IndyNR reports that Kyogle Council is preparing to discuss a CSIRO report concerning large basins. According to the report summary, concerns have been raised about the distribution of costs and benefits, with one community potentially bearing significant economic, environmental and social costs while benefits accrue elsewhere in the catchment.
In separate wildlife news from the Richmond Valley area, IndyNR reports that two kookaburras fell down a chimney into a resident's home while she was eating dinner. The birds were caught in a net by her brother-in-law, bringing an unexpected end to the household's mealtime.
