Banora Point crime carnage A PRIVATE CREMATION — residents demand action! - $2,750 includes GST -

POLICE ARE investigating damage to multiple cars, obstacles placed on roads and footpaths causing an injury to a young man and a late-night fire in Banora Point between Thursday night, September 24 and Friday morning (Sept 25). There was a huge response to a social media post describing damage to one resident’s car, with many others describing damage to their vehicles and other serious incidents. “It was two teenage boys, around 12 or 13 years old, who kicked the mirror off and damaged multiple other cars,” the woman who wrote the original post told The Weekly. “I reckon there were probably 20 to 30 people with damage. “They video’d themselves doing it and posted it on social media.” The police now have that video. The woman said there was probably around $500 damage to her car. Social media reports in response to her post described vehicle damage in areas including Lochlomond Drive, Darlington Drive, Tyrone Terrace and Glen Ayr Drive, with several people reporting side mirrors being kicked or smashed from parked cars. Most local residents spoke to The Week-

ly on condition of anonymity, concerned about reprisals. Andrew, who asked that only his first name be used, said the culprits “certainly left a trail of damage” and hit his area between 2.30am and 4.30am. “My car had one of the mirrors kicked off, as did numerous other cars nearby,” he told The Weekly. “I’ve seen video and also have been given information about who is responsible, so I would hope the police will be active in ensuring they are charged and held accountable for the damage, or their parents at least. “It’s time something is done about all of this youth crime that is going on. “Unfortunately this state government is far too soft on youth crime.” Andrew said he thought it would cost $300 or $400 to replace and repair his mirrors. “I think damage to property and vehicles has been going on (in the area) for quite some time,” he said. “Most people just say it is a waste of time to report it, so there are probably far more that go unreported also.” Another resident said she saw numerous cars with damaged mirrors the following morning, while one man said his father’s car mirror was smashed and on the ground on Darlington Drive, near

Lochlomond Drive. There was damage to cars in Tyrone Terrace and Glen Ayr, with one resident claiming a vehicle had its mirrors smashed and offensive graffiti sprayed across it. The alleged vandalism has also been linked by residents to groups of young people riding e-bikes, although those claims have not been verified. The most serious account came from a local mum, whose son was injured after encountering what she described as makeshift “traps” of sandbags and a shopping trolley had been positioned across the footpath near Sexton Hill in the dark.

Missing Teeth?

DENTAL IMPLANTS

may be the solution for you!

Our new tourism team By Jonathon Howard

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made out of titanium, a biocompatible material surgically placed into the jaw bone. Dental Implants offer a secure solution to replace one or more teeth, providing a solid foundation for holding a crown, bridge, or denture. They look, feel and function like natural teeth. They are recommended to improve aesthetics, function (chewing) and speech. And they’re also easy to keep clean — just like your other teeth.

TWEEDS NEW tourism leaders say the shire must “resist chasing visitor numbers at all costs” as international recognition brings fresh attention and the inevitable question of how to avoid becoming another Byron Bay. Following the recent naming of the Tweed in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2027, the newly in-house Tweed Tourism Company is grappling with how to capitalise on the opportunity while protecting the shire’s lifestyle, environment and identity. The comments and feedback from Tweed residents after Lonely Planet’s announcement made it abundantly clear that residents are eager to protect the Tweed. Tweed Tourism Company Economy Lead Clinton Farlow, who heads up the team, said the recognition was significant, but the focus remained on attracting visitors who appreciated what the shire al-

Fight the good fight

I support Tweed Shire Council taking on the legal fight for inappropriate development applications to the Land and Environment Court (TVW, September 25, Page 3). To be soft on this would be a green flag to those who seek to profit from any weakness. It would also reward those who prefer to bypass regulations and community concerns that leave our community poorer both financially and in our standard of living. Our quality of life in the Tweed is maintained by keeping the balance right. Council is usually very thorough in their assessments and would not readily refuse development applications unless they had very serious concerns. How many times have we seen inappropriate approvals in the past that years later the community is still suffering from the impacts and paying for it in more ways than one. The community expects council to act in the communities and our environments best interests, and some could argue that council could have fought a lot harder in the past to refuse more of them. Recent wins are proof that council has made the right call in those cases. Irene Tims, Pottsville

Tread lightly on Tweed indeed

We would like to say we agree completely with Jennifer Greenwood’s letter (TVW, September 25, Letters). “Why is the old hospital site not used for the development they want to put on Cudgen farmland?” we quote. Your excellent and informative paper reports that the Tweed has being named one of the world’s standout destinations’ by the prestigious Lonely Planet Travel Guide Book and mentions the need to respect Bunjalung Country and help protect the shire’s natural environment. Whatever are the developers thinking of? Tweed Shire Council can’t support that. As you say: “the secret of Tweed’s beauty is out now and there’s a bid for visitors to tread lightly on the shire to avoid it being spoiled - like other loved destinations”. Once our beautiful river’s estuary is ruined with hideous over development it can never be recovered. Janice Lamb, Tweed Heads

Tweed as ‘daggy neighbour’ says Guardian

Regarding Susan Chennery’s September 23 article in the Guardian claiming that the Tweed is the “daggy” unglamourous working-class neighbour of the Byron Shire, it should be remembered that up until the end of whaling in 1962, Byron Bay was a heavily industrial working-class area supporting abattoirs, meat and dairy processing and sand mining along with whaling and whale processing. Towards the 1970s Byron Bay began to attract surfers and with Nimbin’s 1973 Aquarius Festival, alternative lifestyle settlers and environmentalists, as did the Tweed Shire. With John Cornell’s purchase of Byron Bay’s beach hotel in 1991, Byron Bay became an expensive celebrity

magnet while the Tweed Shire kept its mixed demographic of tradi-tional farmers and graziers along with environmentalists and alternatives, refugees from Byron Shire’s heavy tourism and climbing real estate prices, changemakers and pioneers such as Permaculturalist Bill Mollison, and the Hare Krishnas, alongside grazi-ers such as Max Boyd who, as a Tweed Shire Councillor and mayor, fought off Gold Coast-style developers, and Doug and Margot Anthony who first drove the high profile of visual arts in the Tweed. In the new millennium, Tweed was attracting tree changers with professional and hospi-tality skills, making Tweed centres like Murwillumbah pleasingly well serviced for their populations. Just so you know.

Your readers don’t have to believe me. The Land and Environment Court has a public website that tells it like it is and amply explains the chronic council legal bill blow-outs. Going forward, let’s have balanced council legal bill reports from Tweed Shire Council staff that inform us of past court cases lost/costs lost, why they have been lost, the pro-fessional governance lessons learnt the hard way, and a commitment that all future re-ports to council members will provide all objections to development applications as well as due diligence cautions where objections are not legally sustainable, and likely to be overturned on appeal at great cost to ratepayers.

Council court reports need due diligence cautions attached

I write regarding the recent reporting about the homeless camping along the Murwil-lumbah CBD levee (TVW, September 25, page 6). I would like to know where would the community like the “homeless” to go? I don’t see any of the locals offering any help to those from the local area but are willing to complain about it. I have lived here for almost 50 years and this is the worst I’ve seen it. I also don’t see anyone offering any suggestions on how to fix the problem. Council also haven’t made any suggestions in my opinion. They also don’t have any rights to move them on either according to a letter written 2025. There is a caravan park at Greenhills which hasn’t been occupied for some time. Why hasn’t this been allocated to the homeless campers, small caravans tents and swags. Churches can be opened at nighttime and provide accommodation and safety on a nightly basis. Schools closed during school holidays could also accommodate and provide a safe en-vironment from the elements. Lisa Palmero, Kirra

Kerry Stelling, Murwillumbah.

The recent council report repeats past shortcomings (TVW, September 25, page 3, Council legal costs). Yes, recalcitrants in breach of planning law need to be pursued with the full force of the law. In these cases legal costs can be offset fully or in part by court orders against the relacil-trants. However, the few cases cited of cost recovery are paltry compared to the substantial difference between the budget provision for legal outlays and the final expenditure out-comes. The published reports consistently fail to report Land and Environment Court decisions that go against the council and where costs are ordered against the council. These costs are not paid by council staff who recommend against developments that are found by the court to be compliant nor by the elected councillors who vote for con-sent refusals that are later found to be invalid. The costs are fully met by people who own rateable property within the Tweed Shire.

