “We need to ask how the pool is operated? Council is good at running many things, maybe pools could be run by someone else,” he said. Cr Owen’s comments came after council’s senior staff warned the fully integrated recreation centre could cost about $160 million and place significant pressure on ratepayers without government funding. Council’s Director of Sustainable Communities and Environment Naomi Searle said projects of this scale came at a sig-

“We need a costing. Their agenda is to not have the pool. It’s a scare campaign” nificant cost. “If we were to proceed with this project without state or federal government funding the financial burden would fall to local ratepayers,” Ms Searle said. She said the full project could increase rates by about 22 per cent beyond the usual rate peg, while even securing half the funding could still mean a 12 per cent increase beyond the rate peg. The 2026-27 rate peg is estimated at about 3.65 per cent for Tweed Shire. The council feasibility study found Tweed’s population is expected to reach about 128,000 by 2041 and identified a significant need for improved aquatic and indoor sporting facilities. Council officers are recommending an indoor sports centre proceed first, with planning and analysis continuing for a future 50-metre pool. Council has also cautioned the integrated centre could require an ongoing operating subsidy of $1.4 million to $2 million a year. Swimmer Brendan Vailant, who attended the petitioners’ event on Monday, said the Tweed needed a 50-metre pool and has questioned the projected rate impact. “What about charging entry fees? Other models could be worth looking at, privatising the pool,” he said. Twin Towns Diggers president Toni Cameron also backed the campaign. “Every child should be taught to swim,” she said. “There is no exercise that you can carry

all through your life like swimming.” Cr Nola Firth said she understood the community’s desire for both facilities but said council’s financial position could not be ignored. “It is clear many in our community want a 50m pool and an indoor sports centre. Of course we do,” Cr Firth said. “However, I think it’s important at this stage to factor financial costs into the conversation.” Cr Kimberly Hone supports delivering the sports and aquatic facilities simultaneously, arguing potential state and federal funding should be pursued. “It’s too early to be saying ratepayers will foot the bill, we need to progress this simultaneous project in order to secure the state and federal funding via grants,” she said. Tweed Mayor Chris Cherry said she understands both sides of the discussion, and she supports the idea of Tweed Heads having a new 50-metre pool. “I cannot wait for a new 50-metre pool for the community at Tweed Heads,” she said. “However, council is correct in stating that we simply cannot afford it at this stage, due to a change in the financial landscape of the Clarrie Hall Dam. “The raising of the dam is now expected to cost $304 million, which is three times greater than first expected AND is a vital part of securing the Tweed future water supply. “If the state and federal governments have funding for any projects we need to direct it towards the dam.” Mayor Cherry said the only part we can move forward with is a staged development at Recreation Park, Tweed Heads. “So, let’s all get on the same page and push ahead with the indoor sports facility first and then the aquatic centre next...

Heartfelt thank you to Twin Towns Community Foundation

Forty years ago the Tweed community, particularly Tweed Heads Rotary, responded to local children’s need by fundraising to build premises for Tweed Early Intervention Service, (now Shaping Outcomes) on land provided by the Tweed Heads hospital board. Despite documented decisions over many years for NSW Health to provide similar accommodation in the event of hospital redevelopment, the service was evicted with no alternative site offered, nor recompense for the $600,000 worth of buildings the community had provided on the old Tweed hospital site. The service found itself having to find more than $50,000 in annual rent. Money which had to be taken from services to the children. On behalf of the many, many parents and children who have benefited from early intervention, and those who will do so in the future, I want to extend our sincere, grateful and heartfelt thanks to the Twin Towns Community Foundation for their innovative provision of a permanent facility. It is so reassuring to know that “our village” has once again stepped up to raise the children with the best possible outcomes.

Ronni Hoskisson, secretary of Tweed District Residents & Ratepayers Association, Tweed Heads

I read my email from Western Australia-based sole energy provider, Synergy, with mixed feelings. Since moving to NSW from WA, I’ve dealt with several energy companies, mostly with negative outcomes in my opinion. Then the company I chose changed my plan – so I’ll be paying $140 more in supply charges this year despite the amount it pays for power having gone down.

Love your paper but puzzles need work

We look forward each week to the local Tweed Valley Weekly newspaper coming out and reading the latest news and doing the puzzles. We are so fortunate to have this local paper – I come from Melbourne and we lost our local weekly paper around the year 2000. I have an issue with the puzzles page. You’ve got the crossword and sudoku with last week’s solutions which is great so that you don’t cheat! Junior Crossword and Test Your Tweed Knowledge have the answers on the same page in the same issue - that’s okay too. My issue is with the 9 Letter. It’s something that is often a brain teaser and it’s very unfortunate that the current issue’s answers are on the same page with the 9-letter solution in CAPITAL LETTERS. While it’s upside down, it’s still too easy to see with a quick glance, thus spoiling my brain teaser for the week. Any chance that this could be added to the last week’s solution along with the crossword and sudoku? Luke Naismith, Tweed Heads

Woolworths are back in town

steering the ship. Going forward the fundamentals are excellent. But there is a dark cloud on the horizon in my view, council has its Growth Management, Housing and Employment Strategy on public exhibition until the end of August. Page 143 of the report outlines an action to review the zoning of all land between King and Condong streets. This is clearly there to facilitate the proposed Woolworths development on the former Murwilllumbah Bowling and Sports Club site. The very last thing the town needs at the moment, in my opinion, is a process enabling Woolworths and the associated retail to come to town and rip the heart out of the viability of our small business community. Our business owners are working hard to give us the town we are fortunate to be part of. The town has three supermarkets and supporting food, variety and leisure retail options. We won’t starve if Woolworths do not turn up! If you care about our town, here is an opportunity to show that support in a real and positive way. Go online and lodge a submission to the study. C’mon Murwillumbah, don’t be asleep at the wheel on this one. Mike Rayner, Murwillumbah

Very thankful for our new hospital

Everyday my husband and I are so grateful to be living in such a beautiful area where the community spirit is something to be proud of. From limited personal experience, before last week, we had heard positive feedback about the Tweed Valley Hospital, until we got to experience it firsthand (not that we would wish anyone ill health) did we realise what an asset the hospital is to the wider Tweed community. Every staff member we encountered were professional, kind and caring while working effortlessly as a team.

We did not realise so many people were employed who have come from wide and far to fill the positions required. We would like to thank all those involved, especially the two paramedics who were at our home within 10 minutes of the call being made. Again, true professionals who may not realise how thankful we were that they were the paramedics on duty that morning. We know for various reasons there was a lot of resistance to the hospital being built where it was and have heard people complaining about the food, but this not a hotel it’s a hospital. After our experience, we feel very reassured that the healthcare in our community is outstanding. Stay well. Heather Stewardson, Kingscliff

I support a Woolies in Murwillumbah

The people of Murwillumbah and surrounding small communities have been waiting for more than seven years for a Woolworths supermarket to be built on the former Murwillumbah Bowling and Sports Club site, now a vacant block of land. Our town is growing with this supermarket been built it would gain more employment for younger generations and our local community. We have businesses closing down in our community due to lack of foot traffic, lack of passing traffic from other areas to come through Murwillumbah for day trips, yes we have the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, but we need more in the heart of Murwillumbah and more competition in my opinion. Yes, there is issues with the traffic congestion and parking, so why aren’t the engineers going back to basics and looking at essential infrastructure for the town of Murwillumbah? Sarah Everett, Murwillumbah

Secondary detached dwellings could equal a

rate rise

Did you know that the proposal by four of the seven Tweed Shire councillors voting for detached second dwellings on rural lands of 5+ hectares could ultimately cost every residential ratepayer $100 extra on average, every year, on top of your regular rate rises? That’s because council cannot charge extra rates for second dwellings, even though the new residents would use council’s 50-plus services. The rates for businesses would have to go up even more at an average of $200, and for farmlands at an average of $150 per year. This $3.21 million rate shortfall was included in the council staff’ report to councillors during the May meeting, but is not included in the public exhibition of the draft Growth Management Housing and Employment Strategy (on exhibition this month). All rural land holders are already allowed to have a second house if attached, but the uptake is minuscule, showing that this an optional economic choice rather than a vital necessity. We all want to help people find homes, but the real cause of Tweed’s housing crisis is the catastrophic land banking problem perpetuated by the State Government by their lack of policy response. Tweed Shire has over 10,000 urban lots with Concept Plan Approvals since 2012, but they are not being built or at best only drip feed. Make a submission to council’s Growth Management Housing and Employment Strategy by August 31.

Her motion calls on council to renew its commitment to Value Statement 3 of the Tweed Community Strategic Plan: “We have conversations where everyone can contribute, and we are willing to have a go.” Cr Hone argues, in her background notes, that open dialogue, democratic debate and the ability of elected representatives to raise concerns are essential to a healthy local democracy. “Councillors represent the many community voices that elected them,” Cr Hone states. “Therefore, it’s vital to renew our commitment to Value Statement number 3, to provide and protect community contribution through inclusive conversations both in and outside of the council chamber.”

