Fish drying up in Australia
Reporter: Michael Troy
MICHAEL TROY: Every year around June, fishing crews all along the East Coast gather on the beaches searching for signs of the mullet run.
BRIAN CAMPBELL, COMMERCIAL FISH SPOTTER: The mullet leave the river in the winter seasons usually here around May to the end of June. They come out to spawn.
MICHAEL TROY: The mullet, heavy with roe, are worth about $6 $8 a kilogram. This year, however, the commercial fishermen are facing a harsh reality.
MICHAEL TROY: How’s it been so far this year?
BRIAN CAMPBELL: Awful, worst year we’ve ever had. Only because of the closures that were put on after the flood in the Richmond River and we weren’t allowed into those areas where we traditionally catch our fish. So it’s the worst year I’ve ever been in 30 years.
Lion announced late last week that it would be making its first investment in recent craft beer acquisition, Byron Bay Brewing Co.
The investment takes the form of a refurbishment of the existing venue, bringing the beer and the brewery to the “forefront” of its offering.
Lion believes that the refurbished venue will off a new experience for visitors as well as showcasing a new menu that will focus on local produce, and getting visitors up close to the brewing experience.
There was one moment at last Thursday’s Council meeting when you could hear a pin drop.
It was just after Cr Sol Ibrahim blurted out that everyone should be worried about the legal advice regarding the Coastal Zone Management Plan Byron Bay Embayment (CZMP BBE).
Everyone in the room started listening very closely, because well, there has been no legal advice tabled. So what does Cr Ibrahim know that everyone else doesn’t?
The contentious Byron Bay Bypass DA is now scheduled to be determined by Planning NSW’s Joint Regional Planning Panel.
A public meeting will be Wednesday, June 22, 5:30pm at the Mullumbimby Council Chambers. We urge all community members who have been following the progress of this essential public works for Byron Bay township to attend.
This meeting is our final resort short of legal recourse to insist on proper attention to due process including fair and reasonable assessment of the rail corridor alternative route in the face of dogged determination by our council to avoid this truth.
The Byron Bay Beach Hotel is for sale with market expectations of between $75 million and $80 million. Melbourne businessman Max Twigg bought the hotel in mid-2007 from its developer, John Cornell, who co-wrote (with Paul Hogan) and produced the global box office hit, Crocodile Dundee, in 1986. Cornell bought the pub from legendary local publicans Ron and Shirley Redman. Ron was often heard to say, “This is my circus and I’m the ringmaster. If you want to run this circus your way, slot me $1.5 mil and you can be the ringmaster.”