Steve Hoare, Tweed Heads

Council bound to enforce

I am sure the Tweed Shire Council could find many other more practical and deserving things to spend the $3.7million gobbled up by legal matters (TVW, September 25, Page 3). But what is the alternative? Council is bound to enforce and defend the many laws, by-laws and regulations that define it. So, I think the onus is on the private sector applicants to choose compliance and work with council rather than the adversarial approach to achieve outcomes. Anthony Malivanek, Bray Park

By Jonathon Howard

A PETITION calling for Tweed voters to directly elect their mayor has attracted around 275 signatures since early September, reigniting a long-running debate over who should choose the shire’s civic leader. Tweed resident Fabian Fabbro launched the Change.org petition, calling on Tweed Shire Council to hold a constitutional referendum on changing from a mayor elected by the seven councillors to one directly elected by voters for a four-year term. The petition argues the mayor represents residents, ratepayers and businesses across the Tweed and therefore should be directly chosen by the community. “I don’t think that’s good enough. The Mayor represents all of us, every resident, ratepayer and business across the Tweed,” Mr Fabbro wrote. “That person should be chosen by the people they represent, not by a vote among councillors.” The petition comes around a similar time as former mayor Chris Cherry stepped aside and nominated a successful bid, three-to-two vote, by Labor councillor Reece Byrnes, who is now Tweed’s new mayor. The petition has received around 275 signatures at the time of print. Under Tweed’s existing system, the seven councillors are elected by voters for four years, with councillors then choosing one of their number to serve as Mayor for two years. Council’s own annual report confirms Tweed has no wards and its mayor is elected by councillors. The NSW Electoral Commission says councils can hold a constitutional refer-

“It’s not about who

becomes mayor, but about how that person is selected.”

endum to determine whether the mayor should instead be popularly elected. Voting at such a referendum is compulsory, the result is binding if supported by a majority of formal votes, and an approved change takes effect at the next ordinary council election. However, the issue is far from new in the Tweed. Cr James Owen previously sought a referendum ahead of the 2024 council election to determine whether Tweed should move to a popularly elected mayor, but the proposal was defeated by his fellow councillors. Similar moves had been pursued in 2023. This debate is also not unique to Tweed and across NSW, councils use both systems. In fact, at the 2024 local government elections, voters directly elected mayors in 37 NSW councils. The issue has also been put directly to communities through referendums. Nearby Kyogle voters considered a proposal for a popularly elected mayor in 2024, with 62.7 per cent voting against and 37.3 per cent in favour. While Mr Fabbro’s petition is gaining signatures, his online posts promoting the proposal have also attracted mixed reactions online. One commenter questioned whether changing the system would alter the outcome: “How would this make

the result any different? Most people vote progressive on Tweed council so wouldn’t it still be a progressive mayor?” the response read. Another opposed direct election on the basis that Australia’s Westminster tradition generally involves voters electing representatives who then determine leadership. “Do we vote for state premiers? Do we vote directly for Prime Minsters? No, in the Westminster system we vote for members of an assembly and let them decide,” the commenter wrote. Others supported giving residents the final say, with one commenter responding: “you can get a rich bastard either way so why not vote for the one that you want?” Another simply described the proposal as a “Terrible idea”, while a further commenter responded: “Don’t think so”. Mr Fabbro maintains the campaign is not about who becomes mayor, but about how that person is selected. “That’s what this petition is asking for: not a particular candidate, not a political outcome, just the right to choose,” his petition states. YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you think Tweed ratepayers should vote for the mayor? Or do you support the current system?

Zebra crossing near misses By Jonathon Howard

A SERIES of near misses at pedestrian zebra crossings has prompted a call for drivers to “slow down and pay greater attention” with one Murwillumbah resident reporting a string of frightening near misses in a single day. The issue has opened a wider debate online around responsibility and awareness, after the resident said they had “almost been hit at every single pedestrian crossing in town by cars going ridiculously fast for a small town and not paying attention to the crossings” on Friday, September 25. “Please pay attention to the crossings,” the resident wrote, prompting numerous locals to share similar ex-

periences. The Weekly has withheld the names in this report.

“A pedestrian crossing doesn’t mean you can cross without looking.” One resident said the problem occurred “every single day”, while another described the Wollumbin Street crossing as particularly dangerous when vehicles are stopped in the right-turn lane. “The two-lane roadway on Wollumbin Street is especially dangerous when cars in right-turn lane

are stopped. Cars just zoom up the outside lane without a thought,” the resident said. Another reported a close call at the crossing near Sunnyside shopping centre. “Halfway across the crossing at Sunnyside, one car had stopped for me but the one on the outside lane went straight across in front of me,” another resident wrote. However, the discussion also highlighted confusion about exactly who is required to give way. Some commenters argued pedestrians should wait until vehicles have stopped before stepping onto a crossing, with one post reading: “Just because it is a pedestrian crossing doesn’t mean you can cross without looking.” However, under the NSW Road Rules Legislation the legal obligation at a zebra crossing is clear once a pedestrian is on the crossing. Rule 81 requires a driver approaching a pedestrian crossing to travel at a speed that allows them to stop safely before it (not on the crossing) and to give way to any pedestrian on the crossing. “Give way” means slowing and, if necessary, stopping to avoid a collision, according to the law. Drivers are also prohibited from overtaking or passing a vehicle travelling in the same direction that is stopping or has stopped to give way to a pedestrian at a crossing — particularly relevant to the multi-lane near misses described by some Murwillum-

bah residents. NSW Government road safety advice says drivers must slow down and prepare to give way when approaching pedestrian crossings, with extra time potentially needed for children and older people. However, NSW Police has also advised people never to assume a driver has seen them or intends to stop but to instead: “remain aware of their surroundings and avoid crossing while distracted by mobile phones or headphones”. Motorists who fail to give way at a pedestrian crossing can be fined and lose demerit points. However, if a pedestrian is struck and seriously injured or killed, the repercussions can be serious and include negligent driving occasioning

grievous bodily harm or death, with penalties that can include imprisonment and licence disqualification. It should be noted that these concerns are not new. Tweed Shire Council’s Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan identified a cluster of pedestrian crashes around Brisbane and Wollumbin streets in Murwillumbah, associated with people crossing the road. In 2019, The Weekly also reported a 43-year-old pedestrian suffered a head injury after being struck by a vehicle on Wollumbin Street.

Migrant worker concerns By Jonathon Howard

SERIOUS CONCERNS about the exploitation of some migrant workers has sparked renewed calls for NSW to introduce a labour hire licensing scheme, amid evidence operators banned or refused licences in Queensland are crossing the border into to operate in the Tweed. The issue has implications for the wider Northern Rivers, where labour hire workers are widely used across agriculture and hospitality, including macadamia, berry and avocado farms, as well as hotels, restaurants and holiday accommodation. While there are many legitimate landholders who are not exploiting migrant workers and are complying with the NSW legislation, there is growing concern that some unsavoury operators from Queensland have been pushed into NSW. NSW currently has no labour hire licensing scheme, despite licensing systems operating in Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT, hence the move south. The NSW Government acknowledges workers can be particularly vulnerable to exploitation in industries including farming, hospitality, cleaning, construction and meat processing. The seriousness of the issue was highlighted in August when the NSW Government confirmed it was monitoring allegations that a small number of informal labour hire syndicates operating on North Coast berry farms may be involved in illegal labour exploitation. The NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner had referred allegations involving labour hire firms in the Coffs Harbour-Nambucca Valley region to law enforcement agencies, with the government saying the alleged

practices could place working holiday makers, international students and Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme workers at risk. State Member for Lismore and NSW Minister for the North Coast Janelle Saffin told The Weekly that any worker exploitation is “deeply concerning”. “It concerns me that any worker is exploited and we must do, and we are doing, all we can to catch it and prevent it,” she said. “Since 2023, the NSW Government has been working closely with the Federal Government and other jurisdictions to set up a harmonised national labour hire licensing system. “In October 2025, the Queensland, Northern Territory and Tasmanian governments pulled out of this approach and remaining jurisdictions, including the Federal Government, instead agreed to develop national harmonised principles to underpin current and future labour licensing schemes. “It remains the preference of the NSW Government for there to be a nationally harmonised labour hire licensing scheme because we know these operators don’t stop at borders. “However, the NSW Government is examining all options including implementing its own labour hire licensing scheme and our officials are working with Queensland and Victoria and reviewing the licensing models operating interstate to inform our approach.” Pressure for action has intensified from Unions NSW, following investigations into the treatment of temporary migrant workers. Unions NSW said further analysis of interstate licensing records has identi-

fied 171 businesses with licence cancellations or refusals that show evidence of operating in NSW and has called on the government to introduce a dedicated licensing system. Earlier research by the McKell Institute identified 63 operators stripped of licences in Queensland or Victoria that were trading in NSW, with researchers warning the figure was likely an undercount. A NSW parliamentary inquiry into modern slavery risks faced by temporary migrant workers in rural and regional NSW has also recommended urgent action to introduce labour hire licensing. The committee’s report was tabled on August 6. Unions NSW Secretary Mark Morey said the absence of a licensing scheme left vulnerable workers exposed. “The case for labour hire licensing is compelling and we need to get cracking unless we want to see more stories of people sleeping in their car on Christmas Day. In a wealthy, developed society like Australia, this sort of cruelty is unfathomable,” he said. “The evidence shows that unscrupulous operators are targeting NSW because it doesn’t have a licensing scheme. “We need to close this loophole and give migrant workers the support they need. “The Northern Rivers has always looked after people who come here to work. “It should not be a soft target for operators who have been run out of Queensland and Victoria.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Does your business rely on migrant workers across the Tweed or Northern Rivers? The Weekly is interested in your thoughts and feedback around migrant workers. Send the editor an email via: editor@theweekly.net.au

It's a thumbs up for Salt SLSC from Sunrise weather reporter Sam Mac

Sunrise report from Tweed THE CHANNEL Seven Sunrise weather team was at Salt Beach, Kingscliff, on Monday, September 28, as part of a regional broadcast tour celebrating local community spirit, beach safety and regional tourism. The segments put the spotlight on Salt Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC), showcasing its volunteer lifesaving operations, beach safety initiatives and popular Nippers program. Local residents and Salt SLSC members were just as excited as the club’s Nippers to be invited down to take part in the live weather crosses on the national broadcast. The weather team, led by reporter Sam Mac, watched the Nippers in action and interviewed Junior Activities Coordinator Dean Clifton about the club’s Nippers program. Tim Jack Adams, who runs Watersports Guru, was also in the spotlight, talking about all the things to see and do in the Tweed Shire. “We talked about the different water sport activities you can do around the Tweed, snorkelling with the turtles, whale watching, kayaking up Cudgen Creek and then Mindfulness in the Mangroves with paddleboards,” Tim said. Farm & Co venue manager Amy Brown and chef Grace did a cook-up of their Tommy Toast by the beach, while Hosanna Farmstay also featured on the program. The broadcast highlighted Kingscliff and the broader Tweed Coast and Tweed Shire as premier travel destinations, and comes in the wake of the Tweed Shire being named one of Lonely Planet’s top 50 global must-visit destinations for 2027.