FREEDOM OF speech will be at the centre of a Tweed Shire Council debate this week, with Councillor Kimberly Hone calling on her fellow councillors to reaffirm their commitment to open debate after she was removed from the chamber at last month’s meeting. Cr Hone’s motion, titled “Protecting Open Conversations in the Chamber”, will be considered on Thursday, August 20, just weeks after councillors voted to have her removed from the July meeting following comments she made. The July incident centred on comments by Cr Hone suggesting an alleged preference deal had been struck between a councillor and a Northern Regional Planning Panel community representative. Mayor Chris Cherry later clarified that no reciprocal preference deal had taken place and that comments she had previously made about the preference process were mistaken. Cr Hone said she had no intention of revisiting the substance of the July dispute, via her new motion and the meeting, but wanted to use the incident to highlight what she believes is the importance of allowing councillors to speak openly. “I have no intention of raising the previous comments at the July monthly meeting,” Cr Hone told The Weekly. “This is done. But I believe it’s important that we pursue open conversation and freedom of speech. “I represent the people who voted for me and when you silence me you are silencing the voices of those who voted for me to represent them.” Cr Hone said it was unfortunate that confusion over the preference process had

Dam raising a priority Staged development first COUNCIL IS facing a mountain of infrastructure bills that could put further pressure on ratepayers as Tweed Shire councillors are set to confront the growing costs of securing the Tweed’s water supply and upgrading ageing wastewater infrastructure. At the centre of the financial pressure is the $304 million Clarrie Hall Dam Raising Project, but the dam is just one of a series of major projects competing for limited funds as council works to keep pace with population growth, ageing infrastructure and increasing construction costs. Council’s long-term financial plan currently assumes about $150 million in government funding for the dam project, with a current funding scenario also including a $93 million internal loan and Water Fund reserves. However, council officers have warned that securing funding remains the project’s biggest strategic risk and that the State Government may move away from traditional grants towards a loan-based Community Service Obligation model. If the expected government contribution does not eventuate, the financial consequences for the council and water customers could be substantial. “The Clarrie Hall Dam raising project is critical to Tweed’s long-term water security,” council’s report states. “The current estimated capital cost is around $304 million. Council’s long term financial plan currently assumes 50 per cent grant funding.” Council has warned that if the assumed grant funding does not materialise, it could need to borrow up to $240 million, resulting in more than $21 million a year in debt servicing costs. That compares with about $5 million a year in debt servicing under the grant-funded scenario. The cost could ultimately flow directly to households, with residential water bills estimated to roughly double over the next decade, from about $1000 to $2,000 a year if the project

has to be funded largely through borrowing. With government grant funding secured, the indicative annual bill would be about $1,400. Council officers have warned that developer contributions and service plans cannot bridge the funding gap under the existing legislative and regulatory framework, meaning the bulk of the cost would fall on existing water customers rather than new development. The current target is to complete the dam raising by mid-2032, subject to approvals, funding and other dependencies. Environmental approval is expected by the end of August, with the Full Business Case and Delivery Plan scheduled for completion in early 2027. Construction is currently expected to run from mid-2030 to mid-2032. But the dam is not the only major project putting pressure on council’s finances. Council is also grappling with significant water and wastewater infrastructure requirements, including upgrades to the Hastings Point and Murwillumbah treatment plants. A review of the water and wastewater capital works program is now underway to determine whether projects can be rescoped, reduced or postponed to ease pressure on the Water and Sewer Funds.

Clarrie Hall Dam wall raising is among the biggest projects on the council's books

Tweed Valley Basketball Association say they urgently need a dedicated indoor sports facility

Continued from page 3. ...otherwise we risk ending up with nothing.” Mayor Cherry said she did not believe council staff were intending to scare residents with the suggested rate rise of 22 per cent on top of the rate peg. “Council’s initial numbers are the best estimate we have and the costs would be prohibitive, however, we can achieve both goals of a indoors sports centre and aquatic centre if we approach it in stages,” she said. Councillors will vote on the Recreation Park proposal on Thursday, August 20, with the decision to determine whether the 50-metre pool remains part of the immediate project or is left as a future staged development. Tweed Valley Basketball Association president Zac Hoade says a staged approach to the proposed indoor sports centre is urgently needed, with the association having outgrown the limited facilities available in the Tweed. Mr Hoade said the club have a good relationship with the SDA Church in Murwillumbah, which provides an important venue for the association, but the facility also needs to be available for the church’s own use. He said the venues currently available to the club were subpar compared with facilities in neighbouring councils and did not meet the requirements for competitive, high-level bas-

ketball set by governing bodies. “We’ve grown to the size now where we’ve currently outgrown these facilities, which are not only substandard size, but they are also subpar facilities as well,” he said. Mr Hoade said the independent feasibility study had clearly identified a shortfall in indoor courts, making indoor sporting infrastructure the most urgent gap. “We currently have three pools. We have zero indoor facilities,” he said. “We need a facility that we can use, and it can be ours, and it can be a home for Tweed Valley Basketball.” He said the distinction between the proposed facilities was simple. “Right now it’s nice to have a pool. What we need is an indoor facility – that’s a must have,” Mr Hoade said. He backed building the indoor sports component first, with a pool potentially added later when funding became available. “The holistic development is a good idea in general, but right now we need an indoor facility,” he said. Mr Hoade said the proposed centre would benefit basketball, netball, pickleball and volleyball, providing an all-weather facility for yearround sport and bringing the Tweed closer to the standard of facilities available in neighbouring areas.

Plenty of petitions

“I support the development of both indoor sports and aquatic facilities for the Tweed community”

By Jonathon Howard

AFTER SEVERAL monthly meetings without a single petition, Tweed Shire councillors are set to consider a whopping five petitions this week, including two focused on the proposed redevelopment of Recreation Park at Tweed Heads. The Weekly has listed each petition below to give readers an overview of what councillors will be asked to consider.

Kingscliff Men’s Shed The petition calling for Council support for a Men’s Shed at 99 Elrond Drive, Kingscliff, attracted 2345 signatures, of which 2042 were valid. The petition states: “We, the undersigned Tweed residents and ratepayers request that Tweed Shire Council support a Men’s Shed at 99 Elrond Drive, Kingscliff.”

Make polluters pay A petition calling for major coal, oil and gas corporations to contribute towards the costs of climate change received 83 signatures, with 31 deemed valid. It calls on Council to support a “Polluter Pays” motion and a Climate Compensation Fund to help fund climate adaptation, disaster recovery and resilience. “We support big coal, oil and gas corporations paying their fair share for the costs of climate change,” the petition states. “Local councils and residents shouldn’t be left holding the bill while corporations pocket the profits.” It calls for the Federal Government to establish a fund paid for by a levy on major fossil fuel exporters.

The indoor aquatic centre at Tweed Heads South does not offer a 50-metre pool

50-metre swimming pool The biggest petition, with 3054 signatures, calls for a 50-metre Olympic-sized pool to be included in the proposed Tweed Regional Indoor Sports and Aquatic Centre at Recreation Park. A total of 2616 signatures were valid after exclusions for incomplete details, non-residents, duplicates and one withdrawn signature. “We, the undersigned, call on Tweed Shire Council to commit to proceeding with a 50-metre Olympic-sized swimming pool ... and not to defer or separate the aquatic component from the current project,” it states.

Staged indoor sports and aquatic facilities A separate petition received 424 signatures, with 354 valid, supporting a staged approach to delivering indoor sporting and aquatic facilities. “I support the development of both indoor sports and aquatic facilities for the Tweed community. However, I urge Council to

deliver these projects in stages,” it states. The petition calls for the indoor sports facility to be built first, with the aquatic centre following as the next stage. It argues that with no existing public indoor sporting facilities, the immediate priority should be meeting the needs of local clubs, schools, competitions and community participation. “Trying to deliver both major projects at the same time could create funding challenges, increased costs and delay progress on both facilities,” the petition states.

Parking at Evolve Apartments A petition from residents of Evolve Apartments at 38 Enid Street, Tweed Heads, received 65 signatures, with 56 valid. Residents are requesting “No Parking” zones, marked by continuous yellow lines, on both sides of the apartment driveway. “We, the undersigned residents of Evolve Apartments, formally request the installation of ‘No Parking’ zones,” the petition states.

Freedom of speech debate Continued from page 5 The report accompanying the motion also refers councillors to the NSW Office of Local Government’s “Free Speech in Local Government in NSW” guideline, issued by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure. The guideline recognises the importance of councillors being able to participate in public debate and communicate differing perspectives, while also making clear that freedom of political communication is not absolute. It notes that the implied freedom of political communication established by the High Court is a constitutional principle designed to ensure Australians can make informed choices as electors. However, the freedom can be limited by laws that are reasonably appropriate and adapted to serve a legitimate purpose compatible with representative and responsible government. Council management has also cautioned that councillors remain bound by the Local Government Act, Council’s Code of Meeting Practice and Code of Conduct. Those requirements mean debate must remain respectful, orderly, relevant and consistent with good governance. The report warns that failing to comply with legislative and governance requirements could expose councillors and council to legal, compliance and reputational risks, including potential defamation issues.

