The state government has jettisoned Byron Shire Council’s events policy, effectively ending a protracted stoush between event promoters and festival supporters on the one hand and council

and resident groups on the other.The policy intended to limit

major music events with more than 6,000 attendees in the shire to two per year: Splendour and Bluesfest.

Hoops of fun at NAIDOC

Byron events policy rejected by the state

Around three hundred people marched for NAIDOC week (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) last Thursday in Byron Bay.

It was a wonderful day of celebration, education and entertainment held next to the Peace Pole on Main Beach.

This year is also the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal tent embassy and 20 years of upholding of the Mabo decision. A sand mandala celebrating Aboriginal and Islander Culture and the embassy was placed lovingly by many hands on the lawn beside the beach and the boys from the National Parks cooked up a ripper free BBQ.

Story & Photo Eve Jeffery

Three years ago Louise Owen was given the ultimate gift when she was the recipient of a donor heart. After the transplant Louise’s surgeon said ‘Your heart is fabulous’.

‘It’s all about the donation and the donor having that sense of mind to want to be a

donor and not knowing

when your time is up, but you have decided to be a donor. That’s a big thing. You don’t know who is going to receive your heart. It’s an absolutely open gift.

‘I don’t have any prejudices for anyone. If you’re an organ donor you’re on my list no matter what. I don’t care.’

Lennox chamber pres back on deckAfter a recent car crash, Louise Owen rebounds with the same dedication to protecting the town

Another building firm goes bustLocal tradesmen – many of whom are still reeling from the collapse of GJ Gardiner Ballina – have been hit again with another building company going into administration.

Baseline Constructions, which has been responsible for the renovation of the Ballina Central Shopping Centre, went into receivership last week and a meeting of creditors…

Chief bureaucrat to address Mullum hospital meetingA public meeting has been called to allow the region’s top health bureaucrat to explain his proposal to replace night-shift doctors at Mullumbimby hospital emergency department (ED) with video-linking technology.

Chris Crawford, the chief executive of the Northern NSW Local Health District, will be available to answer questions, and the meeting will be held at the Mullumbimby High School hall on August 2 from 7pm.

Frank Lynch from the Save Mullum Hospital Steering Committee told The Echo, ‘As this is the first community meeting attended by a representative of the Local Health District administration, it is an important meeting for residents and all are urged to attend and to have their concerns heard.’

Mr Lynch says the committee is collecting and collating personal experiences about Mullum hospital’s…

Jasper’s long journey to reach potential

Committee to be formed for Ewingsdale facility

Photo & story Eve Jeffery

Most mothers hope that their children will finish high school, or reach their athletic potential or even become the prime minister of Australia.

Nadine Schafer hopes that one day her son Jasper will be able to run into her arms and call her mum.

Now just 17 months old, Jasper was born with brain damage caused by the death of his twin brother Julian in utero.

A community advisory committee will be established by Byron Council to provide input on the Ewingsdale multipurpose facility.

A media spokesperson for Council said of the resolution: ‘The group will include three community representatives: one from the Byron Catchment Community, Sporting and Recreation Working Group, and two from the wider Byron Shire community.

‘Council will write to the Working Group seeking a nomination, while advertising for the two other places. The committee’s role will be to provide input to centre management. But ultimately, the centre will be run by the party appointed to do that job by council.’

Rock spiders in gilded palaces

Big picture lost in carbon hysteriaMungo MacCallum

So that was week one of the carbon price, and a pretty grim week it was.

Another Australian soldier killed in Afghanistan, more bombings in Iraq, more carnage in Syria, floods in Russia, a purge at Barclay’s following the interest-fixing scam, Glaxo Smith Kline fined $3 billion and, back home, the state of origin tragedy.

But the only real disaster Tony Abbott could pin on Julia Gillard’s grey pig newt axe, as he calls it, was Craig Emerson’s karaoke performance at Whyalla, and even that had its bright side: if the long-suffering city can survive that, it can survive anything.

So in general the week lived up to all the more rational predictions: nothing much changed, just as Gillard insisted would be the case. And paradoxically,

David Lovejoy

Rupert Murdoch, to judge by his Twitter posts, does not like Scientology. Some media commentators have deduced from this that News Ltd is about to embark on one of its boots’n’all campaigns against the cult. Although the Scientology organisation bristles with lawyers, it is a relatively soft target, managing to be both ludicrous and sinister in equal measures.

Dylan O’Donnell

We live in a modern society where I can admit that, like the president of the United States of America, I have tried and enjoyed marijuana at some point in my life. I can admit it without it affecting my reputation to any great extent because at least 30 per cent of Australians can say the same thing, according to study published by the federal health department. Perhaps I’ll regret that later in life when I run for office, but if a female atheist can be prime minister, surely I haven’t completely ruled myself out.

Recently mainstream Australian media have been reporting about the ‘dark web’.

Is it easier to buy drugs in Nimbin or online?