Banora Point crime chaos Continued from page 3. “My son went riding down to grab milk from 7-Eleven but ran into this on his way, sending him airborne a good eight metres,” she said. “He got very smashed up, hitting his head badly. “He will be fine but he is sore all over. “He just graduated Year 12 and was happy and had just gone to get milk, so it’s sad for him.” She said her son also encountered another obstruction near the top of Sexton Hill on his way home. “The same thing happened at the lights on top of Sexton Hill,” she said. “He saw it on the way home, and saw a car swerve and crash.” The woman said the experience had left her angry and worried about what could happen to other pedestrians, cyclists or people using mobility scooters. “It’s simply not on,” she said. “I’m pissed off that my child got hurt. It has got to stop.”

Graffiti sprayed on one resident's car

Damage to a car in Lochlomond Drive

There were also shopping trolleys over the four lanes in Leisure Drive out the front of the Ampol Service Station in the early hours Sunday morning. Another resident described a frightening incident at her Shamrock Avenue home when a fire was allegedly lit in their kerbside pick-up pile outside their home late at night. The woman said her daughter was awake at around 9.30pm when she felt intense heat. They were alerted by her screams. “Someone had set our lounge, daybed and

other very flammable items on fire,” she said. The woman said the fire was close to her car and spread to grass and artificial turf around the family’s pool. “It was actually huge and just so dangerous that we have idiots like this running around at night vandalising cars and now a bit of arson. Very scary,” she said, particularly because the family was asleep inside the home. Police ask that all such incidents are reported either to Crimestoppers 1800 333 000 or Tweed Byron Police.

Elderly fearful of e-bike teen gang RESIDENTS IN an over-50s complex in Banora Point say they are increasingly concerned about groups of young e-bike riders gathering in the area after dark, with some elderly residents reportedly frightened to venture outside. Sara, who asked we use her first name only, said she had contacted police several times in the past six months over what she described as vandalism and intimidating behaviour

involving a group of young riders. “I honestly don’t know everything because I didn’t witness every incident, but that gang of e-bikers are little vandals,” Sara said. The 65-year-old said she had contacted police after witnessing behaviour including damage to a bus stop, graffiti and the use of water pistols directed at oncoming cars. “I’ve literally said it to their faces and they laugh and say, ‘Bring it on’,” she said.

She said some of the riders were out late at night, sometimes around 10pm or 11pm, and could be seen from her home on Leisure Drive. “I can identify one of them as he has dyed blonde hair and a fake purple ponytail,” she said. Continued in our Seniors Feature on page 21.

Do you know these men? AN ELDERLY man’s mobility scooter has been stolen from Tweed Heads South on Wednesday, September 16, with police asking for help identifying two men they want to speak to. Tweed Byron Police said that between 10am and 11am on that day an 83-year-old man left his mobility scooter parked with keys removed at Tweed City Shopping Centre, near the Kirkwood Road entrance. When the man returned, his scooter was missing. CCTV video has been obtained and shows two men that police believe may be able to assist police with their investigation. Police apologised for the poor quality of the images taken from the CCTV video. Anyone with information is urged to contact Tweed Heads Police Station on 07 55069499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au.

Harassment, monitoring or tracking was the most common, identified in 59 per cent of incidents, followed by threats or intimidation at 55 per cent and financial abuse at 54 per cent. Physical violence was identified in one-third of incidents and sexual violence in 19 per cent. The report found 95 per cent of coercive control victims were female, while 93 per cent of incidents involved a female victim and male alleged offender. Almost half of victims — 47 per cent — had previously been recorded by NSW Police as victims of domestic and family violence. Coercive control also frequently occurred alongside other alleged offences, with multiple offences recorded in 60 per cent of events. Between July 2024 and June 2026, 42 coercive control charges were laid across NSW. Four had been proven by June 30, including two resulting in imprisonment, while 32 remained before the courts. The figures represent incidents recorded by NSW Police and therefore do not necessarily reflect the full prevalence of coercive control in the community.

COERCIVE CONTROL incidents are increasing across NSW, with Northern NSW recording rates above the state average during the first two years of new laws targeting controlling and abusive behaviour in intimate relationships. The latest Coercive Control Monitoring Report from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) shows 30 incidents were recorded across the Richmond-Tweed region between July 2024 and June 2026. Richmond-Tweed recorded a rate of 11.4 incidents per 100,000 people, 1.4 times the NSW rate of eight per 100,000. The repor t covers the broader Richmond-Tweed statistical region and does not provide figures specifically for Tweed Shire. Statewide, quarterly incidents rose from 72 in the September quarter of 2024 to 103 in the June quarter of 2026 — the highest quarterly figure during the reporting period. BOCSAR said the offence relates to “abusive behaviours directed towards a current or former intimate partner with the intention to coerce or control them”. “The offence captures repeated patterns of physical or non-physical abuse used to hurt, scare, intimidate, threaten or control someone,” the report states. Across NSW, 682 coercive control incidents were recorded during the two years, including 443 in regional NSW and 239 across Greater Sydney. Regional NSW recorded a rate of 15.2 incidents per 100,000 people, almost twice the NSW average and more than three times Greater Sydney’s rate of 4.3. Coffs Harbour-Grafton recorded 23 incidents at a rate of 15.3 per 100,000, while the Mid North Coast recorded 25 incidents at 10.6. BOCSAR found an average of four distinct controlling behaviours were involved in each

Tweed Valley Bridge (aka Murwillumbah bridge) requires a more work this year and into 2027

SINGH’S IS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

Bridge works update A FRESH CHAPTER BEGINS

By Jonathon Howard

Will be closed from 1st October and re-opening Wednesday 7th October

TWEED RESIDENTS wondering what’s happening underneath the Tweed River Bridge (aka Murwillumbah bridge) have been given an update this week, with maintenance works now expected to continue into early next year. Work has been progressing around the bridge since April and Transport for NSW has confirmed the works are part of essential maintenance and that additional repairs have been identified since the project started. A Transport for NSW spokesperson told The Weekly there were “no major works planned for the bridge”, but more time is needed. “The NSW Government is investing in essential bridge maintenance work on Tweed River Bridge (Murwillumbah bridge), Murwillumbah,” the spokesperson said. “In April this year, Transport for NSW started maintenance work on Tweed River Bridge to ensure the ongoing longevity of the bridge. “Transport identified additional work required to ensure its structural integrity and extend its operational lifespan.” The additional work includes cleaning and repairing the bridge’s concrete piers and in-

stalling cathodic protection systems designed to prevent further damage and corrosion. “This work is a part of the NSW Government’s ongoing investment in bridge maintenance across NSW,” the spokesperson said. “Essential bridge maintenance work is scheduled across NSW on a routine basis. “There are no planned major works on the Tweed River Bridge.” Most of the work will take place underneath the bridge, with crews accessing the piers by boat from a temporary pontoon. However, motorists can expect some temporary traffic changes when work needs to be undertaken on the bridge deck. During these periods, single-lane alternating traffic arrangements and a reduced 40 kilometres per hour speed limit will be introduced, with motorists advised allowing up to an additional 10-minute travel time. Transport for NSW has asked motorists to observe reduced speed limits and follow the directions of traffic controllers and signage while works are underway. The maintenance project is expected to be completed in early 2027, weather permitting.

A safer road, a new footpath and thousands of native rainforest plants are planned for this section of Old Lismore Road.