Cr Nola Firth said the council’s codes were essential to ensuring “free and fair debate”. “And that we are required to abide by them,” Cr Firth said. “Any genuine concerns that a councillor has needs to be addressed via the code of conduct rather than in a public council meeting.” The clash over Cr Hone’s conduct at the July meeting has reignited debate about the boundaries of political speech inside the council chamber and where the line should be drawn between robust public debate and the rules governing councillor conduct. For Cr Hone, the issue is ultimately about ensuring elected councillors can raise concerns on behalf of the communities they represent. For opponents, the council’s governance rules are intended to ensure debate remains fair, orderly and accountable, regardless of how contentious an issue becomes. Mayor Chris Cherry said she is welcoming of Cr Hone’s motion in relation open conversations within council. “I think we all value truth and open discussion in council meetings and I look forward to respectful debate,” she said. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe Cr Hone was silenced in making her point during the July council meeting, or was her removal justified?

Murwillumbah Public School PROMOTING EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

96164 Murwillumbah Primary HP

Stage 2 Students Enjoy an Unforgettable Camp Adventure Forty enthusiastic Year 3 and 4 students from Murwillumbah Public School recently returned from an action-packed three-day camp at Tyalgum Ridge Retreat, filled with adventure, teamwork and hands-on learning. From the moment students stepped off the bus, they were immersed in a range of exciting outdoor activities. Perfect weather made kayaking on the retreat’s dam a highlight, with students developing confidence and teamwork as they learned to paddle, steer and safely launch and land their kayaks. One of the most memorable experiences was a four-kilometre hike to a stunning waterfall. At the base of the waterfall, students discovered natural ochre and enjoyed learning about its traditional uses by creating face and body paint from the earth. Students also gained practical outdoor skills by learning how to build and safely

light a campfire before cooking their own delicious dampers over hot coals. Served with maple syrup, the warm treats were a well-earned reward after a busy day of activities. The adventure continued with the flying fox, low ropes course and the Star Chase activity, all encouraging resilience, confidence and teamwork. Students also experienced life on a working farm, enjoying early morning starts and meeting a variety of friendly animals. The playful miniature goats, donkeys and resident pig quickly became favourites. The camp provided countless opportunities for students to challenge themselves, build friendships and create lasting memories in the beautiful natural surroundings of Tyalgum Ridge. Murwillumbah Public School extends its sincere thanks to the wonderful staff at Tyalgum Ridge Retreat for providing such an engaging experience, and to

the dedicated teachers who gave their time and energy to make this memorable camp possible.

Carer charged with Record rescues for July major theft A CARER will face court over alleged property offences and the theft of over $100,000 in the Tweed Heads area following an extensive investigation by police. In October 2025, officers attached to Tweed Byron Police District commenced an investigation after several unauthorised purchases were allegedly made using an elderly man’s bank card. Following inquiries, police established more than 200 unauthorised transactions had allegedly occurred during August 2025 and October 2025, totalling more than $140,000. Police later received information that gold jewellery had allegedly been stolen from an elderly woman’s home in Tweed Heads South. Following extensive inquiries, police executed a search warrant at a home on Falcon Way, Tweed Heads South, on Wednesday, June 10, 2026. The warrant was executed at the home of a woman who had provided domestic care services to the elderly man and woman. During the search, police allegedly located and seized several items of interest, including a large quantity of jewellery, 31 unopened bottles of perfume, nine handbags and electronic devices. Police also located a gold chain and pendant matching the description of items reported stolen from the elderly woman. About 8.30am on Thursday, August 13, police executed a second search warrant at the Tweed Heads South home. During the search, police allegedly located and seized items believed to have been unlawfully obtained, including electronics, appliances and furniture.

The woman had provided domestic care services to an elderly man and woman

About 3pm that day, a 57-year-old woman was arrested at Tweed Heads Police Station. She was charged with two counts of attempting to receive property stolen during a serious indictable offence valued at more than $5,000, dishonestly obtaining property by deception, and dealing with property proceeds of crime valued at more than $100,000. The woman was granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear before Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, September 28. Police are continuing to examine several pieces of jewellery seized during the search warrants.

MARINE RESCUE Point Danger volunteers accounted for more than half of the Northern Rivers’ rescue missions in its busiest July on record, as Marine Rescue NSW recorded its second busiest July on record. Engine, battery and fuel problems account for the majority of mechanical failures resulting in rescues, with authorities urging boaters to be vigilant about maintenance and safety. Volunteers across the state responded to 253 search and rescue missions last month, just 12 short of the July record set in 2023. They safely returned 512 people to shore, with 90 responses classified as emergencies. The Northern Rivers recorded its busiest July on record, with 35 missions across its seven units. Marine Rescue Point Danger was the busiest unit in the region, responding to 19 missions, followed by Evans Head with six and Cape Byron with three. Across the Northern Rivers, volunteers safely returned 82 people to shore, including 20 emergency responses. Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Todd Andrews said favourable winter weather had encouraged more boaters onto the state’s waterways. “Despite it being the middle of winter, favourable weather conditions saw plenty of boaters making the most of our waterways, resulting in a significant demand for our volunteers,” he said. “Our volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and once again demonstrated their commitment to keeping the boating community safe.” Radio operators were also busy, managing 18,921 calls during July, including four MAYDAYs and four PAN PANs, while maintaining a safety watch over 23,645 people aboard 5,831 Logged On vessels.

Marine Rescue Point Danger volunteers were extremely busy in July

Commissioner Andrews urged boaters to use Marine Rescue NSW’s free Log On service before heading out. “Logging on is one of the simplest and most effective safety measures available to boaters,” he said. “Whether you use the free Marine Rescue NSW app or Log On via VHF Channel 16, you’ll be providing our radio operators with your trip details. “If you don’t return as planned, we know where to start looking, which can save valuable time in an emergency.” Mechanical problems remained the leading cause of rescues, with engine, battery and fuel issues accounting for 57 per cent of responses. Mr Andrews encouraged boat owners to use winter to prepare their vessels for spring. “Regular maintenance, carrying enough fuel for your trip and ensuring your battery is in good condition are simple steps that can help prevent an avoidable call for assistance,” he said. He also reminded boaters to plan carefully around shorter winter daylight hours. “Plan your trip carefully, allow plenty of time to return before nightfall and avoid navigating in darkness unless it is absolutely necessary,” he said.

Crane crash injury A MAN has been airlifted to hospital after being seriously injured in a crane accident at a Bray’s Creek property on Friday, August 14. Emergency services responded to reports of a person trapped under a crane on a property on Jack Smith’s Road, southwest of Murwillumbah just after 8am. “We responded to reports of a person trapped under a crane,” a spokesperson for Tweed District Rescue Squad VRA said. “We responded with our Murwillumbah rescue unit as well as our heavy rescue truck. “Upon arrival, we found a 32-year-old male laying on the ground next to a mobile crane. “Rescue crews provided first aid until NSW Extended Care Paramedics and Westpac Rescue medical support arrived a short time later.” NSW Ambulance had tasked the Westpac Rescue Helicopter to the scene after assessing his injuries.

Emergency services at the scene of the Bray's Creek accident

The man was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter’s critical care medical team for back and multiple crush injuries Tweed District Rescue Squad (TDRS) crews assisted medical crews by carrying the patient to the helicopter where he was flown to Gold Coast University Hospital for further treatment.

Emergency service workers at the Tweed Valley Way accident

“As rescue crews were returning to base, we were activated to reports of a two-vehicle persons-trapped collision on Tweed Valley Way just south of Murwillumbah,” the TDRS spokesperson said. “Crews arrived to see one vehicle that had left the roadway and come to rest down a steep valley. “Rescue crews set up stabilisation for the vehicle and rope systems to gain access and extricate the occupants to waiting NSW Ambulance paramedics.” “Another stellar multi-agency response for the Tweed district,” a Fire and Rescue Murwillumbah spokesperson said.

