Potholes

Q Why do you keep patching potholes – why don’t you rebuild the roads? A. Whilst we would love to rebuild all the damaged roads in the Byron Shire, we don’t have the money. It’s as simple as that! The poor condition of our roads is partly because elected Councils over many years did not see funding for roads as a priority so there was not enough spent on road maintenance. In 2016, when the current Council was elected, Councillors decided to change that and each year since the budget for road maintenance has been increased. This financial year $41.3 million will be spent on roadworks and construction. It’s the biggest expenditure area in the budget and the biggest capital road works budget this Council has ever had. The special rate variation (SRV) raised an extra $1.18 million in 2017/18 Construction on the new Byron Bay and that will grow to $2.27 million this Bypass will begin this year, thanks financial year. This extra money is being spent to a $9.5 million funding investment on renewing and improving our from the NSW Government. roads, bridges and other community infrastructure. Examples of how this The new bypass will provide an alternative route for people extra money has been used include travelling through Byron Bay, easing traffic congestion and rebuilding The Terrace at Brunswick pressure on Jonson and Fletcher Streets.

These works Jonson St. would not have occurred without the money raised from the SRV.

You can find a guide to depreciating assets 2018 form the Australian Taxation Off ice website (www.ato.gov.au/Forms/Guide-to-depreci- ating-assets-2018/ ). If you’re confused, seek advice from your accountant. If it’s a new property investment, you may need to have a quantity surveyor prepare a depreciation schedule report. Understand what you can claim (once again refer to the ATO website for clarification). Get your documents together and organise your receipts. Tally up your deductions. It’s a good idea to create a spreadsheet with all your income and expenses listed. That way, you can save on accounting fees (rather than giving them a shoebox of receipts to go through). Book in with your accountant (they are flat out at tax time, so the sooner the better).

The beach has many users: commercial and non-commercial – like beach weddings, horse riding, dog walking, surfi ng, fi shing, boot camp… it’s clear that we must share this incredible resource. And hey, there is enough to go around. In Queensland there are no clothing-optional beaches. In NSW on a coastline that extends for 2,137km there are only 2.4km designated clothing-optional beaches. There are 79,000 skinnydipping / naturist beach users in NSW – so on that allocation that gives about 3cm of space per person! The argument against our CO beach has been around safety for women. If we were to look at targeting sexual- assault hotspots in our region, we’d have to stop selling alcohol and close down Byron’s main streets. People are responsible for their behaviour. You can’t limit the freedoms of everyone else to ‘control’ a minority of sick people. I am proud that I live in one of the few progressive communities in NSW that has a clothing-optional beach. If Byron Shire ever loses that, if we become another conservative town, then who are we? You may as well pave paradise and whack in a McDonald’s.