Old Lismore Road upgrade brings safer hill and 4,000 rainforest plants Every parent in Hundred Hills knows the hill. The short, steep stretch of Old Lismore Road between North Arm Road and the bottom of the dip, where the canopy closes over, the road narrows to barely a car and a half and there is nowhere to walk but the gutter. Drivers know it too. Meet a car coming the other way and one of you stops. Meet a kid on a scooter and you hold your breath. That is about to change. Work starts soon on a 240 m upgrade that will widen the road for 2-way traffic, lay a new surface, fix the drainage that has been quietly wrecking the old one and build a lit footpath connecting the paths on Old Lismore Road to the network on North Arm Road. For families on the western side of Murwillumbah, it closes the last missing link between home and town. Making room means saying goodbye to trees. Most of the 152 trees and shrubs being removed from the verge are camphor laurels, invasive giants that have

crowded out the rainforest that once grew here. Camphors look like old-growth forest, but they are not. They took over the Northern Rivers after the original rainforest was cleared, and under that canopy the real rainforest is trying to come back as saplings and understorey but cannot get through. Take the camphors out and the forest that belongs here has a chance to recover. Council's designers went back to the drawings again and again to keep the natives. A towering white fig in the gully stays. A dense stand of vulnerable Davidson's plum stays. On the North Arm Road corner, a native beech, a native elm and a cluster of hard quandongs stay. The 3 large native trees that could not be saved sit right on the road edge, where no design could get around them. And here is the part worth getting excited about. For every single tree removed, camphors included, 25 native plants will go in the ground. That is 2,800 rainforest trees and shrubs on the western bank and

on the Council land beside the SES shed, plus 1,200 Lomandra to hold the new slopes together. Every threatened plant affected is replaced 3 for 1, and Council will nurse the whole site for 3 years to make sure it takes. What is going back is not just any greenery. It is lowland subtropical rainforest, the forest that covered this hill before the camphors moved in. Give it a decade and the walk down Old Lismore Road will be through a canopy of native trees. Even the removed trees get a job. They will be mulched on site to smother the grass before planting begins. Residents can expect some traffic changes while the work is under way. Old Lismore Road will be closed to all through traffic between North Arm Road and Riveroak Drive. Council will keep the community updated as the project progresses.

Council trivia Did you get last week's question right? Answer: D.

Cabarita skatepark is one of 3 Tweed skateparks scheduled for maintenance works over the coming months.

Skatepark maintenance works rolling out across Tweed Maintenance works will soon begin at 3 Tweed skateparks to keep the facilities well-maintained and ready for the community to enjoy. Council will carry out maintenance works at the skateparks in Cabarita, Tweed Heads South and Knox Park over the coming months. Works will include pressure cleaning, graffiti removal, crack and joint repairs, concrete surface treatments and protective sealing. These improvements will help extend the life of the skateparks and ensure they remain in good condition for users. Each skatepark will be temporarily closed while works

are underway. Temporary fencing will be installed around the work areas for safety. The works are scheduled in the following order: • Cabarita skatepark: mid-October to midNovember 2026 • Tweed Heads South skatepark: following the completion of works at Cabarita • Knox Park skatepark: after the Christmas school holidays in early 2027. All works are subject to weather and site conditions. Visit tweed.nsw.gov.au/current-projects for updates on closures and project progress.

During the 2024–2025 financial year, thousands of community members helped save around 200 tonnes of material from going to landfill by reusing and recycling items from the JUNKtion Tip Shop. The JUNKtion Tip Shop sells quality used, recycled and second‑hand items that are recovered before they reach landfill, giving them a second life and supporting the establishment of the circular economy. Visit the shop to discover great‑quality second‑hand goods at bargain prices, while helping reduce waste in our community.

Tweed recognised among the world's best for 2027 The Tweed has been named in Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2027, the only Australian destination on the list and one of just 3 in Oceania alongside Dunedin in New Zealand and New Caledonia. The annual list of 50 destinations and experiences is chosen by Lonely Planet's writers around the world and released ahead of the holiday planning season, when travellers are deciding where to go next year. It is one of the most watched lists in travel, and a place on it puts the Tweed in front of readers on every continent. Lonely Planet said this year's picks follow what travellers are asking for: a chance to slow down, escape the crowds and find something real. It praised the Tweed's coastline, ancient rainforest and riverside villages and pointed to the Northern Rivers Rail Trail and the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk as reasons the region has grown as a food and outdoors destination. "The space between the Gold Coast and Byron Bay isn't one you want to speed through," Lonely Planet's Oceania editor Jessica Lockhart said. "It's a destination in its own right, and one that's worth lingering in."

Ted Bear Tree stays a priority as intersection plans progress Recent vegetation work along Fraser Drive at Terranora has raised questions in the community about the future of a local favourite: the fig tree known as the Ted Bear Tree, on the corner of Fraser Drive and Amaroo Drive. The work was routine vegetation maintenance nearby. The tree itself didn't need any work. Council discussed the tree at its meeting on Thursday 18 June 2026, when it considered the Broadwater Parkway Intersections Options Assessment. Council did not endorse removing the tree. Instead, it made keeping the tree healthy a key objective of the Broadwater Parkway construction. Council also asked for more modelling of options for an intersection or roundabout. The aim is to limit the impact on nearby homes while avoiding significant harm to the tree. A consultant arborist has been engaged to report on the best ways to care for the tree into the future. This includes any pruning needed to reduce risks to traffic on Fraser Drive. Council will consider the intersection design options

The recognition comes as the Tweed's food, arts and nature experiences mature into a visitor economy of their own, from farm gates and distilleries in the hinterland to Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre in Murwillumbah. For local operators it means new audiences, and for the region it means more people arriving to spend time rather than pass through. Lonely Planet also singled out the Tweed Visitor Pledge, a voluntary promise visitors make before they arrive to tread lightly, support local businesses and respect Bundjalung country. The pledge sets out the kind of tourism the Tweed wants: careful, local and kind to the places people come to see. "This is our home. It's where we live and where we raise our families, and we want visitors to experience it the way we do," Visitor Economy Lead Clinton Farlow said. "This recognition opens our local operators up to new audiences and helps us grow the region in a sustainable way." Read and share the Tweed Visitor Pledge at visitthetweed.com.au/pledge

Investigation into plane overrun at local airfield The Cessna overshot the runway and ended up in a cane drain. Images by Fire & Rescue NSW

By Jonathon Howard

AIR GOLD COAST has confirmed one of its Cessna 172 Skyhawk aircraft was involved in a runway overrun at Murwillumbah Airfield on Saturday, September 26, with two people on board taken to hospital for observation. The aircraft is owned and operated by Air Gold Coast Flight Training, Jet Charter and Aircraft Maintenance and sustained damage in the overrun after landing in Murwillumbah. Air Gold Coast manager Peter Long told The Weekly the Cessna ran off the runway at about 9am and came to rest in a cane drain. “Both people on board were okay following the incident and they were taken to hospital for observation,” he said. Mr Long said an investigation would determine the cause. He said the aircraft was insured. Fire & Rescue NSW Station 391 Murwillum-

bah firefighters were called to aid in the plane’s recovery at about 9.20am. “The occupants had already exited the aircraft and were treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to hospital for observation,” Murwillumbah firefighters said. Murwillumbah firefighters were assisted by the Murwillumbah Rural Fire Service, Tweed District Rescue Squad – VRA Rescue NSW, Tweed/Byron Police and Fire and Rescue NSW Station 468 Tweed Heads. “A crane was later brought to the airfield to recover the aircraft from the drain,” Fire & Rescue said. “Firefighters maintained fire protection during the recovery operation as the aircraft was lifted from the drain and moved to a safer location.” Murwillumbah firefighters said the unusual incident also provided crews with valuable experience in responding to aviation emergencies.

CONCERNS THE much-loved Ted Bear Tree at Terranora was about to be removed were short-lived last week, after Tweed Shire Council confirmed crews were carrying out routine vegetation management. The Weekly received a call from a concerned resident on Wednesday, September 24, after a chipper and cherry picker were spotted near the prominent fig tree at the intersection of Fraser Drive and Amaroo Drive. The sight of the machinery immediately raised concerns about the future of the Ted Bear Tree, which has been at the centre of debate over plans for the Broadwater Parkway and future development in the area. However, council and arborists working at the site confirmed there were “no works required on the tree itself”. “Routine vegetation management along Fraser Drive at Terranora has prompted community concerns for the future of a much-loved fig tree, known to locals as the Ted Bear Tree,” a council spokesperson told The Weekly. The tree’s future has attracted significant community interest because of plans for new road

“the future of the prominent fig is not yet determined” infrastructure needed to cater for the expanding residential areas around Terranora. Options considered as part of the Broadwater Parkway Intersections Options Assessment raised the prospect that the tree could be impacted or removed to accommodate a new intersection. However, at its June 18 meeting, councillors did not endorse removing the Ted Bear Tree and

have sort a further report to explore alternatives. Instead, councillors requested that retaining the tree “in a healthy condition” be made a key objective of the Broadwater Parkway construction. Council also called for further modelling of intersection and roundabout options that would limit impacts on neighbouring homes while avoiding significant adverse impacts on the tree. A consultant arborist has since been engaged to report on how the tree and others in the area can best be managed, including any pruning required to reduce risks to traffic using Fraser Drive. “While in this recent case there were no works necessary on the Ted Bear Tree, from time to time it may require maintenance, which will be undertaken under the supervision of a qualified arborist,” council told The Weekly. The future of the prominent fig is not yet completely settled, with council due to consider the intersection design options and the consultant arborist’s report at its October 22 meeting.