Local heroes honoured FIVE LOCALS have been recognised for acts of extraordinary courage at the Tweed Byron Police District Medals and Awards Ceremony at Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club on Tuesday, August 11. Alana Boekeman, Casey Grimes, Warren Bowden, Cameron Roberts and Kyden Pitt were honoured for stepping in to help others in three dangerous rescues. Kyden was recognised for rescuing a swimmer caught in a rip at Duranbah. He paddled around 100 metres offshore in heavy seas, secured the swimmer to his board and brought him safely to shore before continuing to assist until paramedics arrived. Alana Boekeman and Casey Grimes helped a woman escape a violent assault at Tweed City Shopping Centre, despite being pursued and rammed by the alleged offender. Warren Bowden and Cameron Roberts were recognised for saving a woman who had set herself alight at Banora Point in February 2025, extinguishing the flames and caring for her until emergency services arrived. Mayor Chris Cherry praised the recipients as “everyday heroes”, while Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said they represented “the very best of the Tweed community”. The ceremony also recognised police officers

The Murf Electric Bikes Tweed Coast Pro Junior is back this weekend, with last years winner Dane Henry at the Kingy pub on Friday night

Murf Electric Bikes Australia representative Josh Kerr said. Last year’s champions, Fingal Head’s Dane Henry and Isla Huppatz, went on to win the WSL World Junior Championships, earning a place on the 2026 Challenger Series. Event organiser Kiri Henry said bringing a WSL event back to the Tweed Coast was a major milestone for the club and local community. “The Kingscliff Boardriders Club is thrilled to bring a WSL event like this back to the Tweed Coast,” Kiri said. “To see the next generation of surfers competing here on the world stage is something really special.” Kiri said the club was proud to work with Noosa Boardriders to establish the Murf Coast Cup and create greater opportunities for Australia’s emerging surfers. Tweed Shire Mayor Chris Cherry praised Kingscliff Boardriders for its commitment to growing the event and delivering lasting benefits for the region. 00074 JH Williams HP

Nobody really asks how a flood feels to a child

After the 2022 floods in Chinderah.

Kids watching the army clean up the preschool.

For a week after the 2022 flood, the children at Smiley Tots could not come to daycare. Some of them no longer had a home to go back to either. Then came the part nobody plans for. The sound of rain became frightening. The Chinderah centre has been through 2 floods in 19 years, and 2022 was the worst. It lost its whole back yard, everything in the garage and all of its playgroup equipment. Several of its families lost everything. "The children would get really upset and scared when they'd hear the rain or storms, because they had experienced being evacuated from their houses," Smiley Tots educator Rebecca Pollock said.

They had questions. Was the rain going to wash away their yard? Their house? "No one really realises how the children feel at a time where there's natural disasters such as the floods, but they really do feel," Ms Pollock said. "It's really important that we find out how they are feeling, so they can build up an understanding and we can help them to cope." This encouraged the educators to talk about those fears, about rain and floods and natural disasters. They also took the children outdoors to Bush Kindy. On the walk to the play area they stop at a pole by the river that carries photographs of past floods.

New planting system to bring shade to Murwillumbah Street Unlike previous plantings, the trees are installed using an enhanced planting method that includes structural soil cells beneath the pavement. The system provides more space for roots to grow while supporting surrounding footpaths and infrastructure, giving the trees a stronger foundation for long-term growth. Construction crews will remove old root systems, excavate the planting sites and install the new soil cell structures before planting begins. Concrete blisters will also be reinstated at each location.

What to expect

Murwillumbah tree replacement, phase 1.

Seven new street trees will be planted in Murwillumbah's main street from September, using an innovative planting system designed to give the trees the best chance of thriving and delivering long-term shade and cooling benefits for the town centre. The project is part of Tweed Shire Council's Cool Towns Urban Forest Program and will see new trees planted at 7 locations along Murwillumbah Street between Brisbane Street and the Courthouse Hotel. The new trees will help increase shade, improve pedestrian comfort and support a cooler town centre for residents, visitors and local businesses.

Works are expected to take place between September and December 2026, weather and site conditions permitting. During construction: • some on-street parking spaces will be temporarily unavailable • all affected parking spaces will be reinstated when works are complete • pedestrian access to CBD businesses will remain open at all times • additional parking will be available following completion of the multi-storey car park. Council thanks businesses, residents and visitors for their patience while the works are undertaken. The project is funded by the NSW Government and Tweed Shire Council through the Cool Towns Urban Forest Program. For updates, visit yoursaytweed.com.au/cool-towns

"They love looking at the pictures and pointing, oh, when was this flood?" educator Caris Power said. These conversations and excursions have created change. "They understand that just because it's raining doesn't mean it's going to flood," Ms Power said. "They're quite aware that it takes a lot of rain for the rivers to flood, and not to be scared." Much of Bush Kindy happens at Turnock Park, which before the flood was 2 swings and grass that would grow long. It was rebuilt through the $15.5 million Community Assets Program, jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments, and raised and drained so it can reopen quickly next time. "When we're facing floods, there's a lot of anxiety in the community, and rightly so," Director Sustainable Communities and Environment Naomi Searle said. "But when we're creating play spaces close to the river, we're able to bring people together and reduce those levels of anxiety." The children watched the whole thing go up. One of the fathers was a project builder on the site, and they would say hi to him each day as they walked past. "As it's been transformed, the children got to watch that, and that was amazing. They loved it," Ms Pollock said. "Now they're always asking, can we come here?" Find out more about the Community Assets Program at tweed.nsw.gov.au/community-assets-program

Council trivia This week's question Answer: D is the correct answer. Soft plastics, batteries, and food or general waste should never go in your recycling bin. Here’s what to do instead: Soft plastics: These wrap around sorting machinery at recycling facilities and cause breakdowns. Take soft plastics to a dedicated drop‑off point or collection program instead. Batteries: Batteries must be taken to a safe recycling drop‑off. Incorrectly disposed batteries are a leading cause of fires in rubbish trucks and waste facilities. Food or general waste: Food scraps and general waste contaminate recycling. Even small amounts can cause entire loads of good recyclables to be sent to landfill.

Condong Creek drainage project receives funding support

Planning is set to begin on a major drainage improvement project at Condong Creek after Tweed Shire Council secured up to $1 million in external funding to help improve flood resilience for local agricultural land. The funding has been provided by the NSW Reconstruction Authority through the Tropical Cyclone Alfred Agricultural Drainage Reset Program, with Tweed Shire Council committing up to $500,000 towards the estimated $1.5 million project cost. Council identified the Condong Creek Drainage Management Plan upgrade works as its highestpriority agricultural drainage project, recognising the importance of effective drainage systems for the region's farming industry. The project is the largest approved under the second tranche of the Tropical Cyclone Alfred Agricultural Drainage Reset Program, which supports the restoration of critical drainage infrastructure damaged by recent flooding while improving long-term resilience across Northern NSW. The project will now move into the design and approvals phase before construction can begin. Delivery will be managed by the NSW Soil Conservation Service, subject to confirmation of scope, costs, approvals and feasibility by the NSW Reconstruction Authority.

One week, one working day: how 500 people saw Council up close

Visitors saw the vehicles that keep the Tweed moving at the Murwillumbah Depot Open Day.

Every day at Council starts before dawn, with water already moving through the network toward almost 100,000 people who will not think about it at all over the course of that day. Such is the nature of much of the work that Council does, but for one week in August the community got to follow that day from one end to the other. More than 500 people were part of the 10 events Council hosted for Local Government Week, from Monday 3 August to Sunday 9 August, and together they traced the shape of an ordinary working day at Council. The water came first. A group stood at Clarrie Hall Dam to see where the Tweed's drinking water begins and why the dam matters when the dry weather comes. Another stepped inside the Tweed Laboratory Centre at Tweed Heads South, where staff test that same water against the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines, in a lab so well regarded that other councils and organisations around the country send their samples there. A third group followed the water out the other side, at the Murwillumbah wastewater treatment plant, where it is treated and returned as reclaimed water which local industry can use. By mid-morning the day had spread across the Shire. At Tweed City, Council's climate change, sustainability and waste teams helped shoppers read their electricity bills, claim the rebates they were missing and settle what goes in which bin. At Tweed Valley Cemetery, 127 people learnt about what paperwork follows a death, long before most of them will need to know. Out at Kynnumboon, visitors walked a former cane paddock where more than 12,000 trees now stand, halfway through an 8 year project to bring back flying-fox habitat. At the Tweed Regional Museum, a curator explained the thinking behind their new exhibition Ritual. Then came Saturday, and the biggest crowd of the week. More than 200 people walked through the gates of the new flood-resilient Murwillumbah depot to meet staff, admire the large machinery and see the vehicles that keep the Tweed moving, with SES volunteers helping make the day possible.

Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at Tweed Shire Council's Animal Rehoming Facility? Join Friends of the Pound for a special tour and discover how volunteers help local cats, dogs and rabbits find loving homes. Friends of the Pound is looking for new volunteers to support the care and rehoming of rescue animals across the Tweed.

Volunteer opportunities include: • animal care • dog walking and enrichment activities • feeding and cleaning

• socialising animals • events and fundraising support • administrative assistance. Visitors will have the opportunity to tour the purpose-built Animal Rehoming Facility, meet the volunteers who support its work and learn how they can help make a difference in the lives of local animals. Place: 175 Quarry Road, South Murwillumbah Date: Monday 24 August 2026 Time: 10 am RSVPs are essential, refreshments will be provided. Register at tweed.nsw.gov.au/friends-of-the-pound

Tweed Shire Council staff and SES members volunteer at the Depot Open Day in South Murwillumbah.

There was room in the week for the people behind it all too, with a celebration of the Nature Care volunteers who care for the Tweed's natural places, and a careers expo for anyone thinking about doing this work themselves. The doors close for another year, but the questions do not have to. Anyone who missed the week can find out more about Council's 53 services at tweed.nsw.gov.au, and we would love to hear from you.

