The fact that ‘substantial change’ is not more clearly defi ned is one of the many wonders of NSW planning law. Applicants have their own opinions, as do various residents, councillors, planners, lawyers and in some cases the Land and Environment Court.

1. If The Chaser’s War on Everything (ABC, Wednesday, 9pm) is feeling a little formulaic, stay up a bit later and catch Shaun Micallef’s Newstopia (SBS, Wednesday, 10pm) which is way out of the ordinary. Micallef is an original comedian who thrives on surreal touches; the fi rst show was very promising but a studio audience in tune with his persona might improve it. 2. Ken Stott has taken over from John Hannah in the role of the seedy Edinburgh detective Rebus (ABC, Friday, 8.30pm). A good bit of casting, but can the complexity of Ian Rankin’s superb novels be compressed into 70 minutes of television? Probably well worth fi nding out. 3. Muscly actors in skimpy costumes used to be an Italian speciality. Troy (NBN, Friday, 9pm) is pure Hollywood. One of the screenwriters was Homer, much money was spent on sets, actors and an army of assistant directors co- ordinating fi ght scenes, but it all fails to come together.

Brunswick Heads to Yelgun Pacifi c Highway upgrade completed Don Page, Federal Minister for Roads Jim Lloyd & Ian Causley MP with RTA offi cial The recent opening of the 8.6km stretch of the Pacifi c Highway upgrade between Brunswick Heads and Yelgun completes the divided highway between the Byron Bay turnoff at Ewingsdale and Brisbane. The Federal and State Governments have committed $1.3billion to upgrading the Pacifi c Highway from 2006 to 2009. So far the upgrades have achieved a one hour decrease in travelling time between Sydney and Brisbane. For north coast residents the trip to Brisbane will become even quicker when the Tugun bypass is complete.

The Byron Bay community has lost one of its most popular and hardest working sons with the passing of Tony Naracott recently. Tony was tireless in his efforts to help the local business community and local charities. He was very active in the push for the Byron Bay Bypass, a project that I am also very keen to get underway. Tony’s charitable efforts included setting up the Tony Narracott Memorial Subfund, which he started when he found out that he had inoperable cancer. Tony will be missed and fondly remembered by the enormous number of people whose lives he touched. Tony always had a very positive approach to life, even when he knew he had terminal cancer.