PRIDE

Thursday, October 1, 2026 Seniors

For our

with Tweed Senior Ambassador Karen Dawson

Generations grow together THE MURWILLUMBAH co-mentoring program continues to inspire us with proof that age is no barrier to friendship, understanding and learning. In the third of our intergenerational editorial series, The Weekly is proud to give local readers further insight into this unique co-mentoring program which has been taking place in Term 3 between Murwillumbah High School students and Tweed seniors. Our local paper has kindly continued the Eldership Pride series this week with another in the collection of profiles written by the participants themselves, offering an engaging and often touching glimpse into lives separated by generations. The initiative, developed through the Tweed Shire Council Senior Ambassador award, paired students with retired members of the community to encourage conversation, curiosity and connection. Unlike traditional mentoring, where knowledge and experience generally flow in one direction, co-mentoring recognises that both generations have something valuable to teach — and plenty to learn. Each pair interviewed one another before writ-

ing a profile of their partner, discovering along the way that despite differences in age, upbringing and life experience, they often had more in common than they might have expected. The Weekly has been delighted to provide a platform for these stories and to celebrate a local initiative that brings generations together while giving young writers the opportunity to see their work published in their community newspaper. The students’ names have been reduced to initials for privacy, but their personalities — and those of their senior partners — shine through their writing. We hope readers enjoy the third instalment of this special series and continue following along as The Weekly celebrates the people, conversations and connections that make our community special. I’ve used Karen’s preferred opening, changed “third week running” to “third of our intergenerational editorial series”, removed the personal ownership of the Eldership Pride series, and changed “another collection” to “another in the collection”.

Elder Peter L on Student F STUDENT F has a passionate interest in art, mythology and ancient history. Her primary focus is the Greek and Egyptian civilisations and this includes food, clothing and lifestyle. Her dad shares similar interests and offers F many interesting hours of evening discussion on how mythology and art shaped the lives of ancient people. She is also an active participant in research work on plant toxins and medicine. F lives on a small farm with her mum, dad, brother and sister. Her mum, aunt and grandmother own a plant nursery that offers her an ideal way of doing her plant research. It is the plant research that will probably shape her future endeavours. She hopes to study a branch of medicine that encompasses her interest in plant toxins, medicine and related research. The future for F looks bright, and I wish her well.

Student F on Elder Peter L PETER IS a retired accountant. Born in Sydney, he moved to Queensland to work as an accountant on a mine expansion project. He stayed there for four years before moving on to another mining project in the Hunter Valley. He enjoyed country life and has many outdoor interests, such as scuba diving, camping, biking and road trips. He’s particularly passionate about scuba diving. (An interest his wife didn’t share – she preferred to stay home and look

after the garden!) He took many trips to the Reef when he was younger, often going with work colleagues. An especially memorable experience he shared with me was the day he saw a pod of whales. The boat stopped after spotting the whales, and three of Peter’s colleagues jumped in and swam with them. Not joining them is something he still regrets. Peter now lives in Tweed Heads, and has two kids and three grandkids. In retirement he keeps his mind and body active with regular camping and biking.

HeyDay now in Tweed HEALTH FUND REMINDER

By Jonathon Howard

YOUR HEALTH FUND LIMIT ENDS

“CARING FOR someone else starts with caring for yourself”, says HeyDay Supports CEO Peter Devine, who is pleased to announce HeyDay’s new day centre is open in Murwillumbah. Mr Devine said aged care workers hear time and again from carers who only access our services when they’re at a crisis point and tell us: “I wish I’d done this sooner.” “We recognize that a family member caring for someone with dementia is an act of love, but it can also be demanding, exhausting, and isolating,” he said. “If you’re a carer, one of the useful things that you can do when you receive an aged care assessment or get a Support at Home Package is ask about Centre-Based Respite. “It sounds like sector jargon, but it simply means the person you care for spends the day at a day program that is safe, supportive and engaging — leaving you with some well-earned time to yourself.” HeyDay has recently opened across the street from the community centre in Murwillumbah and offers not-for-profit aged care with in-home support and centre-based respite and dementia-specific day programs. “At centres like HeyDay’s, older people enjoy live music, healthy food, arts, games and time with friends,” Mr Devine said. “It helps them stay active, keep their minds engaged and get social – which is particularly important for people who may have become more isolated.” For their carers, Mr Devine explains, the time they get back is invaluable to their wellbeing and ability to remain in a caring role. “One husband has been able to return sailing with his mates.

Cooking for one: Making mealtimes easier Cooking for one can sometimes feel like more effort than it is worth. Buying ingredients, preparing a complete meal and washing up afterwards can be time consuming, particularly when you only need a single serve. Fresh ingredients are also commonly sold in larger quantities, making it difficult to use everything before it spoils. This can lead to food waste, repeated leftovers or choosing a quick snack instead of preparing a balanced meal. Keeping a selection of frozen meals at home can make everyday mealtimes much easier. There is no need to plan days in advance or worry about fresh food going to waste. You can simply choose what you feel like eating and heat only the amount you need. Gourmet Meals offers a wide variety of complete frozen meals made with quality ingredients. With comforting roasts, chicken, seafood, pasta and vegetarian options available, you can enjoy something different throughout the week

without buying numerous ingredients or spending hours in the kitchen. Individual portions can also help make serving the right amount easier while reducing unnecessary waste. Having meals readily available is particularly helpful on days when shopping, cooking or standing in the kitchen feels more difficult than usual. The Gourmet Meals is reviewed by an accredited practicing dietitian approved and snap frozen to preserve its flavour and quality. Meals can be heated from frozen in just minutes, providing a convenient option for people living independently, managing a busy schedule or simply wanting an occasional break from cooking. With a selection of meals in the freezer, you can enjoy greater variety and make mealtimes simple, satisfying and enjoyable.

Continued from page 10. “Well, it’s difficult for seniors to approach these ratbags as they are scary in large groups.” “I’m only 65, but most of the residents are in their 80s and they are petrified.” Sara said she had been taking extra precautions during the school holidays, including bolting her gate because it led directly onto the street. She also believes there may be more than one group of riders involved. “There is one group that are just naughty, doing wheelies up and down the median strip, scaring drivers — or should I say intimidating them,” she said. Sara said she believed the riders often meet at Coles after dark and suspects they may be responsible for vehicle damage in Darlington Drive last Thursday night, although she didn’t witness those incidents. “When I see a post that cars have been damaged in Darlington, I know — or I suspect — it’s that gang, as they go down Leisure Drive and into Darlington,” she said.

Sara said she did not believe all e-bike riders should be treated in the same way. “There are a lot of responsible e-bike riders, 16 and over,” she said. “I don’t want to brand all e-bike riders in one box.” Sara believes stronger regulation of e-bikes is needed in NSW. “NSW needs the same laws as Queensland for e-bikes as most of these kids are kids under 14 or 15,” she said. “Licences (for riders) and riders have to be 15 years of age. “It also comes down to parenting. Do these parents not care or have no control?” “I don’t think they are trying to scare people, rather just being public menaces and vandals. “Honestly, it has to change. It’s becoming out of control. “The police just can’t be everywhere at once, and these kids know it.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Have you had a scare, near miss or been intimidated by e-biker riders?

Still dancing after 60 years Cabarita surfer By Jonathon Howard

LOVE CAN truly last a lifetime, but it takes work, something Banora Point couple Vicki and Bob McElveney know well as they prepare to celebrate an extraordinary 60 years of marriage. The couple will mark their Diamond Wedding Anniversary on October 8, six decades after exchanging vows at Our Lady of the Rosary in Kensington, Sydney, in 1966. Their love story began a few years earlier in fitting fashion, like many from that era, on a dance floor. Vicki and Bob met at a rock ’n’ roll

dance in Sydney in the early ‘60s, when the world was swinging, beginning a relationship that would grow into a life filled with family, hard work, music and a commitment to keep on dancing. Together they raised two children, David and Sharon, and are now proud grandparents to three grandsons. Sharon wrote to The Weekly to share this heartfelt family story that love can last forever. Throughout their working lives, Vicki and Bob shared a goal of working hard enough to retire early and have more time to enjoy life together. The Tweed eventually became an important part of that plan. For many years the couple made the annual journey north from Sydney to enjoy Cooly Rocks On and the music and dancing they had loved since they first met. After falling in love with the region, they eventually decided to make Banora Point their home. Retirement certainly hasn’t meant slowing down. Rock ’n’ roll music and dancing remain a big part of their lives and, 60 years after their wedding, the couple can still regularly be found sharing the dance floor on Saturday nights. They also maintain their own sporting interests, with Bob enjoying regular rounds of golf at Banora Point while Vicki

A CABARITA surfer has been rammed off his surfboard by a suspected bull shark at Cabarita Beach on Sunday, September 27, 2026, but survived unscathed, the second miraculous escape at the popular surf spot in 13 months. 53-year-old Matthew Devine said the shark struck his board from below without warning around 4pm. “I was just sitting out there and then bang, this shark came up from underneath and knocked me off my board into the water,” the father of two told the media. “As I’ve gone into the water, it’s banged into my side again and that’s when I first saw it on the right-hand side.” “I just thought, ‘*** this thing’s big,’ and I grabbed my board and my leg rope and hopped back on and put my feet up and just thought, ‘I’m a goner here,’ and started paddling into shore. “I was very happy when I made it to the beach. “I’m no expert and it happened really quick, but its nose was real round, so I’m thinking it was a bull shark.” The attack was recorded on the Surfline Cabarita Beach surf cam. The water at Cabarita Beach was evacuated on August 30 after a drone operator spotted several bull sharks. In August last year, another local, Brad Ross, had a miraculous escape when a 15 foot great white bit his board in half right behind where he sat, sending pieces flying into the air. In June 2025, a 16-year-old boy was mauled by a shark in the cove at Cabarita, and in 2020, a local foil-boarder was knocked from his board by a massive great white.