Special NRRRL report - Mustangs finals bound WHAT AN incredible season for the Murwillumbah Mustangs, with all five teams – LLT, WRL, Under 18s, Reserve Grade and First Grade – qualifying for finals. The achievement reflects the hard work of players, coaches, committee members, volunteers, sponsors and supporters. Training began in January with the goal of making every team competitive, and the Mustangs have delivered across all grades in what has been described as one of the strongest NRRRL seasons in recent years.

FIRST GRADE (A-Grade) The First Grade side finished as Minor Premiers after an outstanding regular season, earning a home major semi-final against Casino. The Mustangs have built their success on strong defence, disciplined football and a team-first approach, consistently producing performances that established them as the competition’s benchmark. Coaches Glynn Watson, Tim Booth, Chris Binge and Andrew Kirby have played a key role in the team’s success. The challenge now is to turn a dominant regular season into premiership success, with the finals bringing a new level of pressure.

WOMEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE

LADIES LEAGUE TAG

The Mustangs’ WRL side has made a stunning debut, finishing third and securing a finals berth in its inaugural season. Coached by Chris Binge, the team will face the Casino Cougars in an elimination semi-final at Lismore this Sunday. The side has consistently competed against more experienced teams and established itself as a genuine finals contender. The inaugural campaign has already laid a strong foundation for the future, with players, families, volunteers and sponsors all contributing to its success.

LLT finished third and will take on Cudgen in an elimination semi-final at Lismore this Sunday. Coach Andrew Lack has guided the young side through a strong season, building a culture based on commitment and quality football. The team will now need to produce its best as it fights to keep its premiership hopes alive. The club also recognised the commitment of several girls who have backed up by playing in both WRL and LLT. With all five teams heading into finals, the Mustangs have plenty to celebrate – and plenty more to play for. Up the Stangs!

Mustangs captains from each grade have led an outstanding season!

Complete your Census now. �t�s not too late.

RESERVE GRADE Reserve Grade finished fourth and will face the Tweed Seagulls in an elimination semi-final at Yamba Showgrounds this Saturday. After narrowly missing last year’s finals, coach Monty Brown will be pleased to have his side back in contention. The Reggies have shown plenty of character throughout a tough season and will now fight to keep their premiership hopes alive.

UNDER 18S The Under 18s have enjoyed a remarkable undefeated season, finishing as Minor Premiers and earning a week off before facing Cudgen. Coach Sam O’Dea has helped build a strong team culture based on hard work, teamwork and commitment. The unbeaten record is a tremendous achievement and highlights the bright future of the Mustangs, with the young side now focused on carrying its form into the finals.

Census night was Tuesday 11 August. It’s compulsory for each household to complete the Census to help plan for Australia’s future. For help, visit census.abs.gov.au or call 1800 181 227.

A decade of ITV Grants By Jonathon Howard

THE ITV Tweed Community Initiative Fund will return for its 10th consecutive year and local not-for-profit organisations are encouraged to apply for a share of the funding later this month. The announcement comes as both the UK and German production teams prepare to return to the Tweed Valley to film the iconic reality series, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! in November 2026 and January 2027. Since the community grants program began in 2017, ITV Studios has provided more than 200 grants to local organisations. The 2026 round is expected to take the total amount donated to more than $500,000. Applications for this year’s fund open on Thursday, August 27, and close on Sunday, September 27. Local not-for-profit groups are encouraged to apply through ITV’s community grants website once applications open, with application forms and further information also available by emailing community.liaison@itv.com. To mark the decade-long initiative, ITV Studios has established a new community committee comprising three independent local leaders who will assess applications and allocate funding. The 2026 stellar panel consists of Karina Appo, Jennifer Booth and John Spedding, all of whom have strong connections to the Tweed and extensive experience in community, education, volunteering, tourism and regional development.

MEET THE JUDGES Karina Appo has worked in public education for 20 years and is currently Head Teacher of Technological and Applied Studies, Vocational Education and Training, and Anti-Racism Contact Officer at Murwillumbah High School. A mother of five, Ms Appo moved to the

Tweed in 2005 and has developed strong connections across the region, with a particular understanding of youth, families and community initiatives. Jennifer Booth, the 2025 Tweed Shire Australia Day Citizen of the Year, has been recognised for her work in community resilience and preparedness. A long-time Murwillumbah resident who raised five children in the town and now has 13 grandchildren, Ms Booth worked in the sugar industry for more than 30 years before dedicating herself to family and volunteering. She was also named Anglicare National Volunteer of the Year in 2025. John Spedding was named Champion of the Tweed in 2026 for his contribution to tourism and regional business development, is a fifth-generation Tweed local. Alongside his wife Donna, he owns The Hinterland Collection, including Summergrove Estate, Elysian Hills, Potager – A Kitchen Garden, Bellingdale Farm and Tweed Eco Cruises. Mr Spedding said it was an honour to help recognise projects making a difference in the community. “Over the past 10 years, the Fund has made a wonderful contribution to the Tweed,” he said. “It is a real honour to be part of recognising and celebrating the people and projects making a difference across our community.”

Washing machine link update TWEED HOUSEHOLDS can take advantage of a NSW Government program offering new water and energy-efficient washing machines for $250. Member for Tweed Geoff Provest and Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin are encouraging eligible pensioners, veterans, social housing tenants and low-income households to apply now. The program allows eligible households to trade in an existing top-loading machine for an 8kg front-loader, with delivery, installation, a two-year warranty and removal and recycling of the old machine included. Mr Provest said the program provided practical cost-of-living relief, while Ms Saffin urged people to apply quickly after previous rounds sold out within a week.

A total of 6000 machines are available in the latest round. T h e We e kly’s link to the program in the last edition proved difficult for readers to follow, so an updated link and QR code are provided to make applying easier.

Women’s golf event a winner By Jonathon Howard

Financial Advice  Re�rement Planning  Investments  Superannua�on

TWEED VALLEY Radiology has committed to sponsoring next year’s Mt Warning Wollumbin Classic after the 34th annual women’s golf tournament attracted 130 competitors from across New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania. The major sponsor’s commitment comes after this month’s successful two-day event at Murwillumbah Golf Club, hosted by Women’s Golf Murwillumbah on August 13 and 14. Tweed Valley Radiology partner Sharon Hinchley joined Women’s Golf Murwillumbah committee members during the tournament, which attracted players from the Mid North Coast, North Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast, as well as competitors travelling from Sydney and Tasmania. Women’s Golf Murwillumbah president Marie Morrin said the support from sponsors was critical to the continued success of the event. “The sponsorship, especially from our latest major sponsor Tweed Valley Radiology: X-Ray & Imaging Specialists, is invaluable and plays

a huge role in the continued success of the tournament,” Marie said. “We’re incredibly grateful for their ongoing support.” The Mt Warning Wollumbin Classic has become one of the Tweed’s premier women’s golf tournaments, combining competitive play with an opportunity for visitors to experience Murwillumbah and the wider Tweed Valley. “The Mt Warning Wollumbin Classic is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our course, enjoy some friendly competition and welcome visitors who contribute to our local community and economy,” Marie said. The tournament also provides an economic boost to the region, with many competitors extending their stays to enjoy local accommodation, hospitality, shopping and natural attractions. Following the success of this year’s event, Tweed Valley Radiology has committed to backing the tournament again in 2027. The 35th Mt Warning Wollumbin Classic will be held at Murwillumbah Golf Club on August 5 and 6, 2027. Tweed Valley Radiology partner, Sharon Hinchley with WGM committee members

26 Seniors Thursday, August 20, 2026 For our “It was eerie. The VC weren’t running and diving behind trees... They were just walking toward us like zombies,” – ALLEN MAY (describing the intensity of the Battle of Long Tan).