While David Lovejoy’s latest book, Heresy, is fiction, it is based in a pivotal moment in Christian history when the influence of Augustine of Hippo usurped a more compassionate approach to morality by his contemporary, the British scholar Pelagius. It is Saint Augustine’s doctrine

of Original Sin – not to mention the notion of a ‘just war’ – which is entrenched in the Church rather than Pelagius’s belief in free will and the power to choose either good or evil. Sadly for a more ‘free-spirited’…

Roller Derby embraces women of all sizes. According to Bay Rollers’ Emma Hand, or, as she’s known on the track, Crystal Beth, ‘everything about roller derby functions with a DIY philosophy. All the leagues are run by the players and enthusiastic members who, although they may not skate, share the passion for roller derby with the skaters.

‘The Bay Rollers are made up of an eclectic bunch of women (as well as our very own ref, Certified Male). On board we have school teachers, nurses,

local business owners, a youth worker, actress, fitness instructor, mums, and a mother/daughter duo.’

So how does a nice girl suddenly morph into a skate demon?

‘I went and watched one of the Bay Rollers’ games. I was never going to do it. I thought it was ridiculous, and I watched one game and just had to do it! I went online and bought a whole heap of gear…’

Roller Derby is taking the world by storm. And why wouldn’t it? Women in skates and hot-pants body-slamming each other with moves like ‘the booty block’ to gain advantage. It’s aggressive, it’s assertive, it’s competitive and it’s super sexy.

I’ve never really got the dancing thing. I’ve never felt comfortable dancing. Especially in public. Dancing has always felt less like a voluntary ‘fun’ activity and more like a cry for help. If you’ve seen me dance you would understand. I have witnessed people dancing for hours, lathered in sweat, with silly dance trance smiles on their faces. I wonder what substance they must have imbibed to reach such a state.

As far as I’m concerned, dancing for fun is about the same league as jogging for pleasure. Only weirdos, druggies and people with eating disorders really get into it. Oh and hippies who need to self express every few…

So you don’t think you can dance?

Tex gets the CashThere are not many people who could step into the shoes of Johnny Cash. For a start he’s got to look good in black. He’s got to have a history. He’s got to have a dark side. He’s got to have a distinctive voice. And he’s got to be so cool he scares the living crappers out of nerds…

Hans Lovejoy

� e state government has jettisoned Byron Shire Council’s events policy, e� ectively ending a protracted stoush between event promoters and festival supporters on the one hand and coun-cil and resident groups on the other.� e policy intended to limit major music events with more than 6,000 attendees in the shire to two per year: Splendour and Bluesfest.� e council attempted to amend its Local Environment Plan to include the policy, a move that required state government approval.

� e letter that sealed the policy’s fate came from the NSW planning and in-frastructure department, dated July 1, and says that under the Environmental and assessment act 1979 (s59(2)(b) the proposed ‘major events clause’ should not proceed. ‘I have formed the opinion that the proposal is not in the public interest,’ said director general Sam Haddad.‘I believe matters of concern to the council can adequately be assessed through the normal development ap-plication process.’

Earlier this year the NSW Planning Assessment Commission (PAC), ap-pointed by the state government, ap-proved a trial for three annual events at North Parklands festival site in Yelgun including Splendour In � e Grass. � at decision essentially gave the shire two di� erent policies for the two major festivals to operate under.Bluesfest director Peter Noble, while celebrating the overruling of the policy, was critical of what he called council’s lack of due process. He said his solicitors ‘continuously questioned Byron Council as to why they have not obtained their own legal advice regard-ing the illegality of this policy over the past four years, and why the majority

of elected councillors have not voted for this to be done.’Council’s spokesperson, however, told The Echo that legal advice was received, ‘but it’s a matter for them should they wish to waive the privilege that rightly attaches to that advice.’Other points of contention for Mr Noble included numerous submis-sions opposing the policy, which he says were ignored.

‘Over four years, and the three times the policy was placed on public display asking for submissions, the vast major-ity objected to the policy, including more than 13,500 signed objections to the policy all up!’ He said in a media release ‘� e By-ron Events Policy, as it existed, which had no equal in Australia in terms of its restrictions, will now soon be his-tory and the arts – and music-loving community of Byron is rejoicing.’

Council defendsByron Council defended what it saw as a need to ensure sustained pro-tection of the environment, resident amenity and the continued success of the tourism industry.

Council’s acting executive manager of environment and planning Sharyn French said the ‘overall importance of these issues remain despite the plan-ning department’s decision.’ ‘Byron Shire is a small, regional community that hosts 50 visitors for every resident annually. With about 1.5 million visitors a year, Council thinks it is appropriate that there is a frame-work in place for helping it, on behalf of the community, to decide what is sustainable in terms of environmental protection, resident and visitor well-being, as well as what the quality and quantity of tourism should be.‘Without a proper process in place

Around three hundred people marched for NAIDOC week (Na-tional Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) last � urs-day in Byron Bay.It was a wonderful day of celebration, education and entertainment held next

to the Peace Pole on Main Beach. � is year is also the 40th anniver-sary of the Aboriginal tent embassy and 20 years of upholding of the Mabo decision. A sand mandala celebrating Aboriginal and Islander Culture and the embassy was placed lovingly by

many hands on the lawn beside the beach and the boys from the National Parks cooked up a ripper free BBQ.