THE GIPSY KINGS are coming to Twin Towns on Saturday, October, 18. Yes you read that correctly, this is the actual Gipsy Kings, the global gypsy flamenco phenomenon. Founded in 1979 in Arles, France, the Gipsy Kings play a blend of Catalan rumba, flamenco, salsa, and pop. The music is exuberant, romantic and totally impossible to sit still through. Who could forget the wild, ecstatic chorus of Bamboléo? Although the family members were born in France, their parents were mostly Spanish gypsies who fled Spain during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. In a 2026 SPIN interview, founder Diego Baliardo recalled the days before the Gipsy Kings were famous, when the family travelled around southern France. “People knew that when we would grab our guitars, that meant we would start singing. And they’d all say, you’ve got to hear them,” he said.

Gipsy Kings are coming to Twin Towns and are celebrating 40 years of incredible music

“We play from a place of emotion, we don’t overthink it.” The article describes Diego and the others packing up their instruments and moving around Provence and the Côte d’Azur, serenading people at restaurants, weddings and beaches, before their international breakthrough. I lived in Aix-en-Provence in 1972, and remember gypsies coming into bars and playing guitar. The Weekly caught up with Lachlan Donaldson, entertainment operations manager, to find out how he manages to get such great acts as the Gipsy Kings, whose 2026 world tour is almost sold out. “As Twin Towns continues to invest in the improvement of the Showroom, its appeal to artists who may never previously have considered the venue has continued to grow,” Lachlan explained. “Combined with many years of building strong relationships with promoters based on trust and a shared desire to bring the best of Australian and international live entertainment to the people of the Tweed and surrounding regions, we were able to secure the Gipsy Kings for our 2026 program. “It is exactly this reputation for delivering exceptional live music experiences that I am committed continue building, ensuring Twin Towns remains a cultural icon for live music in Australia.” For more than four decades, the Gipsy Kings have been the undisputed masters of flamenco-pop, captivating audiences worldwide with their infectious rhythms, virtuoso guitar playing and unmistakable sound. Their thrilling music has made them one of the most successful world music acts of all time. Gipsy Kings play on Sunday, October 18, at 7:30pm Qld time, Twin Towns, 2 Wharf St, Tweed Heads.

MARINE RESCUE NSW volunteers have recorded their busiest August on record, capping an exceptionally busy winter as crews prepare for a surge in boating activity during the spring school holidays. There were 34 search and rescue missions completed in the Northern Rivers including 22 emergency responses with 51 people safely returned to shore across all seven Northern Rivers units – Point Danger, Brunswick, Cape Byron, Ballina, Evans Head, Iluka Yamba and Wooli. Point Danger was the location of highest demand with 14 missions completed by volunteers, which was down from 19 in July. Marine Rescue Ballina completed five missions, Evans Head and Cape Byron both recorded four search and rescue missions. “Old fuel, tired batteries and poorly maintained engines are common reasons boaters end up stranded or in trouble on the water,” Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Todd Andrews said. “A few simple checks before you leave can make the difference between a great day on the water and a call for help. “We want every boater to make safety a priority before they launch, check your vessel, equipment, the weather, always wear a lifejacket, and Log On with Marine Rescue NSW. “If the unexpected happens, Logging On gives rescuers a vital head start and, when it comes to emergencies, every second matters.” Commissioner Andrews said Marine Rescue wants “Logging On” to become second nature for every boater, a routine safety step that no one skips. “Don’t be the person who overlooks it and finds themselves in a life-threatening situation. Logging On ensures our dedicated radio operators keep watch for your safe return,” he said. “Logging On saves time, and time saves lives. “If the weather or conditions aren’t favourable, don’t put yourself, your family or other people

Lifejackets should always be worn over the top of the last layer of clothing Caption here

Marine Rescue Point Danger, Brunswick and Cape Byron worked together to assist a disabled vessel in mid-July

on the water at risk. “The best rescue is the one that never has to happen, and that starts with being prepared.” The record August surpassed the previous high of 267 missions recorded in August 2022. Following the second busiest July in Marine Rescue NSW history, winter was the Service’s second busiest on record, with crews completing 762 missions and safely returning 1,593 people to shore. During August, Marine Rescue NSW volunteer radio operators managed 19,731 radio calls, including four MAYDAYs and five PAN PANs, while keeping watch over 23,377 people aboard Logged On vessels.

Whales heading home By Jo Kennett

THE WHALES are heading home to Antarctica after travelling north to warmer waters to mate and calve, and boaters are reminded to keep a safe distance to not disturb their journey. The migration runs for thousands of kilometres along Australia’s east coast and the waters and headlands of the Tweed Coast have been providing some amazing sights for what is described as one of nature’s great spectacles. “Right now you’re at the front edge of the southbound run — the perfect time to see the whales as they travel south, close in as they pass the Tweed Coast,” Cooly Tweed Cruises crew member Aaron Ashley said. “It’s the ideal time for spotting mums and calves hugging the coastline near Tweed Heads over the next couple of months. “You must keep a safe distance of at least 100 metres from the side of a whale, and stay at least 300 metres away from them in front, or from behind and from mother-calf pairs.” Aaron is also the volunteer Unit Commander and skipper with Marine Rescue Point Danger but says aboard the whale-watching vessel George Bass he is the “apprentice”. “It’s been a tremendous opportunity and a hell of a lot of fun,” Aaron said. “Every trip out is so unique, and that’s one of the things I find so amazing about the job. “Every time we head out, we’re experiencing these incredible animals in their natural environment, and you never quite know what you’re going to see.” Aaron says humpback whales in the eastern Australian population migrate from the Southern Ocean/Antarctic waters, where

they spend summer feeding on krill. “From there they travel north from May to August up Australia’s east coast to the warmer sub-tropical waters of Queensland (Great Barrier Reef, Hervey Bay area) to mate and give birth,” he said. “Then they head back south from August to October/November to return to Antarctica to feed again. “It’s one of the longest mammal migrations on Earth — up to 10,000 km each way.” The migration runs from North Antarctica to NSW/Queensland, along a corridor nicknamed the “Humpback Highway,” which lies about four to five nautical miles (about seven to nine kilometres) from the coast. “On their South bound journey they tend to travel quite close to the coastline,” Aaron said. “Late August is right at the start of the southward push, which builds through September–November. “Tweed Heads sits on the NSW/

Queensland border, right in the middle of the migration corridor — a well-known land-based whale-watching spot for both legs of the journey. “What’s different on the way south is that the southbound journey brings females travelling with their newborn calves, moving slower and closer to shore than the northbound pods, so it’s often considered the better viewing season — you get mother-calf pairs plus escort males, more breaching/ tail-slapping as calves learn to move.” Aaron says the whale migration “gives you a real appreciation for our natural environment and just how incredible — and how precious — our marine life is.”

THE TWEED could soon become part of a growing push to keep old solar panels out of landfill, with Councillor Nola Firth recently calling for council to investigate a local collection, reuse and recycling program. Cr Firth successfully moved a notice of motion asking council to prepare a report on options for dealing with endof-life solar panels, including joining the Federal Government’s National Solar Panel Recycling Pilot and partnering with recycling and reuse businesses. More than 95 per cent of a solar panel can be recycled, with valuable materials including aluminium, glass, copper, silver and silicon able to be recovered and potentially used again. However, Cr Firth said large numbers of panels were still ending up in landfill as Australia’s rooftop solar boom begins to create a new waste challenge. “About one in three Australian households have rooftop panels and many are coming to the end of their life,” Cr Firth said in her background notes. Annual solar panel waste across Australia is predicted to rise from about 59,340 tonnes in 2025 to 91,165 tonnes by 2030. Cr Firth said the issue was particularly relevant for the Tweed given Council’s Towards Zero Waste Policy, limited landfill capacity and the recent refurbishment and expansion of its Resource Recovery Centre. Council staff have backed the investigation, noting resource recovery officers across the Northern Rivers are already exploring opportunities for a coordinated regional approach. “Officers support this notice of motion as it aligns with Council’s Towards Zero Waste Policy,” Council’s management comments state. Council said its existing Resource Recovery Centre infrastructure was suitable for temporarily storing and handling solar panels, although additional infrastructure and procedures could be required. The cost of establishing a service is not yet known and would depend on collection, transport, testing and recycling arrangements. However, Council said costs could potentially be offset through reduced landfill disposal, easing pressure on landfill capacity and recovering value from reusable materials.