Battle of Long Tan brothers remembered SIXTY YEARS after the Battle of Long Tan, two Australian soldiers who fought side-by-side in one of the Vietnam War’s fiercest battles have reflected on their service, friendship and the importance of remembering those who served. The Weekly caught up with Vietnam veterans Ian Campbell and Bill Roche as part of Vietnam Veterans Battle of Long Tan Day this week. Both Ian and Bill were members of 2 Section, 10 Platoon, Delta Company, 6RAR, during the Battle of Long Tan on August 18, 1966. Mr Campbell, who lives in Murwillumbah, served in Vietnam from 1966 to 1967, while Mr Roche served during 1966-67 and returned for a second tour in 1969-70. The pair were among the soldiers of Delta Company, 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, who faced a much larger force of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese regular soldiers in a rubber plantation at Long Tan, in Phuoc Tuy Province. The three-hour battle began about 4pm and ended around 7pm, with 17 Delta Company soldiers killed in action and one Australian armoured corps trooper later dying from his wounds. A further 24 Australians were wounded. Mr Campbell said while Vietnam was now part of the past, it remained important to recognise the veterans who served. “It’s important to remember Vietnam veterans as a part of our history,” he said. For Mr Roche, who lives on the Gold Coast, the 60th anniversary is an opportunity to ensure the story of Long Tan is accurately remembered. “It’s been 60 years since the event,” he said, noting that he liked the idea of the date having a joint name of “Vietnam Veterans Battle of Long Tan Day.” Mr Roche said he was frustrated when the battle

For Mr Campbell and Mr Roche, however, beside each other in that rubber plantation was described simply as an ambush. the anniversary is also deeply personal – a 60 years ago. “Some people say it was an ambush,” he said. Lest We Forget. “It was 108 soldiers, mostly Australians – 105 chance to remember the mates who stood – and three New Zealanders, who were attacked by Viet Cong forces.” He said the Australians and New Zealanders were never surrounded, although the situation became increasingly dangerous as D445, a Viet Cong provincial mobile battalion, closed the gap. “We were never surrounded,” Mr Roche said. “It came close when a local unit, the D445 Provincial Mobile Battalion, was closing the gap and that’s when the arrival, eventually, of the APCs put an end to the dreadful enemy attacks.” Mr Roche said veterans should continue telling their stories, particularly as the number of surviv- Attending the South Tweed Sports Club Vietnam Vietnam Veteran John Morton lowering Veteran Uncle Victor Slockee, Mayor Chris the Australia flag to half mast alongside ing Vietnam veterans declines. Cherry, Cr Nola Firth, Vietnam Veteran Brian fellow Vietnam Veteran Stephen Black on “Veterans should tell their stories, at least every Vickery and Member for Tweed Geoff Provest the bugle 12 months,” he said. “There’s no joy in it. It’s something we commemorate but it’s important to pause and remember.” The two men remain close friends after serving together in a platoon of 34 soldiers and one officer. Ten Platoon suffered three killed in action and six wounded during the battle. Their shared experience at Long Tan forged a bond that has lasted many decades. Mr Roche said the memories of Vietnam still return from time to time and acknowledged he had experienced periods of depression. The Battle of Long Tan is regarded by some as the most significant engagement in Australia’s military history. More than 60,000 Australians served during the Vietnam War, with 523 making the ultimate sacrifice and thousands more wounded.

New E-bike laws NEW LAWS aimed at cleaning up footpaths, improving e-bike safety and cracking down on illegal private devices have come into effect across NSW. While the reforms introduce Australia’s first regulatory framework for shared e-bike operators, the NSW Government is also taking tougher action against privately owned e-bikes that do not comply with the law. NSW Police will now have powers to seize and crush illegal privately owned e-bikes, as the Government moves to address concerns about increasingly powerful and modified devices being used on roads and footpaths. The maximum legal power output for e-bikes will also be reduced from 500 watts to 250 watts, reversing the higher limit introduced by the previous Liberal Government. The Government will introduce a new mandatory standard designed to ensure e-bikes are genuinely pedal-assisted and that their legal power output cannot be tampered with. A minimum age requirement for riding an e-bike, which will also be introduced, while new safety standards will apply to the sale of lithium-ion batteries in an effort to reduce the risk of battery-related fires. Converted e-bikes will also be banned from trains and Sydney Metro services because of the increased fire risk associated with modified devices. The measures come alongside new rules governing shared e-bike operators, who from today must obtain approval from Transport for NSW and authorisation from councils and other relevant authorities.

Priority aged care for MND By Jo Kennett

01004 Australian Audiology HP

OLDER AUSTRALIANS living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) are being given priority access to aged care support under changes announced by the federal government. The changes, which have just come into effect, recognise MND as a condition requiring urgent access to the Support at Home program because the disease is rare, incurable and usually causes rapid deterioration in physical function. The priority applies to older people with MND who have already been approved for ongoing Support at Home funding, as well as those approved in the future. To receive priority, the MND diagnosis must have been recorded during the person’s aged care assessment. The government says the change will apply retrospectively, meaning people with MND who have already been assessed and are waiting for a Support at Home place will be prioritised. If someone was diagnosed with MND after their assessment and is waiting for funding, they should contact My Aged Care to arrange a reassessment. People who are unsure whether their diagnosis was recorded during their assessment can also contact their assessment organisation. The changes bring aged care into line with a priority pathway already available to people with MND through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The government established a dedicated NDIS team in 2024 to support new applicants with MND. Health Minister Mark Butler said care systems needed to respond to the rapid progression of the disease. Aged Care Minister Sam Rae said older peo-

ple and their families had called for greater consideration of MND when determining how urgently care was needed. The government has also ordered a rapid review of the Support at Home prioritisation system. The review will examine whether further changes are needed to ensure people with the most urgent care needs receive support quickly. The government says median waiting times for aged care assessments have fallen from a peak of about 10 months to consistently less than one month. The changes follow a broader commitment to improve Support at Home and come after the government announced $40.1 million in January to establish the Neale Daniher National MND Clinical Network, aimed at giving more people with MND access to clinical trials.

Reason to dance WHEN WINSTON Howard opened Te Amo Dance in Mullumbimby last year, he knew many people would walk past wondering whether dance was really for them. His advice is simple: stop wondering and walk through the door. “People always lead with the fitness angle. They say, oh, it’s a great workout. Or they say, it’s good for your social life. And yes, all of that is true. But that’s not the reason you should dance,” Winston says. “The real reason? You will have to come in and find out.” Principal instructor at Te Amo Dance, Winston opened the studio at Shop 5/104 Dalley Street in mid-2025, offering adult dance classes, private lessons, wedding choreography and studio hire. The studio has quickly become about more than learning steps, connecting locals with the Northern Rivers’ vibrant dance scene. Late last year, Winston choreographed and performed with students Martine Gudgeon and Tamika McIndoe in Stars of Byron Bay, with the pair becoming finalists and raising more than $15,000 for the Cancer Council.

Winston also takes students beyond the studio to local dance nights, including Salsa and Bachata, live Afro-Cuban music and Rock ‘n’ Roll events. “There is nothing like dancing to a live band,” he says. For Winston, dancing is about becoming part of the music. “When you dance, you are part of the music. You are part of the band. Your feet become instruments.” He understands beginners can feel nervous walking into their first class or dance night. “That nervousness does not make you different. It makes you completely normal. But you have to jump in the water.” Te Amo Dance offers classes in Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia, Cha Cha, Rumba, Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, West Coast Swing, East Coast Swing, Rock ‘n’ Roll and Disco. “If you can walk, you can dance,” Winston says. “The water’s warm. We’re waiting.” Te Amo Dance: Shop 5/104 Dalley Street, Mullumbimby. Contact Winston Howard on 0450 565 683 or winston@teamodance.com.au.

AT THE FOOTY with Quinny

THREE ROUNDS to go and we have a new leader after the blockbuster on Thursday night saw the Roosters flex their muscle against the Panthers. It was a high quality contest with the old bull DCE turning back the clock. Also great to hear he will continue with a cameo in the Super League next year with Hull FC. We probably only have nine left with some important games and Manly playing two top teams with a few rounds to go. Plenty of chat about how bad the Broncos are going after winning the comp but that performance on Saturday in Brisbane was deplorable for a team of that stature. I have to agree with the eight immortal when he says the Payne Haas decision to leave next year says so much more than what we are reading about. Two debuts for a couple of good young players in Toby Winter Newcastle and Bodhi Sharpley Titans on the weekend. Bodhi is a quality young man who has come through the Titans Pathways system and has excelled at every level. He has a huge career ahead of him and performed well on Sunday. Mitch Moses struck again with a last minute Oscars performance to get the Eels a penalty goal and win the game which could hurt the Cowboys going forward. The Titans are sailing along nicely and a big game this week against the heavyweights of Brisbane could secure them a top two finish. The addition of Teagan Levi has been a masterstroke and provided them with a genuine world class player.

FOOTY TIPPING POINTS LADDER

The NRRRL finals are locked and loaded ready to go with Murwillumbah finishing on top, albeit after a loss to the resurgent Mullumbimby Giants on the weekend. Casino held on to get two bites of the cherry running second and Seagulls snuck into sixth spot after a strong last round. Some big names for the Giants have them primed to give it a shake with Matt Moylan and Jacob Miller finding form at the right time. The evergreen Cody Nelson has turned back the clock and with young stars Cooper Murphy, Creedence Kelly-Donovan and Ryder Nelson in form they are a genuine chance taking on Lower Clarence this week. Mustangs have two minor premierships with the U18s locking up top spot a few weeks ago under the guidance of club great Sam O’Dea, Dylan Smith and Clancy Fallon. It shapes up as a great finals series. See you at the footy. Quinny

