Keep your pets safe on Halloween while still including them in the fun! Just keep an eye out for these things:

Mullumbimby Residents Association is urging residents to have their say on Byron Shire Council’s proposed 35.03 per cent rate rise before consultation closes tomorrow (Friday, October 30), saying important evidence supporting the increase remains unavailable.

Heads Up Community.

The council is coming to SGB Hall tomorrow between 5 - 7pm to gather information re Overland Flooding.
We went to the one at Ocean Shores and it was really interesting. They want your help...... but in saying that you will need to go and look at the report that has been put together.
It is about how the rainfall from the streets moves about and starts flooding different areas before the sea and Marshall's Creek have a chance to add to the situation.
It is major that you get to this info evening fill them in on what you see.
There will be links in this for us to possibly get the LEP and the DCP changed so that NO FILL ON A FLOODPLAIN. and all new houses built on stilts or piers so that water wont be moving into homes or already built.
Every time council makes you put in an ash-felt drive way or you put in a pool or just a little bit of soil in the garden that is like a brick in a bucket of water. Our area can be safe but it is up to usd to keep it that way.
Please we need your assistance to at least get along and show what this community is capable of and thats explaining to the Engineer that when acumlative situations happen here that we are all working together to help lower the levels.

As we begin to hang bats and other ghastly ghouls, here’s a gentle reminder to think twice about one particular decoration... the fake spiderweb 🕷️🕸️

While it may look spooky, it can pose a real danger to our wildlife. Birds, possums, and insects can easily become entangled, causing serious harm. By opting for decorations that consider our local animals, we can help keep them safe.

It's also a good time to think about our pets at home 🐶🐱
For them, Halloween isn't always a treat. Those unfamiliar people in creepy costumes and the constant sound of the doorbell can be genuinely frightening for our furry friends.

Let's make this Halloween a safe and happy one for all our animals, both in our backyards and in our living rooms ❤️

Some history

25/10/2026

Heads up. Trigger warning.

We hate to be proactive, but please be aware that we are coming into the last few months before Christmas, and as has happened for the last few Christmases, we have had a lot of cars that were broken into, stolen, or rifled through.
Please lock your cars and never leave anything on the seats that may lure thieves to break a window. 😐

Furthermore, for homes: lock your doors and do not leave bikes, surfboards, etc., out in the open. Last year, we had thieves walking into home backyards in daylight and walking out with bikes, etc. If you see anything that looks suspicious, please call the police.

We are sorry for this post, but cars are already being stolen in Mullum, so this is a warning that we could be next.💯

• Ocean Shores Community Centre - 27 October from 5pm to 7pm.

I have spoken to the council today.
The pumps appear to be working.
I will keep you posted; there is no reason to worry.
For the homes that live beside or near North South Easements, can you check that nothing is blocking the drains under the roads?
If there is, please report it here as well as calling the Council depot.
Thanks community. 💯🌼