Organ centenary continues to shine One of the state's most iconic pipe organs is continuing its centenary celebrations

00261 SolarChapel QP

By Jonathon Howard

THE GLORIOUS sounds of a century-old pipe organ will fill All Saints Anglican Church in Murwillumbah on Saturday, October 10, when acclaimed organist Robert Eather returns for a special afternoon concert. Built by Charles Leggo in Sydney in 1926, the historic instrument remains in excellent condition and continues to play an important role in the musical life of the church. There’s also an interesting story about how the pipe organ travelled to Murwillumbah. Mr Eather, organist and director of music at Christ Church Cathedral in Grafton, will be joined by accomplished vocalist Margaret Tarrant for a program combining organ classics with much-loved sacred works. Mr Eather has held his position at Grafton Cathedral since January 1999 and was awarded an Honorary Fellowship Diploma of the Guild of Church Musicians in recognition of his contribution to church music. All Saints musician and church member Barry Firth said the honour recognised an exceptional contribution to the field. “The HonFGCM is conferred on someone who has made an exceptional contribution to Church Music, going above and beyond the general expectations of a professional position,”

Barry said. Margaret is a graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, with a Bachelor of Music Education majoring in voice, and has extensive experience as a school music and voice teacher. She is also a long-standing member of the Grafton Cathedral Choir. Barry said Margaret would perform several favourite sacred works, including Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, Panis Angelicus and Pie Jesu from Gabriel Fauré’s famous Requiem. Robert will perform a selection of organ classics chosen to complement the vocal program. Adding another special dimension to the concert will be the All Saints pipe organ itself, which celebrates its centenary this year. “We at All Saints are very pleased to bring our music out to the community again,” Barry said. “Our organ is in great condition, and it fills the acoustic space at our church building perfectly and brilliantly.” When asked how the pipe organ came to Murwillumbah in 1926, Mr Firth said it: “Travel by river on a barge”. The concert will begin at 2.30pm on Saturday, October 10, at All Saints Anglican Church, Byangum Road, Murwillumbah. Admission is $20 or $15 concession, with cash and card accepted at the door. Tickets can also be booked online via: trybooking.com/DPWED

Power of Pink event By Jonathon Howard

00430 South Tweed Sports Club QP

THE MURWILLUMBAH Showgrounds will turn pink on the Saturday and Sunday, October 10 and 11, for the annual Power of Pink dressage and hack show event. Hosted by the Tweed Valley Equestrian Group (TVEG), the National Breast Cancer Foundation-endorsed charity event will bring competitors together to raise money for breast cancer research. TVEG president and event organiser Keighley Leeson said the event had raised more than $215,000 for breast cancer research over the past 15 years, with all money raised donated directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. “At Tweed Valley Equestrian Group we were inspired by our own experiences to help fund research for breast cancer,” Keighley said. “We felt an equestrian-based charity event would be the perfect partner to help raise money.” The event puts a colourful twist on traditional equestrian competition, with the Australian Dressage Council approving an official dress code exemption allowing competitors to ride in pink — and even dress their horses in pink.

Along with dressage and show jumping competition, some of the most hotly contested honours are expected to be the fun awards for Pinkest Horse, Pinkest Rider and Pretty in Pink. The Power of Pink has become a major fixture on the local equestrian calendar and was named Tweed Shire Council’s Community Event of the Year in both 2011 and 2020. It has also received multiple nominations for Equestrian Queensland Event of the Year and the Wonders of Women Awards. Last year’s event expanded to two days and included the Power of Pink fundraising auction, helping organisers raise about $15,000. Keighley said equestrian sport had a strong representation of female competitors, making breast cancer research a cause particularly close to the group’s heart. Organisers are again seeking sponsors and supporters to provide prizes for competition classes, donations and items for the popular fundraising auction. “All funds raised including riding class entry fees, sponsorship, raffles and donations are donated directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation,” Keighley said. The Power of Pink will be held at Murwillumbah Showgrounds on October 10 and 11.

Help school thrive Alexa told The Weekly. That work will transform the school grounds into a small carnival, with laser tag, a giant jumping castle, bubble soccer and a Wildlife Rangers show featuring snakes, spiders, lizards and a baby crocodile. There will also be a scary maze, doughnut-eating competition and a tennis court transformed into a food court serving barbecue favourites, hot dogs, slushies, cakes and carnival treats. Alexa said help does not have to come from a school parent. Local businesses can donate prizes or sponsor the event, while residents can volunteer their time, share a skill or simply attend. The invitation is bigger than one fair. When any of our small public schools open their gates, it is worth crossing town for. Turn up, buy dinner, play the games and try your luck. Supporting another community’s children strengthens the whole Tweed. Uki Public School Family Fun Fair starts at 3pm to 7pm on Friday, October 23 at 1463 Kyogle Road, Uki. Gold coin entry.

MANY OPPORTUNITIES that give children a full education depend on volunteers finding the money to make them possible. Across a shire of more than 100,000 residents, the Tweed is home to 23 small public schools. Uki Public School is one example, but its Family Fun Fair is part of a much bigger story about what happens when school budgets stop short. Uki’s P&C has previously contributed $25,000 towards a new playground the school otherwise could not afford. Its fundraising has also helped cover transport so every child can join learnto-swim sessions, along with pottery, student wellbeing programs, online learning tools and recorders for Year 2 students. These are easily dismissed as “extras”. For a child whose family cannot absorb another fee, the distinction is academic: they either take part or sit out. Volunteer P&C president Alexa Mortimer said the fair takes months of planning, with parents, teachers and community members handling everything from booking attractions to wrapping prizes and checking safety requirements. “By the last month, it’s all hands on deck,”

Dance Spectacular! ONE OF Tyalgum’s longest-running annual events will celebrate a major milestone this November when the Tyalgum Dance Spectacular returns for its 15th year. First staged in 2011 with just two dance couples and a singer, the event has grown into an annual showcase featuring some of Australia’s finest Ballroom, Latin and New Vogue dancers alongside guest vocal performers. Presented by local not-for-profit Hearts Aflame Productions, the Spectacular has remained independently produced throughout its history. Founder and producer Solar Chapel said he never imagined the event would still be going strong 15 years later. “When we started in 2011 it was quite a simple little show, and I certainly wasn’t thinking about where it might be 15 years later,” he said. “It has grown enormously over the years, but

the heart of it has really remained the same — bringing exceptional dancers and performers to Tyalgum and giving audiences the opportunity to experience them right here in the village.” The 15th Tyalgum Dance Spectacular will be held on Saturday, November 14, with preparations underway for the milestone production.

I Dig It Marks Six Years AFTER SIX years digging, shaping and transforming properties across the Tweed Shire, I Dig It Excavations owner Josh Cole is loving helping his clients to make better use of their land. From large rural properties with spectacular views to smaller blocks and secluded rainforest settings, Josh has worked on a diverse range of projects, bringing not only excavation skills but years of landscaping experience to every job. For Josh, the work is about more than simply operating machinery. “I love working closely with our clients to understand what they want to achieve and I often find ways to add value along the way,” he said. Projects have included creating tracks through rainforest to hidden swimming holes, levelling or building up land to create more usable areas, major weed clean-ups and preparing blank canvases for new landscaping. I Dig It has also expanded its services to include site preparation for concrete and turf, tank pads and tiny home pads, along with driveway construction and maintenance. Josh has recently upgraded to a Kubota 5-tonne excavator featuring a tilt hitch and grading blade, making it particularly useful for creating and tidying driveways and leaving sites with a clean finish. A range of buckets and an auger remain part of the equipment line-up, while the addition of a log grab has made handling green waste faster and more efficient.

I DIG IT EXCAVATIONS 0497 264 894

Importantly, Josh continues to personally quote jobs and keep customers informed if schedules change because of wet weather or when a seemingly small project develops into something bigger. That approach has earned I Dig It plenty of positive feedback: “Josh from I Dig It Excavations was incredibly professional from start to finish,” customer Jeremy Godden said. “His attention to detail, expert advice, and commitment to quality really stood out. Courteous, reliable, and great to work with.” Customer Michael Bell also praised Josh’s flexibility and ideas. “Josh was so professional and accommodating to deal with, he shuffled his schedule to make it work and had some great ideas to do on the project,” he said.

Search for family of Murwillumbah WWII veteran A PAIR of World War II service medals belonging to a Murwillumbah-born Royal Australian Air Force veteran, and which have narrowly avoided being thrown away, have sparked a search to reunite them with his family. The medals belonged to Allan James Forbes, who was born in Murwillumbah on September 18, 1924, and enlisted for service during the World War II. His service record shows Mr Forbes joined the Royal Australian Air Force on January 1, 1943, enlisting in Sydney with “Murwillumbah” listed as his locality on enlistment. He served until January 3, 1946, reaching the rank of Leading Aircraftman and was posted to No. 13 Aircraft Repair Depot at the time of his discharge. Now, 80 years later and following an unlikely chain of events, his medals are in the hands of Renmark RSL Sub-branch military advocate Peter Amos in South Australia, who is hoping Tweed residents can help find Mr Forbes’ surviving family.