Book Week at Uki

3-5PM 7 DAYS A WEEK MEMBERS SPECIAL

BY 9:30 WEDNESDAY morning, the excitement at Uki Public School has reached fever pitch. The rustic outdoor assembly hall has been overtaken by wildly pumped, fictional characters, with every child and teacher transformed for Book Week. The students and parents have gone all out. A villager from Minecraft peers out from a strange digital mask. King Arthur stands in full regalia: heraldic tunic, crown, sword, shield and a slightly askew visor made from cloth. Principal Rachel Watkins studied drama and has a great sense of theatre. When Miss Watkins finally comes in and takes her seat on the stage, the music fades out and a hush falls over the room. She explains that Winnie-the-Pooh is the signature story for this year’s Book Week. The author’s son, Christopher Robin had a whole collection of stuffed toys, including a donkey, a piglet, and a tiger that he often took to play in the woods behind his home. Speaking as the hundred-year-old narrator, Miss Watkins said, “This inspired his father, my friend, Mr AA Milne, to write the stories about the characters we know today as Winniethe-Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga and Roo. And so, 100 years ago, in 1926, the story of Winnie-the-Pooh and all his friends was published. And now, it’s time for us to meet everybody.” The staff come onto the catwalk, dressed as characters from Winnie-the-Pooh, marking the 100th anniversary of the great children’s classic. Tigger, jazzy in an orange-and-black-striped onesie, bounds energetically across the stage. Heffalump slumps. Eeyore sulks, bees buzz around the honey, Kanga hops along the catwalk with Roo, a small, brown, live dog, tucked into her pouch. Then it’s time for the children, year by year, to parade around the area once then stop along

the catwalk. Miss Watkins goes to each child and asks who they are. Some are excruciatingly shy in front of a microphone, and others are bold and confident. Michael Jackson mingles with Cleopatra. Wednesday Addams is here, as are Mary Poppins, the Three Musketeers, a spy, Darth Vader with Yoda on his shoulder, a highway rat, Hello Kitty, and many more. Everywhere you look there is another ingenious creation, another familiar character brought to life. For an hour, the country school has shared their fantasy and imagination, to celebrate books.

Former student has new novel A FORMER Kingscliff High School student, who won the Sydney Morning Herald’s Young Writer of the Year Award as a teenager, is preparing to release her latest novel, 25 years after the characters that inspired it first began taking shape. Writer and ABC journalist Megan Jacobson’s new young adult novel, The Waiting Place, is being published on August 25 by Lothian Children’s Books. The novel follows 16-year-old Emily Woodward, who has spent her life in a high-control religious community and expects to be married at 18. After a fatal car crash, Emily finds herself in an afterlife where she watches her rebellious sister being sent to the Bad Line. Determined to save her, Emily escapes with Jackson, a teenage bank robber, and Xanthe, the seemingly perfect girl from her community. The unlikely trio must navigate an afterlife that transforms into the places where they spent their lives waiting, forcing them to confront the choices and fears that shaped them. Described as The Good Place meets a Tradwife TikTok account, The Waiting Place explores identity, friendship, forbidden romance and learning to judge people by their actions rather than who they are. Jacobson’s writing career began while she was at Kingscliff High, where she won the 2001 Sydney Morning Herald Young Writer of the

Megan Jacobson is launching a new novel

Year Award. Her first novel, Yellow, was shortlisted for several awards, while The Build-Up Season won the Australian Family Therapists’ Award for Children’s Literature and was shortlisted for a NSW Premier’s Literary Award. She has also worked as a script editor and story-liner on Australian television productions including Dance Academy and currently works as an ABC News TikTok producer and journalist. Jacobson is also hoping to return to Kingscliff High to speak with aspiring young writers. The Waiting Place will be published August 25 in paperback, priced at $19.99.

The Mojo Webb band ON FRIDAY, August 28, Tweed Valley Jazz and Blues will welcome back perennial club favourites the Mojo Webb Band. Expect a great night for all including dancers at Condong Bowling Club with their wonderful dance floor.

Mojo’s authentic blues sounds travel all the way back to the Delta, with overlays of the Chicago elements that came later. But the presentation is always fresh and vibrant, and you will feel Mojo’s love for the genre that he invests with his own personality and style.

NEXT WEEK, children across the Tweed will dress as favourite characters and share stories as Children’s Book Week returns. Beneath the costumes sits a serious purpose: helping children become readers. The latest NAPLAN results again show roughly one in three Australian students is not yet meeting national expectations in literacy and numeracy. NAPLAN cannot measure imagination, empathy or the joy of being swept into a book, but the figures sharpen an urgent question: how do we help more children want to read? This year’s Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) theme, Symphony of Stories, offers one answer - open more doors into story. StoryBox Hub selected award-winning Uki author, illustrator and composer Matt Ottley to give the theme a national voice and open its 2026 celebrations. Matt said the word “symphony” suggests not simply placing music beside narrative, but “the stories embedded in symphonies, and the symphonic possibilities of stories”. Through The Sound of Picture Books, Matt and co-director Tina Wilson combine words, images, original music, narration and live performance. “Music, story and image swirl around each other, merging and coming apart to create something broader and deeper than any one could be on its own,” Matt told The Weekly. On the project’s recent interstate tour, Tina

saw that effect in a room of kindergarten children while performing her book, Afloat in Venice. The students were mesmerised as music heightened the story’s emotions. When Monkey lost his camera and was suddenly alone, their faces fell. “One child yelled out, ‘Is there a happy ending?’” Tina said. There was - but the question revealed a roomful of children not merely watching, but feeling and thinking inside the story. That moment showed multimodal storytelling’s power to open another doorway into books. The Tweed is home to an extraordinary roll call of children’s creators: CBCA Honour Book co-author Hakea Hustler; prolific illustrator Tamsin Ainslie; Readings Children’s Book Prize winner and CBCA Notable author Jo Sandhu; and Murwillumbah illustrator Madeline White, whose Frogs Are Our Friends is shortlisted in this year’s CBCA Early Childhood category. Their work reminds us literacy is more than decoding words for a test. It grows through curiosity, emotional connection and the discovery that stories can be heard, seen, performed, shared - and loved. Children’s Book Week runs from Saturday, August 22, to Friday, August 28. Families can celebrate by sharing an Australian children’s book, visiting their local library or bringing a favourite story to life together. Visit cbca.org.au

A JOKE about Simba’s unusual diet has inspired an unlikely meeting between musical worlds. Caldera Chamber Ensemble brings The Beatles Meet the Lion King to Stokers Siding Memorial Hall on Sunday, August 23, pairing Beatles favourites with songs from Disney’s film. Conductor Barry Singh said the idea began with the moment Simba leaves his homeland and swaps meat for beetles and worms. “I turned it on its head and changed beetles to Beatles,” he told The Weekly. “It was a play on words and, surprisingly, the program works very well.” Audiences will hear Beatles classics including Hey Jude, Eleanor Rigby, Yesterday and Let It Be alongside Circle of Life, Hakuna Matata and Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Behind the playful premise is a chance to hear familiar music differently. Barry said the ensemble’s smaller scale can uncover details that might disappear within a fuller orchestral sound. “A chamber ensemble can bring out the more intimate parts of a composition that oftentimes the listener does not pick up.” Choosing the right arrangements is crucial. He said each must preserve the essence of the

original while giving musicians something fresh to explore. He singled out John Hosely’s arrangement of Let It Be for adding “extra artistic flair”. The concert continues his mission to dismantle the formality separating orchestras from their audiences. “For too long there has been a dichotomy between the orchestra and audience,” he said. “This has been detrimental to the whole concert experience.” The audience will be encouraged to sing during the finale, while children can attend dressed as Lion King characters. Barry’s Bakery will return with baked treats. Most ensemble members come from the Tweed and Gold Coast. Barry believes they return for the high musical standard and enjoyment of performing together. “Music, regardless of whether you are a performer or audience member, should be a joyful experience,” he said. Doors open at 1pm, Sunday August 23 at Stokers Siding Memorial Hall, 244 Stokers Road. Tickets cost $55 adults, $45 concession, $20 students and $10 primary school children. Book at trybooking.com/DOIOX or visit Murwillumbah Music Store.

GOLD COAST CARPET CLEANING 0410 907 080

FOR GOLD COAST CARPET CLEANING owners Josh and Ash, a clean carpet is about more than simply removing dirt – it is about creating a fresher, healthier and more inviting space for families and businesses. “We take pride in the quality of our work and making sure every customer is happy with the result,” Josh said. “We understand that every property is different, so we take the time to find the right approach for each job.” With years of industry experience, GC Carpet Cleaning uses advanced steam-cleaning technology and eco-friendly products to tackle everyday wear, stubborn stains, pet messes, odours, dust, bacteria and allergens. “We want customers to know they can rely on us,” Ash said. “We focus on providing a professional service, using safe products and delivering great results without making the process complicated.” The business offers a comprehensive range of cleaning services, including carpet and steam cleaning, upholstery, tile and grout, mattresses, rugs and mats, as well as end-of-lease cleaning across the Tweed Shire and Gold Coast. GC Carpet Cleaning also provides fast and reliable flood recovery services and pest control, helping property owners maintain cleaner, safer and healthier environments. The team’s commitment to customer service is reflected in the feedback it receives. “Great service, affordable, quick response. Josh was very helpful and honest. Would highly recommend!” said customer Rhiannon Pink. Rowan Daniel praised Josh’s professionalism, saying he was “friendly, professional and has a good attention to detail”, while also highlighting his competitive rates and the quality of service. Another customer said the team provided sameday service and “took on a challenging cleaning job

without hesitation”, adding: “I would not hesitate in using him again and would also recommend GC Carpet Cleaning services to others.” For Josh and Ash, building that level of trust is just as important as achieving a great clean. “We’re a local business and we genuinely care about the people we work for,” Josh said. “We want customers to be confident they’re getting honest advice, quality workmanship and value for money.” Whether it is a one-off deep clean or regular maintenance, GC Carpet Cleaning is ready to help make carpets, furnishings and homes cleaner, fresher and healthier.

