The NSW Labor government has released a 10-year plan to reform and rebuild the public, community and affordable housing system by delivering more homes, improving quality and maintenance, and creating a fairer system for tenants.

Police say information from the public led them to two arrests in Murwillumbah last week.

On Monday at 4pm there will be a briefing from Ballina Council staff to councillors about proposed Conservation Zones for Ballina Shire. The briefing is also open to the public, but there will be no opportunities for two way debate with councillors, as this is an educational opportunity about what is on the table and potential routes forward.

On Friday night, the Star Court Theatre in Lismore was the location for a much needed public conversation about what's happened since the 2022 floods, and how the recovery process could be better managed into the future.

Rejoice, fair burghers of the Shire, for a teensy weensy bit more accountability has shot forth from the top end of Mullumbimby…

After what seems like an endless, acrimonious debate, Ballina Shire Council resolved at its last meeting to save and restore the 70 year old Lennox beach shed/pavilion/eyesore/beloved relic.

Lismore City Council is seeking community feedback on two draft plans intended to guide the location and type of housing to support recovery in coming decades.