Peter said Mr Forbes apparently moved to Young, NSW, where he became friends with Leon Prizibillan. Before Mr Forbes died, Peter understands he gave his medals to Leon, who has also since passed away. The medals almost disappeared for good when Leon’s daughter, Theresa Kuhfuss, travelled from her home in Renmark, South Australia, to collect Leon’s belongings about two to three weeks ago. Peter said another person was disposing of belongings when Theresa spotted the medals in a rubbish bin and rescued them. “The daughter found these medals in the bin and brought them home,” Peter said. Theresa subsequently handed the medals to Peter in the hope he could trace Mr Forbes’ descendants and return the important pieces of family and Australian military history. The two medals pictured are the War Medal 1939–1945 and Australia Service Medal 1939–

1945, both issued for Mr Forbes’ World War II service. The War Medal was awarded for qualifying fulltime service during the war, while the Australia Service Medal recognised qualifying service by members of Australia’s armed forces and Merchant Navy. Peter’s search has so far uncovered information suggesting Mr Forbes had a daughter named Sandra and a son named John, possibly with connections to Young, but the trail has largely stopped there. With Mr Forbes born and living in Murwillumbah when he enlisted, Peter is hoping someone in the Tweed may recognise the family name or know of surviving relatives. Anyone who can help Peter identify Allan James Forbes’ family or descendants can contact The Weekly editor via email: editor@theweekly.net.au or phone (02) 6672 4443. Lest We Forget.

When I’m gone, release me, let me go: I have so many things to see and do. Don’t tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you love. You can only guess how much You gave me in happiness. I thank you for your love you each have shown. But it is time I travel alone. So grieve awhile for me, grieve you must: Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It’s only for a little while we must part.

So bless the memories within your heart. I won’t be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I’ll come. Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near. If you listen with your heart, you’ll hear All my love around you soft and clear. And then when you must come this way alone, I will greet you with a smile and a “Welcome Home”

Flying challenge By Philip Arthur

PERFECT FLYING conditions greeted pilots at Murwillumbah Aero Club on Sunday, September 27, as two clubs went head-to-head in the annual interclub flying challenge. Blue skies and calm conditions set the scene as five pilots each from Murwillumbah Aero Club (MAC) and Airways Aviation battled for individual trophies and the coveted team shield. Following a hearty breakfast, competitors attended a flight briefing with instructor Jason Prigoone before completing a 10-minute written aviation quiz. Each pilot then took to the air accompanied by an instructor acting as a safety pilot, completing three circuits designed to test their landing skills. The first involved a normal landing, followed by a flapless landing and finally a glide approach with the engine idling. The challenge was to touch down as close as possible to a nominated point on the runway, testing an important skill for pilots who may need to land within limited space on short country airstrips. Competitors could earn between zero and 25 points for each landing depending on their ac-

curacy, as well as up to 10 points for airmanship and another 10 for the written quiz. Brenton Smith was first into the air in an amphibious aircraft, followed by Airways Aviation’s Dominic McCarthy in a Cessna 172 and MAC’s Bill Dennis, with judges from both clubs stationed beside the runway to score each landing. After plenty of friendly rivalry, tactical discussion and aviation banter, the scores were tallied for the afternoon awards ceremony. MAC’s Neville Newell claimed individual honours with an impressive 115 points, including two perfect landings. Airways Aviation instructor Jason Prigoone finished second with 100 points after scoring on all three landings, while fellow Airways pilot Jason Ross took third place with 90 points. Airways Aviation ultimately secured the team shield, with Prigoone accepting it on behalf of the winning team. Organisers said the annual challenge provided plenty of friendly competition while giving pilots an opportunity to practise and improve important flying skills. The club thanked everyone who helped organise the event, particularly Marty, Bruce and Bill.

TWEED SURF lifesavers raised the flags for the 2026/27 patrol season on a sunny Saturday, September 26, with hundreds of volunteers on the beach to mark the occasion and keep beachgoers safe. They were among more than 22,000 volunteers across Australia marking the beginning of the patrol season by raising the red and yellow flags back and will be patrolling on weekends until April 27. The Australian Lifeguard Service (ALS) also commenced patrols on Monday and will be on duty at Tweed Shire beaches on weekdays during the school holidays. Beachgoers are reminded to always follow the advice of lifeguards and lifesavers, know their limits in the water and, most importantly, always swim between the red and yellow flags. Susie Carpenter was one of the volunteers on patrol at Salt Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) for the opening of the season. “I was on the very first patrol for the season so we put the flags up,” Susie said. “We had a very successful day with around 80 to 100 people on the beach. “We had lots of families visiting for the school holidays, including nine families from Brisbane with 28 kids on the beach, so we were very diligent and had no dramas whatsoever and beautiful weather.” Junior Activities Coordinator Dean Clifton said the Nippers program commences on October 17. “We are unusual in the fact we are a Saturday afternoon program,” Dean said. “The parents love that and the kids love that as well because not every kid likes to wake up early in the morning. “We are a social club. We do have some kids that do carnivals and are competitive, but for

Continued from page 3. “Our focus is certainly on sustainable growth and attracting the right visitors who value that slow, authentic and meaningful travel experience.” Tweed Tourism Co Manager of Destination Communication and Customer Experience, Tiffany Stoddart, said the answer to avoiding a “Byron effect” was not simply trying to stop people coming, but carefully managing the type of tourism and events the Tweed encourages. “Our goal is not about more visitors, and we’ve never been driven by that,” Ms Stoddart said. Instead, the strategy focuses on “yield over volume”, encouraging visitors to stay longer and spend more rather than continually chasing greater numbers. Ms Stoddart said Council’s adopted Destination Management Plan and event strategy provided a roadmap for maintaining the Tweed’s character, with sustainability central to decisions about tourism products and events. That means playing to the Tweed’s existing strengths, including the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, surfing, nature-based experiences, food, arts and culture. “We kind of know what we don’t want by defining really well what we do want,” she said. Large-scale events that could fundamentally alter the destination’s character are not the priority. “We wouldn’t be a kind of Splendour in the Grass major doof-doof festival,” Ms Stoddart said. “But we might be a great low-key small event group of busking and performance art in lots

of different places. “So, I guess it’s just staying uniquely what we feel the Tweed is and what our community tells us it is.” The approach comes as Tweed Tourism Company transitions from an externally operated tourism service to an in-house Council model. Ms Stoddart said Council had maintained the same tourism budget rather than using the transition as a cost-cutting exercise, with the investment now directed entirely into tourism services. She said actively managing the destination was important because visitors would continue discovering the Tweed regardless of whether it was marketed. “Whether we did the marketing attraction or not, Tweed’s already got a reputation, so it’s our choice to manage that well rather than take an unmanaged approach,” she said. Mr Farlow said bringing tourism in-house should also provide closer alignment between destination planning and Council’s broader responsibilities. The team has eight people across seven roles and is also transitioning around 40 to 50 tourism volunteers into the Council system. Mr Farlow said those volunteers remained an important part of the visitor experience. “They’re a really passionate bunch, and they deliver fantastic experiences on the ground for our visitors who are coming to the area,” he said.

2026/2027 SEASON

‘Yield over volume’ By Jonathon Howard

the most part it’s all about water safety and the kids being down on the beach with their friends, having fun and learning how to be beach safe at the same time.” Jodie Payne is the captain of the Beach Bums patrol group at Salt and has been patrol captain for 10 years and with the club for 17 years. “I’m on the committee and I’m the chief training officer for the club,” Jodie said. “I do it because I love it and for the friendships; the camaraderie between each patrol team is really good. “I ran our annual proficiencies this weekend and I’m running a Bronze Medallion course. “We will be running more through the season and it’s a great way to get involved in the club. “You can do a Bronze Medallion, First Aid, Advanced Resuscitation or you can just do radios or even cooking the barbecue if you aren’t confident in the water. “We always find a job for everybody.” To find your nearest patrolled beach, visit Beachsafe or the ALS website.

What is your favourite part about being an agent?

Helping people through the process, whether they are selling or buying. Making it as stress free as possible.

Before you were a real estate agent what was the most interesting or unusual job you had?

I worked in the publishing industry – which is also a peopleoriented business. Selling the new books that were being released to

bookshop owners and company head office buyers like Myer and Target. Meeting famous authors and taking them to their radio or TV interviews in Melbourne. Also, promoting author signings in bookstores for the authors with their new books, for example famous sports people.

What makes a great real estate agent?

Being a great communicator and reliable. Persistence always pays off, your agent replies to you as the seller and your buyers promptly. Always using a professional photographer.

Are there any changes in the supply/demand equation in property in the Tweed Shire?

There is a high demand for houses in Noble Lakeside Village, with Retirees and downsizers wanting to free up their equity from selling their houses. And the fabulous lifestyle on offer in Village living. Plus everyone loves Kingscliff - close to beach, shops and hospital.

are spacious and freestanding. They are coming from everywhere, mainly on the east coast of NSW and Queensland.

What’s something people can do without spending a fortune to make their property more saleable? Also, what is the best investment you could put into a property you want to sell.

First impressions count. Street appeal – keeping the gardens and lawns neat and tidy – is key. If repainting, stick to white or neutral tones in the interior. Also, declutter – pack up things you don’t need because presentation is everything no matter what the price range is. You want your buyers to feel the home is inviting and easy to live in.

Any tips on beating the competition for a home you want?