SINESS FEATURED BU HI, I’M Chris Bleakley and I am the Owner of Valley Way Electrical. I along with my family have lived and worked in the Byron/ tweed shire for most of my life. My parents are local to Byron Bay and are a big inspiration for me as they have always contributed to their communities and I would love to follow in their footsteps and be an involved member of my local community in the Tweed Valley area. My wife and I bought land in Mooball and relocated a 1920’s Queenslander, where we plan to restore it to its former glory via a series of renovations. Last year we got married here on a property in Mooball in front of family and friends, it was a perfect reflection on why we love this area so much. At Valley Way Electrical we offer a wide range of services in residential and commercial work. RESIDENTIAL: We love helping to design and construct new custom-built homes, small or large-scale renovations, pools, installation of kitchen appliances or any additional circuits. Additional electrical fixtures: Lighting, power points, ceiling fans, smoke alarms, TV, phone, data, hot water systems. COMMERCI AL: We work with local businesses to meet and exceed their electrical needs. We regularly assist with new shop fit outs, test & tagging as well as emergency/ exit lighting. If you are need of any electrical assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us at Valley Way Electrical, we would love to hear from you. I have 20 years experience as an electrician, and I pride myself on my attention to detail and workmanship. In the beginning of my career as an apprentice I took my time perfecting the basics in a few key areas of the trade, such as general electrical installs,

VALLEY WAY ELECTRICAL 0475 910 622 appliance repair and preventative maintenance. Once I became a fully qualified electrician I worked for some companies in and around the Byron Bay area, during this time I began to work on more large-scale projects and more up-market homes including new builds. Due to the quality of my work I was given the opportunity to become the lead electrician within the previous company that I worked for before I started Valley Way Electrical. It has been a fulfilling journey in an area I am very passionate about, I’ve had the pleasure of working on some amazing projects, met some awesome people and even brushed shoulders with stardom when working for some “celebrity” clients. TESTIMONIALS:“Chris and his small team are easy to get along with, clean and tidy and have a no nonsense approach to their work. Big thumbs up for Chris and the team.” Robby Miles, RMC Build Pty Ltd “I heard about Chris from a builder who said if you want an electrician who really knows what they are doing then this is your man. Recommendations are always appreciated, so I called Chris from Valley Way Electrical, he gave me the time and day that he would be here for the job and even texted me on the day before he arrived. Chris goes about his work and gives you really good advice in a very professional and pleasant manner great communication skills which I feel is necessary for anyone in business today.” Rick, a regular client.

Chillingham brothers jump for heart health By Jonathon Howard

TWO CHILLINGHAM Primary students are once again jumping into action to raise awareness and funds for heart health, with Parks and Rupet Darragh preparing for their fifth year of Jump Rope for Heart. The brothers, from the small community of Chillingham, will take part in the fundraiser on August 28, representing their school of just 26 students. Year One student Rupet has already raised almost $700, while Year Five student Parks has reached $550, with several

weeks still remaining to boost their totals. Proud mum Nicole Darragh said the boys had raised close to $6,000 between them over the past five years. “For these boys, it has never been about gaining prizes or acknowledgement,” Ms Darragh said. “It is something they are very passionate about and they strive as a team to educate everyone, in their own words and ways, about how important life is, especially the health of your heart.” Health has a particularly personal meaning for the boys, with their father having experienced a workplace accident that resulted in an upper-limb amputation, along with other ongoing health challenges. The brothers have also developed a strong connection with people facing their own health battles through their regular visits to the Tweed Aquatic Centre. Ms Darragh said the boys spend time swimming and interacting with elderly people, people recovering from injuries and trauma, and those living with disabilities. “They see and are aware everyone lives with their own battles,” she said. “The smiles, support and care they give to each person they interact with is natural. They have built connections amongst these people and regard them as family.”

Their passion for health and helping others has made Jump Rope for Heart an important annual event for the brothers. Ms Darragh said the boys wanted to use the fundraiser to spread their message to people of all ages. “These two boys want to bring awareness to the young and old with their passion for health, so taking part in Jump Rope for Heart has huge meaning to them,” she said. With their August 28 challenge approaching, the brothers are hoping the community will get behind their efforts. “Every donation is kindness in their eyes, especially in a world at the present moment that needs genuine community support and kind helping hearts,” Ms Darragh said. The brothers will continue jumping, raising awareness and proudly representing their small Chillingham school.

Parks and Rupet Darragh from Chillingham Public School will jump their hearts out for the 5th year on August 28

Paperbark Deathcare & Funerals

In loving memory

Colleen Margaret Dorrough nee‘ Crompton

A little planning. A lot of love. Most funerals are planned by strangers, in a hurry, under pressure. Yours doesn't have to be. Pre-planning means the people you love spend less time making decisions — leave a map not a maze. A gentle conversation is all it takes to start.

Real Estate FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

AGENT OF THE WEEK

THIS WEEK we catch up with Agent of the Week, Dan Wise, who recently joined Raine and Horne Jet as a Sales Consultant and is a great local with some hot tips on the local property market. Born and raised in Murwillumbah, Dan brings amazing local knowledge, community connections and a decade of local business experience. Known for his professionalism and approachable nature, Dan is committed to honest advice, clear communication and personalised service. We caught up with Dan for a Q&A session. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO INTO REAL ESTATE?

After many years owning and operating a successful local hospitality and service-based business, I wanted to expand into a field where I could continue working closely with people, draw on my extensive local knowledge, and remain actively connected to the community I am proud to be part of. My experience as a business owner has given me a strong understanding of customer service, communication

and the importance of building lasting relationships, qualities I bring to my role in real estate. I’m excited to be part of Raine and Horne Jet, working alongside Jason, Liz and the team and continuing to build relationships within our local community. WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT REAL ESTATE?

I really enjoy meeting people, getting to know their stories and understanding what is important to them. Whether I am working with someone looking for their first home or helping our vendors navigate an important move, I value the opportunity to build genuine relationships and make what can be a significant life decision feel a little easier. For me, real estate is about much more than property. It is about listening, understanding people’s needs and being there to guide and support them through an important chapter in their lives. Being able to make a positive difference to people and help them move confidently into their next chapter is what makes real estate so rewarding • 2/6 Eastlakes, Tweed Heads South, 11–11:30am • 2 Azalea Court, Banora Point, 11:30am–12pm • 14 Valleyview Place, Terranora, 12–12:30pm • 16 Bosun Boulevard, Banora Point, 12–12:30pm • 43 Henry Lawson Drive, Terranora, 12–12:30pm • 22 Australia Drive, Terranora, 12:30–1pm • 20 Honeymyrtle Dr, Banora Point, 1–1:30pm • 26 Champagne Drive, Tweed Heads South,

for me.

WHAT’S YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR SELLERS?

WHAT TYPE OF PROPERTY ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT?

Be well prepared, understand the current market and choose an agent who will communicate openly and honestly with you. Every property and vendor is different, so having a clear strategy, realistic expectations and a strong marketing campaign can make all the difference in achieving the best possible result.

I have a genuine passion for all types of property, with residential property being my primary focus as I establish my real estate career. I also hold my Stock and Station Agent’s licence, so I am well placed to assist vendors looking to sell rural or lifestyle properties. For me, it is ultimately about helping people and achieving the best possible outcome, whatever type of property they are selling. WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU SEEN IN THE LOCAL MARKET?

One of the biggest changes I have seen is growing demand for properties offering lifestyle and value. Buyers are increasingly looking beyond traditional coastal areas to our beautiful hinterland communities, larger blocks and strong sense of community. Buyers are also more considered, researching carefully and focusing on value. Well-presented properties in the right location, particularly those offering something unique, continue to attract strong interest. • 36 Peninsula Dr, Bilambil Heights, 10–10.30am • 25/22 Binya Ave, Tweed Heads, 11–11.30am • 7/17 Murphys Rd, Kingscliff, 11–11.30am • 3 Compass Way, Tweed Heads, 12–12.30pm • 10 Owenia Circuit, Bilambil Heights, 12.15–1pm

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR BUYERS?

Know your budget, ask plenty of questions and keep an open mind. For first home buyers especially, don’t be afraid to ask for guidance. That’s what we’re here for. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

I enjoy taking my Bordoodle, Paris, for walks, spending quality time with family and friends, and making the most of a relaxing weekend away whenever I get the chance. I love the simple things: good company, being outdoors and exploring somewhere new. • 34 Chevell Place, Smiths Creek, 12.30–1pm • 837 Nobbys Creek Road, Nobbys Creek, 1.45–2.30pm
