Looking to the future of Mullumbimby around 60 people gathered at the Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club on Tuesday evening to share their ideas as part of the Mullum Big Picture Show.

Organisers of the Chinny Charge were working on the route up Mt Chincogan last weekend, in preparation for this year’s run and walk. 

It all began with an Ugly Man competition! That’s right, in 1950, the Ugly Man Competition raised $1,221 towards the building of ‘proper learn-to-swim facilities’ in Mullumbimby. 

The 2023 Chinny Charge, a fun run up Mount Chincogan just north of Mullumbimby, is open for registration for both runners and walkers.

The Mullumbimby community is invited to a community picnic on Saturday May 6, between 4 and 8pm. 

With no consultation with either the Mullum Chamber of Commerce, the town’s residents association or the community at large, Byron Council and the NSW Liberal-Nationals have announced a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to develop the town’s disused railway land.

Jenelle Stanford passed on the baton of President of the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce to Paul Prior, from First National Real Estate, at last Tuesday’s AGM.

Businesses and locals have been raising their concerns over the increase in abusive and aggressive behaviour and break-ins in Mullumbimby. 

Spaces are filling quickly for the Chinny Charge that will be running for the first time since  the COVID pandemic started.

After an uphill battle against COVID the Chinny Charge is going to run again on Saturday, September 17 at 2pm.
