Join us for this week's Community Newsroom as we take a look at the stories shaping the Northern Rivers.

This week, we hear why Byron Shire Council says the Northern Rivers Rail Trail is still alive despite missing out on $42 million in federal funding. We also explore plans for Gulgan Village, a proposed new housing development near Brunswick Heads that could become Byron Shire's newest suburb.

We'll head to Suffolk Park to learn more about the community-led Southern Gateway Corridor vision, which aims to tackle long-standing issues including flooding, traffic congestion, coastal erosion and emergency access.

We hear from Parkinson's Australia following a major review into the herbicide paraquat and ongoing concerns about its potential links to Parkinson's disease.

And to finish, we'll revisit the story of Wyuna 1, the yacht stranded on North Belongil Beach for more than six weeks and the community effort that helped return it to the water.

Plus, local voices, community perspectives and the stories that matter across the Northern Rivers.
